Fabulous Friends, Fashion, Food and Firsts! 8/20/2021 COMPLETE!!!!

Brunch at Olivias looks great but I do love me some sweet potatoes. We so have to get over there one day. And can you believe I didn't have a single bloody mary on our entire trip? Whenever I start my dining report I'll have to turn in my tipsy crown. You did so much better than me.

The Coke bar is on our list of things to do every trip but we've yet to do that either. Jason wanted the beverly and alcohol drink they had but I don't think its on the menu any longer. Good to know we are missing nothing.

First of all, you will always wear the crown! 😘
Second, don't bother with the Coke bar. That pic of us with the drink was the actual size before we took sips. Just sad...
Finally, get yourselves to Olivia's if not for the food DEFINITELY for the Bloody's!!!!
 
I started with a Bloody and Joe ordered a Poblano Margarita. Both of these were absolutely amazing. My Bloody was nice and chilled and loaded with garnishes.
That was the longest slice of bacon I've ever seen - or at least it looks long. Two shrimp on a skewer almost makes this a meal. ;)
We decided to split the sweet potato waffles with fried chicken and Joe got an order of grits.
This looks like you could have each finished off your own portion. ::yes::

It was sticking up a little, lol. There were actually 3 shrimps. lol!

We could have, lol! It was delicious!

Was the Disney Springs Hilton in the resort area that has a bridge to DS?
Yes! It's a very quick walk.
 
I cannot believe all the construction at the entrance of the Poly. When Joe and I arrived, we weren't even sure where to enter, lol. It took us a minute to get acclimated. That being said, I think it's going to look amazing when everything is complete.
I met Melinda, aka @pepperandchips and R in the lobby (Joe was taking some b-roll for our vlog). A few minutes later, we all met up at the Tambu Lounge and ordered drinks. Joe and I shared a Lapu Lapu. We sat in the lounge for a few hours, chatting and laughing. It was so good to see our friends. It had been a few months but it felt like forever. They are such an awesome couple and we really appreciate now more than ever the time we get to spend with our friends...

All too soon it was time to say goodbye for now. Melinda and R had dinner plans and Joe and I needed to grab something to eat too, because we were going to pop over to Timmy's apartment to say a quick hello. We decided on Capt' Cooks. I had the pulled pork nachos, topped with cheese, spicy mayonnaise, pico de gallo, and pineapple salsa and Joe ordered the Thai Coconut Meatballs, house-made all-beef chili-garlic meatballs cooked in a coconut cream served over white rice. OMG you all! The meatballs were AMAZING. I loved the nachos, but the meatballs were the definite winner.

Next up...we FINALLY make it to Flower and Garden and meet up with more friends!!! Yay!!!

Greetings from PEI! I am in quarantine until Sunday and it is so cold today! Warming up with a nice glass of red now. :)

Love Tambu and it is definitely on my must do list for August! I think you and Joe got my perfect meal. I will get Jack to order the nachos and I’ll order the meatballs and we can share.

Super cute pic of you and Melinda! ❤️

Those meatballs were delicious! We had heard they were good but they were so much more than that.
 
This drink was good but a bit disappointing in size. For us, the Coke bar is probably a one-and-done.


I literally didn't even know this existed, but I guess I don't need to bother going!

Your Olivias brunch looks amazing! Do you make an ADR there or do they have walk up availability?

Love the photo of you and Melinda :love: (I have a hard time quoting only a pic).

Hi Kelly! Don't bother with the Coke bar. It's a one-and-done for us.
Olivia's is a TS restaurant but I would imagine they have walk-up availability. They also have a to-go window.
It was so nice seeing Melinda and R.
 
Brunch at Olivia's looks so good. I would really like to try the chicken and waffles but pass on the grits. I'm born and raised in the South but do not like them.

Your dinner at the Poly is another one I want to try. The pork nachos are on my short list.
