Warning--late night snacks at the Lobby

Postby sun30265 » Thu Oct 26, 2017 11:45 am

Just returned from our 5th Pearl Adventure...great time, as usual...BUT: one night around 12:30 a.m. we had worked up some hunger pains so we walked over Lobby taco stand---only to find nobody staffing it and a large racoon up on the table eating out of the various metal containers with the meat, cheese, salsa, etc. We walked inside to tell the guy tending the lobby bar, he walked out with us and the animal had returned, and once again up on the table dining to his little heart's content. The waiter didn't seem all that alarmed---but told us we could order from inside the Pearl restaurant, which we did: two chicken tacos.

No effort to either have someone staff the taco area or to cover up the food. As we ate our tacos, another couple walked up for some outdoor tacos...bartender had gone inside, nobody staffing the taco area once again--we warned them of the dining raccoon!

We had the exact same thing happen on our last visit...only a cat.

Yes, we gave feedback to the management when we checked out.

Fair warning to all those late night diners---if the food at the lobby food stand is not covered, safe to assume you're sharing it with a local animal!

Sad that this happened twice...Pearl is go great otherwise.

Totally agree with former post. We also had the same experience last visit to Pearl.
Believe it or not another couple was feeding the raccoon....! When I warned the lady that her fingers might also become the appetizer she shot back " oh no they won't hurt anyone , they're cute " ????
I've farmed and lived in the country all my life. Raccoon's are not to be messed with. If they feel threatened they WILL attack ....and you will lose . They also carry diseases like any other wild animal. Would you befriend and feed your lunch to a sewer rat?
We love Desire .... Let's keep this wonderful vacation spot for us Wild Adults and leave the other wilds outside the resort
gates. :)

The only thing that Pearl is really missing is the late night pizza bar like they have at RM - if they added that for making the same awesome carb-laden snacks, Pearl would be completely better than RM for us! Hope they are building that into the new locations!

Curious why you say it would be better for you. Can you provide more info on why you feel that way?

We haven't been to either, have read just about all the threads on both, and are presently scheduled to arrive at DRM in Feb.
