Day 55 – Waldorf Astoria Orlando (Day 2)

Breakfast at Oscars:IMG_1463

I’m not sure if there is a better place to start our second day at Waldorf Astoria than the restaurant that created eggs benedict: Oscars. The restaurant itself is lined with windows bringing a warm sunlight into the restaurant while giving the guests a view of the amazing pool.  I savored the french toast with berries (If you like a sweet breakfast…the french toast is the way to go). In the end we were full and ready for the day’s adventures!

Waldorf Astoria Golf Club Tour:

Kyle Post, Stacey DoornbosIf I could describe Waldorf Astoria’s Golf Club course in one word it would be emaculate.  The course was built by Rees Jones who built the golf course around the natural habitat in the area.  We received a fun golf cart tour of the grounds which was beautiful!  Birds were flying over our heads as we curved in and out of many ponds found along the course. Mentioning ponds reminds me to tell you that this course is not for the faint of heart…but if you are a golfer at heart…I’m sure you’d be up for the challenge!

Lunch at Harvest Bistro:Kyle Post

Harvest Bistro is the place to go for a quick yet fresh lunch.  We stopped in and picked up sandwiches on the go, which was the perfect choice for an afternoon by the pool.  I have to be honest that all we talked about while we ate our sandwiches was how good they tasted :)

Surprise…It’s a helicoptor tour!

I would just like to say that the Waldorf Astoria out does themselves and that is a fact. Before we checked out today they said to meet them at their island by the pool for a surprise.  This was the best surprise EVER…a helicopter flew right in to the grounds and picked us up for a tour of Orlando from the skies. I still can’t believe this! I’m not sure even how to describe what this felt like…I guess I felt like the President (you know being picked up by a helicopter at our hotel and all). The best part? Any guest could set a helicopter tour up!

In the end…

The Waldorf Astoria treated us like a king and a queen.  The service is insanely amazing! The restaurants are delicious. The rooms feel like beautiful cottages. The pools are large and heated.  And the beds are so comfortable I want to buy one.

We were spoiled…just as every guest who stays in the Waldorf Astoria Orlando is…stay there and spoil yourself!

Keep up with the Waldorf Astoria by their twitter and facebook page!
