We had been walking for too many miles to count, it was 100+ degrees until the rainstorm, and we were dehydrated and exhausted. Aaron ordered a mango smoothie and it sounded so perfect that I ordered one for myself. It was amazing. If Joshua Kennon lived in Disney World, this is where you would find me every day, at precisely this time of day as the sun began to set, drinking a mango smoothie and reading annual reports or writing. I'd do it every day for the rest of my life.

Both Aaron and I had a chopped romaine salad with applewood smoked bacon, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions, and avocado vinaigrette. He substituted ranch dressing on his, though.

Ashly had the lobster spring roll with spicy mayonnaise and soy-orange dipping sauce.

Ian ordered the muscles with parsley-pastis broth and garlic toast ... I tried one, having never eaten a muscle. The texture made me gag. They laughed at me but I could never eat them unless I was stuck on a deserted island and needed to survive. Even then, there'd be a lot of prayer for God to provide an alternative food source.

I ordered the full steamed whole main lobster with baked sherry-cheddar orecchiette pasta and broccolini. It was delicious. I ended up eating the lobster meat only and getting rid of everything else because I was too full.

Ashly ordered the surf & turf, which featured medallions of filet mignon, lobster tail, lemon mashed potato, shallot red wine butter, wax beans with roasted tomatoes, and shaved garlic.

Ian ordered the crab crusted flounder with crushed fingerling potatoes, haricots verts, and Meyer lemon sauce.

Aaron ordered the filet mignot with wild mushroom and marble potato hash with red wine demi-glace.

Both Ian and I ordered a mango sorbet but could only take two bites ... I had already begun to waste food and was too full. No matter how many miles man walks in a day, there comes a limit to his stomach. I'm done ... well, with the food anyway. There is still a few hours of hiking all over the Magic Kingdom, which should help burn off this caloric excess.

Ashly ordered the creme brûlée duo, one of which was key lime and one of which was coconut custard, both of which were finished with caramelized sugar.

Aaron had the gelato sampler dessert, featuring a chocolate, raspberry, pistachio, and cappuccino gelato. He substituted the pistachio but now wishes he had made all four cappuccino.
