We're just back from a short 5-day trip. My husband had a Sales Conference at the Yacht Club for 3 days and we stayed an extra 2. Loved, loved that hotel. When we stayed at the BWI, we fell in love with that area. But on to the food --
Day 1 -- Lunch at Tusker House -- Was very disappointed. Remember it being so much better on previous trips. I had the chicken salad and really didn't care for it. DDs and DH had the chicken sandwich and said it was ok; however, one sandwich had to be returned because there was a hair in it! Service was kind of slow.
Dinner at Margaritaville -- know this is not Disney, but we love that place and rented a car just so we could go there one night. I had the coconut shrimp and it was delicious as were the Margaritas!
Day 2 -- Lunch at Rose and Crown -- Had the fish and chips and they were pretty good. Thought the fish was kind of greasy but, afterall, it is fried. Only negative was that we had to sit outside and it was extremely hot.
Dinner was at the Conference Center. Heavy buffet items that were pretty good.
Day 3 -- Lunch at Beaches and Cream while DH was at his conference. DD and I both had the Caesar Salad with chicken. It was excellent. Loved the dressing. Also had a hot fudge sundae. Couldn't resist.
Dinner at Shula's -- One of the companies my DH does a lot of business with took us there. I was really looking forward to it, but was a little disappointed. I normally get the small fillet when I go to steak houses, but somehow got talked into the New York Sirloin. Thought it was dry. DH thought the same about the Porterhouse he ordered. Both DDs had the fillet and that was very good. Wish I had gotten that. Glad we didn't have to pay for that meal.
Appetizers and sides were good, however.
Day 4 -- Lunch at Beaches and Cream again. This time DH and I had the roast beef sub and onion rings. Both were excellent.
Dinner at Alfredo's -- his company was putting on a dessert buffet at Epcot for Illuminations, so we decided to go light for dinner. We ordered some appetizers, salad and one entree -- sort of a sampler. Food was good, but we get really good Italian all the time, so it was nothing really special. I thought it was very overpriced for Italian food.
BTW, the dessert buffet was great. It was held in the patio between France and UK. They had bananas foster
, all kinds of ice cream novelties, cookies, desserts, etc. Great spot to see Illuminations!
Day 5 -- Father's Day -- we had breakfast at the Yacht Club Galley. Finally got to have my Mickey waffle which I love. Most mornings we just had breakfast in the room.
Dinner at the Brown Derby -- I've always wanted to go to this restaurant, but never made it. Was so glad we went this time. I had the grouper, which was excellent; DD and DH had the salmon and loved it (DH is extremely critical about restaurants, but loved this meal); and other DD asked for a cheeseburger and liked it as well. We had the Cobb salad for appetizer and the Grapefruit cake for dessert. I must say that this was one of the best meals I've had at WDW.
Now to get back on the diet!
