We slept in again as we did not get back from Epcot until 1:30am last night.
We decided to head to Wolfgang Puck's for lunch. Years ago, we went to Wolfgang's and were not impressed. We have not been back since, and figured we give it another shot.
We started with the tempura shrimp roll. It was good, but not spectacular. After the appetizer, my wife had the peperoni and mushroom pizza and I had the beef and gorgonzola pocket with homemade chips. Maybe we were expecting more as it is a Wolfgang Puck restaurant, but all the food was just OK.

After lunch, we drove around Orlando a bit and hit a few outlets. Since we visit WDW every year, we have noticed a disturbing trend. As Disney continues to build and offer incentives to stay on site (Magical Express, Disney Dining Plan, etc.) not to mention the planned Flamingo Crossings area, it seems the tourist type establishments (hotels, restaurants, mini golf, etc.) outside the gates of WDW have diminished greatly over the years. Half of International Drive and most of 192 are a shell of what they used to be. I have never seen so many things closed or re-purposed. I am not sure if it a good thing or a bad thing and my wife and I are always torn on whether go visit restaurants/stores outside the gates of Disney. It will be interesting to see how the area fares in ten years or so. It does make me sad a bit.
Again, it was very hot, so we decided to head back to the room to relax.
We headed to Point Orlando for dinner. We wanted to eat at BB Kings, but a band was playing that required a $10.00 cover. We were not up for listening to music and wanted a quiet dinner. We decided to try the Copper Canyon Grill. They are known for their rotisserie chicken. We started with the Fiesta Eggrolls which were an eggroll wrapper filled with chicken/corn/black beans/cheese. For our entrees, my wife ordered the chicken and ribs combo and I had the Chicken and Filet combo. Both were served with mashed potatoes and sauteed green beans. All the food was very good and we would go back.

After dinner, we headed to Downtown Disney for more shopping and ended the night with a chocolate shake and hot fudge sundae from Ghirardelli, both were very good.

After the World of Disney (how many rooms of shopping are in here?) we headed back to the room.
