Oh Canada! How I Love You So
When I left off we had just left Voyage of the Little Mermaid and at this point we were about to split up. The grandparents were going to take our kiddos and the hubs and I had a date planned at LeCellier. This was definitely on my bucket list but up until right before we left for our trip I did not even have this planned at all. I was browsing online looking at restaurants one day and came across a lunch ADR available for two people at 3:25pm. Odd time I know but its LeCellier people and at this point I hope that most of you are aware of my obsession with Canada. Plus I wanted to see what the hype was all about. And to top it off how many Disney vacations was this family going to have with built in babysitters? I'll tell you .one. So that is how I managed to plan for two lunches in one day. Good grief.
DH and I paused momentarily to capture ourselves kid less in Hollywood Studios.
With the kiddos headed with their grandparents back to the resort via Disney bus, the DH and I boarded at boat to Epcot at 2:30pm.
But not before pausing momentarily to capture us kid less in front of the Hollywood Studios Christmas tree .are you starting to see a trend here? Clearly we were excited to have some couple time lol.
We docked at the International gateway at 2:55pm. Disney transportation may be convenient but that does not mean it speedy lol. Meanwhile this left my husband's parents in charge of the kiddos. Do you know what grandparents let your kids do when the parents are away?
This. Yup. We are not in a habit of letting our children glue their eyes to devices but you know how grandparents like to let you kids do stuff they don't normally get away with so we let it slide.
Back to Epcot .we were a bit early for our ADR but we decided to check and see if they would allow us to get in a wee bit early. We checked in at 3:10 and were called to our table at 3:20. I love Canadians!
We were seated at a small two seater table however I do not remember what area we were in .sorry. But who cares because this was the closest I have come in my life, thus far, to Canada and I was beside myself with excitement. Since we had just ate not too long ago the plan was just to try a little of this and that and obviously I had done a little research beforehand and knew what I wanted to try.
But first I had to share these adorable little sugar cubes they brought to the table with our tea. Awww look how cute they are lol. Then DH and I had a moment where he tried to tell me to pack the sugar cubes in my bag to take with us and I told him I most certainly would not put sugar in any form into my bag because that was weird and what in the world would we do with sugar cubes. To which he replied he did not know but that they were cool looking and we could find something to do with them .at least show the kids or find a horse to give them to ..seriously. This went on and on for a bit and the entire conversation was done at a hush whisper because people are sat awfully close to one another here. It seemed like a scene out of a comedy for sure and yeah we dont get out much either lol. And FYI I am embarrassed to say that the sugar cubes did leave with us in the form of a baggie that was then put into my bag by DH ..seriously. Pick you battles people lol. Anyways now to the nom noms.
We start with the complimentary bread that is brought to one's table. It was a very good. And no the salted butter square DID NOT go in a baggie which then went into my bag. Let's keep it classy here folks after all.
The first thing I was dying to try was the Canadian Cheddar Cheese Soup. And yes it lived up to the hype. And yes I dunked my pretzel bread into the soup .obviously.
The next, and final thing we had to try was the Poutine Fries. Holy cow these were amazing! To which I have to ask my dear DIS friend Rob, do you eat these as a source of comfort food in your country? Because I like to think that if I ever moved to Canada that I would totally sit around the house on a lazy afternoon watching Anne of Green Gables while grubbing on some poutine fries in my jammies .my Disney jammies. Just sayin. So anyways we had planned on trying the maple crème brulee but alas the completion of two lunches left us more than past our limit for food so we left it at that. Overall I really enjoyed our experience here and would definitely eat here again if given the opportunity. With our bellies more that full we waddled our way out of the restaurant. It was now 4:00 but I was not quite ready yet to leave Canada.
