My 1st visit to Disney World was in 1970 at the Welcome Center before the park even opened, my father bought me a charm bracelet with Cinderella, the Prince and Snow White and the 7 dwarfs, that I cherish to this day. My love of Disney began 48 years ago, and throughout the years I've experienced many, many "Bests". The spectacular changes over the years, Epcot, Hollywood Studios, Animal Kingdom, so much more to see, so many wonderful places to stay, to eat (from the early days of only hot dogs and hamburgers to the wonderful dining options offered today) and activities (Food & Wine, Flower & Garden Show) to enjoy. I first experienced them as a child with my parents, and for the last 22 years with my son. I've imparted that love of Disney to him and I hope the next phase will be when I bring my future grandchildren.
The best:
October 2017 - My son and his best friend's 21 st birthdays (friends since the age of 3), celebrated with a week-end at Disney and a wonderful dinner at Raglan. The food, the drinks, singing & dancing, the ambiance, the service, everything was wonderful, right down to two , unexpected, complimentary desserts, Ger's Bread & Butter Pudding and Dunbrody Chocolate Kiss. A night to remember.
February 2015 - 10 of us, 4 w/ February birthdays celebrated together. The evening began in Epcot as we walked to the restaurant, an acapella group of young men, seeing our many birthday buttons, stopped us and sang us happy birthday in the middle of the street. We then had an outstanding meal at Teppan Edo. The hibachi grill master gave us a great show, even better food, we laughed and had so much fun. The food (freshly grilled and seasoned) was made even better by the service we received, the friends and family we shared it with, it was a wonderful night. I've learned that the food doesn't have to be 5 star to be a best, it's often the combined experience that elevates it to a "BEST"
There have been so many "Bests" before and after.... but I also look forward to those yet to come.
