Trip Report: Day 7, Part 4: Boardwalk Dinner (December 2019)

 If you missed the last update, you can ride it here.

At the Boardwalk we looked at their Gingerbread display. I was able to pick up a pin from the little shop at the display. Then, we sat on the boardwalk while we waited for our reservation. It was only about 6 so we double checked and were able to update our reservation to 6:15.

We were seated in this little back room. It felt kind of removed from the rest of the restaurant, but not in a bad way. Our server was very nice and friendly, but not too chatty. This is a big deal for us because my dad and I aren’t huge people-people.

The food was very good. I think I got lasagna. And we got the Zeppoli for dessert. The server convinced us to not split it. That was a good call. They were amazing. I really wish you could get them from the bar, but unfortunately you can’t. We asked and our server did say i twa a big favorite.

Then, we stopped at the Beach Club to see their gingerbread display. I was able to get a pin. Apparently, there were only 2,000 made and they were almost out. We also checked out the gift shop. My dad loves the gift shop at Beach club. He doesn’t know why. I think it is one of the bigger ones so maybe that is why.

My dad is becoming an elitist so we ordered a Minnie Van. This time we ended up with a Suburban. We talked about the Candlelight Processional with our driver. He told us one time Whoppi worked at the Haunted Mansion when she was the narrator. Can you imagine just walking toward a Doom Buggy and seeing Whoppi Goldberg as a ghost-host? 

We picked up our mugs and then went to the food count. We got the cinnamon sugar beignets because apparently we hadn’t eaten enough tonight. 

A guest was staying in the room next to us, so the construction was over. Yay!!! 

We packed up. Boo!!! And went to bed. 

Steps walked: 21, 572

Trip Report: Waking up in Disney World (December 2018)

If you missed the last update, you can check it out here.

After a short night, I was awake. It was kind of a restless night because I kept expecting our bags to show up.

You might wonder why I would think that.

Because I called the front desk and was told our bags would be delivered when they arrived.

But when I woke up I saw there was a message on our phone. It was from around 2 AM and was bell services letting us know our bags were here and to let us know to call them for delivery. In retrospect, this makes so much more sense.

My parents were still sleeping, so I called down. It only took a few minutes for the bags to show up.

Then, I took a shower and we all got around for the day. We were checking out of the Boardwalk and had a late breakfast reservation at 11:20 at Trattoria al Forno. 

Apparently, I was pretty tired and didn't take very many pictures this morning. I do wish I had-especially of the hotel room.

Then, we were off to the Bon Voyage breakfast. Just like last time, we really enjoyed our meal and experience.

I was wearing a Zetus Lapetus button form Parkbound Buttons which our waiter recognized. I also had to explain to my parents about the greatness of Zenon. 

They no longer give you fruit or yogurt as an appetizer which was a little disappointing. But you still get more than enough food. I got the same thing as last time-the Tangled eggs. I really like that Sunday gravy.

The characters were fun and great to see. Flynn and Rapunzel are both just amazing. They play with each other so well. Flynn kept shouting "Blondie!" to get her attention. And she would call him Eugene constantly.

As much as I loved meeting them, it was even better to see them with other guests-young and old(er). You get to see so many fun and magical interactions.
