Our plan for Wednesday was to take it easy & explore Downtown Disney, do Characters in Flight and eat dinner at Narcoossees at the Grand Floridian. Not much on the schedule, just a whatever kind of day.
But Mics throat had started hurting on Tuesday, and by Wednesday morning he was full on sick with a cold. So he decided to stay in bed all day and do nothing but sleep & watch tv.
I couldnt sleep, so I walked over to the food court & got myself the All Star Breakfast Platter ($8.29) with eggs, bacon & breakfast potatoes. I didnt want the French toast, so they gave me extra potatoes instead. Since you dont get a desert with breakfast on the dining plan, I got an apple juice ($2.29) & a bottled ice tea ($2.29) for Mic. I also filled up my mug with coke.
I didnt get Mic anything since he was asleep and is never hungry first thing.
I took it all to go and trekked back to the room to eat. Everything was very good, although I didnt eat the eggs. Just wasnt into eggs that day.
Just as I was finishing, Mic wakes up & says hes hungry. Seriously? Our room was far enough from the food court that I was a little ticked off. I gave him my leftover eggs, and that held him over for about an hour.
Then, back to Intermission Food Court for his lunch, a double cheeseburger and fries ($7.59) another bottled ice tea (seriously, he drinks this stuff like its going out of style) and a side of fries for me ($1.99). They just looked so good, and they were!
Total cost of both meals & snack $28.73

Dinner reservations were for 8:00 at Narcoosees. I had planned it for this time so we could see the fireworks from the Magic Kingdom. I was so excited for this dinner, but Mic wasnt feeling like doing anything.
The only reason I got him to go was because my good friend &
travel agent texted me & told me our credit card would be charged if we didnt make the reservation. He agreed to go after I told him this. (Yeah!)
(She then texted me again to tell me she was mistaken, no charge if we missed it. Mic had already agreed to go, no need to update him!)
We took the bus to MK and had plenty of time so we hopped on the boat to the Grand Floridian. We made our way in to Narcoossees and waited about 15 minutes to be seated.
We both ordered the Surf and Turf ($58.00). This dish comes with twin medallions of filet & a lobster tail accompanied by mashed potatoes, green beans & a choron sauce. (I cant remember if It came naturally with the mashed or if we both asked to substitute).
The plan was for Mic to get all the filet & me to get both the lobster tails. I ended up getting one of the three filet medallions. It was excellent. The lobster was good, but not fantastic. (Good enough to eat all of it!) Mic loved his entrée.
The fireworks started just before desert, so we made our way out on the side deck to watch them. I was a little surprised to see that almost the entire restaurant came outside.
I dont know if this is normal, but the electrical light parade just happened to make its way out onto the water directly underneath the fireworks. It was like a bonus light show. Neither of us had seen this parade before and we loved it.
Back inside for desert, Mic ordered the Gelato Sampler.
There were four types of gelato featured: Cappuchino, Watermelon, Chocolate & Pistachio. I think it normally comes with raspberry, but they were out & substituted the watermelon. (yuck. Thats all Ill say.) I tried a taste of all but the watermelon. It made me want gelato. But I had my yummy desert
I got the Ozark Apple Pecan Cake with vanilla bean whipped cream, caramelized apples & poached cranberries.
Very good. The apples were a little bit of an odd texture, but this was a very light desert, and with all the chocolate Id been having, perfect timing.
I have to say, I love it when the servers offer to take a picture for you. I always feel as if I am bothering them when I ask them, so I usually don't. It's just that extra bit of customer service when they offer.
Out on the balcony:
Overall opinion of Narcoossees:
Wonderful. Great service, beautiful atmosphere and the food was good. Id like to try something different next time, maybe the whole Maine Lobster everyone seems to rave about. (Ive never ordered a whole lobster before, so I was hesitant to do so).
Even though Mic wasnt feeling too good, he had a good time and was really glad to have caught the light show.
I highly recommend planning your reservation time to catch the fireworks, it made this a fantastic experience.
