Did you all hear that noise???? My stomach is rumbling really loud at the sights of your delish food pictures.
All caught up. Your reviews are so great. I have laughed out loud a couple of times and I am alone in my office. People think I am going crazy
. Can't wait for more fun!!
that's a good thing, a good titter to yourself works wonders for office morale
We loved it
I wish I was there now. But sadly my DD doesn't beleive in wishes anymore 
. she said whilst in WDW;DD7 : I dont beleive in making a wish anymore!
Me: oh sweetie why not?
DD7 ; ( picture crossed arms and a scowl - ) well... I'm not a fluffy dog am I?
, you can't really argue with that logic can you irongirlof12

dinner at Narcoossee's
We had an adr for 7:40pm and arrived on time. waiting area is ok but nothing to write home about. we were seated around our alloted time. This place was a lot darker tahn i had imagined. How can a room with windows on all sides be dark? - ok it was night time but even so. I expected light and airy.
we asked our server to choose our wine from our requirements and it was really a good choice. Bon climat chardonnay. $53.00
blimey, we don't normally splash out on top notch wine. Maybe DH was going to propose
We decided to go for apps: OOP, as it was a nice place to dine and didn't want to be rushed out. ('off you go you free DDP freeloaders; shoo shoo' !)
The Bread and the sea salt butter - very yummy.
I had Artisan Cheeses - Humboldt Fog, Cashel Irish Blue, and Tete De Moine $15. yummy cheese!
DH had Fried Rhode Island Calamari - pepperoncini relish, tomato coulis, and extra virgin olive oil $12. He woofed it down.
Megan had : Narcoossee's Shrimp and Crab Chowder - Dill creme fraiche and house made crackers $9. this is the one to pick. we all tried it. OMG and i don't even like this type of stuff.
DD7 had - er. nothing, she was happy coloring in.

Thanks!
I am just an old softy at heart
CG looks yummyWe are thinking about having our wedding dinner there. So you say the noise isn't too loud, but noticeable?
We were quite close to the main dining area and the kitchen so it may be quiter away from that area. It wasn't overly loud.We could talk normally and be heard.

Entrees:
I decided to go for the special, which was fresh cod caught that day. I don't really like fish all that much and I think I just picked the wrong thing as it wasn't quite right. The cod was cooked well, the sauce was very rich and herby. i just didn't enjoy it all that much.
DH and DD12 decided to try the surf and turf as they were keen to try the lobster. They liked it but said they wouldn't have it again. We are not much of a seafood family.
Amelia had chicken tenders ( i stole her green beans as i love 'em)
Desserts:
DH had the Almonds crusted chessecake
I had the chocolate cake - this was a bit on the dry side.
Megan had strawberry shortcake.
Sorry about the quality of the piccies, my camera is not fab when it's dark.
Review:
Lighting level: 6/10 - I thought it was really dark in here. I do like to see what i am eating!
Noise level : 8/10 - one of the more quiet places, just the noise of other diners talking .
Ambience: 8/10 - really nice feel to this place, good view of bay lake and the water pagent. relaxing and not rushed during our meal. proper linen napkins in a deep blue. good quality tables and chairs.
service: 7/10 - our server was HARVEY. efficient enough, attended to our requirements well.
Food quality: 7/10 - I didn't enjoy this as much as Calli Grill, but I am not a big fan of seafood/fish. I loved the apps and dessert was good.
Dine again? : I don't think so, we enjoyed it a lot but I think we would try Citrico's instead. If you like fish you'll love it here.

Breakfast was cakes in the room as we had quite a stash from quick service meals.
Lunch was at Yak & Yeti quick service counter and i don't have the receipt.but we used our quick service credits. this made a nice change, the only annoying thang was the amount of ducks that kept pestering us for food. amelia was a bit scared of them
Kids chicken nuggets
kids portion of rice
kids cookie
honey chicken
sweet & sour pork
mandarin chicken salad
Choc cake
cookie
frozen lemonade

Great review and a bonus the great pictures. Keep it up. I have to ask though, the day you went to Cinderella's castle for late breakfast you had a picture of little brown squares in a cup? What are they and where can I get them? They look so good. Keep the reviews coming
opps, so sorry I missed your question
- they are Edy's dibs crunch , little bits of ice-cream in chocolate crunchy coating. $3.75 or 1 snack credit. we got these at an ice-cream cart in Adventureland MK. irongirlof12

The food at Yak and Yeti looks tasty...I might have to give it a try next year. We really enjoyed Flame Tree on this trip, the view of Everest while you're eating is amazing! I highly recommend it!
Looking forward to the rest of your posts...

Yummy, I love the Honey Chicken and your pic looks so good
It was really delish, with veggies and rice that you can't see in the piccie.
We had to walk past flame tree on our way to yak and yeti and man it smelled good, we have eaten there before; I was so tempted! Yak and yeti was a nice change and we didn't have enough table service credits to try the restaurant - maybe next tripThe food at Yak and Yeti looks tasty...I might have to give it a try next year.

Ice-cream - the girls had an ice-cream from this place. It is the most amazing ice-cream van I have ever seen. 
We have ice-cream vans in u.k. that drive around estates - ours plays ' greensleeves' - if you don't know what that is - it's a very old peice of traditional english music that no-one listens too ..but we all know
The girls had a vanilla and chocolate swirl in a waffle cone.
It was 'yeti' size so i finished off Amelia's. very creamy, sugary and tasted...GOOD
