Today we are off to Epcot for a turn around the world with what we hope is a lesser crowd. It got really busy on Saturday - Day Two of the Food & Wine Festival. We are meeting up with a group - some of whom we cruised with a few Disney cruises ago - in Epcot.
Dinner tonight is at Sanaai at the Animal Kingdom Lodge, so we'll need to calculate travel time into our reservation. Perhaps some downtime after Epcot to re-group? Looks like the owner of the travel agency which we use for our Disney voyages was in town to run the 5K Wine & Dine Marathon on Sunday. May be able to connect with him if he's still in town, though he lives in Vero Beach, so he may have already toddled off home by now.
LATER
Yes, we did see Rick briefly before he headed home to VB. Sorry we couldn't manage lunch or a drink, but next time?
Although concerned about making our reservation time for dinner (using the Disney free transportation network can be chancy at times), we arrived 1 minute early. The bar had Hendricks and the food was wonderful! Perhaps we can make it back there for another dinner or lunch? As an added bonus, our table was right at a window and we had a great view of ostriches, some sort of antelope, giraffes, and zebras meandering around munching on things as we munched on things.
Dinner consisted of three breads and three toppings (mango chutney, tamarind & roasted red pepper hummus); a trio of appetizer tastings (including pulled duck in a red curry sauce, potato & pea samosas, and roasted cauliflower with tomato chutney); three salads (watermelon, lime & mint; carrot, mint & lime; and my favorite: roasted beets); then our entrees of slow-simmered in gravy short ribs and coconut-curried lamb (mine) and a African-roasted chicken breast on a bed of turnips and cherries (Michael). Having eaten too much, we skipped desserts. The seasonings throughout dinner were interesting and multi-layered. We hope to get back soon.
