You mean the pic in my avatar? That pic was from the night we ate at Boma with his parents. My dress was actually brown & white & he was wearing that black & white checked shirt. It was in the Kidani lobby.

Re: Wishy*s 'I <3 Kidani Village' Trip Report!

Day 2: Thursday, 6/25

After waking up from a comfortable night's sleep in our villa we wanted to start the day at EPCOT! Daniel was anxious to go on Soarin' again, and I just love to roam the World Showcase. We were determined to try something different for lunch (we ALWAYS end up at Sunshine Seasons, in the Land pav.). I remembered Bella raving about Tangerine Cafe so that was our plan for the day.

I was surprised throughout the day how low the crowd seemed to be at EPCOT. I have never really been to Disney in June but I was prepared for the WORST. Yes, Soarin' did get to a 90-120 minute wait but everything else literally seemed pretty slow, ESPECIALLY the World Showcase.

We road Soarin', Imagination, Spaceship Earth, Test Track & headed over to Morocco on the boat.

WOW, Tangerine Cafe was AWESOME! I had the Mediterranean sliders & Daniel had the lamb/chicken platter. Everything was just fresh & delicious! We were so glad we decided to try it.

After lunch we walked around some more & decided to go back to Kidani for awhile. I chilled at the pool while Daniel checked out (notice I said 'checked out' not USED) the gorgeous gym & hung out again in the arcade.

It was BRUTAL hot out on this day, like no clouds & BLAZING sun. It made us tired REALLY fast and to be honest we weren't feelin' like rushing back into the parks. We had a dinner ADR at Olivia's with Sara (BaaBeE9) & afterwards we decided to go walk around DtD instead of head to a park.

Dinner, as usual, at Olivia's was AWESOME!!! I think I had the best dish of the three, it was a new special, battered chicken breast w/ their awesome potatoes & green beans. The batter on my chicken was amazing; thick, a little crispy, & the chicken was tender and moist. Sara had pasta with chicken and Daniel ordered the coconut covered fishy dish (not sure what it's called). Daniel said his fish was slighty overcooked which is unusual for Olivia's but it was good. We had an AWESOME time hangin' out with Sara, as usual, and I was SOOOOO happy to have John as our waiter. He is just the BEST. That's one thing that makes me love WDW after all these years, you start to get to know people & it's comforting to know you can return over & over again to see them in the same place. John is like a walking menu & one of the sweetest, most friendly servers EVER!!! John!

After dinner Sara was kind enough to drop us off at DtD (thank you. ) & we saw the new Trend-D store, strolled around, & did a little shopping.

Wonderful night!

I think we got back to our room right before 11pm and were off to sleep.

Oh, I forgot to mention that in the little alley way next to the America Pavillion they had a TON of characters out on this day; Big Al & another Country Bear, Pluto, Donald, Mickey, & Goofy; it was crazy! Better than the 'Character Connection!'









Next to the Japanese pav:

Before heading out to dinner later with Sara we had a little while to go look at Sanaa, some animals on the Savannah, and enjoy the resort again
