Our Walt Disney Epcot adventure continues. Unfortunately, it continued right into the first bad (and it would turn out, only bad) food experience on the trip. The Mexican restaurant inside the pyramid is not, as Charlie Sheen would say, winning. In fact, it is the opposite of winning. It is losing. It is losing badly.…
Epcot is on the agenda for today. We’re having Mexican for lunch and then going to visit the various areas of the world. Before we head off to the lunch reservation, we briefly stopping at another art gallery. Alas, no more Scrooge McDuck merchandise but there was some other cool stuff. We’re going to ride…
We met up with everyone around the Walt Disney and Mickey Mouse statue at Cinderella’s castle before heading over to Space Mountain to ride the famous indoor roller coaster. Ordinarily, roller coasters aren’t my thing, but just like the Everest Expedition (the Animal Kingdom equivalent to Disneyland’s Matterhorn), I have to say I really enjoyed…
Sorry it’s been awhile since an update from Orlando. Long story short, we are back in the Magic Kingdom, lots of rides and attractions were involved (Pirates of the Caribbean, The Tiki Room, etc.) and now we are waiting to meet up with Karen and Blake before dinner tonight at The California Grill, one of…
The safari this morning was awesome but it is now getting excessively hot so we are going to go into our lunch reservation at the Yak and Yeti early. After that, it’s roller coaster time, specifically the Everest Expedition, which is the Florida Disney World equivalent of the Matterhorn at Disneyland in California. The restaurant…
If ever there were a time for a khaki hunting suit from Brooks Brothers, a silver engraved Fratelli Rizzini gun, and an interesting title such as “Colonel” or “Judge”, today would be it. We are going to take the in-park Safari tour of the African wildlife preserve that the Disney company put together with the…
Following dinner at Narcoossee’s on the grounds of the Grand Floridian hotel and resort in Walt Disney World, we decided to head back into the Magic Kingdom tonight to do some shopping and maybe see a few attractions. We ended up looking at collectibles for most of the time. I’m going to go back to…
Dinner tonight is taking place at Narcoossee’s, a seafood place on the edge of the lake that separates the Walt Disney Magic Kingdom, The Contemporary Resort, The Polynesian Resort, and The Grand Floridian Resort. The view is wonderful, the food is terrific, and you can take a nearby boat to any of the other listed…
After having lunch at The Brown Derby restaurant earlier today, the rainstorm finally broke and we were able to run around the park (albeit in ponchos). We saw the rest of the Hollywood Studios, rode the Hollywood movie water boat ride, and hung out for a bit longer. Later, the rainstorm passed and we headed…
Next up on the Walt Disney World foodie tour is The Brown Derby in Hollywood Studios. It is a reproduction of the famous eatery on the West Coast. Our reservation had fortuitous timing because a sudden downpour and lightning storm hit, relentlessly drenching the area as we enjoyed the comfort of the restaurant and…
