Day 6 11/15 Epcot and Cooke's Lunch
This morning was another waffle & ham breakfast at the foodcourt at POFQ. Then we were off to Epcot . We got there just at before opening and I ended up going into the slowest bag check line.
. It was the people in the line who weren't prepared for having bags and such open causing the delay . I must say the guards were great with everyone.
Once I met up with DH ( he goes to the non-bag line) we did the some rides including Spaceship Earth. With the sponsorship over and the Epcot redo I thought we should hear Dame
Judi Dench one more time.
We stopped to get some Disney popcorn before doing some shopping.
We got some jackets for our niece & nephew at the
Disney store in Future World. And I got a shot glass in the UK pavilion store.
After checking out a few more shops in France & Canada it was time to decide lunch. Once upon a time on Epcot day we used to eat lunch at Chefs de France or Le Cellier. But since they went to an all day menu wiping out lunch entrees no more. We thought about Rose & Crown but other than Fish & Chips for me the other options didn't appeal to DH .
We weren't in the mood for pizza or Mexican so we walked over to the Broadwalk to look at ESPN .Their menu looked liked Planet Hollywood wasn't the only one Guy Fieri had attacked. Please Disney take a look at Lagasse Stadium in Vegas for what Sports Pub menu at this price point should be.
So it was to be Disney Springs. We caught a bus at BWI ( only a 10 minute wait we had good luck with buses this trip). We usually have a lunch or dinner at Cooke's of Dublin and decided to stop in this day.
And now for this report got it's title...
This menu is close to the one they had the last 3 years( Scallops & Salmon were gone last year & Hog in the Box added). But no more ..
The new menu . I told DH we could go elsewhere but he said the tenders worked for him .
I ordered the fish & chips along with a Harp from Raglan Road's outside bar. We were going to sit outside but the sun was pretty strong and there was no breeze so it was an inside table.
Despite the menu shrinking the food was enjoyable . Not the biggest order of fish I have gotten but it wasn't greasy, the batter was nice and crisp.The fish was a meaty fillet & I am pretty sure it was Cod . DH said the chicken was strips of breast and was moist and not dry or stringy. Not Chick Fil A but good.
The one big downside of Cooke's ( other than the new menu) is the seating or lack of it. With all the great things they have done in Disney Springs fixing this place wasn't one. It reminds me of the Chip shop in the town my Great Aunt lived in Scotland but there you were getting the food to take home.
After lunch we checked out the World of Disney store and headed back to POFQ.
