Yay for your son coming home, Kat!
Tess - loved your slushies! Recipe, please....
Has anyone started a list of when the friendies will all be going to F&W? Because of Bob's job situation we don't have anything booked yet, but the girls have been making noises about possibly going anyway. They say we need to make plans and it is time to ask about vacations at work. So, when are y'all going??
I can't take credit for the Grey Goose Slush recipe. Ron found it in the recipe exchange here on the boards. I'll re-post it here for anyone who is interested:
Grey Goose Citron Vodka Slushie
Drink Kiosk by France, Epcot
3 cups Grey Goose Citron Vodka
1 cup *Polynesian Pleasure Lemon Frozen Drink Mix from
Florida Natural Flavours in Casselberry, FLA
Ice if making in a blender or water according to manufacturers instructions for slush machine.
Mix Vodka and Polynesian Pleasure Lemon. It helps to chill the mix before putting in a slushie machine. Add the required amount of water for your machine (generally for 1 liter alcohol you use 1 ¾ gallon or 28 cups water.)
If making in a blender use enough ice to produce the slushie effect.
* can try substituting frozen Minute Maid lemonade
Grand Marnier Orange Slush
Drink Kiosk by France, Epcot
3 cups Grand Marnier
1 cup *Orange Fruit Smoothie from
Florida Natural Flavours in Casselberry, FLA
Ice if making in a blender
Same instructions as for the Lemon Slush.
*If substituting the Orange Fruit Smoothie try for something with an orange dreamsicle taste.
We plan to order the mix mentioned in the recipes, but tried the frozen lemonade last night. I added maybe 1/8th cup of sugar to give a sweeter flavor and I have to admit, the drinks were pretty darn close in taste to those at Disney. I have also read where others use Sprite to give the slush a bit sweeter taste. I made these in the blender and used about 2/3 of a pitcher of crushed ice and blended everything until it was slushie.
We are headed to F&W from 9/30-10/8/11 and can't wait!
Have a lovely Sunday!
May in Florida is typically not as wet as we experienced. I'm sure you will fare better. That said, we had an awesome time despite the unexpected torrential downpours that lasted seven or eight days. We are definitely used to that--we've had tropical storms, hurricanes, and plain old thunderstorms during all seasons we visit. My suggestion would be, don't book a vacation when we are there--you will be good. 
) The Half Marathon is that first weekend and Diana plans to be there -- she's also thinking of bringing herBob and her 2 girls. My 2 older kids might be there for the Marathon and JD & Tori might come too!! 
Well... unless we plan to go for the entire month.
