Stringbean, back at the helm!
Goofy's Candy Company was probably the most anticipated stop of our trip. Seriously, I'm not sure that one treat has had so much buildup. Ever.
More backstory:
So this past winter, spring, and summer was a fairly stressful onslaught of doctors visits, medical tests, and that crinkly examining room table paper. (Nothing says you're in a doctors office more than sitting on crinkly paper.) These tests usually involved a lot of lying still while my heart and thyroid (yes, it decided to join the fray at one point) were being photographed and listened to in various forms.
During these tests, I would sometimes play Disney music in my head (Illuminations, Splash Mountain, Wishes, etc), but more often I would play games, usually "What Treat From Goofy's Candy Company Would I Get Today?"
You would be surprised how distracting this can be. Seriously.
"Marshmallows, dipped in dark chocolate, with Oreo crumbs, drizzled in white chocolate."
"3 pretzel rods (I would pick this option particularly during longer tests), one with white chocolate, mini M&M's, drizzled in caramel (this was still an option a few months ago); one with milk chocolate, Oreo crumbs, and dark chocolate drizzle; and one with dark chocolate, coconut, and caramel drizzle."
Et cetera.
Wingnut would even start to ask me what I would choose that day. It became a game of sweet, sugary distraction, whose brainstorming would pay off on our eventual trip.
And now that day had arrived. We entered Goofy's, first playing with the fun mirrors.
Wingnut and I then began making the treat choices together.
(Also, hi, my name is Sara )
Rice Krispy Treat. Milk Chocolate Dip.
Mini M&M's.
White Chocolate Drizzle.
So how was it???
It tasted like sweet, sweet victory.
