We were still early for our ADR at Yak & Yeti but we tried to slowly make our way there anyway. We were hoping that by the time we got there it would be close to 12:30 and we could check in. When we got there it was 11:45am! There was not enough time to do anything else before our ADR but it still was not actually time. I decided to just pop in and ask if we could check in early. The worst they can say is "no", right??? The nice CM that I spoke to looked around on her chart and found us a table right then!! We did not have to wait at all.
Our ADR MOJO was definitely in tact and I started to wonder if it was because of Flat Jordan. I'm thinking that maybe Jordan sent some of his MOJO along when he sent us FJ.
We were seated upstairs which was quite a climb but they do have an elevator for those who can not make it up the 2 flights of stairs. I love the themeing in this restaurant and wish I would have taken more pictures of it. Here is a pic of the menu's.....
DH and I both got cokes and DS got milk. It was our first day and we were hot and hungry and hadn't really found our "groove" in the parks yet so dh and I skipped the alcohol menu for now.
As we waited for our waitress to come back to take our orders, dh took a pic of ds and I. Then, FJ decided to jump out and have some fun at the table too!
***I must say that when I set up the FJ picture, the couple at the table next to us stared at me in horror. You really would have thought I commited a murder or something.
Our waitress came by before I had a chance to put FJ back in the bag so I had to explain myself.
When I told her it was our friend Jordan in California and he couldn't come with us, she made such a fuss about how sweet we were and the other couple FINALLY turned around and minded their own business. DH and I had a good chuckle after this.
I didn't take FJ out for anymore pic's in this restaurant because of that couple. However, I quickly learned throughout the trip how to handle people like this. From then on I ignore them until after I get my picture taken, then with FJ still in hand I turn to them and look them directly in the eye and smile really big like I'm about to go talk to them......they seem to scatter at this time.
"OH NO, THE CRAZY LADY WITH THE GUY ON A STICK IS GOING TO TALK TO US...EVERYBODY RUN!!!!"
Ok, back to lunch... I can't remember what ds got but I think it was either chicken strips or mac & cheese. He also had the carrot strips and apple sauce for dessert. It was around this time that DS started showing his grumpy side!! He was not in a good mood anymore and had been up since 4:30am without a nap. He was not a happy camper, and all I could think was to hurry up and eat and get the heck out of there!!
DH had the steak & shrimp which he said was "ok" but you have to remember that DH is a picky eater. DH can also grill a killer steak so it's sort of hard to get him out of his comfort zone with steaks. I tried it and realized what his problem was. It was marinated in wine or a wine sauce. I thought it was great!! So, you can judge by which ever one of us you may be the most similar with as far as food attitudes go.
I had the shrimp lo-mein and it was WONDERFUL!!! Very tasty and as usual with WDW the portion size was LARGE so I couldn't eat it all but I sure tried really hard. I wish I would have remembered to take pictures but unfortunately I didn't remember until the dessert came and we were already half way through.
So, sorry about the half eaten pictures but here was our dessert. We weren't even going to get desert since we were so stuffed but our waitress talked us into it by reminding us that it is included on the dining plan. DH got the chocolate brownie sundae which I cracked up laughing at when she set it on the table because it is HUGE!!! DH just looked at her like "what am I supposed to do with this??"
Seriously we could have all 3 shared it and still had some left over. Here it is.....
I ordered the sorbet which came with 3 different flavors...mango, lemon, & raspberry. Let me tell you....IT WAS SO GOOD!!! I wish I hadn't been so full or I would have eaten the entire thing. Here is what half of it looks like
