Dinner at Tusker House
We ate supper at Tusker House, a buffet style restaurant with mostly African food. (They had a few American dishes like corn dogs and mac’n’cheese for the kids.) The buffet area looks like an African marketplace! We enjoyed the curry chicken, mango chutney, seafood stew, couscous, plantains, roast beef, pork loin, samosas, and of course, the dessert table! The warm banana bread pudding with vanilla sauce (their specialty) was very good.
Magic Kingdom (including the staff who passed out candy) was all decked out in orange, purple, and green for Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party.
Disney Villains Dance Party
Got up nice and close to watch the Disney villains dance outside the castle. It’s not everyday you get to see Cruella de Vil, Captain Hook, and the Queen of Hearts in a rousing musical number.
Lunch at Restaurant Marrakesh in Morocco (Epcot). Salmon with hummus, beef kebabs, and iced mint tea (among other things) in a beautiful atmosphere.

Be Our Guest Restaurant: tuna Niçoise salad, turkey Dijon sandwich with pomme frites, chocolate cream puff and strawberry cupcake. The servers bring your food out on little trolleys. They tracked John’s magic band to find where we were sitting! We ate in the grand ballroom.
