Day 16, August 29
Adventures Away, Take 2 - Part 4
Another couple joined us, and they sat down opposite us and we introduced ourselves and started some small talk.
Shortly after we were served our drinks. I had ordered the
Artist's Impression, Absolut Vanilla, Frangelico, Passion Fruit Purée and Orange Juice and Tom had ordered the
Renaissance, Vodka Raspberry, Triple Sec, Raspberry Purée, Lime Juice, Sparkling Wine. They also brought out some soft drinks for all of us and at that time the couple at the other end of the table left as they were feeling too sick for eating.
We had already snacked on some of the nice
Garlic and Herb Focaccia Bread before we were served our starters. Tom had the
Ahi Tuna Tartare, with Caviar, Chives, and Wasabi Cream, while I had ordered the
Wild Mushroom Risotto and Porcini Twist, served with Parmigiano-Reggiano and Black Truffle Oil.
Right before we were served our starters we decided that instead of sitting opposite each others it would be a much better idea and much easier to watch the show and transformation of the restaurant if Teresa and Mick, our new friends, sat next to us.
They changed seats and Teresa and we talked a lot while enjoying our starters. I felt the need to tell Teresa that I was taking food photos to post it on a website I frequent, and was surprised to hear that she was reading on a board too.
Wouldnt be the DISboards, Teri? Yes, thats it!! How exciting is that, to be seated at the same table as a fellow DISer!
Needless to say our conversations got much more Disneyfied then. All the time the dining room changed bit by bit and we finally were served our main courses.
Tom had ordered
Shere Khans Asian Marinated Beef Short Ribs, on Smashed Yucca topped with Wok-fried Bok Choy and Red Cabbage. My choice was
Lemon-Thyme Marinated Chicken Breast, on top of Sour Cream Mashed Potatoes, Roasted Root Vegetables, and Grain Mustard Jus, after it had been recommended by the server. While we were still munching on our mains the show and final transformation of the dining room took place.
Alex our new server was already quite concerned as we were already late in ordering dessert. Tom chose the
Chilled Lemon Soufflé with Raspberry Drizzle and I had the
Animator's Sweet Temptations, a Trio of
Strawberry Sable,
Cranberry and Orange Cheesecake, and
Double-Fudge Chocolate Cake. When we finally finished our desserts the restaurant was nearly empty, but Teri and I had talked about their next days excursion and we had let them know that we would not have dinner with them the next evening, as we had another reservation at Palo.
It was quite hard to get around the ship by that time as the sea had now gotten really rough. Tom and I walked back to our stateroom,
got out the Fish Extender gifts and started our first round of gift delivering. Since the group was smaller this time and we already knew our way around the ship we were done in about half an hour. We walked outside on the veranda, sat for a while watching the WONDER cutting through the waves, but we were both tired and went to bed shortly after.

Disney service is THE BEST!!!!!!!
