4 parks/1 day challenge continued! After a lovely and relaxing swim at AKL, I was ready to head back out. Soon I was on my way to Hollywood Studios and was lucky enough to catch the March of the First order as I entered the park. I was on a quest for one of my favourite snacks and made my way towards Sweet Spells for an extremely delicious carrot cake cookie.
My plan was to save this for breakfast the next morning BUT I just couldn't resist taking a small bite. Just then the rain started pouring down and I was stuck in the store for a little bit. Oh well, I might as well enjoy a bit more of my cookie waiting out the storm, right??? I polished off about 1/2 of it and of course it was everything I hoped it would be. Moist, yummy cake with creamy icing....so good! I thought I'd dash across to Anaheim Produce and stake out a table under the canopy. Of course, I needed a little snack when I was there. I noticed they had my fave Grapefruit beer but I could not justify paying $9 US for the same beer I can buy for $2.85 CDN at home. So I went for something not readily available in Canada, the Kona Longboard lager. The perfect accompaniment to my refreshing beer was a hot Mickey pretzel with cheese sauce for dipping. Mmmm, everything just tastes better when it is Mickey shaped!
I took the rest of my beer over to the theatre with me as I headed in for the "Music of Pixar Live" which was amazing!!!! I really hope they bring this show back. My next plan was to head over to Epcot and meet up with @Tracy161! We enjoyed strolling through World Showcase and had fun riding FEA. Of course we had to make time for a beverage and headed back over to France to enjoy a yummy Grey Goose slushie!
It was so fun to hang out with Tracy and chat about all things Disney. She is such a sweetheart! I had a date with Magic Kingdom next for my first viewing of HEA. This was phenomenal and I might just love it as much as Wishes......this is a huge admission for a dedicated Wishes fan like me.
After HEA I made my over to Adventureland to Aloha Isle for my last snack of the night, a Dole Whip float. This was perfect, cold, tart and so refreshing. I enjoyed the park until close at midnight, happy to have completed my 4 parks/1 day challenge!
