Sunday September 12th.
We had already decided that this would be our second resort/pool day and when I woke up I still felt that was a good decision so that is what we did!
I woke up fairly early and I think we were at the quiet pool around 9ish. We brought laundry to do again, with no meltdowns so that was improvement from the last time we did laundry.
Marc was kind enough to walk to the food court to get us some breakfast to share.
At some point in the morning we decided that we wanted to make an ADR for dinner. We knew we wanted to try another Signature resturant, so I called from the poolside and we snagged Artist Point at Wilderness Lodge.
I also used my womanly skills to talk Marc into taking another taxi.
We were supposed to meet up with MEK and her friend to view Wishes from the Bay Lake Tower lounge and at somepoint during the day we decided that we were just too tired and that after dinner we wanted the option of going into a park or just coming back to the room to relax. I texted her and she completely understood, we made plans to meet up at
MNSSHP on Tuesday night instead.
I'm not sure what time we went back to the room, but we did at somepoint. We took showers and naps. I fell asleep on my wet hair so please excuse my hideous hair for the rest of the day.
After we napped, we caught our taxi and headed to the Wilderness Lodge. Marc took these pictures.
We were able to snag a nice table with an umbrella and we spent most of the morning just relaxing, reading, soaking up the rays and swimming. It was truly delightful.
We looked in the gift shop and I think I bought a few pins for my co-worker. I also traded at the pin cart. I love it when they have those giant pin trading books. So much fun. I made the mistake of trading pins with the DVC guy and got the spiel again.
We checked in at Artist Point and were sat as soon as they opened.
Our bread & butter. I skipped this, Marc said it was delicious.
We took pictures of each other.
We ordered the cheese plate again since it worked so well at Flying Fish and I ordered the portobello mushroom soup.
The cheese plate was excellent, not quite as good as Flying Fish but we both loved it.
I'll be honest. I didn't like the soup. The first bite was good but then the color and texture got me. It was like eating cement. And to top things off, the soup made me sick, into the bathroom I went. Marc loved my soup and wants to have it again.
I also ordered a side of the sweet potato hazelnut gratin. I did not love this either. I thought the sweet potatoes would be softer, they were on the harder side. Marc did like this. He took my leftovers home.
Marc ordered the Pan-seared Halibut with Dungeness Crab risotto and blood orange sauce. He LOVED this meal. He still raves about it.
At our Artist Point meal, I had to go to the bathroom three times to be sick. It just didnt' agree with me but I can say, it is a lovely bathroom! Very pretty.
After having a hard time to eat, I wasn't feeling going to a park and I was glad we had already rescheduled with MEK. We hailed another taxi and headed back to Riverside.
I will say that I'd give Artist Point another try. I would have the cheese plate again and I think I'd order the fish Marc got. I think I had a bite and I remember it being good or Marc could have just talked about it so much I think I had a bite. I'd also like to try the goat cheese tart with huckleberry ice cream they have on their dessert menu. Sounds yummy.
We stopped at the gift shop. Isn't he cute?
I think I bought some mashed potatoes and corn at the food court to take back to the room with me to eat. They were delicious.
Once were settled back in our room a violent lightening/thunder storm came through. Marc took pictures. They are blurry but you can see how dark it was and then the next picture the entire sky was lit up. It was crazy loud! I was glad that we stayed at the resort instead of trying to see the fireworks, it worked out well.
Marc got this for dessert.
Coming up...
We are eating there again?
