After our Breakfast with Mickey, our room was ready at BLT. When we checked in they told us our room was one of the testing rooms for the new RFID system but the bracelets were being tweaked. UGH WHY EVEN TELL ME THEN!!!
Seriously, such a tease! Our room was awesome and our Lake view was great. I requested a pool view and got it 
Love it! So relaxing to see the lake and hear people playing at the pool. We could see the Electrical Water Pageant at night too!
We spent the day at the pool, unpacking, and napping. Kermit had requested to hang out at the Boardwalk one night so a non-park day seemed to be a good choice. We both like Greek food, so we decided to give Kouzzina a try.
We walked over to MK and took a bus to the Boardwalk. We arrived at 5:30pm for our 6:15pm reservation. We spent some time strolling along enjoying the scenery.
And Robin chased some birds...
I was hoping the Boardwalk Bakery would be open from the rennovations, but no such luck
Oh well, I needed to save room for dinner anyway!
We walked over to check in early about 6pm and were seated immediately. Our table was in a corner which gave us a good view of the open kitchen.
Every once in a while we saw big flames and heard OPA! Robin loved to join in
Our server was great, she was very attentive and patient with all of Robin's antics
We all just had water to drink this time, which she brought over quickly along with the Bread, olive oil tasting, and olives
The bread was foccacia slices and was great for soaking up the oil. I remember our server really going into detail about the oils, then I tasted them and couldn't tell the difference
Oh well I guess my palate isn't as sophisticated as I thought hehehe
We all fought over the olives, even Robin! But his favorite part was the bread. Not because it tasted good, but because it was a good consistency to make a "bread house" as he demonstrated...
I grew up in Chicago, and Kermit went to school there (how we met awwwwwwww) and we have some seriously amazing authentic Greek food there. Our favorite appetizer is Skordalia, a dip made from whipped potatoes (I know it sounds weird but trust me), garlic (TONS), and lemon. We were hoping they had it here but no such luck
We went with our 2nd favorite Greek Appetizer, Saganaki! How can you go wrong with flaming cheese???
Seared Haloumi Cheese with Lemon and Oregano
Yum Yum Yum I love the seared outside that gives the cheese a yummy little crust. And the ooey gooey inside? Delish! The only thing that was lacking in this was the bread. It was too crispy for my taste, crispy all the way through. I would have liked the inside to be chewy. I had already eaten so much bread so I just ate the cheese straight up and was happy

Kermit tried it though and ate it up. I think anything in a burger form he will eat 
Holy Moly the pain is almost as bad as labor but you never know when its coming or when its going to end. THIS SUCKS! 
We ate there in 2011, and your pictures are making me want to go back. But we are committed to trying Flying Fish (along with about a bazillion other places) this year.
