Bryan and I had agreed to some pool time, and on this day Bryan and I took turns swimming with Maddie and soaking our very tired feet in the hot tub.
Sometimes that feels like the best part of the day!
As you get off the elevator, the bar will be about 20 feet in front of you on the left. The restaurant spreads out around the bar and the far wall is comprised entirely of windows. We were seated on the coveted right side of the room, but I cant believe that theres a bad view in the house. From our table, I was looking directly across the Seven Seas Lagoon at the Grand Floridian (and the sun setting behind it), and Maddie was staring straight at her beloved castle. Poor Bryan was stuck looking at me.
Sounds like a great spot! And I'm sure Bryan wasn't too upset.
When ordering wed consulted our server because I simply couldnt decide between the featured fish entrée and the filet mignon. The server (who was entirely professional and knowledgeable) simply said The filet has been voted best in Florida for the last 5 years.*
*by members of the California Grill staff.
We enjoyed watching the gorgeous sunset as we waited, and as it began to get dark Maddie became enchanted with the view. We asked for a booster seat so that she could see the lights of the castle change a little more ease.
Incredible view! Looks like dinner is worth it just for that!
It was simply breathtaking. I would love to end a lovely meal by seeing Wishes from that location some day.
Sounds like I need to look into trying this place.
When the driver played the princess announcement as Maddie entered, the all SHRIEKED at the top of their lungs and looked around frantically to see what princess would be joining them for a trip to CBR. Maddie was the one who finally had to point out to them that SHE was the princess.
As we made the longish trip back to CBR, the teens began to sing along with one of the young men whod begun to play the ukulele (why oh why would anyone bring a ukulele to the Magic Kingdom?).
Seriously. Everyone knows the ukulele is for Aulani, and that you bring your accordion to Florida.
