6th Wedding Anniversary Weekend: Victoria & Albert's


After working a really long day at work Omar drove us in my new car (YEAH) to Orlando. Friday morning we woke up and met Omar's "sister" Denise and her friend along with my parents and my sister Kelly at Disney Hollywood Studios. I don't remember the last time that I went there. We had a great time going on Rockin' Rollercoaster, Tower of Terror, Beauty and the Beast show, Indiana Jones Stunt Spectacular (I was an extra in it!), and Star Tours. We were there for a few hours and left to go home and rest a little until our anniversary dinner at Victoria & Albert's.

Victoria & Albert's was amazing. It was a 10 course meal. It was not cheap but it was totally worth it. I would be interested to see how price changes through the years so I will just say it cost $210/pp not including tax and gratuity. It was beautiful and very private in the room we were in. We had 2 servers that pampered us. The awesome thing is they are both married to each other and it was wonderful to see how they interacted and treated each other. The whole meal took 3.5 hours! I am surprised we made it through that long at dinner as normally we are at restaurants for about 30 minutes on average. But it was an amazing experience and the time flew by. They gave me a shawl to wear as I was a little cold. They explained each component of the entrees with expertise and suave. I loved it and would go back in a heart beat. What isn't pictured below are the 3 different types of breads and butters they gave us throughout the meal. We were stuffed by the end. Even Omar enjoyed everything
