Milkshake!

While on the phone with a Disney World restaurant reservation guide one day, I was let in on a little secret. Midday meals can be kind of quiet at the resorts. It’s true. Everyone is usually at the parks during this time where it’s just as easy to grab a quick bite and keep going. But, the guide over the phone said that some of the best restaurants are located at the resorts. And while it might take a little time to take the transportation to a resort, it is usually worth the effort. Besides, he said, it can be fun to check out a different resort than the one where you are staying.

So, with that in mind, we decided to check out a restaurant at a resort that we were curious about – The Wilderness Lodge. When it was time, we grabbed a shuttle bus and headed over to this resort. I remember being in awe from the moment we walked into the lobby. Done up in an extravagant wooden log cabin feel, this resort featured floors and floors of balconies that looked down on the floor level of the main lobby.

While it had it’s own unique look, there was still a bit of Disney featured in the form of a totem pole of Disney characters. After walking around and exploring, we checked in at the Whispering Canyon Café and amused ourselves with the Lincoln Logs play table until they called our party.

My Chandler tells me that the meal was delicious. I wouldn’t know. That’s because I had discovered the “All-You-Care-to-Enjoy” milkshakes on the menu! Made with real ice cream and milk and chocolate sauce and served in a mason jar, I took a sip and immediately melted! That sip was followed by another sip and another sip and another until my glass was empty. But no worries. The waitress came around with a refill. Before I knew it, I was full, and I hadn’t touched my lunch!

Overall, it was a great experience, we saw a bit of Disney we probably wouldn’t have seen otherwise, this lunch reservation offered a good break in our day, and - most importantly - there were yummy milkshakes!
