On our first full day at Epcot, we dine with Princesses and in a cellar. We expect to love both.

Canada Day

This was our second year in a row being at Epcot and this year we did it better, even if we did get rained on.

We started by watching "O, Canada" the 360 degree film narrated by Martin Short. As far as the film goes, I think this is one of the best of the countries in 360 films and it doesn't make me queasy.

When it was over it was pouring but we didn't have far to go. We had reservations at Le Cellier.

Being a party of two has it's benefits because we always seem to get in very quickly even when we'd show up early. Disney doesn't take reservations but instead have ADRs  Advanced Seating Reservations don't guarantee you a time. What they do is try and get you a table within 15 minutes of your ADR. Parties of two are easier to seat because we fit in spots they can't fit anyone else.

I wish I could but I don't remember what Province we were seated in. We weren't far from the bathroom which works well for me. We were given some time to look the menu over while our server brought our drinks.



I let Jim get the appetizer for 2 because none sounded good to me and he wanted roasted duck meatballs.(I let him have mine.) I had the filet mignon without the mushroom risotto.



 Instead I had cream cheese mashed potatoes. Jim had it with the risotto. For desert I had the cute s'mores desert while Jim had the Whiskey chocolate cake.




It was all quiet good but when all you eat is steak all week you become a harsher critic. We ate there again later in the week and it was better.

This does not end Canada Day festivities. Even though it was raining a bit, rain doesn't stop us. We stood outside and listened to Off Kilter, a great Celtic rock band that rocked home that Canada Day feeling, bagpipes and all!
