Yachtsman
My husband arrived at the Yacht Club by Taxi as he didn’t want to drive. I would have rather saved the $30 in taxi fare to and from but whatever. He texted me upon arrival so I left the meet up (I had been there for 3+ hours) and headed to the Yachtsman after a pitstop to the lady’s room. I was also probably the most underdressed I’ve been at a Disney Signature Restaurant as I had on jeans and a BB-8/BB-9 top. I realize that’s a mental thing as normally we are among the most dressed people in the signature restaurant so this time we were ‘normal.’ Our server was friendly and on top of things. There was a child who wouldn’t stop screaming and he apologized for that even though he didn’t have to. After 10 minutes of screaming, the parents finally took the kid out of the restaurant until he calmed down or passed out. Not sure which it was.
My husband and I ended up getting almost the exact same order for our meals with the only difference being the side for our steak. We love a well executed French Onion Suup and this one was perfection. The broth was so rich that you could tell they took the time to actually develop the broth. You can’t go wrong with lots of cheese on top either!
French Onion Soup - Sourdough Crouton, Gruyere Cheese, Rich Onion Broth
We both got a filet mignon rather than doing a split of the steak for 2. The cost was near the same for either option. Each of our steaks were perfectly executed for medium-rare. I did run into a problem of fullness rather quickly so I could only eat half my steak but I blame all the earlier drinking on that! We got a doggy bag for my steak so that the puppies could have some on Monday after they came home. Not many puppies get to have a quarter of a $50 filet each but it was either that or trashing it. My husband had zero problem joining the clean plate club!

After dinner, we took a taxi back to Animal Kingdom Lodge. It was the same taxi driver he had earlier which was funny but at the same time, our meal took less than an hour as we didn’t have alcohol or dessert. We went to bed at a decent hour after packing up from the weekend as my husband would have the 2:45AM wake up call the next day for the half marathon!
