First day in DL ...part 2!
Ok so as you know we stayed at the GCH...and you can walk right into DTD from it..which was FANTASTIC by the way. Every day I would walk by this window and sigh...
We are getting married next October..and I am obsessed with wedding gowns! I haven't even tried one on yet..whoops! But i just loved this window that was attached to our hotel on the way to DTD..i love the dress on the left..i think that is one of the "Belle" collection...
anyway here are some pics of DTD and fun pics I took in the world of Disney while Greg got his pre-dinner massage:
I loved the twinkle lights on everything...it looked so pretty at night.
Warning...i went nuts on taking pics of all the cute Halloween stuff they had..it was TOO CUTE!
Gotta love Zero with his light up pumpkin nose
OH NO >>>>>Alice!!
I just love all the Lenox Disney figures they had! ( side note..we got an awesome deal on a cute pooh Lenox at that Dept. 35 ( whatever) store..later on in the trip..i was excited!)
Prince Piglet!
And of course..how could I resist:
After spending a good 30 min. or so there..I headed back to the room to get ready for dinner at Napa Rose!
This is the entrance way from DTD to the GCH:
When I got back, Greg was not back yet BUT turn down service had been there!
adorable.
Ready for dinner!
not the best self-pic ever, but check out Soarin' looming in the background! And here is what Mr. Grizzly looks like at night...
Napa Rose.....was amazing. Our waiter/sommelier was terrific and we had perfect pairings with our meals as well...I highly reccomend trying different wines when you are there..they have a great selection.
For an appetizer we had the Our Signature Pizzetta - Shaved American Prosciutto, Black Mission Figs, Caramelized Onions and Cambozola cheese..AMAZING!
up close and personal:
It was seriously so good I could have high fived the chef! I paired the appetizer with a Shaffenberger, Brut..a sparkling white..absolute perfection. Greg is a fan of red, so he went with the Tantara Pinot Noir, from Santa Maria Valley...another spot on choice.
here is a pic of me with that AMAZING bubbly..note the cool open kitchen!
For our entrees we both chose the Angus Filet Mignon "au Poirve" - topped with Melted Brie, Roasted Walnuts, Sun-Dried Cherries and Cabernet Sauvignon-Cherry Essence. We both went "light" on the Au Poirve part though...
YUM! I paired mine with the Pinot that Greg had with the appetizer and I think he chose a bolder cab of some sort. We also split the farm fresh veggies as well...it was ALOT of food!
But of course we had dessert with cappucino:
I had the pineapple upside down:
Greg had some chocolate trio:
The cappucino gave this meal the best ending ever..because they also included a rock candy stirrer! The only other time I got one of these for my capp. was at the Capital Grille..I just love it!
After an amazing dinner we waddled around DTD for a bit
then went back to the hotel to get some much needed sleep...we had a big day ahead!!
