Something we will have to remember, got used to going back when we want.

Glad you liked Sanaa (we never got directions, maybe we said we knew where it was) it was one of our favourite meals last year, when we asked relatives which restaurants they wanted to go back to this year Sanaa was the 1st on their list.

If the net connection is slow I can se me doing my live report without photos next month.
I think this was the tandoori chicken and the trio dessert (without a substitute)

is sanaa just 1 TS credit? the restaurant looks nice and the food yummy!

Yes, 1 credit.
Some people complain about the food but I think they go with the wrong expectations, its not a curry house. We took the food from menu without any requests, just the right amount of spices for us all, if you like really spicey food then tell the server, the chef will add.

Our CM friends said we wouldn't enjoy it, we put it off 2 visits but glad we went last year. I believe they tweaked the menu, maybe it wasn't as good when they first opened.

We have booked Sanaa too! Very similar ADR choices to Reid I am the type who would pull on a poncho and march around the parks in the rain - I've done it enough times in this country! Hope the rain has now eased off for you all.

we liked the food in boma, so i would think we would like the food in sanaa....

however, boma was insanely crowded....i'm guessing that sanaa isn't as big as boma...

i think i'm going to suggest it to DD and DSIL for their trip in august...
they need some non-park ADRs, for when their APs expire...
i already have T-Rex, GF Cafe and Whispering Canyon Cafe - they need one more....DD didn't like the Irish one in DTD last time she went...so maybe Sanaa....there's also that one in the Contemporary, the wave, but i haven't heard many good reports on that one...

Sanaa is a fusion of African/Indian but not as spicy as we are used to. However as Wayne says the food is lovely. The lamb was so tender that even the confirmed chicken eaters muscled in on Jack and my lamb
The sauces are all on the side so those that have pickey eaters or unsure of the spice can enjoy the meat seperately.

We've booked Sanaa for the first time in October (DD is keen to go as she has a friend called Sana - think we we all enjoy the view and hopefully the food aswell)

Hope internet improves - I look forward to your daily food pics each lunchtime at work Wayne!

Wednesday 27 June

Up at 7am this morning. Rain was on most of the morning. EMH for Animal Kingdom came and went!
As the sky started to look less grey we decided to drive to Magic Kingdom.
It was still raining as we arrived at TTC around 9.00 but we figured at least we would not be stuck waiting for rope drop.
By 10 the sun had started to shine. Big Thunder was down but we managed to get in quite a few rides.
We all queued for Merida... Disney's first Scottish Princess meant we had to
After much debate we settled for our usual choice of Cosmic Ray's for lunch. Sadly the chicken and rib combo is no longer available.

We left the park later in the afternoon and replenished supplies at Walmart.
Diane volunteered to put the food away while the troops and I had an hour or so at the pool.

Our ADR tonight was for Rainforest Cafe so we took the ferry boat to DTD.
The meal was better than expected though it was an hour until we saw food. Server was not particularly attentive and made a big deal about making sure I was aware that tips were not included in the dining plan. She got the tip she deserved

We were stuffed after sharing 4 entrees between the 5 of us so took the desserts to go.

Meant to say beforehand. We have watched Illuminations from our balcony every night.
It really is the best way to finish the evening .... a glass of wine, iPod with Illuminations and fireworks in the sky

 

[fairytale]

Weather is uspposed to pick up nicely for you from later today.

Glorious sunshine is forecast for the rest of the week

Thank you for the updates

who's Merida? (with no wee ones around the house anymore, it seems my princess knowledge is in need of updating!!)

the only time i eat at the rainforest is when i'm with someone who wants to and can't be talked out of it!
i was going to say i've never had good service there, but then i remembered one time that we had a fantastic server - but that was in detroit....unfortunately, the food was as unexciting as always..
i wonder if t-rex is any better since from what i understand, it's owned by the same company..

glad to hear you're finally getting some sun!!!!!

New Disney fim, not out til August here, Karen wants to see it as soon as we get to Florida next month, Matt and I have still to decide if we are going with her.

T-rex was not fantastic last year, I had to send my burger back, almost cold when I got it after a long wait. Trying it again this year, also trying RFC at AK.

oh - that's the "brave" i've heard my kids mentioning...
it hasn't reached here yet either i don't think...(otherwise for sure DD and DS would have dragged us there - they may be 27 and 25, but they never miss a disney flick - animated or otherwise)...

I have an ADR for DD at t-rex....i'm sure they'll just order burgers...i hope they have better luck than you.....i imagine for DSIL the dinosaurs will make up for the cold burger (once a boy, always a boy)..

i think i've heard that the RFC at AK is better than the one at DTD... but i still haven't tried it - now that there's yak and yeti, that's my TS of choice at AK!!

Can't believe I nearly missed out on a live report! All caught up now. Hopefully the weather is improving and Debby is on her way out of there.

This is really special - when you get home I bet you won't quite believe that you were able to see the fireworks each night
