Wilderness Lodge
Wilderness Lodge Overview
02/05/09 07:57 PM
The wilderness lodge is one of the
deluxe resorts near the Magic Kingdom. It is not a Monorail a
resort but you can use a boat or bus to get to many places on
property from this resort. I personally love this resort, the lobby
is large but very warm and welcoming. You can spend hours just
sitting near the fireplace reading a book or listening to music in
a rocking chair. The water fall water starts from a little geyser
in the lobby, so you sit in front of this stream of water in the
lobby with a cocktail and just relax. The music in the lobby adds
to the theme of the resort. There are 2 pools to enjoy, one is a
family pool and the other is a quiet pool. There is plenty of
recreation in the area too.

Artist Point
01/29/09 09:04 PM
On thursday Night I had
Dinner at Artist Point. This is consider a signature restaurant for
Disney. Which means excellent food and a little on the pricey side.
This is a not a cheap dinner.
Artist Point serves specialties from the Pacific Northwest where the focus is on seafood, sirloins and game. Though menu options change seasonally, the kitchen's signature dish is a cedar plank-roasted salmon. For dessert, the chef's special creation is an Artist Point cobbler: seasonal berries and house-made black raspberry ice cream.
I would add this as a must dine restaurant. I have eaten here several times and this restaurant never disappoints.

Whispering Canyon Café

On Wednesday I had dinner
at the Whispering Canyon Café. This is NOT a quiet restaurant to
have a romantic dinner. This is a family friendly restaurant that
really caters to families. They keep the kids entertained. The food
can be family style or a la carte. If you have never eaten here I
have one tip for you, ask for the ketchup and then stnad back and
let the fun begin. I have had the meatloaf here and it is always
excellent. There is lots of napkin waving, singing, riding ponies
and just good old fashion family fun. it is a must restaurant on my
list.
