My Bride and I went to Orlando, Florida for holidays once.  She had been there before and I had never been.  While she was enchanted with the venues, all I could think of was where can I eat and more important will there be some decent wine for our lunches?  I mean when you are at the Magic Kingdom is there a chance?  I mean we could not realistically run over to the Grand Floridian for lunch.

In the world of Disney, families were everywhere and one had to learn to maneuver around all of the buggies.  Since we were not so encumbered, we could make haste in certain areas.  Most of the locations that were for food, were geared more for families, and with families, the children are royalty.  I had hoped for a more adult venue for dinner.

When we arrived and looked at the map, and after questioning some people at customer service, we decided to have lunch at Tony’s Town Square Restaurant on Main Street, U.S.A.  It was hosted by Contadina, so I joked that it would be Italian food for the American masses.  I know that it sounds a bit snarky, and I know that one should not be expecting gourmet food at an amusement park, but one can hope.  We also immediately went and book a reservation for lunch, just in case.

Tony’s Town Square Restaurant was based on the classic Disney cartoon film “Lady and the Tramp.”  In case you didn’t know the reference before you got there, you knew it upon arrival.  The references were everywhere, and I guess it was in an attempt to create romance, and it was cute.  We had a salad and a pasta dish, and if memory serves me right, we each enjoyed a glass of wine, though if we did, I can not remember the wine, but I know that if we could we did and that was our reason for having lunch there, during our day at Disney.  Afterwards my Bride was back in her childhood “It’s a Small World.”
