One of the things we like about traveling with friends is the opportunity to break each other for date nights. Ours came up first. We chose Chefs de France in World Showcase. I love French food. Plus this restaurant had the magic combination of a cheese plate for me and a filet for Brian. Perfect!
We left the kids with the Maurers around 6:15pm, showered and ready to play. They met up with the Colwells at the POR cafeteria for chicken nuggets. Then they ran around at the playground.
We drove over to Epcot and had some photopass pics taken as the sun was going down. We shopped around England and picked out some Mr. Men books to surprise the kids. We had hoped to catch the British Invasion, but no dice. We crossed the bridge to France and took a few more pics. I got a glass of Vouvray. I can't resist; reminds me of our trip to Vouvray and Sancerre.
Our reservations were for 8:30pml a late dinner just feels decadent to me. Plus I knew it would coincide with Illuminations. And it did. While we were eating, there would be these bursts of color from the fireworks filling the windows. Magic.
As I mentioned, I love a good cheese plate. This was a generous, if standard, offering. Of the four cheeses, the goat was the stand-out. Brian started with french onion soup. He loved it. We both ordered the filet mignon with potato gratin & hericot verts. It was good -- not great -- but very good. Dessert was creme brulee and profiterolles. The park was closed as we left around 10pm. It was a beautiful night and a treat to have some time together as a couple.
