Our First Update of the Day today was sent to us by Lauren (Giselle22).


She and her group had dinner last night at...



Be our Guest



2013-01-16_19-54-13_600.jpg



Lauren said, "The restaurant is beautiful! The pic from my phone of course does not do it justice."





2013-01-16_20-09-47_882.jpg


Potato Leek Soup


"I had potato leek soup. Good but just a touch too salty."





2013-01-16_20-09-22_450.jpg


French Onion Soup


"A few others had the french onion and really liked it.
The flash made the broth look clear, but it's actually dark brown as it should be." ;)






2013-01-16_20-12-23_202.jpg


All-Natural Fruit Punch - sweetened with organic cane juice and wildberry extract topped with lemon-lime foam


"My brother got a fruit punch drink, very tasty!"





2013-01-16_20-12-36_368.jpg


Garden Salad with Champagne Vinaigrette

2013-01-16_20-39-53_437.jpg


Thyme-scented Pork Rack Chop with au gratin macaroni, green beans and red wine au jus


Lauren said, "Everything was good! The pork was superb. The only problem my brother and I had was that we are huge wimps and whatever they put on the green beans was too spicy for us to eat them."





2013-01-16_21-03-01_166.jpg



"We also ordered almost every dessert! :lmao: Their desserts are excellent. My mom thought the strawberry cupcake was too sweet, but I thoroughly enjoyed it!"





2013-01-16_21-03-52_672.jpg


Chocolate Cream Puff filled with chocolate mousse topped with whipped cream




2013-01-16_21-06-21_722.jpg



"I took a couple pics after we had cut into things so you can see the fillings."



2013-01-16_21-07-18_149.jpg






"After you eat, they let you wander around and take pics of the rest of the place. And they are very good about making sure you have time to get a photo with beast. When we were toward the end of our dinner a cast member kept us updated on beast's schedule so we wouldn't miss him before we left. Our ressie had us leaving the park after closing, so I should have a couple decent closed-park pics, but they're on my camera so I'll have to wait til I can use the computer tonight."


2 January Games Points Earned + 1 Bonus Point for First Update of the Day





Lauren later sent some additional pics from her dinner at Be our Guest.

We ate in the Ballroom at Be Our Guest. I took a pic of the place setting...then everyone took apart their napkins and spent the rest of the meal figuring out how to roll them back up into pretty roses." :laughing:


BOG1-1.jpg





"The ballroom is gorgeous! There was an empty table next to us so I snapped a pic so you could see what you might be walking up to at dinner time."



BOG3-1.jpg





"At the back of the ballroom there are huge windows with mountains and snow falling behind them (it's a terrible picture!). "


BOG4.jpg





"The west wing is much smaller and rather dark. We had a late ressie, so after we ate I was able to get this picture of an almost-empty West Wing. And that's my brother looking at the enchanted rose. The third room was closed off, so no pictures.":(



BOG5.jpg





BOG6.jpg





"But we walked by the lunch time kiosks to go see Beast and I took a pic of the lunch menu."



BOG7.jpg


Be our Guest Lunch Menu




"We stopped by Gaston's quickly on Friday so I could take some pictures, so I got one of the menu there too."

California Breakfast Burrito with scrambled eggs, diced tomato, Cheddar cheese, bacon and red bliss potatoes


Paula said, "I thought it would be pretty tasty but even with bacon in it it needed more salt (and I RARELY add salt to anything!)."





And then later Paula sent this pic from Ghirardelli...



7BCF32CE-B1A0-4C55-A779-FAD3B6AB9222-12287-00000C7B6BF49483.jpg

She said, "Lunch was leftovers from last night. I wanted a sweet treat in the afternoon. I picked up this brownie from Roaring Forks. Really rich and super sweet. I could only eat a few bites. This will probably last the entire trip home tomorrow."




And then tonight, Niki said...


"DH is starting to get sick now. We did carry out from WPE. He had meatloaf and I had spaghetti and meatballs. Phone out of charge so I didn't get photos. We also shared tortilla soup and creme brulee. The food was all awesome."
