Boat Ride and Downtown Disney
I had a message when we got back to the room. I needed to go pick up my tickets for the 'Spirit of Aloha Show' from the concierge desk. I talked to Mark and he was a terrific concierge.
Off to Downtown Disney! We took the pontoon. This was a nice way to travel. It was rarely that packed. Very relaxing with the breeze. It stops at POFQ also. Total time to DTD - 15 minutes.
We found the crowds again. You would have thought that there was some major event happening! DTD was absolutely packed. I could not believe it. Doug and I had wanted to get some supper at the Earl of Sandwich. The line was at least a hour long. NUTS! It stayed that way the rest of the night. So we walked and window shopped for a little while hoping things would calm down. Uh, no such luck.
Here's some nighttime shots.
We finally settled for Wolfgang Puck Express for our eats. Even at 9:30PM, this place was still hoppin'. We asked them to bag it so we could eat it at POR.
The boat ride back ta POR was even better in the dark. I could've fallen asleep it was so peaceful.
Sorry, no pics of food from here. We were so hungry by the time we got back to the room, I guess my mind said 'faget aboud it!'
I got the BBQ beef melt on focaccia bread/pizza dough and a brownie with a diet Coke. In all fairness, my meal had cooled a bit. It probably was better hot. The BBQ was sweet and spicy. It was a huge thing that resembles a folded pizza. The brownie was the best brownie I had ever eaten.
Doug had a roast beef and cheddar thing like mine. He got a chocolate chip cookie and a Coke. He said it was OK. He thought the cookie sucked. He should have gotten the brownie. Lesson here, friends, Mr. Puck does great brownies!!??
This meal would have set us back $35.78. Even though we did not stay there to eat, a chef actually brought us our bag of food. I tipped him $3 which he gladly accepted. This is a counter service place but the wait staff still brings you your chow and drink refills. I would've left a tip if we stayed too.
Here's the menu.
I have to be honest, although it wasn't horrible, this was my least favorite CS of the entire stay.
Doug and me gives it -
I think I'd like to try breakfast there sometime. It looks pretty good!
Our biggest lesson from day 4 - Night time is the right time for the locals! Which makes sense but you just don't think about it until you see it.
Next: Day 5, Part 1 - Pinchy Winchy and Pixie Dust

Makes me wonder about his other dessert creations! All except the cookie. Thanks on the avatar.
