As you know we (well I) was really getting sucked into this movie on Lifetime. The movie was called Killing Mr. Griffin and it had a pretty impressive cast for a Lifetime movie (Scott Bairstow, Michelle Williams, Amy Jo Johnson, and Mario Lopez). It sounds corny but I swear it's worth watching!
Jeremy was bugging me to get ready so finally I pryed my way from the bed. After all there's only so much justification you can give to being a couch potato at Disney World!
I had only half an hour to get ready which for me isn't the most realistic situation but somehow I pulled through and we made our way back to EPCOT.
We were running a little behind so we made our way straight over to Le Cellier once entering the park. What a beautiful restaurant! I loved the theme. I loved the dim lights and the brown hues. Really, what a terrific restaurant, I can't say enough positive things!
There was a bit of a wait even with ADR's so the hostess was playing a trivia game about Canada. Jeremy got them all right (did I ever mention that he has the IQ of a genius?....seriously though) so the hostess finally shot him a look as if to say "shut it buckaroo". He grumbled but obliged. Poor hubby.
We were seated Probably after 15 minutes in the back of the restaurant in a little nook which was perfect for us. Very romantic
We had a wonderful waitress and couldn't have been happier. This was definitely the dining highlight of the trip.
By the way, the soda bread here really is as good as all the hype about it on the disboards! We ended up asking for seconds, and thirds!
I ordered the shrimp cocktail with wasabi sauce and the filet and Jeremy ordered the salmon tartare and another kind of filet. EVERYTHING was wonderful! (sorry no pics!). Dessert again was great. I had a blueberry cobbler and Jeremy had a wonderful chocolate cake. This restaurant is a must do for every trip we take from here on out. Honestly, I can't believe it doesn't count as 2 CS.
After dinner we wandered around World Showcase for awhile because they were having extra magic hours. Blah. What's the use of having extra magic hours if NOTHING is open? Seriosuly, nothing around all of World Showcase was open!! What a waste! Nothing about this screamed extra or magic to me. If anything it was under, staffed. We made it to Japan before deciding A) It was freezing and B) There was nothing here to do anyway.
We decided we weren't ready to go back to the hotel yet so we decided to see what was happening over at Pleasure Island, regardless of the fact that we had been walking in the parks all day and were still in sweat pants! Hey this isn't NY they won't throw us out!
We were close to the international gateway so we thought the easiest way to get to Pleasure Island would be to take the gateway to one of the resort hotels and from there to take a bus. This ended up taking a VERY long time and I would not suggest it under any circumstances.
We got off at the Boardwalk and went inside this hotel for the first time. I was very impressed, regardless of the fact that this is NOTHING like what the actual boardwalk looks like!
By the time we made it to Pleasure Island we were freezing and were in need of something bubbly
We wanted to go to the Comedy Club but after buying passes we just missed the show, so we ended up going to the Adventurer's Club for awhile. What an interesting place!
We wandered around exploring for awhile and then entered the show but there was a really big group of obnoxious young people that were unreal. I'm honestly suprised they weren't kicked out. I can't stand people like that. I used to work in a bar and that irks me beyond anything in this world. Loud drunks. Ugh...my god I like to drink but that's a whoooooooollllle different experience.
No flames here, but we honestly weren't...well I honestly wasn't really enjoying the humour of the show anyway so we ended up leaving, also because we definitely didn't want to miss the next (and last) showing at the Comedy Warehouse!
We made our way over and we were let in soon after. I really liked the interior of this place. We went to take a seat in the back but the CM Nazi screamed that we had to sit in the very front row. Ugh! I hate sitting in front row of comedy shows because inevitably you get sucked into the act. Sometimes I don't mind, i.e. when I don't look like I just rolled out of bed, but today I really didn't want to. No choice though, the CM Nazi watched us until we were seated and had our drink order. On a more positive note, they had cute little decorations everywhere making it very festive.
Before long the comediens came out and asked the audience to share funny stories that had happened to them on this trip. Jeremy wanted to volunteer his poisoning story but I begged with him not to. People were sharring some pretty wild things so a half hour and two drinks later I gave in. Jeremy told the whole story...upon hitting the punch line, the butt shot, Jeremy real proud of himself looked over his shoulder expecting to see roaring laughter filling the crowd. What he got back was a room full of shocked and horrified faces. Men covering their wives ears, children running and screaming. No one found this the least bit humourous, if anything they found it very sick. I could see it now, security guards being rushed to the scene
"sir come with us, we can find help for you"
"No, no I really don't need help"
"They all say that sir, dear god man we can find you a path to sanity!"
"NOOOOOOOOOOOO"
Poor Jeremy......we had absolutely dead air.
After that the show basically lost it's charm for us because Jeremy felt a little abashed. Poor guy. Dejected, we finally called it a night, took a taxi and fell straight to sleep.
Up Next: Finally going to MGM!
He just told me I had to put the smoking smilie on because it's putting pollution in the air, he is making a statement.
thanks again!
. I'm glad to know that there's others out there who appreciate this video too. We agree, the Garden Grill character interaction is wonderful, we love the booths also because it seperates you from the rest of the restaurant. Unlike other character dining where you can see all the characters so you just kind of watch them interact with others while waiting for them, instead of enjoying the company of the people you're with!

...can't believe it. Time flies when your having fun. 
If I had my time to do over I would have chosen WDW for my honeymoon...DH agrees. We didn't even consider it...we were .

I absolutely loved reading your TR all fall and am so psyched that you're back to finish it up! The Pirate and Princess Party was dead but thats what added to the magic for us. When we went to the Christmas Party it was packed so it made it very difficult to see/do anything/everything. Hopefully they'll have the party again next year, anticipating that it might take a year to build up the hype. Thanks so much, we're so excited for the wedding! It's so soon! Congrats on your anniversary!! Also, if I had kids I would probably stay at POFQ just because they have a really fun pool area, however I do think that POR is more romantic so it's a tough decision!
