Well, I am so sorry to read of your ankle issues and even sorrier you have to cancel this recent trip! Your trips are a joy to read and it`s evident how much you enjoy them.....but you`re being a very good girl doing as your told by the medics. Fingers crossed it heals quickly and you`re back to normal as soon as possible.

Hi Everyone!
I wanted to put in a little RL update!
I saw the foot and ankle specialist on Monday. I have a peroneal tendon injury! It is a common runners injury. I do not run, even for my favorite food!

I do walk about 3-4 miles every day so could be from that. Who knows, anyways it sucks.
I need to keep it immobilized in a big old boot for 1 month and I am on a prescription strength anti-inflammatory. I have to say the pain is improving now!
I also have to wear my orthotics at all times from now on.
I was sternly told no traveling right now or this maybe a problem for a lot longer.

I think you all know where this is going! No 50th celebration for me! I canceled our late September trip.
I’m sad but what can you do, things happen and I have been lucky to have 3 Disney trips so far this year!
My sister is actually relieved she was having doubts about traveling with the current P situation. I hate that word. I have to say it and the stupid virus name at work all day long so no I refuse to mention it here!
She is not use to wearing a mask all day like I am and she was not wanting to do this!
We have decided to try next year around this time so we can do HHN at Universal! She loves Halloween

Right now Andi and I plan to travel to Disney in late January, March, and Fall. The positive is Andi will come with us next year at this time.
I have some cool 50th dresses and shirts, I will have to wear those in January!
I am happy to see Dessert Parties returning and I will definitely plan one of those for January and fall!

Our best meal of the trip and it was on sale!
We had a 5pm reservation at Jaleo. We were really looking forward to this meal. I had read so many wonderful reviews on here about this place. This meal was amazing, we did the 5 course Orlando magical dining special. I had no idea this was going on and it worked great for us. We had 5 different tapas each and we shared everything. We also went with the 1/2 pitcher of the house made white sangria. This was very tasty.
Chicken croquettes yum

These tasted like chicken dumplings in a croquette, it reminded me of my grandmother’s chicken and dumpling soup, it was like in the movie Ratatouille when the food critic has his childhood memory, this was me!!
Jose Andres talks about these croquettes invoking memories for him and I get it! He would put his boots on the table when he was small and get scolded so when he started his restaurant businesses he would serve the croquettes on a boot. He thought a pillow like the one for Cinderella’s shoe was perfect to present these at DS!
Tomato bread with manchego cheese yum

This was simple but so tasty with the fresh tomato and the perfect cheese to compliment.
Watermelon tomato with balsamic yum
Salad with tomatoes, olives, purple onion yum
View attachment 607156
I loved both of these, the salad was so tasty with the olives, fresh crunchy lettuce and tomatoes. The watermelon bites with the balsamic were very refreshing!
Garlic mushrooms yum
Potatoes with aioli yum
View attachment 607157
These 2 courses were so delicious. I love mushrooms, these did not disappoint very flavorful and the potatoes oh my, crisp outside soft inside and the aioli was devine.
Garlic shrimp yum

Shrimp in a garlicky butter what is not to like!
Paella chicken and mushroom yum
View attachment 607158
Andi loved this, I liked it but the spice flavors were a little smoky and strong for me.
Flan yum
Chocolate mousse yum

Perfect desserts after our wonderful meal!
We were so happy with this meal and the 5 courses for each of us was 37.00 a piece. This price was amazing because we tried so many tasty things. Our sangria cost as much as one of the meals. We were so happy after this meal. I highly recommend trying Jaleo! You will not be disappointed! My favorites of the tapas were the chicken croquettes, salad, mushrooms, and the potatoes! Oh my so delicious! All the other tapas were a close second, including both desserts! The flan was my favorite of the desserts.
We were quite pleased and both decided this was our favorite meal so far and it did keep that top spot the rest of the week! I highly recommend trying Jaleo! You will not be disappointed!
Our meal was paced perfectly and our waiter was so informative and all around very nice. He made the time for you and always checked back to see how things were going. I am a true fan of this place now!
We decided to put our name in at Gideon’s and while we waited we had the delicious Dolewhip Frozcato from Winebar George.

We sat at the upstairs bar and we looked like little kids at the bar, it was high and the chairs low, lol

Check out the mask holder we had from our friend Melinda @pepperandchips, these were so handy and worked well!
We got our text from Gideon’s and took the last of our drinks to go.
We had to wait about 10 minutes to get in and once inside we went with 1 double chocolate chip, 2 chocolate chip and one pistachio toffee cookie.

My ankle was throbbing at this point despite the alcohol so we headed back to the resort. We missed our bus of course but we only waited about 15 minutes for the next one.
We relaxed and I put some ice on my foot and ankle. We watched tv, relaxed and went to sleep around 11pm. Stay tuned for our next park day!
Do you think there are more animals in this park than people?
Food looks lovely there.......garlic shrimp....oh yes!!! And we really do need to vist Winebar George one day.......
Your pictures are as always lovely, and enjoying reading along with this one too.....
