WE JUST RETURNED FROM OUT TRIP TO THE WORLD AND I WANTED TO BRIEFLY SHARE OUR EXPERIENCE.
ONLY BAD THING TO SAY - TOO HOOOOOTTTTT. LAST WEEK WAS A RECORD BREAKER IN THE ORLANDO/KISSIMEE AREA. COMING FROM NEW JERSEY'S 50 AND 60 DEGREE WEATHER TO A WEEK OF MID TO UPPER 90 DEGREE WEATHER WAS A BIG SHOCK TO OUR SYSTEMS. WE DID, HOWEVER, MANAGE TO HAVE SOME FUN.
WE CHECKED IN TO SSR USING THE ONLINE CHECK IN AND IT WENT VERY WELL. WHEN WE GOT THERE SEVERAL FOLKS WERS IN LINE AT THE OTHER AREAS TO CHECK IN AND ONLY 1 WAS AHEAD OF US AT THE ONLINE COUNTER. WE WERE ON OUR WAY TO OUR ROOM IN LESS THAN 5 MINUTES.
OUR STAY WAS IN THE GRANDSTAND AND IT IS A BEAUTIFUL AREA. OUR ROOM WAS RIGHT ON THE GOLF COURSE AND VERY NICE INDEED. THE GRANDSTAND POOL AREA WAS A SHORT WALK ACROOS THE WAY AND THE BUS STOP WAS ALSO QUITE CLOSE.
THE MAIN POOL, TURF CLUB RESTAURANT AND THE ARTIST PALETTE ON THE OTHER HAND WERE QUITE A WALK AWAY. NOT A PROBLEM FOR US AS WE HAD A CAR AND WEREN'T INCLINED TO WALK THAT FAR IN THE HEAT ANYWAY. THOSE WHO ARE HOOFING IT WOULD WANT TO STAY IN SPRINGS SECTION TO BE CLOSER TO THE MAIN AREA THOUGH.
wE ATE IN SEVERAL RESTAURANTS (FOOD IS MY THING) AND ENJOYED THEM ALL FAIRLY WELL.
MOST OF OUR TIME WAS SPENT IN DOWNTOWN DISNEY SO WE MIGHT HAVE BEEN BETTER OFF IN CONGRESS OR AN AREA CLOSER TO DOWNTOWN. bUT WE LIKED THE IDEA OF BEING THE FIRST STOP WHEN USING THE BUSES. FIRST IN AND FIRST OUT. NOT BAD.
WE WENT TO THE PARKS IN THE MORNING AND BECAUSE OF THE HEAT WE RETURNED AFTER ONLY A SHORT WHILE TO THE RESORT. CAUGHT OUR BREATHES AND RELAXED IN THE AIRCONDITIONING BEFORE VENTURING OUT AGAIN TO WHATEVER TARGET WE HAD PLANNED. THE WIFE'S IDEA OF FUN WAS SHOPPING DOWNTOWN. i TOLD HER NEXT TIME NO DOWNTOWN
wE FOUND THE PORTABELLO RESTAURANT TO BE VERY GOOD. THE VEAL CHOP MILANESE WAS EXCELLENT AS WAS THE RAVIOLI. WIFEY HAD IT BOTH TIMES WE WENT THERE. ONE NIGHT WE DINED WITH 3 OTHERS IN OUR PARTY AND 4 OF THE 5 FOLKS HAD THE RAVIOLI AND NO ONE COMPLAINED.
WE ATE AT CAP'N JACK'S ONE NIGHT AND THAT WASN'T BAD EITHER. NOT MUCH MORE THAN STANDARD FARE THERE THOUGH.
WE LUNCHED AT TURF CLUB THE DAY WE ARRIVED IN SSR AND FOUND IT TO BE QUITE GOOD. SO GOOD IN FACT THAT WE RETURNED FOR DINNER A FEW DAYS LATER. DW HAD PRIME RIB WHICH SHE SAID WAS VERY GOOD AND I THOROUGHLY ENJOYED A NY STRIP STEAK.
ON SATURDAY NIGHT WE STAYED AT THE DOLPHIN AND HAD LUNCH AND DINNER IN THE RESTAURANTS IN THE DOLPHIN AND THE SWAN. LUNCH WAS AT THE FOUNTAIN AND WAS VERY GOOD. MY TUNA MELT WAS SUPERB AND I COULDN'T FINISH IT (AND THAT WAS A SURPRISE TO ME AND MY WIFE). DW HAD A BLT SANDWICH WHICH SHE SAID WAS THE BEST SHE'S HAD IN A LONG TIME. (SHE DIDN'T FINISH HERS EITHER).
DINNER ON SATURDAY EVENING WAS A REAL TREAT.
WE HAD DINNER AT IL MULINO IN THE SWAN AND I'LL GIVE THIS RESTAURANT 5 OUT OF 4 STARS. THE FOOD AND SERVICE WERE SUPERB. OUR PLATES WERE CLEANED. i DON'T THINK THEY HAD TO WASH THE DISHES AFTERWARD
I THOROUGHLY ENJOYED A CEASAR SALAD AND RED SNAPPER FOR DINNER WHICH COULD NOT HAVE BEEN BETTER. DW HAD SEARED SCALLOPS AND THEY TOO WERE AWESOME. PRICEY AND NO DISCOUNTS AT ANY SIGNATURE RESTAURANTS IN THE SWAN AND DOLPHIN BUT I COULDN'T COMPLAIN.
IN ALL THE TRIP WENT WELL BUT IT'S GOOD TO BE OUT OF THE HEAT.
