Disney Feast West&East Day 20 : OKW , Teppan Edo & Illuminations

[WileyCoyote]

This is quite rare for us – a lounging around day and taking in the amenities at the resort – having never stayed on site before ,we are keen to see what is on offer and having had a busy day yesterday some nice relaxing time here will be just what we need. The incredible plan had us down to visit the World Showcase at Epcot today but that just feels like too much so staying here definitely feels like the harmonious option !

We are still awake early around 8am so snooze and watch tv intermittently until around 1000. Its another hot morning but if the forecasters are to be believed, we will be breaking out the ponchos later this afternoon.

We set off for the main pool and manage to bag a table and some loungers at the back of the sandcastle slide where it is quite quiet and shaded. The boys try out all the activities like tennis , table tennis, table football, pool and spend time cooling off and splashing about in the pool. Its really great and we make the most of the refill station and have some CS lunch ( burgers ) from Goods to Go.





Time passes quickly and by 3pm we are ready to venture back to the villa to get ready to go out to Epcot this evening. The promised storm doesn’t materialise which may or may not bode well for the fireworks later. We are taking the bus and incredibly one arrives straight away at 4.45 so we are in Epcot by 5pm.









We decide to go on Spaceship Earth



but it breaks down so we are finally let out at 5.30 with some bonus fastpasses for mission space, Maelstrom or Living with the Land – what a curious selection. We take a slow walk over to World Showcase , its very humid and very busy and not really that easy to stop and look at look at things without 20 people stopping right in front of you.



just darn busy !









We pitch up at Teppan Edo at 5.45 for our 6pm ADR. The boys are not sure they are going to enjoy this meal as it’s a]Japanese and b]even worse, they have heard vegetables might make an appearance.







We are seated bang on 6pm . Shingo , our chef, is very funny and we love the volcano trick . The boys are fascinated to watch the meal being prepared – we all choose steak and chicken combinations, except Andy who goes for Steak and Prawn. The meat, noodles and rice are really delicious and it’s a fantastic atmosphere. We are seated on our own but its lively and noisy all around us – really good fun. An unexpected hit ! The only let down is the ginger cake , which is really quite a disappointing “nothing” dessert.








the boys realise the vegetable rumours are true ...
