Dinner for one

Posted on by Ian C.

Driving back to 8002 after a day of Disney (Downtown Disney in the morning, then all three Mountains at Magic Kingdom!), I spotted a newly opened Indian Restaurant so decided to grab some take-out and try it …

I got Chicken Korma and a Peshwari Naan – the Korma was very good but the Naan lacked flavor and was missing it’s expected almond paste; but still, enjoying dinner outside with 80 degree temperatures on an October evening is pretty nice 🙂

It’ll be cooler tomorrow – I fly back home where it’s only about 50 degrees right now!

Mickey & MINI 2010 – Dinner Show

Posted on by Ian C.

Again because I hadn’t originally planned to fly down, I had not planned events, but learned of The Outta Control Dinner Show happening tonight, and bought a dinner ticket from someone that couldn’t attend. Excellent 🙂
So, another short MINI drive:


The show is at WonderWorks, a bit of an “upside-down place”! The actual dinner part of the evening was nothing great; some OK salad and less than best pizza slices, and a piece of cake … But of course the MINI company was perfect, as always!

 

The show itself (from Tony Brent) was hilarious and amazing; Tony performs comedy magic with a good level of audience participation, including a few great card tricks and a fabulous disappearing-$100-reappearing-in-a-lemon; he also discovered Xiek and had him up on stage …

 

My personal highlight surely was “I’ve got you Babe” – imagine an audience member with ventriloquist face mask operated by Brent as Cher, while he mimes Sonny!

 

A great evening – many thanks Mickey & MINI and all my MINI friends down here!

Hot Epcot!

Posted on by Ian C.

I’m down here for the weekend for Mickey & MINI (see GBMINI here, here and here), and spent a while in Epcot this afternoon. It’s the International Food & Wine Festival, and it’s BUSY!

The “15” in flowers is for the 15th year of the festival.

It’s nice to walk around, but all the queues to try different food are long, and it’s crazy hot! I’ve headed back to 8002 to cool off …
