Merci Monsieur Mal!
The original trigger for this trip was to run the Disney Marathon so that we would get medals and qualify to purchase special running shoes. We didn't make it into the virtual queue which was disappointing at the time but we now realised the sliding door realities for today:
A) waking at 0300 to stand outside in 4 degree temperature in running gear whilst being herded into starting groups
B) sleep past all that and have dinner at Monsieur Paul instead
Option B suddenly didn't seem so bad after all! More on Monsieur Paul later.
The day was another post-FOMO pleasant hybrid of rope drop, siesta and resort activity in the afternoon sun. This time Team Pickleball finally made an appearance. The middle children were kind enough to join us and accept their whooping with good grace. As a reward, Steve bought them ice cream!

| We see the sunrise EVERYDAY thanks to rope dropping lol |
 |
| An attraction we were keen to check out |
 |
| It was more than what we thought it would be |
 |
| An interactive walk-through with many cool things to do |
 |
| Te Fiti |
 |
| We managed to snag a reservation at Space 220 Lounge. Check in was a schmozzle! |
 |
| Boarding pass |
 |
| It felt like we had to wait for a long time after already waiting for a long time despite being there for the opening at 1130 |
 |
| View of the restaurant section behind us |
 |
| Moon Rocks. Popping candy makes any drink good! |
 |
| One of the worst chicken wings I've ever tasted |
 |
| Sliders weren't too bad |
 |
| A new find at the DVC lounge! |
 |
| Pickle ball time |
 |
| One of Epcot's fine dining experience |
 |
| I was excited to discover that there was a mocktail pairing but disappointed that it turned out to be just glasses of juices in various combination. Nothing like the elevated and complex tastes of mocktails pairing in Sydney restaurants |
 |
| The food though was good. Lobster |
 |
| Looked odd and hard to describe but this was escargot, and it was a good one. |
 |
| Our waiter Keylan was fantastic! |
 |
| Scallops grilled to perfection |
 |
| Mal loved his puff pasty covered sea bass |
 |
| We were so full then came these big chunks of cheese... |
 |
| And something to take home! |
