Tony's Town Square

Since Doug has stayed at Meg's a lot more than I expected, I decided that once a month we would take her (and Nick if he is home) out to a nice restaurant.  She liked the idea, and we started planning where we wanted to go to in August.  The Halloween decorations had just gone up in Magic Kingdom, and I really wanted to see them.  I suggested that we look for a place near there to try and started researching different ideas.  Originally, I thought we would go to a restaurant at one of the resorts on the monorail system since I didn't think that there were any places that we would want to eat at while at Magic Kingdom.  We had been to Skipper Canteen quite a bit and I wanted something new.  As I begin reading restaurant reviews, I was surprised by how wrong I was.  There were multiple places in the park that had great menus and open reservations.  I suggested a few to Meg and Doug, and soon we had a table for the three of us for this evening at Tony's Town Square Restaurant.  

We arrived earlier than we had planned tonight which I really appreciated as we had time to look at all of the fall decorations on Main Street before we went to dinner.  They were just as festive as always with the Mickey wreaths being my favorite.  The restaurant was packed when we arrived, but we were seated within fifteen minutes of our selected time.  Tony's theming was based on the movie Lady and The Tramp.  The film wasn't any of our favorites, but we did really like all of the pictures on the wall.  We started with the garlic bread as an appetizer.  It was by far the best bread that we had ever eaten.  For dinner Meg had the vodka pasta while Doug and I each ordered the spaghetti and meatballs.  Everyone's meal was delicious.  Meg tried their tiramisu for dessert and said that it was wonderful.  Our waiter was fantastic, and we all enjoyed dinner very much.

It had just started getting dark when we walked out of Tony's which was perfect as I wanted to see the decorations in Fantasyland.  We headed there next and saw all of their character themed pumpkins which were very impressive.  My favorite Halloween decoration, however, was the windows in Liberty Square.  Every so often they would light up with Ichabod crane in the shadows drinking his evening tea.  He looked real and I could just imagine him sitting up there reading ghost stories.  What a great way to end the evening.
