Old Faithful Club – Part III (Desserts & Cordials)
After my delicious dinner at Artist Point, I went back to my room and found that the turn down service had been done while I was away.
I brought the chocolates home with me and my DH ate them. He said they were good!
I watched some T.V., including one of my favorites…
…and before long I decided it was time to check out the Old Faithful Club lounge. Here’s what I found there this time:
There were the usual chocolate chip and sugar cookies…
…and some frosted brownies.
I was excited to see these Magic Bars, something I had heard about but had never before tried.
…and also this big pan of Apple Cobbler.
I was looking forward to partaking of a few of these cordials…
Pictured from front to back were: Grand Marnier (an orange-flavored cognac liqueur), Courvoisier (a cognac that I’d heard of but have never tried), Kahlua (a coffee-flavored rum-based liqueur from Mexico), and Amarula (a cream liqueur from South Africa)
There were also the usual non-alcoholic beverages available (so I didn’t again take pictures of these), but this time I noticed the canoe serving dish which held the sweetener packets for the coffee…
Here is the plate of goodies that I took back to my room and munched on while I watched the rest of American Idol…
The apple cobbler was pretty good but I much prefer berry or peach cobbler, so I only ate a few bites of this. The brownie was also good. However, the real star of my plate was the Magic Bar. In case you are like I was and have never had this before, the “magic” in this cookie bar is created by topping a buttery layer of graham cracker crumbs with coconut flakes, semi-sweet chocolate and butterscotch chips, chopped pecans and walnuts, and multi-colored confetti sprinkles.
Oh, and I also had to have one of my favorite drinks, Kahlua and cream…
During a commercial break, I decided to make a quick trip back to the lounge to get some of this…
…and was surprised to find that they had put out some different desserts. First there were Pistachio Cakes…
I had noticed on the Artist Point dessert menu that there was a Pistachio Cheesecake. I’m not sure if this was a smaller version of that or a variation of the AP dessert, but it sure looked pretty.
While I didn’t try any of the pistachio dessert, I couldn’t possibly pass up the chance to have some of the new cobbler that they had just brought out…
Remember how I said that I much prefer berry or peach cobbler over apple? Well, they must have read my mind because this was Strawberry-Peach Cobbler…
…and I assure that it was as delicious as it looks.
Soon it was 10:00 and American Idol was over, but that wasn’t the end of the entertainment which I was able to watch from the comfort of my room. You see, though 99% of the time my room had a not particularly exciting woods view, for the other 1% the view was pretty awesome…
I had had thoughts of going to Magic Kingdom after dinner to see Wishes but decided that I didn’t want to miss out on the desserts in the CL lounge. Though the fireworks view from my room did not come close to the view I would have had in the park, I was still quite happy that I’d gotten to have my cake and eat it too.
Oh, and if you are keeping track in my Wilderness Lodge CL vs. Yacht Club CL comparison, the Wilderness Lodge was again the winner in the Desserts category.
