Tom officiated at the 27th Commissioner's Academic Challenge at the Contemporary Hotel at Walt Disney World. We stayed at Bay Lake Tower.

Yachtsman Steakhouse

Susan was our server. They still have the roasted garlic with the bread service. Lyd had a Tanqueray Martini (8.50) and I had a rather poor Maker’s Mark Manhattan (9.25). Lyd started with Steakhouse WiAnno Oysters with Fennel-Challah Crumb, melted leeks, and horseradish custard (16). I started with the Caesar Salad (11) with crisp romaine, aged parmesan and torn Focaccia Croutons. At Susan’s suggestion, we had a bottle of Penfolds Bin 28 Kalimna Shiraz (57). Lyd had the 8-oz Center Cut Filet Mignon (41) with mashed potatoes and cabernet wine sauce, and a side of Creamed Spinach (8) in Parmigian-Reggiano and Gruyere. I had the 12-oz New York Strip (44) with Carmody Potato Gratin and Pepper-corn Brandy Sauce. After dinner, we hailed a taxi driven by Toni, from Hong Kong, for the ride back to Bay Lake Tower.
