Yes, please link to it. I don't know why I haven't gotten a photo of that menu up.

The NBC Sports Grill Brew opened up last night for a soft opening. We went, and it was very good, and the service was great. Good American style restaurant with a very large beer selection. In my opinion it'll do a lot better than NASCAR did. They told us Official Grand opening is Oct 23rd, but will be open for dinner every night until then. (Lunch comes later)

NBA City is being dismantled and the big statue is down.

Bubba Gump Shrimp Company, February 2015

Mama Gump’s Garlic Bread Basket

Some other boat drink

Some sort of shrimp combo: grilled shrimp and vegetable skewers, scampi

Shrimper’s Heaven: Coconut Shrimp, Grilled Shrimp, Crisp Golden Shrimp, and Tempura Shrimp, with Fries. Homemade dipping sauces: Cajun Marmalade, Zesty Cocktail, Tangy Asian

Just a note on Bubba Gump Shrimp Company. I am trying to stay away from seafood shipped from China or Thailand due to unsafe breeding of the seafood. I asked my server at Bubba Gump where the country of origin the shrimp was from and he had to go back and check with the chef. I guess no one asks that question. The chef said, we get some from China and some from the US, but we don't know which goes into which dish.

Does anybody know if NBC Sports is taking reservations? It didn't look like it on the Universal website.

We are here now for a 2 night stay at the RPH before we transfer over to Boardwalk - and it's our Honeymoon so if we want to do it, then that's what we do.

We got in on a horribly delayed flight, so were subjected to mediocre airport food, with the exception of the D-Concourse Starbucks at MIA. I normally don't really expect much out of the HMS Host Starbucks locations, especially as you get further away from the mothership, but these ladies were phenomenal, and I enjoyed every sip of my drink and some of hubby's.

Once we got here, we were not feeling horribly in the mood to eat until after some shower and a bit of relaxing. We headed into IOA, because it was the only park that was open. Since we were there and we were both starting to get hungry, we started poking around for something that wasn't theme park food. Our bodies had told us in no uncertain terms that one more french fry or fried anything would cause misery the likes of which we'd never experienced.

We settled on Confisco's, one of the two table service locales in IOA.

He had the burger, whose name escapes me now, but he very much enjoyed it. We shared a spinach and artichoke dip with brioche, which was wonderful. It did not have jalepenos in it, which I consider perfect. It had about six servings. My dinner was the turkey croissant club, minus the tomato and lettuce, which was just wonderful, and the server was really sweet to substitute my potato salad out for a caesar salad. The salad I got was ho-hum, but it was better than potato salad.

We also went and got frozen butterbeer from the cart in Hogsmeade and wandered all the way around the park before it closed. Hubby really liked it, especially since he doesn't drink and there's not often special options for him.

I'd post photos, but I don't use any kind of public picture-sharing site. Since I'm not really willing to open one, my posts will remain pictureless.

I don't use photo sharing sites either, but you can upload photos straight from your computer. Have a lovely honeymoon!

Yep and it's so much easier uploading them direct from the computer to posts in here now.......PB can be good but it's such a faff sometimes.

I will investigate the photo upload options when I can connect the phone to the computer and update if possible.

Today we shared an adult and a child's portion of fish and chips, which was JUST the right amount for both of us, at The Leaky Cauldron, and followed it with a trip through Florian Fortescue's for some ice cream (Butterbeer for hubby, and earl grey and lavender plus salted caramel blondie sundae for me). Neither of us finished them, but they were good all the same.

We also reactivated our Freestyle cup (one for the two of us, because we drink the same things and can generally agree on what to put in it), and was told by the TM that the AP discounts no longer apply to the cups in either the initial purchase or the recharge the next day. She gave it to us anyway because we were wearing our honeymoon buttons. BTW: If you are celebrating something and wear a button, expect just about every TM to congratulate you. We've been congratulated all day, and had a few sweet perks thrown our way because of it.
