Epcot's Food & Wine Festival (+other
Disney<3)
A coworker of mine works at both Disney and Universal and we had to meet him at
Magic Kingdom for him to get us in. So in the morning, Yvette and I went to
Tomorrowland and waited in line to meet Buzz Lightyear.
As soon as I saw Buzz Lightyear I had to take a picture with him. There was a
short line of maybe 3 kids, and as soon as I get to the front the disney worker
pulls a "Buzz lightyear has to go to the command center but will be RIGHT OUT in
a few minutes!" -------UGHHH whatevs. I waited maybe 5 minutes and then took
this picture. haha loves him.
Then we rode Space Mountain, and then Haunted
Mansion (WHICH RULES NOW BECAUSE THEY UPDATED IT WITH NEW STUFF!!) and left
Magic Kingdom to go to Animal Kingdom!
It was my first time at Animal Kingdom and we
were going to ride Everest (which I was opposed to, but Yvette wanted to)
however the wait was too long. Then I wanted do the Kilimanjaro Safari but it
was like an 80 minute wait! It was about 11:30am and I was hungryyyyyyyyyy for
the food and wine festival. and then Yvette told me the safari is actually wack
and they don't have giraffes (which is absurd) ...so we left.
And as we were leaving Animal Kingdom we saw
this kodak area that we couldn't resist.
THEN WE ENTERED EPCOT FOR THE 2007 FOOD & WINE FESTIVAL!!!!!!!!
Argentina : Spicy Beef Empanada, Grilled Beef with Chimichurri Sauce, Dulce de
Leche
(the grilled beef with chimichurri sauce was sosososo good)
Mexico : Quesadilla con Chorizo, margaritas!
Spain : Papas con Chorizo
China : Pork Pot Stickers (mmmm I cannot
resist)
South Africa : Durban Spiced Chicken on a
Skewer (mmm)
Italy : Lasagna Al Forno (with spinach pasta?
it was delicioso)
When we were in France we met Dopey and the worst looking Snow White ever. Dopey
was pretty tight. We were making fun of Snow White's hand pose she did in
everyone else's picture.
We took a quick break from all the eating..it gets tiring you know..all that
delicious worldy cuisine.
Yvette said that Australian food is the best
every year, but this was my first F&WFestival, and we both agreed that the
Australian food was a let down.
Australia : Shrimp on the Barbie, Lamb Chop with Caramelized Onions (shrimp was
bland, lamb chop was tiny for $4 and I expressed how small it was and the chef
was from Puerto Rico and Yvette is Puerto Rican so we made a big deal of him
being from Puerto Rico, and then he gave us an extra lamb chop, thats why there
are 2. haha)
Dominican Republic : Mofungo (no bueno)
I've had Dominican food before and it is delicious...but this mofungo thing was
wack.
Japan : Japanese Curry, Teriyaki Chicken, Udon noodles
Other countries that were visited but we ate food and didn't photograph :
Poland : Kielbasa and Potato Pierogies (mmMM!M!MM!)
Ireland : Bunratty Meade Honey Wine (I hate wine but Yvette loved it)
France : Lemon Tart and Creme Brulee (mmmmmmmm)
Hops & Barley Market : New England Crab Cake with Barley-Lentil Salad, Boston
Lager Glazed Chicken Drum (This was in the America area, and was totally
delicious)
Canada : Canadian Cheddar Cheese Soup
The night before we went to see BAYSIDE at The Social. It was such a good show.
Go see Bayside when they come to your area!
FIN.
