When I last left you, we were heading to Epcot! (Of course!!)
We went first to pretty much Wingnut's favorite location on the planet: "The Soda Place".
He happily sampled the sodas, and I had my usual cup of Kinley (no, I don't even try the others anymore!).
We then headed out to enjoy the sights and sounds (and tastes!) of the Food and Wine Festival!!
I think I chose my "Watermelon Patch Camouflage" outfit pretty well, don't you?
And then a completely random couple came over and posed for a picture.
Just kidding...readers, meet my parents!
(Those of you that read my "PTR" may remember that they were joining us for our trip...well actually more accurately, we were joining them on theirs - they had had their trip booked way before ours!)
They had just arrived that day as well, and since the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, were at Epcot for their first park of the trip too.
We chatted for a bit, and then ventured off, they headed towards Canada, and we decided to take the Mexico route. We strolled along until a food booth piqued our interest, which, admittedly, did not take very long at all.
Here we have the Seared Filet of Beef with Smashed Sweet Potatoes and Braai Sauce (2 of them actually, we're bad at sharing), and one Spinach and Paneer Cheese Pocket.
The beef was really good, surprisingly a nice portion-size. The Braai sauce had a little kick to it, which was especially good with the sweet potatoes. We loved this, and were glad DF had the forethought to order two of them!
The spinach and cheese pocket was also excellent, it had a nice crispy outside and was stuffed full of cheese and spinach. Wingnut talked about this for days afterwards.
We didn't want to eat too much at the booths, since we had a dinner ADR at Rose and Crown that evening, but we couldn't resist just one more booth for the day.
Here we chose to share the Roast Bratwurst in a Pretzel Roll.
It was a bit tricky trying to juggle the camera and the food, so all you guys get is a pretty pathetic shot of it almost gone.
(I even tried to hold it at an angle where it would disguise how much I had already eaten. Because that clearly worked.
)
Have I mentioned that I love Epcot? Because I really really do.
We stopped in Japan so DF could get a shirt that he had seen during our last trip that he really wanted (an old Godzilla print that I can't even begin to explain but believe me, he was thrilled with it) and he got me a little surprise while I was waiting for him to pay.
It's supposed to signify wisdom. I named him Hoot.
We then hung out and watched the drummers for a bit.
More Epcot scenery.
I know my photos don't really show it, but Epcot was pretty busy that day - this one shows the crowds more.

Everyone was sticking to the main path (closer to the eats!), so we took a break and looped around Canada.
I feel like I may have mentioned this recently, but I really do love Epcot.
***CONTINUED IN NEXT POST***
Joining in here! I remember you from when I was more active on the boards, so I thought I would follow along. Your Fiance sounds hilarious and the two of you seem to compliment each other well. I love the banana trick! Planning a Disney wedding is so exciting!! DH and I did that 2 years ago - best day of my life. Looking forward to reading more!
have a lovely Thanksgiving...
Just kidding!
