I wish Disney would offer this for the Epcot Festivals. The deal is buy the card for $120.00 and the value is $150.00.
They used to offer something like that at Epcot F&W, and you could use the tabs towards alcoholic beverages. We still have the Sip & Savor pass in CA, but it's only good towards food items. I don't buy them anymore because you have to eat eight different items, and I usually end up with tabs left. I heard this year they tried virtual tabs.
So if you have ever wondered if spending a little more to stay at a Premier resort here is worth it, yes it definitely is! Andi and I get unlimited EP for 4 days and our room was around $350.00 a night! I hope Universal keeps this perk in place!
I have never wondered! If we're going to Universal we have always stayed on property.
I love Diagon Alley, it never gets old. We spent some time looking around before the crowds arrived.
I need to go back. Especially now that I'm more mobile!
We did ride Escape from Gringotts and celebrated with a hot butter beer afterwards!
I did not even know there was a hot butter beer! I've only had cold and frozen.
We browsed some more before heading out to ride The Mummy. I love Brandon Fraser especially when he was young, lol
The Mummy is a favorite movie of mine.
I have a lot of movie catching up to do. I've never seen that movie.
This ride is wild compared to Escape from Gringotts. It was rougher than the last time I rode with my sister.
Hmmm....maybe I don't need to worry about this one.
Once we finished up our adventure with ET, we wandered around The Simpson’s area. We were waiting for it to be 11:00 so we could start sampling the Mardi Gras treats!
I didn't even know that they had this going on!
Tortillas topped with chile braised shredded chicken, salsa verde, cilantro onion mix with lime crema and cotija cheese.
This was freshly made in front of us and wow it was really tasty. We both loved it.
I would probably end up picking off all the cilantro, but otherwise it sounds good.
Fried crispy chicken thigh cutlet served with mustard and a lemon wedge
This simple dish was really tasty, again made to order and the chicken was juicy and tender with a wonderful breading. The mustard and lemon really added to the dish!
This sounds absolutely delicious!
Warm pretzel with Bavarian beer cheese dip
As does this!
I had the seasoned salt and Andi had the ghost pepper one. We had to wait a little while because again making to order. These were delicious. I loved mine.
I would be with you on the salted one.
Parade Punch
el Jimador tequila, pineapple-chipotle syrup, basil syrup topped with Fanta Orange®
20 oz. Souvenir Cup 17.00
Refill 13.00
I am not a huge Fanta Orange fan but this was really good. It was very fresh tasting. I also was able to get 10% discount at each booth for the food.
I'm not sure about this....mostly the Chipotle part.
We did stop at Voodoo donuts to pick up some donuts for our room. Andi reminded me not to go overboard lol
It's hard not to go overboard there! Although I'm not a big fan of cereal covered donuts.
Wild Mushroom & Truffle - $19
truffle burrata, mozzarella, wild mushrooms, arugula, grana padano, truffle emulsion
This was delicious! The truffle burrata and emulsion gave it just the right funky flavor and the crisp arugula was a perfect addition to the truffle components.
I think I'd be OK with this one without the arugula. I guess I'm not a fan of funky greens.
Baked Eggplant Parmigiana(GS, V)- $24
layers of roasted eggplant, marinara, basil, mozzarella
I loved this, it was delicious.
I wish I could eat eggplant, but it makes me feel itchy all over.
We headed towards MIB down a side street by Tranformers and saw this big dude out! I don’t know who he is haha
I called him “Big Dude”.
Looks like a "transformer dude" to me.
JALAPEÑO MARGARITA
Don Julio Blanco Tequila, Cointreau, fresh jalapeño, lime and sour mix.
This was in a souvenir cup.
I have one of those cups, or I did. You lost me at jalapeño.
