Yesterday was a good day.
I’m sure I’ll write something up in more depth over here sometime in the next week, but yesterday my wife, her sister, and I went over to Epcot for the Epcot International Food & Wine Festival. This is probably one of my favorite times of year over at Epcot, second only to Christmastime itself, but not only is the weather a bit cooler so that you can actually stand outside for more than 10 minutes at a time, as if Epcot’s selection of dining establishments wasn’t already amazing enough…
So cut to the chase, we ended up eating for about 7 hours straight.
Well, make that 5 hours because I guess technically we did have to take a break around the USA (going counter-clockwise) because we just couldn’t stuff anymore! And here I amusingly thought that we’d actually make it all of the way around, but instead we barely made it halfway and then picked up a few choice favorites throughout the second half on our way out. For what it’s worth, between the three of us we were ordering just about everything at every booth that we passed, which in addition to being kind of expensive also ended up being a lot of food, even if only at a bite or two at a time!
Nonetheless, we’ve already re-evaluated our technique and have an updated plan of attack for next year – two distinct days of food’ing, preferably as far apart from one another as possible, although if we can somehow swing for an overnight at the Beach Club, I’m all for making it a whirlwind weekend of wine and some-sort-of-food-that-starts-with-a-W…
Now, I leave you today with some of the most delicious highlights from our feast – try not to drool in your keyboard because it’s even worse than soda to try and get out…
