cocktails and more at bluezoo with new friends

Last Friday evening, we met Melissa (@melissisms) and Danny (@hyperionpapers) from Hyperion Papers and Sarah (@eatingwdw) from EatingWDW for cocktails at bluezoo lounge. We’ve gotten to know each other through blogs, twitter, and personal emails.

Nick and I were the first to arrive and of course, we ordered a couple of cocktails…

2013 Epcot International Food & Wine Festival – China Marketplace – Mongolian Beef in a Steamed Bun & Tsingtao Beer

We hadn’t planned on having the Mongolian Beef in a Steamed Bun… It just didn’t seem very interesting to us. Frankly, we don’t eat beef very often (although, it seems like we’re eating it more frequently in 2013 than we have in the previous 10 years!)… However, Sarah & Matt at EatingWDW gave it rave

Cabana Poolside Bar – Dolphin Resort

We recently stopped in at the Cabana poolside bar with a large group of friends, you see, we had committed the ultimate WDW visitor error – no planning in advance for food. Luckily, Nick remembered that one of managers from bluezoo had recently moved over to Cabana (and, since the food from Cabana was quite

Oysters, Salmon, Chocolate… perfect food at bluezoo

Kris and Kevin came to visit and to go to the Swan and Dolphin Food & Wine Classic with us (here, here, here)… Of course, while they were here, we had to go to bluezoo for dinner! (when they come back at Thanksgiving, we plan to go again!)

We don’t have photos of all the

Swan and Dolphin Food & Wine Classic 2013 – Food & Drink on the Causeway Friday & Saturday Nights

It’s been a couple of very busy weeks since the Swan and Dolphin Food & Wine Classic… Here’s a slideshow of the Causeway (there are captions under the images)…

A few quick notes:

the food at this event is typically much better than the food found at the Marketplaces at the Epcot International Food &

Quick Post – Another breakfast at The Wave in the Contemporary Resort

We recently stopped back in at The Wave in the Contemporary Resort for breakfast – we can nearly always get a table (actually, we’ve never been turned away, but we’ve only been there three times for breakfast), the service is great (we always get Ashley), and the food is good.

Ashley was our server again,

Breakfast at The Garden Grove in The Swan Resort – new to us

We eat at the Dolphin (well, Todd English’s bluezoo) on a very regular basis… But we rarely eat at the Swan in recent years…

We’ve eaten at Il Mulino a couple of times with Lisa and Andy (back in the days before we blogged) and frankly, we were never very impressed; we learned recently that

2013 Epcot International Food & Wine Festival – Sake & Food Pairing at Tokyo Dining

Let’s start out with some photos…

before the event began, Nick was able to get some photos of the layout and the table settings – sushi chefs (all female) preparing sushi (for the dining room, not for the event)

there were six-top tables and four-top tables, we sat at a four-top

Yes, we’re becoming bluezoo fanboys (well, one of us is a fangirl)

We headed back over to bluezoo on Friday night, if you follow our twitter feed (@extrawdwmagic) then you already know about most of the meal…

BUT here’s a recap, and a story…

When we arrived, we noticed that Monique was behind the bar! Yay! Nick could order a Boulevardier (Monique has been working to get

2013 Epcot International Food & Wine Festival – Beer & Food Pairing at Via Napoli

We did this event two years ago, during the first year of it’s existence… it wasn’t as impressive as our first Tequila Lunch, so we decided to give it a year or two to mature. This year, Calvin agreed to come with us – it was nice to have a friend sharing the experience.

We
