Lapu Lapu - 53/365

Today, we took another trip down to Walt Disney World!

 Nikki and Matt decided they wanted to fly down and have a birthday dinner at Cinderella's Castle for Alexandra's 4th birthday. When they booked it, they said we were more than welcome to join them. Of course, we RARELY will turn down a trip to see Mickey, so away we went. 

We headed to the airport in the morning during an ice storm...that was fun. We made it to the airport OK and boarded the plane. We were about a 1/2 hour delayed due to being de-iced...also fun.

 We finally got to Orlando to near 90 degree temps. It was WONDERFUL!!! 

We decided to have a family dinner, to kick off our trip, at the Grand Floridian Cafe. We had a wonderful dinner even though our waitress was a little slow with our drinks. Which after a long travel day, we were all itching for....LOL!

 After dinner, we decided to take the monorail over to the Polynesian to have some Lapu Lapus! Nikki and Matt have always wanted to try one but just never made it over to the Polynesian to get one. A Lapu Lapu is a strong adult beverage served in a hollowed out pineapple. 

They are so delicious! 

We arrived at the Polynesian and found a great sitting area to all sit and chat while we enjoyed our drinks. Nikki and I stayed with the kids while Matt and Jim hit the bar. A few minutes later, Jim came back over and asked if there is anything else we may want because they were OUT OF THEM! WHAT!? Nikki was so sad, and I was too! We came all this way and NO Lapu Lapus?! Jim took our replacement order and headed back over. A few minutes later they came back over with 3 Lapu Lapus! YAY! Another bartender said they weren't out of them after all, someone just went to go get some more pineapples. We all enjoyed our beverages while the kids enjoyed some ice cream. It was a perfect kick off to our trip! 

The picture of the day is Matt, Nikki and I and the much anticipated Lapu Lapus!
