Day 1, Part 3: More Food and Wine!
We last left off with a shopping trip at Creations in Epcot!
After my little shopping trip, I decided to make my way around World Showcase to check out the other food booths and really just enjoy the atmosphere. It was shockingly not too packed being a Friday evening, which was a welcome surprise!
Before heading that way though I swung by Flavors from Fire to get the wine (zin I think) to enjoy while I strolled.
I made my way around World Showcase, checking out the food booths as I went, but nothing really stood out to me.
Finally, in America, I decided to stop to try something I’ve been meaning to try for years! The Moonshine Sour! Yes, I was throwing caution to the wind and getting a full size drink!
There was a pretty long line for the bar there, but it moved quickly. I got my drink and a cup of ice water since, ooph, was it hot!
Drinks in hand, I made my way to an open picnic table to enjoy and to call my mom and let her know that my stomach was holding up so far, and to tell her all about the food I tried.
Shortly after sitting, the eat to the beat concert started, so I decided to hang out there enjoying the drink and the music. The drink was so good, definitely lived up to its reputation!
By the time the concert ended I was getting pretty tired and overly hot, so I decided to head out. On the way out I swung by the store at the IG to pick up the Remy map, the Pluto’s pumpkin pursuit map, and the prizes for both.
Before making my way to the room I swung by the store at the BW and picked up some spray sunblock, and an Abracadabar shirt. Not the shirt I’ve had my eye on since last year since that seems to be gone, but a 3/4 sleeve one that is almost as cute.
Once I got back to the room, I decided I could use a swim to cool off, so I changed into my bathing suit and headed the short walk to the pool (seriously from my room it took less than a minute to get to the pool).
I had a nice swim, and spent about an hour out there just relaxing and enjoying the atmosphere.
After a while I started to get hungry, but I was also exhausted from the lack of sleep so didn’t really feel like heading back to Epcot. Instead, I opted to pick up some food at the pool bar to bring back to my room. I ended up getting the turkey sandwich, which was really good, but not quite as good as the one from the YC. I also picked up a water bottle for my mom.
Goodies in hand I made my way back to my room where I decided to eat out on my patio since it was finally starting to cool off and it was gorgeous outside.
The sunset this night was beautiful!
Once I wrapped up with my dinner, I headed in to take a shower, then spent more time organizing my luggage while watching some football.
I will note, by about 9:30 that night I was SO over hearing the bass from the pool music, I kinda wish they turned it off or at least down a bit earlier, but I know 10 is perfectly reasonable. Just when I’m tired I really like quiet.
