Celebrating 3 Years of YouTube at Flying Fish! Full Review | Disney's Boardwalk Resort 2023
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 тра 2024
- On July 7th 2020, we released our first UA-cam video. A painfully awkward tour of a Courtyard by Marriot in Hershey Pennsylvania. We've learned a lot and have grown exponentially as creators since then. To commemorate 3 years, we went to Flying Fish at Disney's Boardwalk Resort at the suggestion of our subscribers.
To be honest, we weren't sure how our channel would perform when we first started. Subsequently, we feel privileged to have this small supportive network of subscribers. We've met, worked with and grown with such an incredible cast of content creators and feel incredibly appreciative to have a tiny place in this community.
We celebrated at Flying Fish because we knew that our subscribers wouldn't steer us wrong. Not to spoil the video but the meal was incredible. We rate every dish, provide a tour of the restaurant and at the end go over our top 3 restaurants on Walt Disney World property.
Thank you to anyone whose liked, subscribed, commented, super-thanked or supported us in any way. The support both big and small is what helps keep us motivated to create and grow. We still have a lot to learn and the consistent work on ourselves is why we find UA-cam fulfilling.

**We apologize for some of the poor image quality in this video, as we were filming in a higher frame rate, and had technical difficulties with the lighting** We debated not releasing the footage, but it was an excellent meal and a celebration that we really wanted to share with our subscribers. We will be more cognizant of this in the future.
Also for reference the total of this meal was $150.80 including a $35.40 20% passholder discount, without the discount it would have been $186.20.
Personalities and content make up for lighting issues 😊
Thank you so much for understanding and for the kind words !!!
The food looked amazing! Didn’t notice any picture issues 😊
This looked GREAT- Thanks for sharing & congrats 👏 👍
Thank you! Honestly one of our favorite Walt Disney World restaurants. We really appreciate it 🙂.
Congrats on Three Years, guys! 😁 It's truly so much more impressive when you think about how many creators started when we all started, and how many have dropped out long before reaching this point. Y'all are truly dedicated to your content and it shows! 03:29 Nice thing about Disney is that grace period for reservations. Since they're so hard to book, they're usually pretty chill about late entries as long as you're within 15 minutes of your time - with the exception of TRON's virtual queue, of course lol I agree with Sam, too, that a reliable go-to for any seafood restaurant is the Surf-n-Turf steak! I think the New York Strip at Flying Fish may be a little too crispy for my liking on the exterior, but the interior looked just right. 9 is a big number for a steak, so I feel like its initial appearance on camera might just be leading me astray! The snapper sounded pretty good as well, even for a non-seafood-lover such as myself. Love it when a fish doesn't taste fishy. 😍 Dessert looked incredible! A perfect 10 is hard to come by 😱 Great video, guys, as always!
For every creator that has dropped off, another one has popped up lol Yes, very grateful they allow a grace period, but we never feel right assuming we can be late- ya never know how things are going to go and I HATE being late. I've heard the Tron queue is strict, but Guardians has been very lenient for us. I didn't imagine a seafood restaurant ever being in my top 3, but the steak was perfection- the outside coating/seasoning was very good and not too crispy. Jay's dish did look intriguing, even as a non seafood goer- I feel like potato wrapping helps most things. Thank you for your kind words and we are thankful our UA-cam journey allowed us to meet other creators and friends like you guys!!
Happy Anniversary and Congratulations!!! This is a huge accomplishment. I don't think people realize how much work being a UA-camr is. It's all on you. Being able to create good content and gain subscribers continously is something to be very proud of. Thank you for all your hard work and providing us with quality content and making our past and future Disney dining experiences wonderful. Our Disney restaurant must try list continues to grow after this video. The bread and butter looked amazing. Congrats again!
Thank YOU Jamie! We have a long way to go and still so much to learn, but we feel so lucky to have grown the channel to what it has become today. We really enjoy making the videos and we love hearing from everyone who watches. Your kindness means the world to us and I am so glad you've had good experiences based on our suggestions. Our list is always growing too!!! Thanks again :)
Thank you, that really means a lot. We do our best not to bring up that this is a lot of work because we honestly feel privilege to be able to experience all of these amazing places but it really is. There are times we've been burnt out a bit or had things happen in our personal lives that make keeping to the schedule a bit harder. We really appreciate you acknowledging and recognizing how much goes into the channel. Knowing that you find our content to be "quality" is incredibly rewarding because we can be critical of what we put out. We feel lucky to be a small part in helping you plan some can't miss dining and the bread & butter was incredible 😋. - Jay

That means so much. The love is reciprocated and thank you 😃.
Just discovered you guys not too long ago and am enjoying catching up on all of your videos!! You really do a great job and I am looking forward to more!!
We're glad you found us and so happy to know you enjoy the videos- we really enjoy making them :)
I stumbled across your channel when you did your Coney Island video because I was going to Coney Island for the first time and wanted to see the food offerings they had. Your channel came up and been hooked ever since!
Coney Island is a special place to me, my Dad lived in Brooklyn and used to take me there when I was a kid. I’m so glad it’s still around! Thanks so much for sticking with us ❤️ Hope you had some good Coney Island eats!
Congratulations on 3 years enjoy your videos
Thank you! It really means a lot knowing you enjoy our content. We really appreciate your support.
I have never eaten at Flying Fish before! The seashore sweet drink as an 8, that's a great score for a drink! Love the fish forks haha! The appetizers look so good, that pork belly looks amazing and a 9, now I really want it! Your entrees look amazing too, more 9's, wow that's awesome! Wow, and a 10 and a 9 for the desserts! I reallllly need to go here next time. Your review has me completely sold! Awesome video as always you guys and happy 3 years on UA-cam!!
AbracadaBar is such a cool spot, I think you guys would enjoy it :) Such high scores, I couldn't believe it!!! Definitely add it to your list. Thank you as always for your support and friendship.
congrats on 3 years ,after this review , i will be trying flying fish this fall ,thanks
Thank you! We really appreciate it. Happy our review helped guide some of your trip 😃. We definitely recommend this spot and hope to hear your thoughts after you dine here.
Appreciate the consistency
We put a lot into being consistent and really appreciate you noticing 😃.
Happy YT anniversary!! We haven't tried this one before but definitely need to!!
Thank you 😃. We definitely recommend Flying Fish. Really happy so many people suggested it to us because our experience was top tier!
Congratulations! Flying Fish is one of my absolute favorites. I love the restaurant proper but sitting at the bar is my preference. I don’t know how they do it but the bartenders work serious magic and create a bit of community at the bar, if you’re up for it (they also take the cue if you’d rather keep to yourself -and that’s fine). As for future suggestions, these would be a splurge/special occasion but maybe Bull & Bear at Waldorf or Capa at Four Seasons?
Thank you! Flying Fish just became one of our favorites too 😆. The bar looked incredibly atmospheric. Thanks for the tip! We've been talking about going back and that sounds like a perfect casual option. We actually went to Bull & Bear on Valentine's Day for our honeymoon 😃 This was before we vlogged. One of our favorite restaurants of all time. Capa just made our list now! We really appreciate the suggestions.
Congrats you guys!! I love watching your videos, I found you last year when I was looking for HHN food booth reviews ❤
Oh man, can't wait for this years HHN! Sam's already ready to decorate for Halloween 😆. It means so much knowing you enjoy the videos. Thank you!
Happy 3 years! I’m so glad you are here!
Thanks so much! We're glad and feel lucky to be here 😃.
Congratulations ❤
Thank you!!!
Congratulations on 3 years!
Thank you 😃
Thanks for sharing and happy anniversary! I love the close ups of the food, looks so delicious. Definitely never heard of this one but added it to my Disney wish list for the next vacation! Thanks guys!
Thank YOU for watching. Every single item was better than the next at Flying Fish. We've seen this place a million times and I'm glad it was recommended to us. You can even walk here from Epcot! Thanks so much for the kind words.
IM SO HAPPY AND PROUD OF YOU TWO!!! You guys had a dream and you made it a reality. Not many people can say they did that. Follow your heart!!!
Also. If I didn’t book all our reservations for august I would probably go to here cause holy hell all the food looked sooooo good!!!!
Congratulations again. And keep it up!
Thanks so much Chris. You were our original supporter and I feel like our first real subscriber. What I say at the end of the video actually exists because you told me we were weren't asking people to like and subscribe enough 😆. Flying Fish is definitely a must get for a future trip. The meal was unreal and is in my top 3 for Disney currently. Can't wait for your trip in August. We appreciate all your support and are excited to see what the future has for us 😃.
@@ThemeParkFoodies you know how to make a guy blush.
3 years already i remember the first vlogs that i saw was hersheys park 🥰🤗😀Congratulations ❣❤💝💖🎆🎇🎊🎉🎈so happy for your channel jay and Sam you're persons & perseverance and love of food got ya here here's to many many more! i love you guys 🥰😍🤩😘🤗
Oh man 😆, Hershey was such a trip. We actually contemplated moving there! Too cold though for us in the winter. Thank you so much for sticking with us and for all the support. Hope to see yah again real soon 😃. The love is reciprocated.
@@ThemeParkFoodies it does get a bit nippy up here & you get those Golden sunsets that Trumps all sunsets!🌇Glorious😎✌
Congratulations and HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!! You two have brought me SO much needed joy since finding your channel. Thank you so much for all you do - you're both so amazing! Can't wait to see what the future holds!
That means a lot to us. We can definitely relate to vlogs bringing much needed joy. Before we started vlogging we were in a real tumultuous part of our lives and theme park videos brought us a little peace at the end of each day. Thank you for your kind words and support. Looking forward to the future 😃.
Hey congratulations to my favorite foodie couple on 3 years!
Really love you guys for your charming, engaging energy and food passion
Thrilled you're finally at one of my 5 favorite wdw restaurants
I've had 4 remarkable dinners there - just think their food (and service) are impeccable and tinged with fantasy
I adore that pork belly - also adore the deconstructed shrimp cocktail
The steak and potato wrapped snapper are both unforgettable
And yeah - that chocolate thing is bliss on a plate
The one place I most look forward to getting back to asap
Happy summer!
Thank you! Knowing your background definitely adds weight to those compliments. We try to be positive and energetic so knowing you see that means a lot. This made it into my(Jay) top 3! Thank you for the suggestion. This changed the landscape of Disney Dining for us. Everything was a home run and hope to come back again and again for more. We wouldn't have gone without your suggestion! Hope you have a happy Summer too 😃.
Congratulations on three years!!! I so enjoy your videos. You are genuine and I love that Sam doesn't like fish but goes to fish restaurants lol (as someone allergic to shellfish I appreciate you). I am now going back and watching older videos before our Oct. trip. Thank you for all you do :)
Thank you so much Lisa. We really appreciate your kind words and are so happy to hear your enjoy the videos. I even got married at Paddlefish, despite not being a seafood eater lol I have to say Disney seafood based restaurants, always have good alternatives! Great steaks and I loved the pork chop from Narcoossee's. We hope you enjoy your trip!!!
Congratulations on 3 years! Thank you for all of the wonderful food reviews! I look forward to those every Monday and Thursday!
Thank you 😃. Knowing you look forward to our videos really means a lot to us. We greatly appreciate your support.
This meal looked amazing! We ate at Flying Fish a few years back but there are some signature dishes back on the menu that look soooo good. You’ve actually thrown a spanner in the works of our last night meal - we have Yachtsman Steakhouse booked for our final night but I’m wondering whether to book Flying Fish now!
Oh man, that's a tough choice! Yachtsman is rated Walt Disney World's best restaurant by TripAdvisor but, based on our experiences, we prefer Flying Fish. I don't think you can go wrong with either though 😃. What we had here was definitely phenomenal.
@@ThemeParkFoodies we so enjoy your videos, especially on the run up to our first trip in 4 years (we are UK based) x
Okay, we changed our final night meal from Yachtsman to Flying Fish! It’s also Chris’s birthday so we are excited to eat somewhere special. We have a really tiny UA-cam channel and you can probably guess from our name that we are all about the food and drink! Love from Shari and Chris x
Happy UA-camversary!
Thank you so much :) Hope you're enjoying your bagels!!!!
@@ThemeParkFoodies 😄I am! 🥯💖
3 years congrats ! Love all your reviews. I remember the last time we went to flying fish. I did not feel like fish that night so I got a steak. Ordered it medium. The chef actually came out to the table and said "I don't serve it that way" I said so ? That's the way I ordered it, please cook it that way. He went onto lecture me that any steak cooked past med rare is not to be served. The manager came over by that point as the chef had a real attitude. We are professional people with 30 years of eating at nice restaurants. We got our apps and drinks comped and we left and never went back. The manager could not have been nicer and was embarrassed by the chefs actions. God forbid, you don't want to ruffle the feathers of some prima donna wanna be world chef...He probably works at Wendy's now...
Thank you so much! WOW- I am truly shocked to hear that, that is so disappointing. I am glad you got comped and that the manager was accommodating. Sorry you guys experienced that!!
I had the potato wrapped snapper on our honeymoon over 10 years ago, and I maintain it is still the best meal I ever had. Missed out on it on our last visit due to the Fish being closed for rennovations (op3ned the dya we left 😢), so it's #1 on my list of places to eat when we go next summer.
Oh man, I'm sure it will feel even extra special when you get to return! Thanks for watching :)
@@ThemeParkFoodies I hope so. I am dragging the entire extended family with me, after hyping the place up for a decade!
@@chrisbaird4204 haha that is A LOT of pressure, but I am sure it will be just as good if not better than you remember!
The lobster bisque or orange color threw me off. I was expecting it to be white. WOW best of all time!! was it creamy? I guess it kind of reminds me of a squash soup which is usually creamy. I absolutely love lobster bisque as well. I love the sherry they cook it in & especially when there are big chunks of lobster!! 🦞
It was definitely creamy and so good. Reading this comment made me want to go back 😆. My wallet can't take it right now though. If you love lobster bisque, this bisque is a must in my opinion. So good! 🙂
Awesome video, the Flying Fish was nowhere on my radar when it comes to Disney Dining. Now, we’re going to check it out when we head there in October! Also, I think I missed it, but so far, what’s the best pizza at Disney?
It wasn't on ours either! We had a lot of subscribers comment about Flying Fish in our other videos which is why we went. Incredible! The Disney Pizza, oh man 😆, I think right now it's Via Napoli(restaurant) with Blaze at 2. Not saying they are the best pizzas, they just don't have much competition. We still have more Disney pizza to try!! Thank you 😃.
Flying Fish is a great restaurant probably the best at Boardwalk Inn in my opinion
We appreciate all The Boardwalk resort restaurants but I definitely agree. Flying Fish was top tier during our experience 😃.
My name is Craig Dennis how are you both doing today me and my mom and my dad doing fine today my mom birthday is tomorrow i watch your both new videos all the time you both take care👍👍👍👍👍
Hi Craig 😃. Your Mom's birthday lands right on our UA-cam anniversary. How cool! Please tell her we said Happy Birthday 🎉. We appreciate all your support and take care!
Im so behind on like 6 videos I'll catch up.
Ty
We missed you! Hope you’re doing well 💜
Btw
You tube changed my name on here for some reason
But this is Jon- theatre director and filmmaker from Portland Oregon
Glad you understand why I kept telling you to get to Flying fish!
😆 UA-cam I think did that when they made the @ handles. It's why we rushed to claim our name. Pesky social media apps. Seriously, thank you, without your suggestion we wouldn't have known!
Flying Fish is great, no question but I really have to question your ratings after you gave PizzeRizzo pizza a 7.
That was me(Jay), Sam I think went 4? I stand by it being fun personal pizza for a theme park. You can't compare to a New Park Pizza in Queens, that'd be a 10. Either way taste is subjective and hope you wont hold my love of food against me 😆.
@@ThemeParkFoodies my comment was in jest.... or was it???? I always appreciate different points of view and reviews. I have my favorites and try to check out a new restaurant each trip. Embarrassingly I have never eaten at California Grill but hope to get a reservation there during my October trip. Hoping for Takumi-Tei in January. If you have a few extra hours I would appreciate a Takumi-Tei review please.
Thank you for understanding! Sam always says that I'm too nice because I just like eating 😆. Takumi-Tei and Monnsiuer Paul are high on our list in Epcot. What holds us back is the price. We're saving those for a special occasion to help justify the cost. We'll definitely see if we can slip it in though because we've been really hoping to get there. California Grill is my favorite. No embarrassment necessary! Still so many amazing spots we haven't eaten at too. If you can get Nassar as a waiter at Cali Grill you hit the jackpot. Honestly, Nassar being our waiter our last two visits is a big reason why they topped our list. Hope you can get in and that you have the best trip 😃. Thanks for the suggestion!
It would be nice if you would share your bill with us to know how much you actually paid. I mean we could add it up by stopping your video and looking at the prices, but other food bloggers I watch, always share their bill total just to get an accurate idea of what it cost to eat there.
Hi Lisa we can definitely start including this, I am going to add the total to the pinned comment at the top for reference :) Thanks so much for watching!

🎈Congratulations on your 3rd @the_themepark_foodies UA-cam anniversary 🎈Thanks for taking us along on your adventures!! I thoroughly enjoy each and every episode ❣️
Thank you so much. We really appreciate all your support and always look forward to hearing from you :)
I really enjoyed my meal at the Flying Fish. The atmospher and the food is outstanding! One if my top 3 meals at Disney was Citrico’s! The smoked duck breast and the tilefish was unique and delicious. They are also well known for their guava braised short ribs. Would love to see your reviews from there.
Citricos is on our list! Thank you for the suggestion. I(Jay) went to Citricos before we started vlogging but Sam has never been. Definitely can attest to it being great. Will make sure we keep guava short rib and Tile Fish in mind when we eventually get there 😃. Thank you!
