Sundays are for eating - Part 2

 Got into some more comfortable clothes and rested for a while, especially since it was now raining cats and dogs.

When it finally stopped we got ready to head out again for a little while. 

We needed to pick up a few things from Walgreen and once we had everything we decided to drive over to the Vineland Outlets to have a look around. When we arrived there was a line of cars going in and we talked about how hard it might be to find parking. 

But we tried. 

We drove all around the parking lot without much luck. Whenever we saw someone walking to their car someone else was already waiting. In the end we decided to just fork over some money and park at the covered parking area. 

Drove up to the booth and they only take credit cards. 

Now, here in Austria we don’t use our credit cards that often, cash and debit are still king, so we decided not to park there, as I try to be careful with who we hand our credit cards to. In the end we just went back to Pop Century, 

but it took quite a long time as there was a traffic jam all around the area. 

We got back to the resort and were pretty done after being out all the time in the heat, so we took another break and I cancelled our Kilimanjaro Safari Fastpass, so we had a little longer until we had to leave our resort again. 

We had another dining reservation at the Animal Kingdom, and I had made some Fastpasses, but there was no way we would make it to the Safari without having to leave in the next few minutes. Without the Fastpass we had another hour to just lie around watching TV. 

But all too soon it was time to leave again and soon we had made it to the Animal Kingdom. 

They were no longer assigning parking spots, so we found one really close to where the tram started, parked the car and walked over to the tram. Since we didn’t know if the tram was going to stop on our side, we crossed the track and got on on the opposite site. Turns out they did stop on “our” side and when we didn’t get off the castmember at the back came to tell us that this was the last stop before they headed back to the entrance. 

Yip, that was exactly where we wanted to go. 

And in no time at all we were at the entrance, hopped off and went through bagcheck and on to the turnstiles. 

And we were on our way to dinner.

Shortly before we went on this trip they had announced that Restaurantosaurus would start taking reservations for a Burgers and Ice-cream Sundaes meal and today was the first time they offered it. Needless to say I had jumped on the idea and here we were to try it. 

We were a bit unsure where to go to when we entered, but there were Castmembers directing us right to where we had to go to. 

They handed us a menu 

and we studied it, then got in line and ordered. And then we were handed a little chalkboard with our name on it 

and were taken to our table, but even before that we were taken to the toppings bar, which was in the middle of the room and the different sauces they offered for the burgers. There were crayons and stencils and they encouraged everyone to use them to decorate the paper tablecloth 

and we were handed two vouchers for the ice-cream bar as well. We sat down and pretty soon our drinks arrived. Tom had ordered the 

Safari Amber, Red Lager with toasted notes of Caramel, Malt and Hops, while I had decided on trying the Margarita, Jose Cuervo Tequila, Triple Sec and Lime Juice, which was really nice and we had used for some water as well. 

Tom went to get some sauces 

and I took pictures while we waited for our food to be served. Didn’t take long and our burgers were served, together with our sides. They offer fries and onion rings and I had initially ordered one of each and mentioned that we would share, and the cast member had then mentioned that she would make sure that we would receive mixed portions right away. We had decided on sharing our burgers and had ordered two that had interested us, the 

Pulled Pork Barbeque Burger, which had a thick burger patty, American cheese, lots of pulled pork, barbeque sauce and breaded onion rings on a Brioche Bun and the 

All American Burger, a thick burger patty, American Cheese, bacon, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles and red onions. Both were quite big and very tasty. We just both wished that we would have been hungrier as we had to work hard to finish that burger. When we had finally succeeded we sat for a few minutes, before we went to cash in our Build your own Sundae vouchers. 

They had an ice-cream counter where they had vanilla, chocolate and strawberry ice-cream and some raspberry sherbet and you were able to pick two scoops of ice-cream. 

Tom had a scoop of vanilla and one of strawberry, while I had asked for strawberry and chocolate and then we headed to the toppings bar. 

There were so many choices and it was up to you how much or whatever you wanted to top your ice-cream with. Sundaes topped we sat down again and enjoyed our treats. 

It was really good value for money and we were very happy we had been able to try it and should it still be offered when we go back, we will definitely book it again. 

Neither of us was able to finish the ice-cream though. 

We then left the restaurant and sat down outside to post the meal on social media as we knew there would be people interested in this new offering, but it was such a pain as we were depending on Disney WiFi and it was aweful, took forever to upload. But we finally finished uploading and while we had been sitting there we both expressed that we were not feeling up to going on Flight of Passage, so we released our Fastpasses and instead walked over to Expedition Everest as that Fastpass time had already opened.

 It was just a short walk over and we scanned our Fastpasses, walked through the line, asked for front row and were seated on the next train out. 

The ride was as fun as always and as soon as we got off we walked around and had a look at the standby line, which was only 15 minutes and we got in line again. It was more or less a walk through until the very last room where the line slowed down a bit, but it was still moving and within just ten minutes we were off on our second visit to the Yeti. 

Once we had gotten off again we thought about trying to fit in another ride, but we were both tired and just decided to slowly stroll towards the exit. We walked through the shops and checked out the merchandise for a while and then proceeded to the exit, got on the tram and soon we were back in our car and on the way back to the resort. 

Once we had arrived at Pop Century we were able to find a parking spot close by and within a few minutes we were back in our room and ready for some rest. We watched a little TV and picked through the dessert box we had brought home from California Grill before we turned off the light.
