So I left off searching for food for the girls.

Thankfully, it was close to this location. I don't know how long I could stay up there. I mean, I know Danielle is tall, but seriously, she like threw me up there! I was very nervous about her ability to get me down.

Thankfully there was glass between us. This turtle was huge!

I thought he was fake. He wasn't. He moved....I jumped...

We rode a few rides, and then it was time to leave. We hopped on the monorail....I pole danced.

That Pirate Mickey is awesome! I'm surprised that's out there like that... seems like it would get wet in the rain! It wasn't there when I went to Coral Reef. INTERESTING.

THANK GOODNESS the Disney cops didn't bust you.

That's so awesome! How often do you speak FLEMISH at Disney World? NOT very often.

I loved Coral Reef's amazing atmosphere but ehhhhhh the food, I could take it or leave it. Although this was almost 2 years ago, so maybe they've improved. Glad to hear yall really enjoyed it!

Yeti's got moves.

 

[PopArtGal]

Yep, Yeti has a drinking problem .... and a partying one too

I was completely surprised with Pirate Mickey too. I had never seen him before and I had the same thought about it too "what if it rains, what if someone steals him..." I wonder if they had just put him up there or something.

Could you imagine getting busted by the Disney cops? That would not be good. I know for a fact that I wouldn't be able to handle getting thrown out of WDW for life!

I was completely shocked about where our server was from! It's a small country, so you don't meet people from there very often.

I was happy we went to Coral Reef. I didn't love it the last time we had gone either, but I was glad I decided to give it another try.

Yep, Yeti has a drinking problem .... and a partying one too

Yes.....yes he does.

Me? I'm just a goober.

No you're not, but the guy next to you is!

Great update, again. Your meal looks absolutely amazing! It's been so long since I've eaten at Coral Reef, so I think its time to try it again! I can't believe you scored a seat right next to the tank. Awesome. But are you sure it was real?

 

[NikkiLovesWDW!]

Nikki, want to make a margarita?!

Yes!! Let's make LOTS!

Okay, maybe it's just because I don't eat seafood ever but wasn't it weird sitting RIGHT next to the fish tank and admiring the cute, adorable fish and then ordering and EATING seafood? Just seems kind of twisted to me!

Haha, I TOTALLY forgot about that guy! It now comes back to me that he filmed himself on the entire loop around Test Track acting like a dork! It was hysterical!

I now question what is real at WDW and what is not. Farrell has shaken my faith.

I was really surprised we got a seat by the tank, because I had asked the CM and she said that a request like that may take a while, and then BAM, we're walking in.

Yes!! Let's make LOTS!

Omg Nikki, I have always thought the same thing about Coral Reef! I kind of want to try it, but I'd feel awful if I ate any type of seafood in front of the cute little fishies!!

Great update Danielle, like I said, I always think about trying CR but always find a reason not to! Everything you guys had looks like it was so good! The chocolate dessert especially! And your server sounds awesome, that's so cool that you can speak Flemish!

Awww, that yeti is crazy, pole dancing on the monorail!

 

[Stringbean&Wingnut]

It's funny, DBF and I were literally just talking about Coral Reef, and how it's sort of meta...you're eating seafood. Surrounded by seafood.

Your meal looks great though! Glad that the turtle proved his real-ness to Farrell!

 

[teekathepony]

I wish I liked seafood. I ate at the Coral Reef in 2007 before they changed their menu and LOVED my chicken something meal... haha, ate there again in 2008 after the change and did NOT like my food Boo. It's so beautiful in there.

We hopped on the monorail....I pole danced.

^^ LMAO

I honestly have never thought about it that way, honestly. Must make me a weirdo.

The chocolate wave is so good. Like, we all know I'm a dessert lover, and this is reason enough for me to choose to go to a restaurant. It's warm lava cake with raspberries and raspberry sorbet. It was so good!

It is true. Think about if they did that with other kinds of entrees....

I was waiting for the turtle to move. Like, on pins and needles.

Oh, I'm sorry that you don't like it. They do have other items on the menu now that are not seafood, but I haven't had the dishes, so I can't comment on them.

Now that you have an awesome pole dancing mascot ..... you need some theme music. You know for when you enter the park. A different tune for just walking around. Like that.

My DD was once running around the house humming some dramatic music. I asked her what she was singing and she said it was her "theme music". She's hilarious.

Theme music....I never thought about that. I mean, I have theme music always going on in my head, but never thought to hum it.

Your DD is awesome!

 

[Merida]

Oh wow! I've never seen that Pirate Mickey before (never saw Coral Reef either until one fateful night where we got lost in Epcot ). Is that always there? Or is it like Rapunzel's tower and only there when I'm not?

Coral Reef looks very nice. I've read some so-so to terrible reviews of it so I decided against it. And then I remembered that neither of us are foodies and would actually probably very much like Coral Reef! I miss eating seafood since moving out to Colorado - Farrell's mahi mahi looks so good.

Oh Flemish. I love how like half of it is so close to German and then the other half goes completely over my head! Who came up with a phrase like 'ik ook'? Not Germans. The words are too short!!

I continue to defy all sorts of commando touring advice and absolutely LOVE EMHs at Magic Kingdom. MK at night is just way too magical to give up because other people will be there too.

I have no idea if the Pirate Mickey is always there. I'd never seen him before this trip.

The reviews on Coral Reef are so so. I love food, but I'm also not a terribly picky person either, so I am fairly easy to please. The mahi mahi was really awesome though.

Flemish is close to German, but it is a Dutch dialect, so it would make sense that there are similarities. Technically, it is Dutch, but they speak it slightly differently. 'Ik ook' is like a slangish term. I love that term though. My mom always said it to me when I would tell her that I loved her.

I love EMH at MK! Especially at night. For sure it's my favorite time to go.

 

[katt789]

Yay! I've always wondered about coral reef, but I'm just not big enough of a fish fan...and there's always SO MUCH to eat in Epcot, I'm just never sure what to go with! But it does all look awesome!!

You're right, there really is an obscene amount of food in Epcot that sometimes it makes it hard to decide where you're going to eat. I always have to watch myself, because my favorite restaurants are in Epcot and we could find ourselves going there every night if we're not careful.

 

[TinksThree]

How cool about your waiter! I have Coral Reef on my list for the next trip if I can fit it in. We went in 2009 and the food was pretty good and the Chocolate Wave...yummo! But then I freak over anything chocolate! But we were underwhelmed also mostly due to a very dry and non-personable waiter! I have decided I want to go back now!

Love how you had to explain the FP situation. We seem to run into the ride being down during our FP return time. I wonder how the new FP rules will work for the many breakdowns that occur!

Yeti segment: I know he had to be glad there was a nice thick piece of glass between him and that turtle! One chomp is all it would have took! And I hope no small children observed the pole dancing!! Still loving the Yeti's reports!!!

 

[TanzUnited99]

Love the pose of yeti outside Coral Reef...don't think I saw that either. Lol love the conversation you had in your head about what you would say if a CM saw you

Yay on having the best seats and your waiter sounds like a hoot! Food looks great as well.
