Everything looks delicious. I really wanted to try Narcoosee's but couldn't quite fit it in. I'm happy to hear that your meal went well and you had good service. I've never seen a presentation like that for a steak before. The potatoes look fantastic and oh so fancy.
You didn't get the Almond Crusted Cheesecake???? Oh dear goodness. :cry:
But your chicken dish looked amazing.
Great Narccossees review, it's one of my favorites!! I am running the SW Half marathon in Jan too! Cannot wait.
Thanks for the Narcoose's review. The menu has never completely jumped out at me so we've never been, though that chicken may change the equation. It looks great. But the plating on your hubby's steak. What in the world were they thinking? Very odd.
I love your reviews, I can't wait to go to Trader Sam's when we are there in November, the drinks look good and I may spend a small fortune just to get the souvenir glasses!
We are staying at the poly in September so I'm sure me and captain cooks will become good friends. Good to know they have sweets for my night cravings and savory tie me over in the morning
The rooms at the Poly look beautiful! I would love to stay there someday. I really enjoyed the Flower and Garden booth offerings. I'm intrigued by the Piggylicious cupcake but I heard that the frosting was cream cheese based and I don't like cream cheese. Did you taste much cream cheese? And I looove Artisans. Like your husband, their mint chocolate chip is my absolute favorite.
I really enjoyed Trader Sam's when I was there! I wanted to order the Krakatoa but they didn't have the souvenir glasses at the time for it, and I wanted a glass to take home! But that one will be the one I get next time And we love Narcoossee's, it's one of our favorites. Though the presentation of those potatoes with the filet did make me laugh - it looks pretty silly on that plate!
We're staying at the Poly July of 2016 and I'm pretty eager to see Trader Sam's! Following along by the way!
Major props to you for thinking ahead and being safe. We drink some on vacation too, after all it is VACATION plus it's quite fun to try new things!Animal Kingdom as originally I had plans of us drinking a bit more and I didn't want to feel like I had to hold back because of driving.
It's Tough to be a Bug gets a bad rap but we like it, and it gives me the shivers to think of certain parts! lol that is a bummer about Dinosaur- I loved that ride!Our first attrition was Its Tough To Be A Bug and went to head to Dinosaur for our FP+ selection only to find that it was closed.
Oooh was it fun! I stayed back with the little one last time, so the trip in July 2016 will be my first ever time riding Everest!I had received the email about alternative FP+ selections available so we headed to Everest.
Yay, at least you got to see a tiger.We did the walk through in Asia to try to see the Tigers (only 1 was out) and made our way back to Africa.
Which drink did you end up? Totally get on trying glasses by what you can take home with you! I'll probably do the same until I have a larger collection built up.

Enjoying your reviews! *cheers*
Lost on Safari is one of my favorites. I like it because its not too strong for a hot day. Next time try the Harambe Cooler. It's the grownup sibling of the Lost on Safari. Much stronger because it includes a floater or Myers. Tastes almost the same due to the punch.
I got the hippopoto-mai-tai or however you spell it lol. Since it was still soft opening there were several glasses they didn't have available. But it was good and I think the glass is very cute! I'm sure we'll be back at Trader Sam's as well, so I'm also going to work on building up my collection
All caught up! Yes this will be my first Run Disney event and I am so excited!!
Nice Reviews so far!!!
Love the Dawa Bar and that Lost on Safari looks great. If only they'd let me take it on the actual safari ; )
Captain Cook's
So we were back at the Polynesian by noon. I was hungry as that little bit of potatoes and a biscuit wasn't really enough to keep me full. We realized that Tambu Lounge wasn't yet serving as they opened at 1PM. My husband said he wasn't really hungry after all so I grabbed something to go from Captain Cook's to eat back in the room while finding something mindless to watch on TV.
Pulled Pork Nachos - Topped with Onions, Cheese, Spicy Mayo, and Pineapple Salsa
Instead of typical nacho chips, it was actually wonton chips and potato chips. I was surprised on how much I really enjoyed these! The pulled pork really played off the mixture of toppings that were on the nachos. It also was a ton of food so I wasn't able to finish it.
