3 Big Kids do Disney...but only for the DINING!!

[engle]

Well, not really....we're just 3 adults that have been to WDW many times. We planned only one park day and the rest....well, REST!! But, we did manage to make the following ADR's that I will be reviewing as we go with pictures!! So here's what is coming up in the next week!! I still can't believe V&A isn't on this list (the first time in 5 trips!!) but DH says we can go to WDW without doing V&A at least once in our life!!!

Sunday....Dinner at Narcoosee's (3 other friends will also be joining us!!)
Monday....Breakfast at Boma, Dinner at Spoodles
Tuesday...Gardenview Tea
Wednesday...Lunch at Sci Fi, Dinner at Kona
Thursday...dinner at Sanaa
Friday...dinner at Artist Point
Saturday...lunch at Fulton's

The regular cast of character's is me (41): LOVE food and recently lost 17 lbs so I will be WATCHING what I eat but this IS vacation. DH (36): workout maniac and LOVES food too...and where does he put all of this food? One will never know! And finally, Our Friend Brad (28): strangely picky but loves to eat! We will be joined by some friends for the first night dinner and one of them is a 17 year old girls so it will be interesting to get a teen's opinion as well!!

So, I hope this is good and I hope I give you something to read about!!

Can't wait! Especially anxious to hear about your experience at Narcoosees. DH and I plan to eat there for the first time in Sept. I hear the view is spectacular! Have fun!

Congrats on the weight loss! I lost a significant amount before my last trip and was kinda worried about gaining but I ended up losing a pound and that was eating anything I wanted, it's vacation!!!

Can't wait for the reviews!

I lost 30 pounds before our last trip and gained back 3 and I was a reckless eater! I lost it within a week though! Well I actually didn't do too bad. I scaled back on the main carb portions of meals (potatoes, fries, rice) but I snacked a LOT!

OKAY!! HERE WE GO!!!!

We had lunch on day one at T-Rex. We had a 1:15 ressie and showed up at 1:30. We were seated immediately. We ordered the nachos which we LOVED!! Lots of black beans...Brad hated that but DH and I loved it. We got several drinks...a theme on this vacation! And after the huge nachos only had room to share a sandwich...we got the Paleazoic Chicken. We didn't too much care for it....the bread was hard, not stale just overcooked and the chicken was more like a salad. But the service was good and the atmsphere was fun..

That last pic was the sandwich and here are the nachos!!!

We arrived at 6:45 at Narcoossee's for a 7:15ADR...we had a drink at the bar and didn't even finish it before we were seated.

We had the cheese plate...loved it!! and the crab cakes (just okay).

Of the 6 in our party, 4 had the filet and all proclaimed it wonderful as were the potato accompaniament. I had the whole main lobster and it was great...couldn't finish it or the potatoes. DH had the scallops. The risotto and sauce were excellent but the scallops were overcooked unfortunately.

We all loved the bread and the butter with it.

For dessert, I had the gelato sampler...yummy and 2 others had the creme brulee. They liked it but didn't love it.

The service was EXCELLENT (thanks Allen!) and the chef very accomodating to the fact that one in our party was allergic to nuts. We watched the electrical water pageant and Wishes from the patio...very nice.

All in all, we would return to Narcoosee's. I wouldn't say the food was better than CG but the service and atmosphere was...I liked watching Wishes from here better.

How available was the patio viewing area? I was wondering if those sitting inside at window tables got upset with others standing outside and blocking their view. You thoughts? We have 8:45 ressies on 9/3 (Wishes at 10:00). Thanks!
