Some Haunted Mansion decor. I think that is a paper towel holder. A wine stopper. Salt and pepper shakers and a blanket.

This was a cute ornament.

This was a large plastic light up display of the Hitchhiking ghosts. This photo does not give you a good perspective as to how big this is.

It would have to be displayed inside as it is powered by batteries. I guess it would be a nice addition to a Haunted Mansion display indoors.

There was the photo station for pictures that was set up for Halloween pictures.
IMG_6792.jpeg

I wanted to save the best for last in the line of stores I love walking through and looking at all the pretty crystal and glass displays in Arribas Brothers.

This Rapunsel and Maximus crystal display was new.
IMG_6770.jpeg

I had never seen all these Star Wars figures before.

Not sure how well it shows, but this Headless Horseman blown glass sculpture waas awesome.
IMG_6797.jpeg

This was a nice idea for kids.
IMG_6798.jpeg
 
If you area a Hitchhiking Ghost fan they had some limited addition glasses.
IMG_6799.jpeg

The glass blown Star Wars characters were cool.
IMG_6800.jpeg

IMG_6801.jpeg

Of course the Crystal Castle masterpiece is worthy of a picture every time.
IMG_6802.jpeg

After we were done in Arribas our we went to do some more exploring.

I had never noticed this kiosk before.
IMG_6803.jpeg

Then it was on to the Christmas Store.
IMG_6804.jpeg

IMG_6805.jpeg

When you leave the Christmas Store out the side door there is a nice Halloween photo op on the outside of the building.
IMG_6806.jpeg
 
I really like walking through The Art of Disney Store.
IMG_6807.jpeg

This was a cute Nightmare Before Christmas print. I was tempted to buy this for my niece. It is probably a good thing I did not drive down as I would have had tons of space to fill up with gifts in my SUV,

Up next was a stroll through Goofy’s Candy Company.

We always like walking around and looking at all the Halloween desserts.

It was time to think about lunch. There was only one place we were thinking about and it was the BoatHouse. It was Saturday and I knew it would be busy and it was.

I stopped at the outside reservation desk and was told it would be about a 20 minute wait. She asked if I wanted inside of outside. We wanted inside it was hot out and who wants to sweat while you are trying to enjoy a good meal.
IMG_6834.jpeg

While we were waiting we walked just a short distance to look in the Ganachery. There was a line to get in and we have been in the Ganachery many times. So it was not a big deal.
IMG_6835.jpeg

Also the line for Gideons was really long. We usually pop in there, but with the line backed up and around the corner we gave it a pass, but I did take a photo of what I call is the constipated Gargoyle on top of Gideons……..LOL
IMG_6836.jpeg

It was just about 10 minutes later when I received a text that our table was ready. I walked back to the BoatHouse and when I checked in the lady said they had only had outdoor seating. I reminded her when I had just walked up 10 minutes ago that we specifically requested indoor seating.

She then told me they did not have any indoor seating at this time. I told her it was to hot to eat outdoors and I would look for somewhere else to eat.

She then told me to go to the hostess inside and she would take care of the seating situation.

The hostess then said she could seat us inside. She took me to the middle dining room past the boat. It was busy inside. But there were tables available.

Let’s talk about the elephant in the room. I don’t know about the possible disconnect with the indoor dining room availability and the outdoor reservation person, but only when I was ready to walk away from eating here do to no indoor seating was the outdoor reservation person willing to cave and send me to the indoor hostess for a table indoors.

My interaction with the outdoor reservation lady was cordial so no issue there. Let’s just say the whole interaction and dishonesty left me with a bad taste in my mouth. I have eaten here a few times and never had this happen before.

My sister was looking in a store and I texted her and let her know where are table was and she was arrived in no time.

They delivered some ice water and some rolls that had a drizzle of some kind of light frosting on them. They tasted like a dessert roll and were very good.

Are waiter arrived and took our drink orders.

We ordered some of the large shrimp. The picture does not do it justice. The shrimp were huge and I’am glad we did not order more.

IMG_6837.jpeg

We ordered the wedge salad and the waiter said it is massive so we decided to share this and I was so glad we did as it was almost a whole half head of lettuce.
IMG_6838.jpeg

My sister K ordered a Bloody Mary and she said it was very good. It was topped with olives, lime wedge, pepperoncini and gulp another big shrimp.

I ordered a Coke Zero.
IMG_6839.jpeg


We both ordered the New York strip and fries and we both asked for a medium rare steak. I asked for no garlic gloves on my steak as the last time I was here they put a lot on the steak.

So when my steak arrived there were garlic cloves on it. I just took them off.

I have ordered this same meal many times before and the steak is cook to perfection and is tender.

This time my steak was overcooked and tough. I ask my sister how her steak was and she said it was good. So I did not want to send my meal back as it would take time to get another meal and she would be done when my new meal arrived.

My fries were good.

Our waiter was nice, but he seemed to be distracted and lagged significantly in making sure our drinks were refilled and dishes were taken away in a timely manner. I had ro flag him to refill my drink and it took him forever to return.

I chocked it up to the fact that is was a Saturday and they were busy.

This was not the best experience that I had come to expect of a meal at the BoatHouse.

So I think in the future I need to think about another place to lunch at Disney Springs. This could have been a one off, but over all not the same experience I had come to expect of the BoatHouse.
IMG_6840.jpeg


After lunch my sister said she had saw some of the BoatHouse Duck sippers and we looked for those and found them.

IMG_6841.jpeg

The ducks in the amphicars were cute.
IMG_6842.jpeg
 
After we were done at the BoatHouse we walked across to Joffery’s Coffee

IMG_6843.jpeg

They have a nice selection of coffee. The Hocus Pocus coffee is really good.
IMG_6844.jpeg

IMG_6845.jpeg

We did a little walking around and my sister wanted to go to Jack Lindsey’s Hanger Bar. She had seen the bar was decorated for Halloween online and there were Halloween inspired food and drinks.
IMG_6874.jpeg

A little information on Jock Lindsey’s.

There was a wait to get into the bar. It was nice that they had large unbrellas in the line to shade you from the sun.

I think it was about a 25 minute wait in line to get in. We watched a few people try and talk the outdoor person at the desk into letting them in ahead of the line and it did not work. They were told to get in line to enter.

IMG_6847.jpeg

The Halloween decortations were very reminiscent of the old decorations from the 50’s and 60’s.
IMG_6848.jpeg


IMG_6849.jpeg


There is indoor and outdoor seating available. You were asked when you walked up to the desk if you wanted indoor or outdoor seating. We chose indoor do to the heat.
