The FANCIEST meal of our lives!!
I'm so excited to write about this night!
When I told my Dad we were going to Disney, he kept asking me about our dining reservations. He was wondering why I didn't have Narcooses, Citricos, California Grill, and Victoria and Alberts on my list. I told him it's because I'm 25 and can't afford them!! Those were always the places we went when we were on our trip (I think we used to have the deluxe dining plan..but it used to be called the Grand Plan) So he told me that since it is Joe's first trip we couldn't NOT go to Victoria and Alberts and I Told him there was no way I would spend that much on a dinner so he surprised me and made reservations for us and told me about it on my birthday! He's the best- I couldn't believe he called them and everything!
So we had a 9PM reservation at Victoria & Albert's. We had packed our dressy clothes & got ready for our big night out.
Joe is a VERY picky eater, sort of like a child, so since I have been to V&A's before I had to make him promise he would try anything they gave us. I said they could give you anything weird and it will taste good, I promise! He agreed he would try everything!
So we were all ready and go to the bus to go to MK and take the boat over to V&A's. We left with PLENTY of time so we could look around the Grand Floridian. I was so excited to be back at the resort since I haven't been there since I was 10 or 11.
On our way to the GF!

Band Playing near Mezners Lounge
We did a little shopping around the hotel & then went to Mezners Lounge for a drink before our reservation.
I love this picture of Joe! He had a margarita.
I had some type of martini...
We checked in to the restaurant and were seated. We were introduced to our waiter & waitress. When I was younger & came here with my dad each table had a waiter & waitress named "Victoria & Albert". Our waiter and waitress's name tags had their actual names so I asked why they no longer were Victoria & Albert. The waiter told me that people used to call to request certain servers and they never would know their names since everyone was called Victoria or Albert so they started using their real names. I thought that was too funny.
There was a card on our table addressed to both of us from my dad.
It was so sweet. The waiter told us the notes in back said they had his CC on file & to go crazy. haha Soo with that...we ordered the wine pairing for each of us & they started to explain the menu & courses.
Each course came with a wine pairing and there was a different bread with each course too. Each course also had multiple options so Joe and I made sure to pick different things so we could try more.
Ok I am about to bombard you with pictures because I honestly don't remember everything we ate because you get so many courses - just know that NOTHING tasted bad, it was seriously ALL SO DELICIOUS!
This one was some type of seafood inside of it, I don't remember it.
This one was tomatoes 3 ways... Joe really enjoyed it.
This was one of my favorites! It was a sesame seed crusted scallop, it was the best scallop I've ever eaten.
Some type of salmon Joe tried I think.
MMMM this was so good too it was a potato gnocchi & truffles dish.
I think this is Joe's main entree which was a KOBE Beef... which is the best steak you could ever try.EVER.
This was mine..which was duck. I don't really remember why I picked duck because I'm not a huge fan of duck(maybe it was the wine LOL ) but even this was good.
This was the course prior to dessert...which was like PRE DESSERT... I got a cheese & fig plate.
Joe got some type of sorbet.
Wine, wine, & more wine. It was def. too much wine..I was never done with one glass by the time another came. They were all delicious though!!
After all of these courses AND wine...I was SO FULL. But we still had to order our last course dessert...
I had a creme brulee and Joe ordered a chocolate souffle- BOTH AMAZING even though we were beyond full.
Funny story- at some point towards the end of the meal I looked at Joe and told him (probably while giggling) that I shouldn't have any more wine and continued to spill what was left of red wine in one of the glasses.
I was so embarrassed and didn't want anyone to see (it got on the table clothe only) so I put my napkin over it for the rest of the night. I'm laughing out loud thinking about this.
With Dessert we got this AWESOME coffee pot at our table...it was seriously so good! Its like a vacuum and sucks the water up to the top where the coffee grounds are and then releases the coffee back into the bottom.
At the end of the meal they bring you more candy/chocolates that are made but we had them wrapped up. They also brought me a rose, our menus (which are personalized), and the card from my dad.
It was around 12AM I think when we finished up and they called us a cab to take us home.
Pictures on our way out...
We got in the cab to go back to CBR and I most definitely was sleeping within 5 minutes.
When we got home (resort home) we had a minor disaster.... did we fix it? I'll tell you soon!
I haven't decided where we will have lunch this year when we go back.
