We started this morning at Epcot. Kyle ran to get fast passes for Soarin and I walked around Mouse Gears. I just love these scares!
I was very tempted to buy this one but didnt.
When Kyle found me he was relieved to see that I didnt spend any money. We decided to head over to Test Track. We hopped in the standby line and realized we were at a stand-still. After waiting 10 minutes we moved maybe 5 feet. Behind us were a group of 12 year old boys who kept jumping on and off the railings. One was eating a baggie of Cherrios and spilling it on the ground. After another 5 minutes and maybe 10 more feet, the boys left the line mentioning something about jumping in the single rider line. About a minute later an announcement was made that something was down. The funny thing was, it wasnt a very professional announcement. The CM said something like As you can tell, you arent moving. Very strange. We left through those exit doors that are near the entrance and tried to figure out what next. We ended up going to check out the Sum of all Thrills and quickly realized we would not be doing that. We decided to do that Waste Management thing.
Our team name was The Dominators! It was the best I could come up with, I felt pressured to come up with something quick.
As you can see, our team name fit!
It was fun, but I probably wouldnt do it again unless we had other people with us.
We had a lunch ADR at Coral Reef, but still had sometime to kill. We purchased a couple of snacks and waited.
There was a squirrel hanging around the bench that Kyle kept pretending to talk to. The squirrel seriously tried to come at me from the back of the bench and I blamed Kyle for provoking him.
A short while later we decided to head in and check in. The restaurant had just opened and the waiting room was full. We waited patiently but the older couple next to me sure didnt. They were mad that they were seated immediately. The wife made the husband go to the front desk to see why they werent being seated. The host advised they just opened and everyone would be seated shortly. She continued to complain as other people who had checked in after her were seated before they were.
After only waiting maybe 10 minutes we were seated (before the older couple). We didnt get a table in front of the tank. I was disappointed, but didnt want to bug anyone to get a better table. As soon as we sat down, the couple from the lobby were seated near us, but guess what? The wife complained and they were moved to a table against the tank. Oh well.
My pictures turned out horrible, but here goes.
We ordered a couple of cokes and the Appetizer for two - Crab cakes with tropical fruit salad and Tequila Aioli. Crispy fried shrimp with jicama slaw and spiced remoulade and a taste of our creamy Lobster Soup.
Very good! Wish it was more soup though.
For my entrée I ordered Seared Rainbow Trout - With warm salad of white beans, Arugula, tomatoes,Crispy bacon, aged Balsamic vinegar and brown butter.
Yummy! Is all I can say.
Kyle ordered salmon, but the description on the menu doesnt match what he got. He said it was just OK.
I would go back, but Kyle wasnt impressed.
It was our fast pass time for Soarin so we headed that way. Even though we had fast passes, we still waited 20 minutes. I cannot lie, I chickened out again. Kyle enjoyed his ride though. One of these days I will ride it. I just really hate heights and the fact that my feet will be dangling, no thanks. At least not at this time.
We headed back to WL for a little bit of rest because we were heading to MK that night.
