I also hope that these posts that I am making will make you think about happy things, with good food and good times to look forward to when this comes to an end. ((((((((HUGS)))))))))) to you all.
NOW!
Here are the dining locations we had meals at on our last trip. Day two was sort of an off day for parks, but we did do the After Hours at Magic Kingdom on this day.
I had gone really early to do the Keys to the Kingdom Tour for the 8am time slot. It was totally amazing and I will be doing spoiler-free review of that at a later date.
After my tour was over, I met up with Paul outside of Magic Kingdom and we took the Monorail over to the Polynesian Village Resort and had lunch at Kona Cafe.

I love this place, and it really is a hidden gem right out in the open. I think they have great food, and our server was great.
We had a Dragon Roll sushi appetizer that we split, and then I had the Seafood PuPu Platter. I was just in the mood for seafood that day and since we did the sushi, I figured I would just stick with it. Paul had the Hawaiian Style Reuben. He said his was delicious as well, but enough for two people. He only ate a little over half of his sandwich.
We also did a little resort hopping that afternoon since we had hours before we had to head back to Magic Kingdom for the After Hours event. We went to the Grand Floridian and went to the Enchanted Rose lounge for drinks, and relaxed there. What a lovely place this is!!
This is the Island Rose drink which contains Ketel One Grapefruit and Rose, Lime, Orgeat (Almond), Pineapple, Bitters, and Rose Water. It was delicious!! Paul had beer.......of course! He really did enjoy his choice though. It was the Cigar City Florida Cracker White Ale - Tampa, FL.
After leaving there, we took the Monorail back over to Magic Kingdom to hop on a boat transport over to Wilderness Lodge to walk around there for a while. I wanted to show Paul the area I was going to be staying on my trip for May, that unfortunately, has now been postponed to September and I will no longer be staying at my favorite resort. Oh well, life goes on, right?
We took the bus over to Disney Springs from Wilderness Lodge. The more we thought about the evening...and that it was cooling off, we made the decision to head back to our resort to change into something a bit warmer. I put on capris and a sweatshirt, and Paul put on long sleeves from the tee he had on with his jeans. We were happy we made that choice.
We had a dinner reservation at 7:15 at The Plaza Restaurant, and fortunately, we were seated very close to the front windows so we could see the Happily Ever After Castle and fireworks show going on.

We each had the wedge salad and the Plaza Club for dinner. It's something we get when we go. Not heavy, and always delicious!

After that, the place was beginning to empty out as the park officially closed that evening at 8pm. By the time 11pm rolled around there was hardly anyone left. We actually hit 11 attractions that night, and had two Mickey Ice Cream Bars each and got a couple bottles of water for free. That's the nice part about that event. Cart snakes are all free!
Well, there is the end of day two!
