The trip around the Rivers of America was a great relaxing time! I highly enjoyed it and think I definitely need to do it each trip!
It was now getting close to our dinner reservation at Cafe Orleans so we went to check in.
As we waited I caught sight of this in the window...
I thought it was cute!!
We were then seated very shortly.
I of course knew what I wanted to eat but I gave Kim a few minutes to peruse the menu.
We started with the Pomme Frites. I had wanted to try them after all the rave reviews on the DIS but knew I wouldn't be able to complete them myself so I was happy to have someone to share them with this time.
My review... tasty but I think they must make them in HUGE quantities as this batch seemed a little cool when they came out and also not as crisp as I would have expected. I love French Fries so I may try them again sometime but definitely not a must for me.
For her main course Kim ordered the N'awlins Vegetable Ragout with Blackened chicken....
I would give you her review.... but I am blank on what she thought of it! I will see is she remembers!
I would say it must have been decent though...
I of course had the Monte Cristo!
It was just as delicious as the first time I had it in December but I must not have been as hungry as I was not able to eat it all! (Either that or it was the Pomme Frites that kept me from eating it all!
)
Just when I thought I was done putting food in my mouth this was brought to the table...
A Birthday Beignet!!
Delightful! and Shared with Kim!
From dinner we were off to do something we had planned to do much earlier in the day!
We made our way out of Disneyland and over to California Adventure... to get a little wet.... Yup... it was FINALLY time for Grizzly River Rapids...
As we were walking there... my with my blinders on and not paying attention
to anything but our destination... Kim says to me... Is that the coach from GLEE? I was like... what?!? Where?!?! She said we just passed her she was walking the other direction. I said who? Sue Sylvester... she said no... the football coach... I was like I don't know I didn't see her. So we turn around and speedwalk back the way we came... As we get closer I said... I think it just might be?!?!?
As we get almost back to Sunshine Plaza area she stopped to talk to her family. I stopped to stealthily see if it was her so I pretended to take pictures of the surroundings...
And!
It was her!!!
My first star sighting!
If not for Kim I would never have even noticed!
And if not for Kim I wouldn't have actually met her! Kim went up to her and said.. "I apologize. I know you are with your family and I am sorry but I can't remember your name but are you from GLEE?!!"
And she said yes. My name is Dot Jones! And then Kim asked if she could et a picture.
And then she asked if I wanted a picture as well...
Well of course!
We said thank you and then headed back the way we were originally going...
Yes... it was cooling off and it was late but we had said we were going to ride it so we were!
I had hoped to be able to put our items into a locker but apparently everyone knows the secret of the lockers and we were stuck taking them with us on the ride. Thankfully though we did NOT get completely soaked! However we were then heading back to the room for a quick change of clothes as we were going to catch the Fireworks since the Park was again closing early again due to another Grad Night.
