Monday 3rd October

We sleep in late this morning and can’t seem to get going very fast.
It’s decided that we will have an early lunch at pop before heading to Epcot. We eventually arrive at epcot at 12.30pm and head for soarin to get a fastpass. I am amazed to see that the standby time is 90 minutes! There is no way I would attempt to wait that long with two young children.
We then do honey I shrunk the audience and journey into imagination with figment (the kids really enjoyed figment) we look into the image works as well but can’t really be bothered to do it justice.
After missing out the world showcase last time we head there next
We have a photo taken with Aladdin and Jasmine

As we wander slowly through the different countries, we watch the American adventure show in the USA (I found this interesting but ds obviously didn’t because he promptly fell asleep ) we head for Norway and Mexico and ride Maelstrom and El Rio Del Tiempo.
Its time to ride soarin again but disappointingly we are seated in row three, it’s still a good ride though and the detail is fantastic.
We also see the lion king show more for the chance to have a sit down than anything else.

I decide to see what the queues are like for test track but they are too long so we wander over to epcot for our ADR, I am looking at the menu board when a lady walks past and tells me they are full I have to admit I felt a bit smug when I told her we had an ADR

We went to see the o Canada show but didn’t have enough time before we got seated at Le Cellier.

This turns out to be a great meal, I had to try the cheese soup and it was lovely my only disappointment was (for the 1st time in Florida) the portion could have been bigger
Dh had the tomato stack appetizer, he enjoyed it but I wouldn’t have liked it.
For entrée I had the filet and DH had the mushroom filet. The desserts were very yummy as well. We decided this was one of our top two meals along with Wolfgang’s.
We caught the bus straight back to pop after we had eaten as we were pretty tired.


Animal kingdom and Concourse steakhouse tomorrow

Lovely report again Nat - sounds like you didn't have an awful lot of energy though. For some reason, you never put on your reports what the kids had - is that because you can't remember or because they had chicken nuggets for every meal

 

[wicket2005]

Lovely report Nat.

 

[mandymouse]

Another great day Nat, Le Cellier sounds lovely, I'll have to try it one day

Sounds a lovely day - could do with that filet now! Oh OK, could just do with someone cooking something for me for a change!

Have to agree with you Nat ~ The cheese soup portion In Le Cellier was very small. We got it at the Food and Wine Festival and the serving was much bigger.

Another great report with lovely piccies.

 

[Cyrano]

Great installment. Le Cellier sounds delicious
