Back in the room, our parents were out on the balcony. Critter city!
We had to tear ourselves away to get ready for dinner. We had 7:10 ressies, but I wanted to get there a little early to request a window table. My parents had never seen Wishes, so I wanted them to get a good view. My sister drove us over, so we didn't bring the wheelchair. After arriving, we slowly made our way to the back to the elevators. Taking pics was a good excuse to stop frequently!
We headed upstairs and it was packed!!! I made my way across the room to check in, and there was a line! I waited about ten minutes, then I gave my name to the guy and ressies time. He couldn't find it!!! I was floored! I did not have the ADR # with me, so he told me I had to talk to someone else. I waited another few minutes, and this guy looked and told me that it didn't exist! I told him IPO made the ressie, and he said, "Who?" I mumbled nevermind, figuring he would have to DIS to understand. Then I started reading the screen upside down; sure enough, I found my name! So the guy wrote out the slip, and told me that if I wanted a window table, it would be an hour. Quick conference, decided that wouldn't work, so we would take whatever was available. He told me it was my lucky day and a table would be ready in 5 minutes. Then he said I didn't need a buzzer, just wait in the area. My parents had scored a few chairs near the bar area, so I went to wait. I anxiously watched the area. After five minutes, I wasn't called and the guy was gone! I went up to see how much longer (read: you didn't lose me again!), so the gal gave me a buzzer. Another ten minutes, and it was finally time!
A guy who abviously eats here a lot!
The hostess grabbed out bread here (two, please!):
The pit where our delish dinner was flaming:
The yummy bread!
I have to get that recipe!
I ordered a Pina Colava, and it was fab! The salsd is in the background; it had the most delicious dressing:
Everything followed quickly. Chicken wings and wontons (I didn't get a full pic of those, but they were tasty!):
Then the veggie and noodles came out (you can see the tip of the wontons):
Then the meats came around. There was turkey, beef, pork, and peel-your-own shrimp. It was sooooooo good! I don't have any pics to share as I was so busy eating! Then it was time for Wishes. We were actually only a few tables back from the windows, so we didn't have a perfect view, but we had a good view. My parents loved it! They were so impressed with the way Disney did it. I just love that show!
I forgot to mention that they have entertainment. It was so cute to see the kids enjoying themselves here. The woman was so perky! A boy of about 7 or 8 a few tables from us was collecting the leis from everyone at his table. He was so thrilled to be almost smothered in leis!
Finally stuffed with dinner, it was time for dessert:
WOW!!!!!! This is incredible!!! The sauce in the little pitcher was a bananas foster, with little slices of bananas. And the ice cream was sooo creamy! What a fantastic ending to the meal!
After leaving the restaurant, we decided to check out their gift shop.
We saw lots of kids posing for pictures sitting on this drum:
This guy was in the gift shop:
These were outside the Wyland Studio:
Then it was time to head back and pack as tomorrow was our last day.
Good-bye to the Poly:
Next: Sunrise Safari
These were soooooo creamy and delicious! Dad had an oatmeal raisin cookie, and he enjoyed that.
It's so hard to decide when there are so many great resorts! But Disney always works magic, so there are great restaurants you can go to to get a resort fix! Stay where you want, then make Boma ressies to get your AKL fix!
