Great review. Can't wait for the rest. Come lunch time Mike and Suzy went to their reservation at the Liberty Tree Inn;
The place was not jam-packed because if you take out a package of jam there is still enough room to stick a spoon in and scoop out the jam, but good luck trying to do that at the Liberty Tree Inn a day after New Years Day because there was not an millimeter to spare. Not to worry though, because Mike made reservations and had them confirmed in his handy print-out that he was given by concierge when they checked in, right?
Wrong. The lady up front explained that Mike did not in fact have a reservation. Mike pointed at his paper saying, No, really. He does have a reservation. But it was to no avail. The receptionist said that Mikes reservation had been canceled months ago. Mike asked why it showed up on his reservation list that he had been given two days ago. The lady said she didnt know, but that somebody must have made a mistake. Mike said that he was very sorry that someone in her company had made a mistake, but he had reservation for lunch and as it would be impossible to get new ones given how busy the park was, he intended to keep them. The lady said that she was sorry but there was no room. Mike said that as someone had made a mistake that was effecting him, she should make room. She said that wasnt possible and seemed to be hinting that Mike should just leave. Mike went into 2001 mode and kept saying, effectively, Im sorry Dave, I cant do that. over and over again to her various subtle and not-so-subtle hints to go away. Eventually the receptionist gave up and said shed find Mike and Suzy a table as soon as she could but that it would probably be a half hour to an hour. Mike said that would be fine and thanked her for her help (always be gracious in victory, it doesnt cost anything).
In about 35 minutes or so, Mike and Suzy were shown to their table and were greeted by a waitress decked in festive attire;
They were both pretty full from breakfast so Mike just had some chili and Suzy just had some clam chowder and they both split a pot of tea;
The clam chowder and chili was soup. Just regular soup. Nothing incredible, nothing bad, just average ordinary bowl of soup of the type you could find in any chain restaurant like Applebees or the Olive Garden or Newport Bay. It was however, hot, and I can not emphasize enough how important that was on this very cold day.
The tea was also hot, and Mike and Suzy got some cups to go to help them brave the harsh frigid tundra that central Florida had become;

Sorry to hear about the problems you had at the LTT, glad they got you a table eventually - as they should have done. That chilli looks good, I could do with some of that now to warm me up!

What a shame about the mix-up at LTT - it doesn't even sound like it was worth it in the end

AussieAngel thinks Mike and Suzy's food adventure is hilarious!! 
Some questions / comments...
* AussieAngel got married on 29th December 2007, as well!! Yay!! What a great day for a wedding!
* Is Mike a fan of Seinfeld? Because Mike reminds me of Jimmy, who liked to refer to himself in the third person as well. "Jimmy likes Elaine."
Funny stuff!!

Come nightfall they were ready to celebrate the three biggest contributions to world Civilization that Ireland has given the world, drinking, drinking, and the author can’t remember the third because the author got drunk.
It was time for Mike and Suzy to party at Raglan Road;
They placed was packed as usual:
Good thing that Mike had ADRs, but even with those there was still a wait so Mike and Suzy got another one of those handy buzzer devices and they looked around the Irish shop for a while. The change from looking at Disney junk that they didn’t need to looking at Irish junk they didn’t need was a fascinating experience, but eventually the buzzer went off and their server greeted them and showed them to their seats:
She was a nice gal and made some excellent suggestions. The seats were in a rather good location with a good view of the dance floor and an even better view of the upside down Christmas Tree which is apparently some type of Irish tradition;
Mike ordered the Scallop Forest appetizer, which is forks of scallops served with a lime dipping sauce. While it is not that many scallops it is fun to look at and very tasty. The scallops melt in the mouth;
Suzy got a side of creamed corn which she loved:
For the main course Mike got Keen Eye for the Shepherds Pie. Mike had never had Shepherds Pie before and while it was OK he is not sure if he’ll feel the need to order it again. Even with it’s modernized look, it still seemed a little plain for his tastes;
Suzy got It's Not Bleedin' Chowder; which is potatoes, mussels, prawns, scallops in a cream sauce – tasty but again not something they’ll order again;
They ended with the truly wonderful Ger's Bread & Butter Pudding. This was a fantastic desert that really made the meal;
The band, Tuskar Rock, was in great form that night and played a number of good old Irish songs as well as a couple of new ones. Mike got their CD and added it to his driving to work collection:
The band invented all the Newlyweds up to dance, and Mike and Suzy were very happy that it was a slow-ish number so they got to show off their waltzing moves that they learned for their wedding.
Raglan also had traditional Irish dancing:
and it was very fast and entertaining. Unfortunately Suzy had the bad luck to be in the bathroom each time the dancer came out for her short performance so she never saw it;
The mood of the pub was just really boisterous and excited (and filled with drunk people – I wonder if there could be a connection?). A cute little girl even got up and (seemingly spontaneously) did a little Irish dance which the crowd loved;
Raglan Road was a fantastic and fun dinning experience for Mike and Suzy. They considered going back during their trip but with all the other places to go to they just didn’t have time, but if it was in their home town they definitely would have been back by now.
