Dinning at Victoria and Albert's in Walt Disney World was my dream for what seemed like forever. Ever since I had heard about it, I had wanted to go there.Three years ago, my then-boyfriend (now husband) and I went on our dream trip to Disney World. We had been before, but this was something really special. It was the most magical trip ever (so-far). So, I decided to splurge and take us to Victoria and Albert's!

Steevin wasn't all that interested to be honest. He was nervous he wouldn't enjoy it and would feel out of place because it might be "too fancy". But he decided he would go and try to enjoy himself for me. And he was SO glad he did. Its a meal we still talk about, to this day. If you have ever wanted to eat at Victoria and Albert's, it is worth it. I would go again in a heart beat!

We arrived at the Grand Floridian the night of our reservations and asked for directions to Victoria and Albert's. We went and checked in but I knew we were early so they had a hostess WALK us to the bar around the corner. I told a still-anxious Steein he could relax now because they had seen him and hadn't sent him home but he was still nervous. So I ordered him a Rum and Coke at the bar and I got a Gin and Tonic. We actually had a great time chatting with the bartender and another couple there. The bartender was a treat. She told us about a drink she invented called a Poison Apple and then made the couple one and gave us a little taste. Soon the hostess came back and found us and walked us back to V&A's. No buzzers here, thankyouverymuch.

Steevin's Malibu and Coke did the trick and he soon loosened up a little and was able to enjoy himself. Its really easy to feel comfortable. The wait staff is so nice and accommodating. No one is going to make you feel small for getting some crumbs on the table or like a fool for not knowing which fork to use. This is Disney. You're going to be made to feel welcome no matter how used to fine dinning you are.

 We got our personalized menus, picked what we wanted to eat and what followed was the best tasting three hours of our lives. Below is our dinner. I will have to go back in the future just to get better photos of the mouthwatering meal. But please enjoy these photos and descriptions responsibly.. I cannot be held responsible if you finish reading this and suddenly find yourself starving!

Steevin's white chocolate gelatto

My Hawaiian Kona chocolate souffle. This was heaven in my mouth! Quite literally the best dessert I have ever had the pleasure of eating!

Steevin's vanilla bean creme brûlée. He said this was the greatest thing ever.

And then this! After dinner treats and a rose. The chocolate on the right was sea salt and some sort of caramel with liqueur. SO AMAZING!

This was an incredible night with fantastic company. If you've ever wondered about going to Victoria and Albert's but weren't  sure about it, I can't say enough nice things about it. Yes, it was expensive. But I did not feel bad at all for saving up for something like this and I would do it again. There are some things in life that are worth the extravagance and this is one of them!
