QOTD – While being seated at the Sci-Fi Dine-In – Me, “Where are the Restrooms?” Waiter, “Epcot.”

The Score Thus Far –
# Attractions We've Rode – 7
# Shows We've Seen – 3
# Parades We've Seen – 1
# Fireworks We've Seen – 1
# Changes To Our Original Plan – 7

Hopped on the bus to MGM Studios, and did as much as we could before lunch. For lunch we went to the Sci-Fi Dine-In, a place that doesn’t get a lot of positive reviews on these boards. But we thought otherwise – the food was excellent, the shakes heavenly. The atmosphere can not be beat – we had a back seat, and we enjoyed watching the funny clips. And the service was very attentive and quick. A nice place to have lunch!

After MGM, we headed back to OKW, changed, and walked from OKW to Fulton’s Crab House. Not a bad walk, but I wouldn’t do it at night (not enough lights on the trail), and it only took us about 30 minutes! Dinner at Fulton’s was great – I had the stone crab claws and they were excellent! We had another great window seat on the second deck, front of the boat looking across to the Disney Institute.

After dinner we went to Ghirardelli’s for some Café Mocha Decadence (yum!) and hot chocolate, then walked around Downtown Disney for a while before hoping on a bus back to OKW and calling it a night.

Three days down, seven more to go!

Being from Maryland, too--how do you rate the seafood at Fulton's compared to what we find here? Sometimes, I've found the crab cakes, etc in WDW disappointing compared to what I've found in MD. Thanks!

Good point - crab cakes at WDW do not mix! I had the stone crab claws, something unique to Florida. I would not get any seafood that is done better in Maryland than Florida!

And the claws I had were awesome! Very, very, very good!

I hope this doesn't open up a can of worms!

Your reports are great!! Glad to hear a positive review of Sci Fi. We're planning on going there for fries and shakes...What is Cafe Mocha Decadence? It sounds good...

We loved Sci-Fi, it's cute and watching those trailers were fun. We thought the food was pretty good. Don't know why they get such bad reviews.
