Hello F&W
The mission tonight was F&W so once arriving we headed straight to the showcase. But like always we got stopped for some photo ops.
Now there are two types of people when it comes to the showcase those who go left and start with Mexico and those who go right and start with Canada. I would like to say that I am the first person who normally starts with Mexico, I blame it on my magnetic pull to Norway and there school bread. However tonight we were changing it up a bit. Most of our must get eats where located more to the right, so off to Canada it was!
Before we even made it to Canada we managed to loose Erin to the outpost for her must get snack every time we are in Epcot, her fake poutine, hold the cheese curds.
from there we jumped right in line for some steak and soup.
And honestly that steak was the best option for a snack credit on this whole trip
We managed to somehow get a table, but not to worry there were some trash can tables in our near future. While we were all enjoying our Canada eats, Brittany got stuck emailing her students parents.
After Canada, we wondered through the Canada pavilion to check out the new booth for the festival. One that I was looking forward too…mostly because the decorations.
And just like Canada, everyone got something here.
Kiss went with the beer flight
Erin got the cider flight, which honestly the best one here was the limoncello one. And if this wasn’t one of the first stops of many I would have grabbed one of those.
Brittany and I went with the special drink to the booth
Apple Blossom Sky: Fanta® Apple, Ginger Beer, Floodwall Apple Brandy, Burton’s Maplewood Farm Applejack Brandy Barrel Aged Syrup and Mini Marshmallows
The marshmallows were a weird touch, mostly because it didn’t really go well with a mouthful of ice
The nice thing about this set up was that they had the railings, that you would get in trouble for sitting on when you didn’t realize it was a show you had to stand for, were converted into tables.
Disney went all out for the decorations here. So while everyone was enjoying their drinks I asked Kiss to take a picture of me. Brittany noticed and yelled from across the room why I’m so photogenic and take such cute pictures. I didn’t want to be the one to always be “lets take a picture…lets take a picture” but apparently thats what I should be doing.
The night was still young, but we still had a lot of booths to knock out.
So we took our drinks and headed over to the Ireland booth. Here we decided to get one of each food offering.
Brittany got the cheese dip and it tasted like one of this sauces my father makes, Kiss and Brittany both agreed. So I would give this a 10.
Kiss got the sausage and the guinness bailey shake. The sausage was ok, brittany said it was basically breakfast sausage. Kiss loved the drink, I was pleasantly surprised by it.
But the real winner was my pick, the warm chocolate pudding. It was more of a lava cake consistency rather than a pudding. But this one of my favorite things of the night.
We managed to back track from the ireland booth. With how big this festival has gotten we went to check out the new area with all the newly built booths. First up, we stopped at Hawaii so Erin could get a fancy tiki drink. AULANI Sunrise: Vodka, DOLE® Pineapple Juice, and Grenadine
We headed down the path to the Coastal eats / Active eats little area.
Here Kiss got the crab cakes, which he said were all right (no one else was interested in trying it) And Erin got the Mac and Cheese, it had a nice spice kick to it but it wasn’t a must get.
Up next was Flavors from Fire
Kiss and Brittany had items here that they wanted to try. While they got in line Erin and I found a nice little trash can to claim.
Brittany went with the Smoked Corned Beef with Crispy Potatoes, Cheese Curds, Pickled Onions and Beer-Cheese Fondue. We liked to call this spaghetti pot roast loaded with beer cheese. It was good minus the pickled onions.
Kiss got the Charred Chimichurri Skirt Steak on a Smoked Corn Cake with Pickled Vegetable Slaw and Cilantro Aïoli. The steak was a 0 out of 10. Would not recommend. It was to chewy after eating the spaghetti pot roast. Kiss did however enjoy the corn cake and ended up throwing out the steak when no one else wanted it.
Besides the not so good food option here, he also got the Bell’s Brewery Porter, Comstock, MI which I took the opportunity to try
We decided to head back into the showcase and made our way to France.
The france line was a party. By this point the sun had gone down and Brittany brought up how humid tonight was. I didn’t really think this but the couple in front of us turned around and agreed with Brittany.
We decided to just opt for the drink here. I was tempted to get the cheese dip here, but after the cheese soup and cheese dip from Ireland I thought maybe I should slow down on my cheese intake.
All us girls got the La Passion Martini Slushy: Vodka, Grey Goose Le Citron, Cranberry and Passion Fruit Juice. 10 out of 10. As soon as we got out of line there was a line for photo pass. We couldn’t say no. But as we got in line, there Erin was spilling her drink, not once or twice but a solid three times. Should we be cutting her off? Maybe… but we didn’t!
And with clever posing one would never notice that she spilled her drink all over herself.
