| Re: & Larry’s Semicentennial Birthday Jaunt (Day 1, Part 2 Up!) I've been waiting for this! [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] First of all, [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/birthday.gif[/img]! I thought of you last weekend (and I do admit to a tad bit of jealousy! [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]) Your room is outstanding - - and that does it, I am going concierge one day soon! And your meal at AP! Oh my! [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/yuma.gif[/img] In a little over 2 weeks, I am right there and I couldn't be more excited! [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Now, do you recommend the fixed price menu or ordering off the menu? Also, do you recommend the wine flight? [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/toast.gif[/img] Keep it coming! Jill |

| Re: & Larry’s Semicentennial Birthday Jaunt (Day 1, Part 2 Up!) [ QUOTE ] Now, do you recommend the fixed price menu or ordering off the menu? Also, do you recommend the wine flight? [/ QUOTE ] Jill, the last two times I have been to Artist Point, I have considered the fixed price menu, but just didn't think I could eat a salad with everything else. It worked out when Bob & I were there with Marti and Mike and Astrid, because I think Marti ate Astrid's salad. I haven't gotten the wine flight for about 5 years--I really like to pick something myself for each course, but it is a good way to try different wines. I am not sure about the size of the pour, however, and would ask about that first before I decided. I hope you have a great time! |

| & Larry’s Semicentennial Birthday Jaunt (Day 1, Part 3 Up!) Thursday, April 6, 2006 – Part 4, Birthday Surprise! After paying the bill at Artist Point, I headed upstairs where I am slightly ashamed to say I got a couple of cookies, a small cup of decaf, and a glass of Grand Marnier to just sit and relax over (as opposed to what I had been doing [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]).  The Old Faithful Club Room is where the beverages and food are set up, including the magic coffee machines [counterclockwise from right to left].  The apple cobbler is in the red pan down at the end--past the wines [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img].  The liqueurs and cookies are a bit hard to make out. At the very end is a refrigerator with sodas.  This is the bottled water, milk and chocolate milk. At other times, juices or lemonade and tea are in this area.  After a while I strolled to the room, where I found to my surprise that the Birthday [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/fairy2.gif[/img] had been by and left me balloons, a card signed by MM himself, and a chocolate picture of the WL! Woohoo! [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/birthday.gif[/img] [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/thewave.gif[/img]   The beds had been turned down and mints wrapped in gold with the WL logo left, together with a card that read: "We do not inherit the Earth from our Ancestors, we borrow it from our Children." [Native American Proverb] I went downstairs with the camera and took some night pictures of the courtyard. I had to make do bracing the camera because I did not have a tripod.   I came back upstairs and that was it for the day, which in and of itself was worth the trip! Coming Up: Off to Epcot |

| Re: & Larry’s Semicentennial Birthday Jaunt (Day 1, Part 3 Up!) What a fantastic way to end the evening. I would have had a hard time passing up a little nightcap myself! [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] And what a surprise you find awaiting you in your room! That Mickey Mouse is such a swell guy (well, mouse [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]). It sounds as if the day was everything you wanted it to be plus more! Thanks for the advice on the fixed price menu and the wine flight also! Jill |

| Re: & Larry’s Semicentennial Birthday Jaunt (Day 1, Part 3 Up!) Hi Larry! I'm just getting started on your TR. It sounds like you're having an awesome birthday. I love the chocolate WL picture! Have you eaten it or just kept it for the memories? Can't wait to read more! Of course, I miss WL already! Laura |

[/ QUOTE ] Laura, with the chocolate mint pieces from the turndown each night, I was not particularly tempted to eat the picture (it's really [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]), and I have not yet had a chance to show it to Bob, so it is still intact. [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] Thanks for all the Birthday wishes, everyone! Yes, the day was everything I hoped it would be--and more. But there was also more fun to come! |
