Day 5: Downtown Disney

After some relaxation it was off to DTD for the night. We had dinner reservations for Raglan Roads at 8:30pm but we headed down earlier to look around some more and catch some night life. We arrived at DTD around 6pm (i think!) and spent time browsing in the stores, trying on hats and getting a few drinks.

We both really enjoyed our time there, my favorite store being a tie between the Christmas Store and the World of Disney Store. Craig's favorite was by far the Lego store. We both thought the new Dinosaur Resturant (can't think of the name right now) looked pretty cool and we'd like to try it some time! We also bought each other a gift at the World of Disney, I bought Craig a small Buzz LightYear and a small Donald Duck stuffed animal. Craig got me a adorible Dumbo stuffed animal. Both were shipped back to the room, which was really great! We also picked out what we thought we were going to buy as presents for everyone back home, and we planned to pick them up on the last day (when we had DTD planned again)

There's not much more to say about DTD that I can think of really, so I'll let the pictures do the talking.

After lots of DTD fun we headed off to our 8:30 ressie at Raglan Roads.

Day 5 - Dinner at Raglan Roads

Raglan Roads was the meal that Craig himself picked out for us. Being the good ol english boy that he is he just LOVES pubs! So of course he wanted to check out Raglan Roads for some fried greasy yummyness and some ever so important BEER! I'm not a huge pub fan but after seeing the menu I agreed to try!

We started off with some drinks and some soda bread with some oil for dipping. Craig got a Guiness, which he said was very refreshing and quickly ordered some more.

I got a .. yup you guessed it! Malibu and Orange! Both were very good!

The bread and oil was pretty good. The oil was yummy but the bread was pretty dry.

While eating our bread and sippin on drinks we enjoyed some irish dancing followed by live music for the rest of our meal. They were both very entertaining and provided some nice background happenings.

For the main course Craig had the fish and chips.

He ate every last piece and gave it a 10/10. Coming from someone who pretty much HATES fish (except for fish and chips) This is a very high rating!

I ordered the Sheppards Pie.

It was just perfect! The mashed potatoes, the meat and the amazing gravy comined to give this dish a 10/10. If you go here, try this! You wont be disappointed.

For dessert Craig got the bread and butter pudding.

Another 10/10 for this one. I had never tried bread and butter pudding so I didnt want to order one but after trying this I really wished I had ordered it! It was delicious!

I ordered some sort of berry crumble.

It was ok. I didnt enjoy it that much, especially after tasting the amazing dessert Craig got. 5/10 for this one. I ended up just sharing Craigs dessert instead!

Bottom line is if you are planning a DTD night check this place out. Its a very nice lookin pub, the servers are great and the food is wonderful.

After the pub we wandered DTD some more and we had some more yummy drinks and then we caught a bus and headed back to POP to catch some zzz's.
