Spectrolee‘s First DVC trip - Day Nine, California Grill Brunch and Magic Kingdom

[spectrolee]

Today we had brunch at the California Grill

We started with complimentary bubbles - very nice

There were buffet stations, and you could also choose from the entree menu. Our server encouraged us to get there between the two of us

Lots of delicious sushi

There was also a Bloody Mary bar. Very nice, but too much ice. Plenty of options to make it how you like it though

The chicken and waffles was amazing

As was the shakshuka - meatballs and egg with pitta.

Desserts to finish a lovely lunch

It was such a lovely way to spend a few hours, delicious food with views over ‘the World'

We walked round to Magic Kingdom to do a bit of Tomorrowland

Had a listen into the phone conversation at the Chapeau
Love all the wee touches like this throughout the parks

I have a friend from Boston who I met through work. She moved to Florida a while ago and happened to be up in Orlando for a few days over the weekend. We arranged to have a quick catch up outside the Plaza
Hopefully when we're back next year we can organise dinner/drinks

Isabel wonders why she never wins these games - eh, wake up! lol!

Peoplemover selfie!

We went back to the plaza for a Mickey Sink ice cream (without all the toppings)

A photopass photographer took some snaps of us

Was getting a bit warm again, so back to the pool for a cool down

We stopped by the campfire to toast some marshmallows

We eventually stuck Joni's on a straw, as she was just licking it and we'd have been there for hours ha!

We weren't quite ready to call it a night, so headed over to the Grand Floridian
So glad we did this. We went to Gasparilla Grill for some pizza just as Hallowishes was starting and the view was amazing. They pipe in the music for this too.

Love the soaps in Basin

The chicken and mushroom pizza was really good (had a white sauce base instead of tomato)

If we had been more organised we could have got a seat by the water. It was quiet just up until the fireworks started.
We'll definitely come back here to watch them
