O.K., so when we left off we had gotten back from the Magic Kingdom late and just had time to jump in the shower and get ready for dinner and head back out. We got back to the bus stop by 5:30 in order to get to Epcot in time for our 6:25 LeCellier Reservation, couldnt miss this one!!! Lauren had bumped her head by walking around with her pirate telescope she bought with her money and running right into the wall so you will see her with a bandaid on her head in a couple photos this night. She hadnt napped this day but seemed great at the bus stop, I was worried the dinner at LeCellier would be ruined if she was fussy. Well, as we were sitting on the bus (Lauren ALWAYS sat on my lap on the bus, doesnt matter if a seat was available, she always ended up on my lap) and Lauren was on my lap as usual, and she went limp all of a sudden, I couldnt believe it, SHE WAS ASLEEP!!!
(nice bandaid huh, she wouldnt let me take it off!!!)
So I held our sleeping beauty all the way to Epcot, as I was carrying her off the bus the bus driver said Its too early for sleeping On the bright side I was thinking, well this sure will be a peaceful meal!!! We got the stroller and headed over to LeCellier. The night was BEAUTIFUL again (we sure did luck out weather wise this trip). Lauren didnt wake up at all during the stroller transfer. Here is a pic I can use to black mail her later in life:
As we checked in for dinner we enjoyed the gorgeous area around LeCellier.
Luke spotted Kanai and Koda (spelling ? ) from Brother Bear and he was EXCITED. So we ran and got in line for them. When we were in the middle of the line Tim motioned because our table was ready, I told him we werent getting out of line because Luke was SOOO excited and I knew hed be devastated if we got out of line at this point, we were so close. So we stayed for the bears and Tim and sleeping beauty headed inside the restaurant to get our table.
Here are our shots with the bears:
After this Luke and I headed inside to find Tim and Lauren. I was immediately taken back by the restaurant, it really was pretty, I was excited about the meal.
Tim and I decided to order drinks. He got the Happiest Celebration on Earth Glo-tini:
I got a nice glass of wine that they had paired with my steak on the menu (name escapes me now but it was tasty):
We took the glo-tini cube out of Tims drink and let Luke have some fun with it (blurry but you get the idea):
We enjoyed the breadsticks they brought to the table but our quick favorite was the yummy pretzel bread, OH MY GOSH they were soooooo good. Our waitress was great and said if we had a favorite to let her know and she would refill it with that, well needless to say we had a few pretzel refills, YUM! Luke was into them too:
We both ordered the potato soup, I had read from people on the Dis how awesome it was but recently the reviews seemed to be not so thrilled by it so I was curious, all I can say is Y-U-M!!!! This stuff is DELICIOUS!!! We both scrapped our bowls:
For main entrees Tim got the strip steak w/ Yukon potatoes, Tim absolutely LOVED his meal:
I got the mushroom filet this honestly was the best steak I had all week, probably ranks as one of the top 5 steaks Ive had in my lifetime, it was sooooooo good, I loved the mushroom rice it came with too, in fact Ive been craving it since we returned, I want to be back there now!!!! :
Luke ordered the kids steak, on the menu it said add 2.00 for the kids steak, but we were happily surprised to find out it came with the dining plan, no added charges, yeah! He picked fries with his steak:
Lauren continued to slumber as we ate (a REALLY peaceful meal):
We ate every bit and when it came to desert we were full but decided to make room. Here is Tims full to the brim look:
I tried to wake Lauren up at this point because Tim had gone ahead and ordered for her, we got her the soup because we knew shed love it and the pasta. I was able to get her halfway awake and then I took her to the bathroom and dried her eyes, etc. (she was a little weepy when she got up at first). Our waitress, who was just so sweet offered to warm her stuff up for her. So Lauren was eating her dinner as our deserts arrived. I had seen pics of the cool deserts here so we ordered the two coolest looking and decided to give them a try.
Campfire Smores:
These were so good. At first I was thinking how in the world can we eat this but give me a fork and Ill figure it out : ) !!!! The graham cracker and chocolate thingies were soooo good and then that is ice cream sandwiched in between, get a fork out and dive in if you order this it is OUT OF THIS WORLD!!!
Then I ordered this cute little guy:
This was pretty good too, the kids got a kick out of it, even got a little laugh out of sleepy Lauren.
This was one of the best meals of the trip (o.k. I now realize Ive said that about Kona and OHanas too, but this food was TOP NOTCH) I know understand why it is so hard to get a reservation here (I should really shut up Im making it harder, guess I should say it was gross huh?) we will return here next year FOR SURE!!! Maybe our anniversary dinner!?!
