Monday, September 18th
I had a great sleep last night. I think I mentioned how well the curtains keep the sun out in the morning. The room is black as night until I open the curtains.
I usually wake up earlier than my sister so I just do some work on my IPAD for awhile.
We were not in a hurry this morning as our older sister D was meeting us at Disney Springs at about 12:30 pm. We were going to meet at the Lime Parking garage.
In my past experience if you arrive too early you are directed to the Orange parking garage which is what I call the back of Disney Springs. I like the Lime Parking garage as it is closer to the front of Disney Springs and the World of
Disney Store etc.
We went down for a light breakfast at the Club Lounge and enjoyed taking our time.
The staff in Club Lounge are so nice. They are very kind and they keep the food refreshed and the tables clean. I had never thought of staying Club for a long period of time and this was a wonderful experience so far.
After we were done with breakfast we headed up to the room and showered and took our time getting ready. We left about noon and headed to parking garage.
We took what I call is the back way to Disney Springs. I don’t like to get up on the I4 very often. It is pretty busy most of the time. I always take Turkey Lake Road.
We arrived at the Lime parking garage at 12:30. Our sister D was there already and we were able to get a parking spot close to her. She has
scooter so we were able to help her get that out of her SUV and get it put together.
The walk to get to the elevators or escalator down to Shopping areas still have the barriers that you have to walk way out of your way to get to. This was started during Covid and needs to stop in my option. It is ridiculous. I understand having a shorter area sit aside for security check, but forcing people to walk all that distance out of way is unnecessary.
It was so good to see our older sister D. I was looking forward to a wonderful day of sister time.
My the time we had gotten down to the shopping area and looked in a couple shops my sister D was ready for lunch. It was about 1:30 pm. We did not have a reservations anywhere so we tried our luck at Chef Art Smith’s Home Comin‘ This area around the restaurants did not seem busy. So fingers were crossed.
We stopped at the podium and were told it would be about 20 minutes. That was fine with us. We had a seat and visited away and before we knew it our table was ready.
We were seated at a nice table overlooking the water. There was a big area by the window for my sister to park her scooter so it was out of the way.
I laughed as no one wanted their picture taken today as everyone was having a bad hair day. It was warm and humid out already, but the dining room was comfortable.
Before long our waitress arrived and took our drink orders. My sister D ordered a Bloody Mary and K and I had a diet soda.
I have never had any of the apps at this restaurant so we asked the waitress her opinion and she said definitely the Church Lady Deviled Eggs.
The eggs were delicious. We all enjoyed them. I’am pretty picky about deviled eggs and these passed the test.
Last year when we had visited here the waiter had told us about the option of having one piece of fried chicken instead of the full dinner option of two large chicken breast. That meal is huge and we knew it was to big for us.
We had the one chicken breast and the three sides.
Your sides are served in 3 little cast iron containers. We all had the greens and mac and cheese, my sister K had the sweet potatoes and I had fries. We each had a chicken breast.
We all had plenty of food left over. I can see a hungry teen being able to finish off the portions, but this is a nice amount of food. I don‘t like to feeling to full when I know I’am going to be walking around in the heat.
Our waitress was very attentive and kept our drinks refilled and table cleared. We had a wonderful time talking and enjoying our meal.
We stopped to use the restroom on the way out then were ready to shop.
We saw the line for Gideon‘s Bakehouse was doable so we decided to stop in. Raglan Road is right across from Gideon‘s.
