Now it's Epcot time!
First we hit up the Festival Center because we wanted to buy some wine and have it sent to the front of the park. I also wanted to pick up our AP buttons.
Passed Universe of Energy all closed up, which was weird.
In the Festival Center we checked out the chocolate displays which are always amazing.
Moana
Pandora
Beauty and the Beast
Wreck It Ralph
OMG stop everything! It's a chocolate Hei Hei.
We got our free piece of chocolate they give out and we were off in search of real food.
We started at the Next Eats area of Future World.
We stopped at The Wine & Dine Studio where Rob and Lindsay both got the Artist Palette of Wine and Cheese which was a trio of cheese paired with wine.
They both really enjoyed this. They just love cheese pairings, so they were in heaven.
I got the Seared Scallop with truffled celery root puree, brussels sprouts, and wild mushrooms.
Amazing! The scallops were huge and delicious and I loved the mushrooms. Everything worked well together.
Next we stopped at Hawaii. Rob got the Teriyaki glazed SPAM hash with potatoes, peppers, onions and spicy mayo.
He loved this! I really wanted to try this dish, but was really not in the mood for it at that moment. I have never eaten SPAM, so I figured this wold be the time to do it, but sadly I never did try it.
I got a favorite of mine, the Kalua Pork Slider with sweet and sour pineapple chutney and spicy mayo.
Super delicious as always! I love this pork and the pineapple chutney is the perfect match to it.
So this day was unbelievably beautiful. It was 71 degrees and perfect. We stopped for a few to soak it all in.
Next is one of my favorites. No matter what festival it is, Mexico always has my favorite booth. I got the Rib Eye Taco on corn tortillas.
This was excellent and I loved the roasted chipotle sauce which had so much flavor.
I also tried the Tequila Chipotle Shrimp served on a black bean huarache with red and green cabbage, queso fresco and crema Mexicana.
The flavor of this was great but it was messy and I wasn't super fond of the huarache.
Then it was time for a ride on Gran Fiesta which I really love. I hear rumors of changing this to a Coco ride. They better not. I will riot.
Next we stopped at Brewer's Collection where Rob got the flight.
And I had to try the Schofferhofer Pomegranate Beer.
I'm so mad at myself for only getting this once. It was delicious! I love their grapefruit beer and drink it all the time at home. I hope they make this pomegranate beer available in the future.
Cheers!
Did I mention it was totally gorgeous out today?
Rob also got the wine flight in Germany, which I thought was really kind of pretty.
Next we stopped in Morocco where Rob got the white wine and it was a super hefty pour. Rob was liking Morocco!
I got the Chocolate Baklava, which was to die for! So sweet and delicious.
I mean, come on. Look at this view.
Oh hey Remy!
Then I stopped in Ireland for the Warm Chocolate Pudding once again. You have to get it every time. It's F&W law.
Then we all stopped at Canada for another Wild Mushroom Filet. Again, it's F&W law.
That is just a one, two punch of awesomeness right there. So good every time!
After that last food item we did a few rides and then we called it a day in the parks.
