Luv and I just got back from a quick 4+ day trip to our Lodge. We stayed in a studio for a change, and though we were a bit farther down the hallway than we'd hoped, the room was still wonderful and quiet. I'm uploading pics to Photobucket, so I will post pics soon. The weather was a bit cold the first day and a half, but was perfect the latter part of the visit. It was quite busy there since: a) the Disney Golf Classic was being held; b) the last weekend of the F&W was going on (one reason for our visit
); c) the F&W half-marathon was held Saturday; and d) it appeared this was a Jersey/PA week. We figured it would be crowded given that we had been on a waitlist for BLT and BWV for several months (to be closer to either the monorail or EPCOT) and neither came through. However, the parks had lots of EMHs (MK was open to 3 a.m. one night!), so we managed the crowds just fine.
We had lots of eats and drinks at the F&W, plus we were able to meet my daughter and her hubby for dinner at CG Saturday night (they live in Indialantic). Best of all, AP was again our favorite meal. It's a very meaningful place for us, but we've had some off and on again experiences the past few times. This time, we had a wonderful server and perfectly prepared dishes--the buffalo strip was tender, moist, and oh so very yummy. Apparently, they went back to a better cut of meat than they had been using in past visits. Whatever the case, it was nearly as tender as a filet mignon.
On my daily runs, I headed over to FW, and the Jones from West Monroe, LA, have staked their territory in the RV section and had just put up their Christmas decorations which were whimsical and lovely. The decorations were mostly up at MK (even the garland), but everywhere else had either not started or had very small items going up. Sadly, the Lodge had not begun any Christmas preparations. All in all, it was a most excellent, albeit short, vacation for us at our home away from home.
One last trivia question, and no fair referencing past pictures.
What are the four critters that appear on the fireplace grate at the Inglenook sitting area? Can you list them in order from the top going clockwise?
