 Hey friends today, I am hanging out at Epcot and I'm gonna be dining at a restaurant that I've never dined at before Recently I went on a food adventure around Epcot's World Showcase Eating at all the sit-down locations that are open at the moment and one of the restaurants at Epcot That's not in World Showcase is the coral reef restaurant So I decided I wanted to come out and do that and just kind of do all the restaurants at Epcot. So let's go do this as Soon as you walk in the park next to spaceship birth is the entrance to coral reef and of course that is attached To the seas with Nemo and friends So we're gonna be dining in an aquarium and we're gonna be surrounded by all types of sea life and that's really exciting They have a pretty big menu with a lot of seafood offerings and even some steaks But also they have some specialty cocktails just for the restaurant itself So I'm excited to try some of those and also they have a boozy dessert when I seen that in the menu I was like, okay, I think I've been convinced Of course after we get done eating we're gonna come over and we're gonna ride the seas with Nemo and friends and then hang out In the aquarium and look at all of the cool manatees. I love visiting the manatees here They're so awesome and just have a great time at Epcot Dinner reservations have been tricky to score recently because there's not many reservations available So the best bet is to come for lunchtime if you don't have a reservation and try to get a walk up And of course the less of the parties the easier it's to get obviously It's just my self dining. So if they have a toot up on the side then I get really lucky Looks like our table is ready But I do want to show you something really cool to the left of this wall here If you're a big fan of Epcot like old Epcot You'll remember that this attraction had a different name before finding Nemo and it was the Living Seas And take a look at this over here the Living Seas Conference Center. How awesome is that? I don't know why I think that's just so fancy. I love the old Epcot logos a Quick look at the menu and they've got shrimp cocktail creamy lobster bisque grilled vegetable skewers Oven roasted citrus marinated half chicken. Oh Shrimping grits and then also I thought I seen a 10 ounce. Oh, yeah, there it is a 10 ounce slow roasted grilled ribeye That sounds pretty delicious It's time to head on down to our table, but take a look at the waiting area and the walk into the restaurant It's so beautiful in here It is so beautiful. It's almost like you're transporting under the sea and take a look at the dining room I absolutely love it. I am gonna be dining down on the first level there Which it's kind of what you would want to ask for is a window seat or a glass seat So you're close to all the fishies, but take a look at that Look at that shark Soon as we walked in look at that come right up to the glass That's awesome. I love it Wow take a look at that somebody's in the water right now as we speak. That's really cool Look how you could be sitting right here and literally just have this view. I mean that is It's amazing. I don't even know what to say. It's like the coolest thing I've seen I'm not sitting right next to the aquarium, but I am kind of very close I'm like literally the next thing over and I really do like my feet because you get to see more than one area So you get a brighter range You can actually see multiple viewing areas and I like it. This is where I'm at Right here. Very fancy though. This place is amazing That's really cool. There's a diver in there right now and a shark just like Swam by oh, there's a hammerhead shark too. There's a lot of sharks. Wow, that's really awesome I'm not sure if they're doing this at the moment, but you used to be able to do kind of like a swimming in the seas activity Taking a quick look at the menu. I decided to go with the abyss Especially cocktail now this cocktail is just for the coral reef restaurant They also have a coral Rita. I'm gonna have to show you the the menu itself, but it looks so nice It fits perfectly well-themed Here is a quick look at the specialty cocktails They have the coral Rita and the abyss and the abyss is the one that I decided to go with because it sounded the Fancy as especially because it has sky vodka and pineapple juice. So it's probably gonna have like a tropical taste to it The color is pretty fitting as well, but now we got to try it Oh very delicious definitely taste the pineapple juice. Is that a hammerhead? I'm sorry. I keep on getting easily distracted by the fishes and the sharks and they even have a turtle in there I've seen a turtle swimming around so gracefully even I tried to catch it But it was gone before I got my camera to actually load up. I Decided on getting the 10 ounce ribeye, but I wanted to make it like a surfing turf So I went with some shrimp on the side. They didn't have any lobster I was gonna get lobster if it was there, but they didn't have any so we're gonna have steak and shrimp And I'm excited because they have loaded mashed potatoes with bacon. So it all just sounds amazing I'm skipping out on an appetizer because I know I'm gonna be getting their signature dessert here But they do offer a bread service a potato roll bread service. I like it. I can't wait to try it I love potato rolls Very good bread, you know Immediately I always think a restaurant is a little bit better when they have a bread service. I don't know why I just love bread before dinner. Oh There's that turtle he's just swimming around being the best little turtle he can be not too turtley though He doesn't want to be too turtley for the turtle club Looks like the food has arrived and it looks delicious We've got the ribeye and then we got the shrimp and the loaded potatoes This sounds and looks amazing. So I'm excited to dive in this more like a prime rib I feel like and I wish they gave some aju like that would make it perfect Wow, look how cool that is right there. I Love it This looks so so good now I don't know if I need a steak knife for this because I think I can just basically cut right through it with a butter knife Look at that pulls right apart and the mashed potatoes. Oh, yeah Perfect This looks so so good Absolutely phenomenal, I love it the mashed potatoes are some of the best mashed potatoes I've had at Walt Disney World I mean the last time I had as good as mashed potatoes as this and that was at a hometown restaurant up in Pennsylvania And I'm like I'm kind of addicted to the mashed potatoes at this point The steak is amazing and the shrimp is good, but what really really sold me now and then potatoes It also looks like a bunch of other people have joined our friend that was in the tank there earlier I see one two three three different divers in there. That's amazing Now I'm super full But I definitely saved room for dessert because like I said the dessert is the thing that I looked on the menu when I was like, okay, I got to try that and It should be coming out soon There it is the Bailey's almond and Jack Daniels mousse It sounds absolutely delicious and it comes with candied almonds and it gives you a warning that says dessert contains alcohol products Look at it. So pretty. I'm excited to dive into this Bailey's and Jack Daniel mousse Perfect combination I would say I Hate that I have to destroy these beautiful creations, but oh boy I got a little bit of everything on one bite So so good you got to make sure you get the almonds on there. That's like the most important part That was just too good much too good Look at all those sharks just swim right up to you. I Really enjoyed my Donnie experience in there. I love staring at all the sea life. It was really fun I was obsessed with trying to track down that hammerhead shark and also the turtles because I really like the turtles but the steak was phenomenal more less like a prime rib because it's a roasted rabbi and Absolutely love that mashed potatoes were by far my favorite thing there because I don't know they just had a unique taste to them and I'll never forget them again. And then of course the dessert was fabulous so so good But now we're gonna go explore around Epcot a little bit more and even ride the seas Nemo swimming out to sea My oh This can get you from this distance you can actually get sprayed It also looks like the season is only a ten minute wait Let's go explore the big blue world We're gonna hop in our shell. We are shell number 44 In the big That was such a fun relaxing ride especially after having a nice big meal It's really good to take a ride and just digest and cool off and now we are in the seas And I'll give you a look around and show you the directory, but I want to check on the manatees As you can see it is two levels on the upper level they have sea turtles sharks rays and dolphins But down here on the lower level they got the manatees the gentle sea cows. Oh Look look at there they go Oh They are so awesome majestic. I say oh He's turned over on his belly He's coming in he's doing a barrel roll Hi He waves to me. I'm sure it was just a coincidence But I said hi and he weaved his little flipper flopper at me very cool Here is another nifty little living seasign the silver engineering achievement of merit from 1987 that's very nifty now. We're gonna head back out in the future world though in a big Song really gets stuck in your head, but I like it And look what coming up on way the poo catching some butterflies and there's actually butterflies flying around here You can you can actually see him. He really is catching butterflies Hi poo Coming out and look at way the poos catching butterflies out here, and there were butterflies everywhere actually It is a very hot day out today, but every time I come to Epcot I always like to wear my Epcot spirit jersey I feel like I need to get like a lighter Epcot spirit jersey because it gets super super hot I roll up my sleeves and then they get all stretched out. I just love it though I'm gonna meet up with some friends that we're gonna hang out a world showcase probably visit some boots get something to drink Maybe some snacks a little bit later on. It's just a beautiful weekend to be here Like I said, we're gonna be joining up with some friends I'm gonna get something to drink and Actually, I'm gonna point out a really good spot that you can get some amazing cocktails and draft beers And it's right here at Regal evil smokehouse not in the restaurant, but the quick service like Bar stand on the outside amazing things Lots of cool specialty cocktails a frozen menjulipi a Tennessee lemonade and some good beers I got the bells over on American Weedale. This is gonna be pretty fancy And I ran into my friends villains and vice Cheers cheers cheers. I think the music is starting to come on at the American Gardens Amphitheater. Maybe it's epic I think it is epic. Wow We got a live show tonight folks Epic was actually really epic and if you plan on watching that show you have to get there super early they had seven thirty and eight thirty showtimes and we tried to sneak over there about seven ten and It was all booked up. You couldn't even get in there. So we were watching it from the outside Still just as good though. I absolutely loved it Since we are here in the Japan Pavilion I think I'll stop into the garden house. Maybe get myself a super dry or a Tokyo sunset or violet Lemonade or violet sake, you know how violet they can get Three different mixed drinks here the sparkling dragon Tokyo sunset and like I said before the violent sake But I'm going with the super dry Super dry. I Don't know why I absolutely love this super dry beer, but it is very delicious And now we get to hang out in Japan a little bit sun's going down. So it's gonna be a little bit dark in a little bit Now we're gonna move along and like I said look how dark it got and I think it's extra dark out right now I'm not too sure why I'm thinking I'm used to seeing the lights for the harmonious barges out here But they're not on at the moment So I'm used to just being able to see kind of like a bright light out there, but nothing I Ran into some friends on my journeys are long and it's Paul Hernandez, and he's actually a Broadway singer Oh, yeah, yeah, and you're gonna sing something right? I'm ready for PMM. Oh, I love it. Go ahead. Give me your best Let's hear it. I When they see my face and the voice keeps saying this is where I meant to be I am on my way. Oh the distance. I don't care how far If I can be strong, I know every mile We'll be worth my while And you go most anywhere to feel oh that was amazing man. Thank you. Absolutely a big why I feel so on. Thank you for that amazing. Oh How amazing was that I absolutely love it and anyone that comes up in the parks and you know, they see me I'm always honored to just talk and chitchat and when he told me he was a Broadway singer and he wanted to sing to me I was like do you want me to put it on the video because I thought that was so courageous for him And you know what he has such an amazing voice go the distance is one of my favorite songs And he's saying that I feel like so happy right now. He really made my night tonight. He was absolutely amazing Now I'm gonna head on into the Mexico Pavilion and do a little grand fiesta tour It has been a long time since I've been able to walk into the Mexico Pavilion without a wait either This is like my lucky day here After we ride the three Cabaneros I think we're gonna come out and get a drink at the La Cava the new drink that they have actually it looked really fancy So I'm definitely excited for it No way to get into the Pavilion and no way to ride the ride This is like a little shocking Here we go I'm gonna show you guys the coolest hidden Mickey I've ever seen look Mickey's in one of these windows Seriously, I love the grand fiesta tour, but now it's time to get that little special drink over at La Cava And I'm very excited for this because it is like a performance almost it's very fancy Now we're gonna have to try this magical drink, isn't that so cool how they made it okay here we go Oh, oh that's good That is good. I have to say it is a little bit pricey, but I think it's totally worth it I mean we were talking about how I don't even know if they put a mixer in there Like I said, there was four liquors one of them's Gavi gen and then like I said the passion fruit liquor the Blanco and a Mascow and plus you get a nice little glow cube a free cup and a shell so definitely worth it But it can creep up on you. So be careful Now we need to be moving along though. It's okay because our glow cubes will light the way. Is it raining? Oh, no, it really is lighting the way though It is really really raining raining and storming lots of lightning in the air Look at all this lightning Holy moly I Did not make it and now it is pouring so we're gonna make a Very awkward exit out of the park. I mean, I mean we're covered. I mean this is a Downpour so I hope you enjoyed the video I enjoyed making it by the time I leave the park my glass will be filled again. So we'll see you next time Oh boy, we're gonna have to make a run for it here, but I have Seek some shelter underneath space your bird. I don't know how long it's gonna last for though My mask will just go look at how beautiful that is though
