It reminds me of what little I've seen of the days of British rule in India or parts of Africa, thus the whole thing gives me negative connotations of colonialism.

My daughter and wife split the Skip's Mac and Cheese and still had enough left over for my son and I to try it. I had the Lamb Chops; they were cooked very well but had a strong grill flavor. Overall, it was not somewhere I will go out of my way to visit, but I might pop in if the mood strikes me. On the subject of the parrot lights, my wife and daughter were pricing them online as we ate. Surprisingly, none have appeared on my doorstep yet.<br /><br />By the way, my daughter, Katie, is currently working in Adventureland (Tiki room/Aladdin's carpets/Treehouse area) through the DCP until mid-August. If you happen to see a tall girl with curly hair, incredible dimples, and an infectious zeal for life (and all things Disney), tell her hello!

Our waiter was very much in character and we mostly followed her suggestions in regards of what to order and it worked out really well. We split a lot of entrees, mostly Char Siu Pork and Rice Noodle Bowls I think and between that and the appetizers it was plenty of food. The Falafel appetizer was really good too. Plus my brother is a vegetarian who doesn't like salad which means that Skipper had hands down some of the best options for him in terms of food we've seen in the parks.

Disneysea is the most beautiful park I've been in, when we stumbled across Magellans inside a castle (that we spent way to long running around like kids in) it blew us away. We didn't eat there, but the cast members let us walk around and soak up the atmosphere. stunning.

Plus we couldn't justify the food prices for 5 of us, when we weren't at all sure we would actually like anything. My husband and I are adventurous -- our favorite meal was at Sanaa -- but the kids are not, so we mostly stuck to counter service this trip.KThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01002539345462467082noreply@blogger.com
