Your photo bucket snag is like the tape delay for the olympics- And, because you're there and we're not, we are all glued to our computers waiting for your every post! Happy Anniversary!

Our original reservation for Chefs de France was for seven o' clock, but we figured we would check in early since we were tired. They still seated us right away, about 40 minutes before our scheduled time. (There were actually quite a few empty tables.)

One of the first items they bring you is this yummy crusty French bread.

Next, we received our appetizers. My husband got French onion soup.

I got crab salad with shrimp, served with tomatoes and cucumbers.

We both really liked our appetizers. The crab salad was a little rich, so I only ate about half of it.

For our entrees, I got the beef short ribs, and my husband got the beef tenderloin. Both, as usual, were very yummy!

For dessert, my husband got the puffs with vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce, and I got a strawberry and cream cake with sorbet.

They even brought us a plate of fresh fruit with Happy Anniversary written on it, and offered to take our picture:

Like everything else, our desserts were yummy!

After dinner, we took the Friendship boat back to Future World and headed back to Pop. (We figured we will see Illuminations another day since we have a couple more dinners at the World Showcase this week.) All in all, we had a great day at Epcot!

Great analogy! I think we are taking a nap break today, so I will probably do a mid-day post.

The friendship boats depart from Canada and Mexico, going to either Morocco or Germany. It's a nice little ride, and helps if you have sore feet!

Thanks for reading!

Happy Anniversary!! I don't think I have commented yet, but I have been following along. We are staying at POP for the first time in December.

Thanks! We end up spending a lot of nights at World Showcase, though not every night. We still have several dining reservations there.

I always enjoy picking a pearl. I saw someone got a silver pearl today. I have only ever gotten a regular white one, but they are always pretty!

I have seen about those pearls. Looks very neat. How much do they cost approx.? Just curious

i'm pretty sure i saw a sign in her picture that said the pick a pearl was $15.95. i could be wrong though.

Loving the live report, it is excellent and I adore the pictures. We will be at Pop in 11 days!! and I have to say I am not a big Epcot fan but I have never seen the whole showcase but after your pictures I am so spending more time there and making my family see it all!!!! Can't wait for more or to leave to get there!!!

Happy Anniversary!

It was about $17 to pick a pearl, but the settings are extra. The setting I picked was fairly cheap--about $11. However, they have much more expensive ones too.

This price is right; with tax, it was closer to 17.

Thanks! Sounds like something we will definately check out!
What are the settings? Are they boxes for them or.... I am a wee bit confused. lol.
Loving your trip report (and am actually reading your other one simultaneously).

You definitely should! World Showcase is one of my favorite places. If you have younger kids that might be bored with just exploring and shopping, you should check out the Kidcot Fun Stops and Agent P’s World Showcase Adventure.

Congratulations on your anniversary.
Disney is a wonderful place to be for a celebration.
Epcot is a very romantic place.

The setting would be the actual jewelry you put it into. You can have them make earrings, pendants, bracelets, charms, etc. They have silver, gold, and white gold. They have settings as cheap as $10 and as expensive as $300; it all depends on what you want. You could also just take your pearl home and have a local jeweler set it or do something else with it. Glad to hear you are enjoying my reports!
