I really thought this resort was so neat.

We stopped for another bathroom break and also checked out some shops.

And then we went back to the bus which was taking us to City Walk. Tonight the groups were being divided to eat at different restaurants in City Walk. We were told we were going to Pat O’Briens. I know some people who love this place and go yearly…so that sounded good.

We were seated and we looked at the menu….you have got to be kidding me. I thought this place was Irish food. Nope…it’s Cajun. I really was not ready to eat Cajun food a second night in a row. I looked at the options and I really was at a loss. Several others were feeling the same way. It’s Ok to have once in a while, but 2 nights in a row was a bit much. Patty and I seriously talked about heading to get pizza.
Lidia said she was ordering some appetizers for the table. We were all using the dining plan tonight, but appetizers are separate, so that was really nice of her.

They were actually pretty normal and I liked most of what was on the plates.

For my entrée I ordered some steak medallions. They were to have something cajun on top of them and I asked for it not to be there. I basically made the dish as American boring as I could. LOL.

And it was delicious!

A couple girls got some specialty drinks…I believe they were hurricanes.

We then started taking funny pictures of ourselves and messaging them to each other. We were laughing hysterically over something so stupid.

And today was Wendy’s b-day so they sang Happy Birthday to her.

We all were given the same dessert. Something I did not realize was part of their dining plan. I thought you could choose what you wanted, but they made it sound like it’s a Chef Specialty each night on what you get. I think it was some kind of chocolate cake type thing and ice-cream if I remember right. It was good, however the menu had benets and that is what I really wanted.

I was pleasantly surprised with all my food and it was much better than I thought it would be. I really expected myself heading off to get food after, but what I got was perfect for me and pretty much all of us agreed that it worked out fine.

Now one of the gals I follow on Passporter’s, Cheryl, was visiting Orlando and we had some contact on a potential meeting. Tonight was the night we had talked about meeting up if possible. We both had very busy schedules so we knew ahead of time it may not work out. Our meal was going pretty slow, but we were having a good time. I am not sure if service is normally slow here or if it was just made that way since we were in no hurry to leave. Our server was excellent by the way. Our main courses had not even come out yet and I remember thinking to myself that there was a good chance I would not be able to meet up with Cheryl. Not long after that, Cheryl messaged me and said they were done with their dinner at Portifino and just too tired to head to City Walk so it wasn’t going to work out. I told her we were still at dinner and totally understood as it probably wasn’t going to work out on my end either. Later, when I was reading her trip report, I found out that they were literally arriving at Portifino about the same time we were leaving. We just missed each other. I racked my brain to think if we may have passed by each other, but I am pretty sure we never got that close to each other. By my figures I was probably getting on the bus the moment they were arriving. Such a bummer!!!!
