Lend Us a Hand!

I was part of the group that enjoyed an evening at Artist Point in the Wilderness Lodge. Even though we had Priority Seating for 8:20 pm, we had to wait for our table....well, we were a rather large sized party since there were 14 of us.

Meli writes: We were the first to arrive at Wilderness Lodge for the small group dinner at Artist's Point. We were fortunate to have stayed there in 1994 but had not been there during the holidays. The tree was beautiful and had little teepee lights on them, like the big overhead teepee fixtures featured in the lobby. It was very crowded, and there was a musical group performing.

People from our group started coming in dribs and drabs and we eventually moved from some of the big, soft chairs to the area where the spring bubbles up. Unfortunately, the animal wrangler started doing a demonstration right where we were hanging out. Eventually it was over and the crowd dissipated. There was a cool village set up and it was all made from gingerbread and other edible things! There was a port and it had The Little Mermaid theme, with both Ariel and King Triton in the water and some of the shops along the dock were named after TLM characters (Sebastian, Scuttle, etc.).

We sat in 2 adjacent tables. I got to enjoy the company of Gene and Aven Baral and Rick and Leslie Howard -- Rick's Brother and a Friend joined us also. Each table shared a huge platter of hot and cold appetizers. If you are interested in experimenting with different foods - do try there. There was plenty to eat and the fresh vegetables were outstanding!

Meli adds: It was a lovely dinner, great food, great friends, great wine (thanks!) and great fun! Karen was the first to leave as she had a date with the boys (Kenny and Sam) ;-) but we soon left after, it was getting late and we were getting tired. As we left, we notice there were only a few other people left in the restaurant, and the lobby was pretty empty, too!

Karen Writes: Barb and Deb drove us to the Wilderness Lodge. Again, I was totally astounded by how beautiful this resort is! After gawking like a tourist, and meeting *more* folks, we went to Artist's Point for dinner. I sat between my Meli-friend and John, and talked non-stop. We ate stuff I had never heard of before, and can highly recommend the salmon patty things, from the starter menu. Deb chose a magnificent wine for us white wine drinkers, and I had steak. I *always* have steak. *grin*
