Chapter 44. Wednesday, February 6th. Day 7. Part 8. Spoodles and the rest of the night. Jordan and Kim's night.
So when we last left you. I was sprawled out in the Drawing Room at the BCV.
Kim and I did the quick change (although I think I snuck in some Stacy and Weather Channel while Kim was getting ready) and made our way to the Boardwalk and Spoodles.
The were doing some renovation of the exterior of Spoodle which was kind of a bummer, but hey, we're eating inside...
We saw a couple who had just gotten married walking down the Boardwalk:
Here's the entrance to Spoodles:
We checked in and had about a 5 minute wait:
We got seated and were right next to this huge support column...but we were right next to the open kitchen which was really cool.
Here's Kim:
Here's me. Say hello again to my double chin:
They bring you some bread and dipping sauce right off the bat, but we also ordered a Meditteranean dip plate as well...great presentation.
I had the steak kebabs:
Kim had the rigatoni:
We were stuffed, but of course on the
DDP you get dessert. We just got one:
The cheesecake was the BEST we've ever tasted....light...slightly nutty...
We had a great meal. REVIEW: Steak Kebabs: excellent, but you have to like a different flavor spicing. Rigatoni w/ sausage: excellent. Cheesecake: the best. Service: okay. Our server had a party of 20 and they were kind of demanding. Kim and I both said it was our favorite meal so far.
After dinner we wanted to head over to World Showcase. On our way over, Kim discovered her pass was in the room. So we head over to the BCV and then into Epcot. It was about 8pm and we decided to see O Canada. I like the updated version, but also miss the old outdated one too.
We got out of the show at 8:40pm and Kim really wanted to see Illuminations. You know me and fireworks and/or parades....but what the heck, it's not like we were going to doing anything else (my drink/drinks at ESPN could wait...
)
We actually got a good viewing spot right near Canada along the waterfront.
I only took one picture...well...I actually took several, but none of them came out so I deleted them..Here's one of the "better" ones:
After Illuminations we went to ESPN. My buddy Matt was working so we were well taken care of. Kim had a Diet Coke and rum? One is her limit (remember that). After her one, I escorted her back to the room; hung out for a few minutes and then went back to ESPN for my alone time.
I paced myself a bit better tonight....After ESPN closed, I went to the Atlantic Dance Hall for one more drink and I just hung out on the Boardwalk for another hour.
No drunks tonight. Well, actually there were alot of drunks. None of them happened to see the sign above my head saying "talk to me" tonight. So I was in solitude.
I was able to reflect on one week spent at WDW. I couldn't believe a week had already passed. I WAS happy, however, that I was only half way through my vacation.
I, as always, tried to get some night time pix of the Boardwalk/Yacht and Beach Club. They came out pretty good so I think I was pretty sober...
I think you can make out Spaceship Earth in this one:
I strolled back to the room at about 2am...
Next up: Wendy and Derek and Erin and Dylan's night. After that update: A trip summary of the first 7 days
