A Leisurely Day Part 2
I had planned on a drink at the AbracadaBar but slacked on my research and didn’t realize it wasn’t open till 4 pm.
Instead we headed to Ample Hills Creamery for an ice cream flight.
I found a hidden Mickey in the mural in the store.
Here’s all the flavors that were offered.
You could get up to 6 scoops with the flight so we each picked three flavors. I got the Dark Chocolate, Chocolate Milk & Cookies and PB Wins the Cup. Mom got the Coffee Toffee Coffee, Butter Pecan Brittle and the Ooey Gooey Butter Cake.
We found a table outside and dug in. It looks like a lot of ice cream but the scoops were smaller than regular ones. It was just enough ice cream for the two of us. I liked all three of my flavors with the Dark Chocolate being my favorite and the PB Wins the Cup the least favorite (not chocolaty enough for me). Mom liked all of hers too.
After our ice cream, we hopped on the boat and rode across to the Swan and Dolphin to check them out. Neither of us had ever visited those two resorts. It was at one of these two resorts that I found the third Pluto luggage tag.
We visited the Swan first.
They had a huge chocolate display and it smelled heavenly.
Pretty lights and fountains.
Then we headed across the way to the Dolphin.
The decorations here were much brighter.
And they had the biggest poinsettia tree I have ever seen.
It was going on 4 pm when we finished with the Dolphin and I realized that we would not have time to visit the Beach and Yacht Club before our one and only Fast Pass for the day which was for 5:15 – 6:15 pm. So we caught a boat and headed straight to Epcot. We did get sidetracked in France and picked up some slushies. Lemon for me and orange for Mom.
We also made a stop in Japan for Mom to pick up another owl to replace the one that chipped when she dropped it. We took one more look at the rings at the Germany glass store but didn’t end up buying anything. Mom did buy some more wallets in China but I think those were for gifts.
We finally made it to our FP destination which was Frozen Ever After. A few line photos that I took as we walked through the FP line.
