DTD, Raglan Road and Ridermakerz
So feeling quite content... thanks to a wonderful morning at AK (plus a little extra contentment brought on by the Mojitto

) we made it back to the Villas where David encountered his friend Ariel...
Oh David... methinks you have a crush...
Eric took him back to the pool... while I took a wander around the Villas...
Before we knew it, it was time to head off to dinner at Raglan Road... A place I've been dying to try for a while now... so I was really dying of curiousity...
Unfortunately the wait for the bus to come was a bit long (probably the longest of our stay) & We made it just in time...
Summary of Raglan Road... Awesome atmosphere... Great food...eh server... (I was covetously eyeing our table neighbors charming and accommodating server... I felt like I was breaking a Commandment... Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's superior Restaurant Server...) But we had a really good meal and Raglan Road is a delightful place... with a really beautiful bar that was brought over from Ireland... (We had hard cider on tap... really awesome treat because it isn't that easy to get...)
we shared
the Scallop Forrest
the Shepard's Pie/ & a Chicken Pie and
the very and much talked about Ger's Bread and Butter pudding...
this was so good absolute heaven... but so filling (it's one of those things you think about later and think you'd like to have some of the rest you had to leave behind....

...
I'd like to see them offer a dessert sampler... with the B&Butter Pudding and some lighter options... (there was a lemon curd & meringue concoction I had been contemplating as well...)
WE would definitely go back...we did get to see a little Irish Dancing and I'd like to go back for more entertainment... I love Irish Music...
Waddled off... and made our way over and towards the Marketplace...
Where there were a couple must do stores...
Did not do goofy's Candy company this time
but the
Lego Store is a sort of shrine/attraction to us...
Disney Store... I was thinking about this book (of course)
I still Have my Basin Soap with the Mickey ear profiles -I don't want to use it...

cause then it will be gone...
I bought a Snow White tee I loved in Tren-d (I'll show more of it in the next update... Magic Kingdom Day...)
It's so awesome a shirt... I'm glowing...
Next door, Our ultimate destination...the piece de resistance... Ridemakerz...
Some of you ... especially if you have a son... may know all about this...
You get to make your own Remote Control Car...Which is very cool...
What is not cool... is just like buying a real car, you almost never buy the base car... you ALWAYS wind up with better seat covers or a better radio, automatic transmission, etc...
This was going to just be David's big souvenir but it actually wound up be part of his Christmas gifts, because we had to subsidize the cost differential...
But it really was a fun experience for him (& Eric) putting it together....
