What a great weekend to get away! The weather was very nice, a bit cool at night but sunny and 71 in the day time. Stayed at the Swan for the first time and loved it! THE location to be at IMHO.
DAY 1
We arrived at 7:30 on 2/8 and headed over to Epcot for a bite to eat. Tangerine Cafe where DH ordered the rotisserie chicken, saffron rice and a side of marinated olive salad. The chicken was amazing as was the olive salad but the rice was very bland, no taste at all.
I headed to Germany for a braut with kraut and a pretzel (which DH and I shared). The braut was so good, the bun was super soft and delicious. The pretzel was hot and buttery.
We took a stroll to Norway and shared a school bread and some coffee. The school bread custard was delicious as always but the bun and the coconut was a bit stale though so we did not finish it and DH was still hungry so he got a lefse...gross. This is the worst thing we have every tried.
DAY 2
We woke up early and walked to Cape May Buffet at the Beach Club. We arrived at 7:45 am and were seated right then and there. There was only 4 other tables eating so we had the place to ourselves. By the time we left at 8:30 am the place was getting packed so my advice is to go right when they open. This is the best breakfast buffet we have ever been to! There is a yogurt bar with the most amazing raspberries, strawberries and blueberries (they were the size of nickels!), granola, almonds, bananas, some type of nut bread and chocolate chips. Great stuff! There was bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs, sausage gravy with biscuits, potatoes with onions and peppers, Mickey waffles, grits and oatmeal, croissants, chocolate croissants, bread pudding, bagels, all kinds of muffins, cinnimon buns etc. There was watermelon, cantalope, honeydew, pineapple, oranges and blood red grapefruit, all was amazing. Our server brought us coffee, OJ and Grapefruit juice and we never had to ask for refills, he was right on top of things. Not one negative thing to say about this breakfast, it was out of this world and worth every penny. We saw Minnie, Chip and Dale and Goofy. They had crayons and paper on the table and the characters came around many times to "play a game" with us.
We head over to MGM and were one of the first people in the place. It was a very slow day there and everything was walk on, no waiting. Around noon we head over to the Commissary and shared a veggie lo mein. It was very bland but the veggies are cooked perfect so we picked at it a bit. We then go back to Epcot and shared egg rolls from China, hop over to France and shared a chocolate/hazelnut whipped mousse dessert...wow was this ever good and very light too.
Back to the room for a break and then to DTD for shopping and dinner at WPE. I had the pesto chicken salad (fantastic but too much food) with herb fries and DH had the caesar salad with a 4 cheese pizza. Very good stuff at this place.
NEXT UP: CP for breakfast and our new best place to go to for dinner!
