Day 5: The Not-Quite-President's-Day Trip Report

Contemporary Check Out Day confused

BUT

Wilderness Lodge Check In Day biggrin

We got up this morning, and, just to prove how tired we were, we skipped our 7:20AM Chef Mickey's breakfast and slept in (yes...Chef Mickey's is right downstairs and we skipped it--but I did take some pictures from above).

Even sleeping in for an hour, we still got to DHS for opening, rode RnR and ToT, got an FP for TSM, then went on RnR again.

We went to check in at WL and luckily got a room that was ready, because the phone rang with work issues the minute we walked in the door! Work issues handled, we went BACK over to the Epcot resort area for lunch at Beaches and Cream (we do love that place).

From there, it was back to DHS to ride TSM with our fastpass, and, of course, take a few more spins on RnR and ToT. We headed back to WL for our daily workout before getting ready for dinner downstairs at Artist Point. I really like the WL gym facilities, by the way; the room is large and airy, there's plenty of room for all of the equipment, and it's right next to the Villas pool if you like to get in a quick swim after your run. And it's in the Villas section of the resort, which I personally love.

At Artist Point the venison Spring Rolls were lovely, as was the pork chop and berry cobbler. The cheese plate and Buffalo short ribs with potato parsnip gratin weren't up to snuff in our opinion. Though we did enjoy eating there, we probably won't go back again and again.

laugh Usually it can't! But this one just wasn't doing it for me. I can't remember exactly why now, but it very possibly had something to do with extra strong cheeses and not enough honey. yuck

I'm not sure how I feel about Pumpkin mash.
