Something Wicked this MAY Comes! 18 nights @ RPR & SFR. An April/May 2025 TR

[disneyseniors]

We headed inside and one of the women who has worked here in probably forever has an elephant like memory and she did look at us for a second or two and said....Scotland!!! Yes ma`am, that`s us, amazing memory for a lady who sees hundreds of people a week but as she said, they don`t get too many Scottish people here.

We got a table inside and I popped to the bathroom and Tom ordered us water and two cokes, it was too hot for a cocktail today. I knew we wouldn`t take long ordering as we more or less knew what we wanted, but it`s just nice sitting in the cool while we perused the menu.

​

One of their best known dishes was one one of the first things we ordered, Hush Puppies, these little bundles of delight were amazing and the ones from here are among the best we have ever tasted!!

However today, we had to admit they weren`t the usual high standard, a little overdone, maybe a little too crispy but the inside was still lovely and they had given us a double order, so we made a good effort to finish them but we did need the dipping sauces to help them along. ​

They used to give you a kind of herbed butter that was a little spicy alongside the cocktail and tartare sauces, but it wasn`t on the tray today.

​

I was so hungry today but, once I`d had a couple of those little angel dumplings, I felt fine ​

Lunch was an easy choice today, Tom opted for the crab cake sandwich with fries, which are very nice as far as fries go.
​

I am the most boring person on the planet at times, if I like a dish, I order it till the cows come home and the crab stuffed flounder here is beautiful. Although technically I wouldn`t describe it as stuffed exactly as the flounder is more placed on top of the crab stuffing, but I`m being pedantic here as it is beautiful. I went with no fries today as the Hush Puppies were incredibly filling. ​

Tom`s crab cake was very nice, not as nice as it usually is because it had a little more filler than usual, last time it was all crab, however he still enjoyed it, my flounder was perfect and it was a lovely meal, we were glad we had come back here today.

We paid the check and the waitress asked if we had seen any wildlife today, we told her what we had seen and she was amazed we had seen a gator, I said yes, it was clear as day and two fisheman spotted it too. She reiterated you very rarely see one of those nasty suckers around, but I`m surprised they don`t see more of them to be honest!!

We got back in the car, it was just too hot to wander anywhere today, we drove to ABC Wines and picked up a little something for one of our SA friends, it was his 40th birthday today and we dropped it off on the way home, had a quick soda and we were happy to hear the Death Eaters were coming back this year to HHN. Even though we weren`t doing them any more, I still hoped it would be a fabulous event after it being so bad last few years.

We got back home and had a half an hour snooze, well more of a resting of the eyes for a little time, well, that`s our excuse and we`ll stick to it

Sometimes a little 20 minute power nap does us well

We headed over to the Club Lounge and tonight we did make room for a little taster of one of the nicest dishes they served up here, Lo Mein and Teriyaki Chicken, it is lovely!!

Especially with some added Tabasco Sauce!!
​

I wished we were a little more hungry tonight to enjoy a little more chicken and noodles, but the bowl we had was more than enough, we did however enjoy a few glasses of some fizzy and we really enjoyed those!!

The ladies working made sure our glass wasn`t empty for long, they look after everyone so well in the lounge. It is such a relaxing time up here and we always enjoy sitting chilling with a glass of something nice enjoying chatting with other folks or just enjoying each others company. ​

Tonight was fun, there was a nice crowd in and we got chatting to some lovely people tonight, but we weren`t hanging around as we wanted to go back into the Studios and get us some Jaws memorabilia!!!

OMGosh, you managed to hit all my favorite boxes this time I absolutely love hush puppies. They made the best hush puppies in Tennessee, along with catfish. I know, I know, you are probably making sick sounds to the catfish. I agree, but these are fresh water farm raised and taste delicious along with the hush puppies. That's one thing I really miss by living up North. Somehow Lefsa doesn't cut it for us

Crab cakes are the only seafood I can eat, and I love a fresh well made crab cake sandwich.
Everything on your platters look wonderful.

lol.....I avoided Hush Puppies for years, having not the first clue what they were, and never got around to asking for some reason!!

I did try Catfish once, it didn`t appeal to me and I didn`t eat it but maybe it was where I had it, but crab cakes.....a good crab cake is hard to miss out on.

Funny you mention Lefsa, I was ok with it, we tried it in Norway years ago and it was at breakfast, again it was ok. In Scotland we have a thing called a potato scone or more commonly called a "Tattie scone" up there....very unhealthy as you have to fry them with breakfast, but oh my goodness they are delicious!! They aren`t the same elsewhere in the UK where they call them potato cakes, but when we go back to Scotland tattie scones are one of the items we crave!! Some folks also have them with just some butter on them and they are quite nice that way too weirdly.

Not the best breakfast picture but the first one I came across from one of our hotel breakfast pics up there.....there are so many more items to choose from but this was what Tom ordered one morning. The tattie scones here are lovely!

Now I want a tattie scone!!! ​
