It's all about the experience

Our trip to Disney involved a lot of eating. Now that I have been able to weigh myself and see that I have gained 4 pounds, I can see just how much eating I actually did. I am totally frustrated with myself. But man, the food was good!



We ate at the Crystal Palace which I have already told you about. It was a beautiful restaurant, lots of flowers and glass and of course, Characters. Its easy to get distracted and not pay attention to how much you are eating .
Monday, we had lunch at Epcot at a Moroccan restaurant called the Restaurant Marakesh. The food was ethnic but very good. The meal came complete with a belly dancer. She was beautiful and the music was great too. It will be an experience that I remember for a long time. Rick, of course, loved the belly dancer.

At MGM, We ate at the Hollywood Brown Derby. The dessert (yes, I had dessert), was probably the best I ever had. Rick and I got two desserts and shared. Yum. It was one of those places where, if it hadn't been in a theme park, you would expect everyone to be in white ties and long gowns. But, we just went in in shorts and t-shirts and were very comfortable. Our waiter was wonderful. His name was Stanley and he was from the Ukraine. That's the cool thing about Disney world. You get to meet so many people from all over the world.

On Thursday, we ate at the Garden Grill at Epcot. Its a revolving restaurant. It revolves very very slowly and you can see different scenes of America. The dessert, farmlands, etc. Very cool. The food is served family style and the Apple dumpling is out of this world! It is also a character meal. We were able to see Mickey, Pluto and Chip and Dale. Rick had his head rubbed by Mickey and Pluto. It was really pretty funny. For some reason, all of the characters rubbed Rick's head. Like he was a buddha or something and they were rubbing it for good luck. lol. He loved it.

Here are just a couple more pics for you to enjoy.
