Disney World!
It was so much better at the age of 26! I felt so much more powerful than the 5 year olds. I had no problem bullying my way to get my picture taken with Alice in Wonderland.
There are so many pictures that I would love to post but I am going to keep it mostly on the food! I was just so excited because I got to take so many picture with my mom and we haven't been on vacation in such a long time that I am happy we have a lot of memories now!
Here's just one.... right as we stepped out of the Orlando airport:
And here's our view from our room at the Wyndham Grand Orlando Bonnet Creek. 10th floor. Holy schnitzel!
DAY ONE
We ate as soon as we got to the hotel because our Jet Blue complimentary snacks of Pop Corners and Terra Blue Chips were not sufficient. We ate at the Poolside Bar/Restaurant called Back Bay Pool Bar. It was good. Nothing special but it was good.
Quesadillas
The Floridian Salad
Then for dinner, we went to the Swan Hotel to check out where my mom's dance competition was being held. There we decided on Kimono's, a Japanese restaurant.
Octopus Kimchee Salad
Stuffed Eggplant with Crab and Chicken
Banzai Roll- Spicy Tuna, Avocado, and Eel
DAY TWO
We followed up the next morning with a buffet breakfast in the hotel at Tesoro Cove. I'm typically not the biggest fan of buffets, unless it's Indian food, but this one was fabulous!
TONS of fresh fruit, an omelette station, a waffle station, oatmeal, sausage, french toast (which sucked), pastries. They had EVERYTHING! The only bizarre turn-off is that you have to pay extra for pancakes. WTF? Not that I really wanted pancakes but why do you have to pay extra only for pancakes? Weird.
After breakfast was my mom's dance competition where she did very well in the Nationals. Congratulations mama!
We celebrated at Deep Blu which is the more upscale restaurant inside the Wyndham Hotel. This place was top notch! Everything from the very nice waiter to the food was perfect!
They started us off with "Foccaccia" bread. I don't know what kind of Foccaccia Floridians are eating but it def was not what I'm used to! The bread was good nonetheless. It came with eggplant+garlic butter :-D
We got the Crab Cakes as a recommendation... the waiter was like "it's 88% crab and 12% breadcrumbs" I was totally like you had me at Crab!
Then we had the Mixed Green Salad which had pear, gorgonzola, and walnuts. Fab!
For entrées, I got the Parmesan and Herb Crusted Cod with Mushroom Risotto and Asparagus:
Mom got the Filet Mignon:
I was stuffed but definitely had room for dessert!
Creme Brulee with Fried Bananas!
And of course a cappuccino!
DAY THREE
We started with the buffet again!
Then, we had a light lunch at the Magic Kingdom at a place called Tony's. I was very confused here. Why is everyone 106 years old? How did the food come out in under 3 minutes after we ordered it?
Anyways, I had a Salad with Grilled Chicken, and mom had the Eggplant Parm with Spaghetti.
Both were pretty bad, but I was surprised at how photogenic the food was.
At the last minute, we decided to go see my mom's favorite dancer Yulia Zagoruychenko at around 9:30. We weren't out of there until about 1:30AM!.
Because I was starving, I was ready to eat as soon as we left, so when we got home, we got the Room Service! The food was SO good!
Ceasar Salad
Turkey Club!
Wings
DAY FOUR
We skipped breakfast because we were running late to get to Epcot but no worries because all you really do in Epcot is eat foods from different counties.
They started us off with a Baguette
Then, we got the Fried Goat Cheese Salad
We also got the Crepes Florentine to share!
For dinner, we went to Tesoro Cove since we only had breakfast there.
The food here is really really good. We got the Surf and Turf since we couldn't make up our mind!
By this time, my camera had died so I don't have any pictures....
Then came day FIVE where we had to check out and come back to NY....
