Sundays are for eating - Part 1

Again, we were able to sleep in. 

Our ADR was only for 10.50, so we had a very lazy early morning, before we got dressed and headed down to the car to drive over to the Contemporary Resort.

It’s just a short 15 minute drive and soon we made it past the main entrance and over to the hotels. Since Valet parking is included in the price of Brunch at the Top, we drove right up and had a valet park our ride. 

We then went up to the second floor and checked in. 

We were a little early, but were immediately taken up to the restaurant, where we were pretty sure we would have to wait a while until our ADR time, but no such thing. 

When we got off the elevator a greeter was already waiting and took us to our table. And while we passed the bar, we were invited to pick up a glass of 

Sparkling Wine with some orange pearls in it and we happily obliged.  We had just made ourselves comfortable at our table when our server introduced himself and asked what we wanted to drink. 

And very soon we were served 

coffee and 

tea and told to serve ourselves at the buffet, but not before we had put in our order for our main course. 

Since we pretty much knew what we wanted we placed our order and then walked over to the buffet. I took some photos, then went back and picked up a plate. There are so many yummy options, like the 

House-made Charcuterie, which includes orange-honey ham, bison and sweetbread terrine, pork belly rillettes, whole-grain mustard,

 cheeses, 

Zellwood pickles, pickled Pero Farms peppers, sweet onion jam, 

Deviled Lake Meadow Farms Eggs, with crispy lardons, spiced aioli, 

Greek yogurt, with cocoa quinoa granola, mixed berries, honeycomb,

Scotch Cured Salmon and Smoked Fish Dip, capers, egg, red onion, Soba Noodle Saladamazu-ginger vinaigrette, 

Bacon and Egg Salad, greens, frisee, quinoa, avocado, cherry wood bacon lardon, pecorino romano, 

Peach Salad, California peaches, field greens, pickled onions, roasted cherry vinaigrette, 

California rolls ,with jumbo lump crabmeat, 

Salmon, Tuna, Shrimp Nigiri selections, Spicy tuna Tekka Maki rolls , 

Shrimp tempura with orange drizzle and mango, 

Bacon and Onion Quiche arugula, gruyere, truffle vinaigrette but I went for the old favourites, which I so had been looking forward to. 

Soon we both had a plate full of food and headed back to our table. 

I put my plate on the table and went to get some 

cheesy roll, chocolate croissants and 

butter, while Tom sat down and poured the tea and coffee. I had just sat down, when a food runner came by to serve our main courses. 

Well, no, I haven’t had my buffet food yet and for $90+ dollars a head I won’t be rushed. 

So I had to tell her to hold the mains until we were finished with the plate in front of us. 

Didn’t take long for our server to come by and apologize for the early mains and they would make new entrees once we were done with our first course. 

t did take us a little while to work through our first plates, but as soon as we were done, they were whisked away and within a few minutes, new delicious entrees were served. 

Tom had ordered the 

Bison Burger, house-made brioche bun, Neuske's bacon, fried egg, truffle onion jam and dill pickle-seasoned waffle fries. It was a huge portion, but it was delicious. Being a creature of habit, I had ordered my all time favourite, the 

Lobster Eggs Benedict, two soft-poached eggs, toasted English muffin, classic Hollandaise; also and butter poached Maine lobster. What’s not to like, especially when more glasses of the bubbly kept arriving. 

The restaurant was pretty busy and it looked fully booked, with tables being filled again as soon as guests left, but we still needed a little more time as there is a dessert station where they prepare a dessert to order. 

We have never been able to try as we were always way too full, but today we were determined to try. 

So as soon as we both were finished we walked over and got the 

Bourbon Baba, yummy cake soaked in hot Bourbon, served with Vanilla ice-cream and a cornflake, walnut crumble. 

Boy, this was yummy, but we were getting way too full. 

So, when the 

Mini-desserts were brought out, we asked for them to be boxed up, so we could take them with us. 

And with the boxed desserts the server brought out the bill. We paid with some of our Disney Dining Plan credits and left a cash tip before we wobbled towards the elevator. 

We went down to the forth floor as we wanted to look around the shops. 

There were a lot of fun things to look at, so it took us quite some time until we were finally able to head down to Valet to pick up our car again. 

It took a while and while we were waiting we saw the cutest DVC van waiting for some guests. 

And soon after we got into our own car and off we went back to Pop Century. Got into some more comfortable clothes and rested for a while, especially since it was now raining cats and dogs.
