We are off to eat and drink around the world :)....

[dgbg100106]

We sat out at Hurricane Hanna's to have a few drinks prior to dinner.

Pina CoLAVA $7.50
Bacardi Razz Rum blended with Pina Colada Mix and Raspberry Puree

Captain's Mai Tai $8.25
Captain Morgan Original Spiced Rum, Amaretto, and Pineapple Juice topped with a float of Myer's Original Dark Rum

Bourbon on the rocks...

We decided to wait in the bar until our reservation or when they called us.

I had a Martini and some Grand Marnier

So we get called to the table, let the fun begin....

They gave us menus that say Happy Anniversary on them. Which was nice.
We ordered drinks. I got a Superfruit Martini

David order a Black Cherry Twist

David and I both ordered Lobster Bisque - Maine Lobster, Herbs de Provence bescuit, and roe Chantilly $11.00

Bread Service

We ordered a bottle of vino for dinner.

David ordered the 24-oz Center Cut Porterhouse - Smoked Paprika Fries, and Roasted Garlic Butter $44.00

I ordered the 16-oz Boneless Rib-Eye - sweet potato beignets and Red Wine Butter $43.00

They brought this out to the table

We ordered Lemon Pudding Cake, Blueberry shake, Fruit Leather, and Candied Lemon $10.00

I must tell you that the dessert and the vino was the only thing good here. This had to be the worst meal I have EVER had at Disney World.

The steaks were tough, the wait staff was rude and oblivious. I will NEVER be back, there are too many good places to eat, to waste my time here again.

The waiter acted like he was too good to wait on us.

After this we retired to our resorts, it was pretty late by now, I think it took us about 3.5 hours to eat, mostly because it took so long for our food to come to the table.

Friday October 7th, 2011

so sad... we leave today...

We have eaten all of the groceries and packing up what is left. we have to drink all the beer.

Jim and Diana finish packing up and join us to finish off the beer, we hang around the resort waiting for the time they are leaving.

It is time for them to leave, so we store the bags in Bell services and head for Epoct.

We ride Test Track,

So by this time we have walked all around the park eaten a little and walked more...

So we head to the Yatch Club to look for my D&B purse...

We left there and waited for ME back to the airport.... Not as much fun now, that we are going back, I did not take any pictures...

La Cage Aux Follies

LA CAGE tells the story of Georges, the owner of a glitzy nightclub in lovely Saint-Tropez, and his partner Albin, who moonlights as the glamorous chanteuse Zaza. When Georges' son brings his fiancée's conservative parents home to meet the flashy pair, the bonds of family are put to the test as the feather boas fly! LA CAGE is a tuneful and touching tale of one family's struggle to stay together... stay fabulous... and above all else, stay true to themselves!

With a glorious score of hummable melodies and a dynamite cast featuring the "notorious and dangerous Cagelles," LA CAGE is an indisputable musical comedy classic... and this extraordinary new version shows you why!

I finally got all caught up! With the DIS being so slow and me being forced into hard labor, plus my phone wouldn't go past your dinner at the Flying Fish. Every time I would try to load that page below that post my IE browser would just quit!

That FF dinner looked fabulous! I'm going to add that to my list of things that we must do. Unfortunately it will probably have to be in 2013 since I've got all my 2012 trips already planned out!

I can't wait to show parts of this TR to Arline, Jiko and Sanaa both look so good (although I had seen the Sanaa photos earlier ). Sorry you didn't have a good dinner at Yachtsman, it was fabulous when we ate there in 2009.

All those dining events look fabulous! I know you've been cooped up for a month, but I hope at least looking back on these events makes you realize that you do get out quite a bit and have fun, those days will be back. You two look so cute together! It's obvious that you both love each other very much and are very happy!

I'm sorry Yachtsman was such a disappointment, especially at those prices.

Do you think your friends will join you again. I reread your first page and remembered they originally weren't going to go.

Since you brought up Edgewater, have you guys been to the Edgewater Restaurant? It's one of my favorites.

Wendy(wendypooh), Tracy (TyRy), Brandi (DgBg100106), Laura (RachelTori)
Second Row Ann, Robbie (Donald is #1), Elin (PNO4TE), and the rest I forgot, I am sorry

From Laura (RachelTori) The *Mystery 3* are good friends of mine: Lauren (who is not on the boards), Chris (from California - I don't remember her username), and Dagny ("Dagny" on the boards - she was a Moderator and DU TA for many years!)

Nice to put Disnames to faces.


Thanks for sharing all that food porn and I'm sorry about Yachtsman. I've not eaten there but I've only ever heard good things about the food. Pity you got such bad steak and service.
