Vacation – Day Two

April 21, 2007 · Friends and Family, Miscellaneous








What kind of vacation starts with a 7:15 am wake-up call from Mickey Mouse? So much for sleeping late! All six of us were out of the hotel by 7:40 … it’s a cruel world. I let Nicholas sleep a little longer than The Husband and I, and then whispered in his ear, “You don’t want to sleep late in Disneyworld, do you?” and his eyes shot wide open. He looked around, remembered he wasn’t at home and bounded out of bed.

Three of the pictures above represent our breakfast, lunch and dinner. First person to get all three places guessed correctly, in order, in the comments section gets a new cookbook (to be determined). We all agreed that today was definitely a “good meal day,” with highlights at each restaurant. At dinner, we had three favorites, and I asked for a recipe request form, like they have at Boma, and they did one better; they brought me all 3 recipes before the meal was over. Let me tell you – y’all are in for a treat once we start making them back home. It’s after 11 and I could not be more tired … and Nicholas? Yapping away, still wide-eyed and bushy-taled. Both of us should crash a-n-y m-i-n-u-t-e n-o-w.

    The girlfriend is really stying with her Cinderella dress and tennis shoes! ;-) LOVE IT! Looks like y’all are having a good time. This is a good time to go b/c it’s not sweltering but is warm. I have NO CLUE where you ate but breakfast appears to be a character breakfast!

    Claire – temperature was definitely pretty close to ideal, low 80s.

    Breakfast was the character breakfast at Ohana’s, and lunch was Cinderella’s Royal Table. Since dinner is still stumping people… that was Sweet and Sour Shrimp at Ohana Dinner, part of their family style, all-you-can-eat Hawaiian thing, one of our favorite dinners.
