Saturday September 11th, Part 3.
To recap our day so far, we had a wonderful morning at Magic Kingdom hitting tons of attractions all before 11AM. Then we had a nice swim at the pool, topped off with a wee little nap.
We had made these dining reservations a couple of days earlier. While we were swimming I told Marc I would be okay with going to this establishment as long as we took a cab. The thought of doing the bus shuffle to this establishment was not high on my fun list.
He agreed, so we prettied ourselves up and headed to....
(I cheated, I took this as we left but the first Boardwalk picture wasn't enough.)
See? I told you.
Our cab ride was uneventful, I believe it cost about $16 from Riverside to Boardwalk. I was so excited to explore Boardwalk since Jen & I have the January trip planned.
My exploring helped me to decide that Jen & I made the right choice for January. I am so very excited to be staying in the Boardwalk atmosphere. Right before I met Marc my mom & I were planning a Disney trip and we wanted to stay at Boardwalk so we did a lot of research the trip never happened because I became too busy with moving to MA and such but I'm so excited we are staying there in January!! Yayayayaya! Jen, can you feel my excitement?
Before too long we headed to the boardwalk. It's really simple but this picture here just makes me happy.
This sounds really simple but I never put together that the boardwalk would be wooden! Stupid of me, really but I was so excited that it was wooden. It's the simple things in life. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
So have you figured out where we were dining yet?
FLYING FISH!
Like I said in the last post, it was my favorite evening of the trip. The food was great, the atmosphere was lovely and I felt relaxed.
I loved that there was a 9/11 quote on the menu for the night.
The Flying Fish are adorable!
Who are these goofy looking people?
The only "complaint" I have of Flying Fish and some other Disney Dining establishments was that when we didn't order the app, the entree and dessert, I feel like they snubbed us a little. For instance, I ordered soup and Marc ordered risotto, then we shared a cheese plate and Marc ordered calamari as well. Then we split a dessert. I think when you bypass the expensive entrees the waitstaff gets a little ticked, we tip well! I don't get the problem.
Our bread.
Our amazing cheese plate. This thing was so good. It started a trend...
Marc's calamari. I really REALLY regretted not getting this for myself. It was so delicious!
My soup, it was a Mushroom thing and it was good, but not the best. I wish I ordered something else.
Marc's side of risotto aka the risotto Leslie fell in love with. I'm so glad he was willing to share!
Then we ordered dessert...we decided to "be good" and get the no sugar added choice. While it was pretty, it was not very tasty. The fruit that came with it was delightful though.
Our verdict was that the cheese, calamari and the risotto were all delicious. My soup was good but I think the other more delicious things overshadowed it. Marc was cleary the winner of ordering this evening. Good thing he loves me enough to share!
Coming up...
The end of a perfect Disney Day.
