Week before Easter at the Fort

[proudmomof4]

I will be starting a new job on 4/22 so we decided to take a last minute trip to the Fort 3/29-4/3.

I thought the Fort and WDW as a whole would be packed but it really isn’t. I would say the Fort is at 50-60%.

There are some Spring/Easter photo ops at the campfire and bike barn.


We have had 2 dining reservations, one at Beaches and Cream and the other at Steakhouse 71. We arrived to both a little early and were seated right away. That was surprising because I thought the crowds would be insane, but we really haven’t experienced that.

I can’t speak to crowds at the parks since our annual passes are blocked. But maybe the cost of gas and the TSA staffing shortage have affected travel to WDW.

The flower gardens at the Fort are looking fabulous, I need to find out what variety of Delphinium they use.

How was the steakhouse? We went right after it changed to Steakhouse 71 and it wasn't good. I ordered a filet. I'm not sure what cut of meat it was, but it definitely wasn't a filet in the normal sense. It was also over cooked. I took a picture and showed it to the chef at our local (great) steak house and he didn't recognize what it was.

I found the pic on my phone.



Too bad. I loved The Wave. A hidden gem at the Contemporary.

We actually went for breakfast and enjoyed that.

We did lunch a few years ago and thought it was good then. We’ve never been for dinner.
