So we headed back to take a break before dinner. We just loved haning out in our villa. It was really the first trip we spent time enjoying our accomodations. I have to say its because of the convience of the location, otherwise I think we would be running around if we were at Saratoga or Animal Kindom Villas. We haven't tried the Comtemporary but I don't like the fact part of your view is the parking lots. It just turns me off a bit.

Dinner was at 5pm (early) so we could make Fantasmic at 8pm. So we headed out and walked from our place over the the Yatch Club
a few shots from our walk. The skies looked dark!
This was our first time trying the Captains Grill. We were really looking forward to it. I head nothing but good reviews and that fact its not too popular so its easy to get reservations.
I love mussles so I got the New England Lager-braised Mussels appetizer but I ate it before I remembered to take pictures but it was delicous. Phil got the clam chowder and enjoyed it as well. It was ok for me. Since I grew up in Cape May by the beach, I have had much better chowder before but it wasn't bad. Again, we forgot to take a picture.
We actually remembered at dinner. We both ordered the Grilled Pork Chop - with Sautéed Fingerling Potatoes, Apples, and Bacon. It was excellent! I need to figure out how to make this for the fall with apples and potatoes. I don't usually order porkchops out and it wasn't your typical ones you get in the grocery store. It was very tastey although a little confusing when eating the apples and potatoes because they looked the same. You got a nice surprise at time because you think you are eating a potato but then its an apple.
I didn't get dessert but Phils came with one because he got the 3 course dinner so I ate his!
I think the were profiteroles filled with chocolate mouse. Very good but not being a dessert person I probably would order these.

So we failed to taking pictures on our first sitdown dinner but I can tell you I remembered for the rest of the week. We loved the Captains Grill and would definitly go back again next time. The table next too us go steaks and they looked good as well.
After dinner we walked out and it was just finishing up raining. Perfect! So we went back to the room for a break and then we decided we were going to skip Fantasmic. It was our only chance to see it tht week but we have been before so it wasn't that big of a deal. So we just hung out the rest of the night and waited for our friends to get to our place se we could all go to Jellyrolls. It was a nice relaxing day.
My friend Kerrie and her husband was at Fantasmic, and my other friend Laura lives in Orlando and was meeting at our place. They are fellow dis members and we all met because of our weddings. I was meeting Laura for the first time. She came early and we hung out and watch Illuminations from our balcony waiting for the others to get there. We had a great time talking. About 9:30 Kerrie arrived and we headed to Jellyrolls. Its always a fun place and get better the later you stay. We had a few drinks and then called it a night. Sorry I didn't bring my camera to Jellyrolls.
Day2 complete: Up next Day 3- DHS- lunch at Sci Fi and dinner at Cape May Cafe.
