When I left off a looooonnnnngggg time ago DH and I were relaxing back at Poly after the KTTK tour. But soon soon it was time to get ready for dinner!
After we were ready we enjoyed a little more R&R outside on our little patio!
We decided to head to WL a little early and enjoy the surroundings of one of our favorite resorts.
So we took to monorail to MK and the boat from MK to WL. I love the boat from MK to WL!! I find it sooooo relaxing and such a pleasant trip!
We soon found ourselves walking up to dock toward the lodge. We enjoyed the surrounding and decided to head inside to The Mercantile to buy the new WL totem pole that I wanted to get MIL. She had one from our WL stay in 07 and our little guy broke it admiring Mickey.
We still had a bit of time before of 5:30 reservation so we decided to head to the bar and get a few beers to enjoy while taking in the beauty of the lodge!
We sat inside for a few minutes while I took some pics
and then decided to head outside and sit in the giant rocking chairs on the balcony/deck right off the lobby.
It was very relaxing and wonderfully nice to sit there and rock in the chairs and sip a beer! After a good 45 minutes it was time to go inside and check in for dinner at Artists Point!
We were seated right away and there were really only 2 or 3 other tables of people in restaurant. We had a wonderful waitress who quickly came and took drink order and returned with our drinks and 2 glasses of champagne with raspberries in them! Yummy!
We soon ordered our appetizers DH ordered the venison pot stickers and I ordered the mixed green salad. We enjoyed both. DH pot stickers had some sort of chilies in them that kind of overpowered the flavor of the meat but they were still good. The salad was good too, but nothing too special.
For dinner I ordered grilled pork chop and DH ordered the braised buffalo tenderloin. Both were very, very good! DH really enjoyed his buffalo and was so impressed that there was not one tiny bit if fat or gristle in the entire piece of meat. My pork chop was also very, very good! It was cooked perfectly. It was still juicy and tender and not in the least bit over or undercooked! Perfect! Not to mention the purple potato puree that accompanied the chop was absolutely delicious! I admit to be a bit taken back by the fact that the mashed potatoes on my plate, which was really what they were, were in fact purple. But, boy they were good! They kind of tasted like red potatoes, but better and more flavorful!
Again we skipped desert because there was just no way we could eat another bite!
So we settled our bill, again only for the adult beverages and were on our way to the buses to catch a bus to DTD!!
We had tickets for the 9 pm show of Cirque! At this point it was now about 7:15. We were supposed to pick up the tickets at will call at 8 and we had a very important trip to the
Lego store that we HAD to make!
We got off at the second DTD bus stop at about 7:45ish and hurried to Lego! DS and DD love legos and DS asked us to bring him back a specific lego set!
The Lego Store was, as usual, absolutely crazy busy! So DH and I split up and looked of the set! Luckily we easily found it and went to pay. The young guy at the cash register was super nice and very funny and just the kind of person who makes a trip to WDW that much more enjoyable! He was joking with the lady in front of me and I about the lego ice cube trays they have behind the counter. The lady had asked how much they were and they were some insane price like $25 for 2 ice cube trays. As neat as it would be to have lego shaped ice it wasnt worth $25! The guy was joking about the price and some of the other things like the $15 lego keychain!
After we finished up in Lego we hurried again to get to Cirque to pick up our tickets! This time we didnt hurry as fast though because my feet hurt after the KTTK earlier and hurrying wasnt working for me
We made it there a few minutes after 8 and picked up our tickets. The gentleman behind the counter instructed us that the doors would open in about 30 minutes and let us know where to go to enter at the right gate for our seats.
We decided to take a bathroom break. Of course every other women who was attending Cirque that night decided to take a bathroom break then too and I waited online for 20 minutes for the ladies room!
When I finally got back to DH after the bathroom we decided to call the kids to say goodnight! After some hugs and kisses via the phone it was time to head into Cirque!
Again, I wont tell you too much because its much better to experience it in person! DH didnt enjoy it too much. He thought it was to artsy. The last thing my DH is artsy hes a baseball and beer kinda guy. I however really enjoyed it. We sat in the lower level 6 rows from the front in what was classified as front and center seating. Would I have paided the $102 that the tickets actually cost to see the show. Thats kind of debatable. The show was excellent and soooo well put together and preformed but $102 seems like A LOT of $$$$. I would love to take MIL and DD to see it at some point. They would definitely enjoy it and it would make a very nice girls night out. But I dont think Id get those tickets! The arena is very small in comparison to what I had envisioned. I think most of the seat have a very good view!
Anyway, I definitely think that the show was good, not great. It was very enjoyable and a lot of the stunts and performances were very good and very well done. I do think its worth seeing but not worth $102 a ticket. The tickets being part of the platinum plan worked out very well for us!
After the show was over, around 11 I think, we headed for the bus stop. It was funny because that end of DTD was bustling with people walking around with drinks in their hands and having a grand time partying. But they all looked sooooooo young!!! DH and I both had the same thought but DH was braver then me and voiced his thought. He said Man, we must be getting old! LOL!!!
Soon enough we boarded a bus that we only waited about 2 minutes for and headed back to Poly for a good night sleep and late morning!
) 
wishing you a speedy recovery & good news. I know the waiting is the hardest part(didn't Tom Petty say that?).
Oh, too funny! I would have said the EXACT same thing! *gulp*!
