Day 5 part 2: Blue Bayou
Running back in the park Belle is out meeting near the entrance.
Once inside... of course the Diamond Chipmunks are meeting and the line is closed. NOT FUNNY.
Back at New Orleans Square we sign in for our Fantasmic Package at Blue Bayou. In hindsight this should turn out to be another not so bright idea.
We're being seated at a waterside table. Would have been nice if the ride had been running, but alas it wasn't meant to be. The good news is though that our lovely hostess has no less than three new Hidden Mickeys on her lanyard. Big score.
Bread basket - that was really good.
Andrea's starter, gumbo. She thought it was okay.
My starter, salad - not much chances to screw up a salad. Though the dressing was very heavy on the vinegar side, so I did not particularly like this.
Andrea's main, Puertobello Mushroom and Long Grain Rice. She absolutely hated it and didn't even eat half.
My main - the slow roasted beef strip loin. That wasn't bad, but it really was not as delicious as a lot of people said it would be.
Dessert. We're still debating if this was a peach or a pear tart. We heard differently and each of us claims it tasted of what we heard. Apparently from the menu it should have been Strawberry and Rhubarb Galette... well the strawberries I know certainly don't taste like this.
I go and find JJ in Tomorrowland. One of the Terrace performers (Thomasina) has her last show today and I promised to join her for at least two sets before running off for Fantasmic. The downside at the Terrace is that they block off the stage and only open the area shortly before the performance. If you go by hearsay that happened because some idiots kept climbing on it. Anyway, we have a pretty good spot until the rope drops and there's a stampede. Our front row spots are gone and because everyone in front towers above us we decide to hunt for a table instead. Oh well. You got to love queue jumpers.
JJ adores Thomasina. While I agree she's got a great voice I will admit that the performance isn't really my thing.
I leave early to get to the Rivers of America. Prior reports had indicated that showing up at the time designated on the Fast Pass wasn't the brightest idea.
