The Widow and the Spinster take a Holiday Trip to WDW - I'm Baaa-aaack! Our Night Out at the Fancy Schmancy Place 5/28

[Steppesister]

And I look back at this and it was so long ago!

It does seem like so long ago.

Well....perhaps you saw on the Book of Face.....

I did, I did!!!

Sounds interesting. I'm not sure I'll have that chance now, but that's OK.

Like.... huh? You're not going back to WDW?

I'm so far behind. I think yours is the only TR that I'm reading now, and you've probably finished it by now.

There's the new Africa one, should you be interested.

Not to mention I was having insomnia back then and couldn't sleep through the night to save my life.

I know exactly what that's like.

Well the Jingle Cruise had way too long a line, and I was pooped, so we just found a quiet place and we chatted some more.

Sometimes that's a very acceptable option.

Once we arrived at the Riviera, we found our way up to Topolino’s. We were seated almost as soon as we got there and we had a nice table by the window. It would be perfect for Epcot fireworks if we wanted to make it a 2 ½ hour dinner.

Oh, VERY nice!! I've done that at Mr. Paul's but that's easy to do there with the slow pace and impeccable service.

There was lemon curd In between the lady fingers and mascarpone.

Now that sounds heavenly!

As the pair approached the sliding doors to exit the lobby, the kid was struggling so violently that she whipped her head and knocked the sliding doors out of their track. The kid had to have received some sort of concussion from that.

Holy crap!

She parked and then we walked over the MK hoping to ride the Jingle Cruise.

I was really sad when I found out that they don't do this at DLR anymore we really wanted to ride it, D especially

Very clean and urban? looking!

Yayyy jetted tub!

We split an order of the Gnocchi with Braised Lamb Shoulder, Exotic Mushrooms, Lamb Jus, Kale, Carrots. It was so delicious! I am ruined for store bought gnocchi now! These were handmade daily and they were fluffy little pillows of goodness.

Many I love homemade gnocchi! I must say the Disney gnocchi I've had has been great!

Instead it was a traditional tiramisu with coffee flavors and a lemon creme on top. This was disappointing. We're expecting something more like this that I made when staying at my parent's house once. Or like Jenny's daughter Chloe made for my birthday last month. There was lemon curd In between the lady fingers and mascarpone.

That's super odd indeed, I would have also expected what you describe, not a traditional coffee base still!

Trying to get back in the game on this one, as I think I missed it for a while!
