Chasing Ducks and The Maya Grill
We got back to our resort and chilled for a little while. Watched some Stacy while getting our showers and preparing ourselves for dinner. I absolutely hate going to dinner without cleaning up first.
I know that this is sometimes a big debate, especially in our family. Jonathan thinks that while at the World, showering before dinner is a waste of precious time. I, however, don't like being stinky and sweaty while eating. So this is usually our point of contention in trip planning.
But thankfully he *usually* gives in on this one.
So we hopped in the car and drove over to Coronado Springs for our ADR. I have never been to CS before but Jonathan had stayed here with his family on a previous trip when he was younger. He has been trying to get me to go and I've been putting him off. So I finally conceded and we gave ourselves some time to explore. I ended up very happy that I did!
It is such a beautiful resort! I love the theming and it's just like Disney to do everything to the tee.
Here are me and Sloan in the lobby right as you walk in.
We decided to take a walk and Sloan found a duck. Now this poor duck was chased all around!!! Sloan would not leave it alone and I was too tired to chase Sloan!
This photo was after a good 10 minutes of duck chasing. She was yelling, "QUACK QUACK!!!!!"
Who knew that ducks could work up such an appetite? So we went to the Maya Grill for our ADR.
Believe it or not but this is the kid's chicken and rice plate.
It was HUGE! And Sloan loved it. She could eat rice and chicken for every meal.
And she loves chips.
Appetizers:
Jonathan got the Queso Fundido which is melted cheese with poblano peppers, chorizo, and flour tortillas
I had the Guacamole. Delish!
Entree:
Jonathan had the Sirloin Tacos which he loved!
I ordered the Chicken Enchiladas. They were so yummy.
Dessert:
Jonathan was very full so he got the Espresso Dessert Shot
And I had the most delicious Coconut Flan. Now, flan isn't for everyone. It's very custardy and eggy. But my mom is Cuban so I love it.
Don't forget Sloan, she ate the chocolate shavings off of Jonathan's dessert.
When she really likes something she shoves it all in her mouth really fast like you are going to take it away. Silly girl!
After dinner it was back to the resort for pj's and fireworks. Ahhhhh, isn't this the life?
Up Next: Rainforest Cafe for breakfast and loads of animals at Animal Kingdom.
