By this point of the day, I was pretty beat. The mister left me to sit and doze while he ran off to snap some Tomorrowland photos. We didn't ride a single ride! Too sleepy! Instead, we wandered into the arcade - the REAL kind! For a bit of a break from the weather and a hot cocoa. There are two arcades in DLRP - one themed for the Statue of Liberty & one themed for Da Vinci. The 'Liberty' arcade lead you to the retail sections and the 'Da Vinci' arcade had all the take-away food windows. Both had spots to sit and relax and they were both relatively quiet.
We opted to stick around the park for dinner and tried our luck at the Blue Lagoon (the restaurant inside the Pirates ride). We waited about 5 minutes for a table! Excellent! I LOVE DLRP! No lines, no real crowds, and no waiting for a table!
It's not themed at all like the Blue Bayou. It's more 'tropical' - as it's supposed to be a pirate hang out in some exotic locale. You couldn't really see the ride as the restaurant is incredibly dark! I tried to peep out from the foliage lining the deck, hoping to wave to a passing boat. I could hear them pass but, couldn't see anything. Oh well! Back to the dinner! I had some kind of tropical 'jambalaya' and Jeff had ostrich flambe!
Funny, all my pictures are of the pitch black darkness!
By the time we finished our dinner, the park was beyond closed. A cast member had to escort us from Adventureland (to make sure we didn't try to pull a trick 'From the Mixed-up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler' and stay after closing). We meandered down Main street and back to the RER station. A quick transfer to the Metro and we were soon snoring away in our beds. The next day was going to be exciting AND exhausting! We were going to visit Versailles!
