How many cocktails are too many cocktails???
We were both happy to stretch out in the room and relax after all the fun in MK. We planned to meet Irene and Evan at Geyser Point at 6:00 so this gave us a bit of time to relax. After a while we decided to get ready....a quick shower and full costume change and we were on our way. We decided to grab a Lyft over to the Lodge and had no issues being admitted at the gate after telling the guard we were heading to Geyser Point. Of course we had to go through the main lobby to see the best tree at Disney!
We were happy to see there was a photopass photographer by the tree and had a fun impromptu photoshoot!
We had to do the classic ears shot!
We loved the classic "Joy" sign as well. After all what inspires joy more than being in Disney at Christmas!
We headed over to meet Irene and Evan who were waiting at Geyser Point. It was SO packed there this evening and we were told it would be at least an 1/2 hour wait. I guess the word is out about Geyser Point! So we bailed on Geyser and headed into the Territory Lounge. Evan scoped out a table for 4 and we nabbed it before anyone else did. I went for the Northwoods (Bulleit Rye Whiskey | House-made Rosemary Syrup | Citrus Juices | Maple).
I am afraid we were too busy chatting and having fun to take notes but I did manage to snag a picture of me and Irene thanks to Caroline.

After finishing up our first round we decided to head off to the boat dock and take the launch over to the Contemporary. It is wonderful to have the blue flag launch back again! Steakhouse 71 Lounge was our destination and it was incredible. I went for the Last Concourse (Fords Gin, Lemon Juice, Raspberry, Sage) while Caroline had the French 71 (Courvoisier VS Cognac, Prosecco, Pear Nectar, Agave Syrup, Lemon Juice). She wasn't as keen on her choice so we traded.
We also went for appies here picking their top 4.

We went upstairs to browse the gift shop and check out the Gingerbread display before heading on the monorail to the Polynesian!
