I had really been looking forward to trying the lobster and shrip mac & cheese, but I was very disappointed with it. I ask if they could do it without the shrimp and they said no. To be honest, I really didn’t like it at all. The noodles were overdone, and it had a weird taste that I didn't care for. I should had changed my order when they told me the shrimp had to stay in.
Lorelai had the kid’s mac & cheese and broccoli, and the mac & cheese was delish! I ate some of hers instead. Her broccoli was HUGE and undercooked. In my opinion you can have raw broccoli and it is yummy or well cooked broccoli and it is yummy, undercooked broccoli, YUCK! One of her pieces was so big it was like a miniature tree!
Ethan had the kid’s roasted pork tenderloin and to use his words “It was the best thing I have ever eaten! Ever!” He picked at the rice, which was okay, but his broccoli was under cooked as well. I don’t seem to have a picture of his pork, so he must have devoured it!
I am not sure what Erik ordered (and I don’t have the receipt in front of me), but I know it wasn’t fish, or at least I don’t think it was. Whatever it was, I do remember that he did like it. Edited to add that I found our receipt and it turns out that Erik ordered the roasted pork as well, which explains why he liked it so much. It doesn't seem to be on the menu either... curious that they both loved the pork at a seafood restaurant. Also our servers name was AJ.
Finally it was time for dessert. The kids got cupcakes, which they did not like at all, and Erik and I both ordered the Chocolate Wave, which was yummy and not a speck of it was left on either of our plates!!
We received our “bill” which Erik was shocked at, and paid our tip, which was significant. Erik had not been involved in any of our budgets for the trip, so he was glad when I told him that I had budgeted for the tips on the trip, since our food was already covered. It really is a big expense, especially on the DxDDP, where your bill can be outrageous!! Overall it was a good meal, minus a few components, and we would probably eat here again, but only if on the dining plan, it is way to expensive for the food you get in my opinion.
After leaving the Coral Reef we headed out and around to The Seas With Nemo and Friends, which Lorelai loved.
So simple but entertaining, and who doesn’t love Marlin and Dory? We headed straight over to Turtle Talk and laughed along with Crush, who encouraged the kids to use the word “Dude” as many times as possible for the rest of the day, that their parents would love it… so that is what our kids did. LOL
We stopped to get eaten by Bruce,
before we headed to the International Gateway to head back to the Yacht Club.
We stopped in Canada for a moment:
and found an obvious hidden Mickey:
We had just made it to the boat dock when it started raining again, at least we were undercover! Our boat came pretty quickly and we loaded on. We pulled into the Boardwalk first, and were told that due to the lightning in the area that they had to dock the boat and it could be anywhere from 30minutes or longer before they could run again, we could walk or wait for a bus, that might come, they weren’t sure. Great!
We decided to try and wait it out, or at least wait until the rain slowed down. We did wait about 20-30 minutes, everyone else but one woman had decided to brave the buses or walk. Finally the rain slowed down and we decided to make the walk from the Boardwalk to the Yacht Club. Not the way we wanted to see the Boardwalk…
We finally made it back to the YC, wet but happy! Ready for a glass of wine though, that was for sure!!
Next up: ‘Ohana and 3AM EMH at Magic Kingdom!!!
