Food & Wine....Last Minute...AGAIN. Let's Eat! Updated: 3/9!! The End.

Okay I'm in....

Comments:

Your first night was definitely packed with fun! Epcot with little or no lines...:cloud9:

Can't wait to get on TSM.....

Food glorious food.....and some mojo going on with the light crowds!

You got some great pix!

Can't wait for more.
 
Oh, I love all of your photos of World Showcase and the Food and Wine yummies! I would have loved to try all of that Louisiana stuff -- it looks delicious! Fave photos of the bunch: you and KC trying on Moroccan headgear! :rotfl:
 
Great update! It looks like you succeeded in slowing down and really soaking in all the World Showcase details. You took some amazing pictures!! And looks like you ate some yummy food too. I've heard so much about the Rosa Regale wine. I'm going to have to try it next trip! ::yes::

I love this picture, its simple yet so pretty.

I was laughing about KC with the "saucy" commentary. I swear I will always think of that now every time I see a bottle of tabasco!

Personally, I like the silly hat pics. You and KC obviously know how to fun and are such good sports. Plus those pics are usually the most fun to look back on when rehashing old trips. Every so often I coerce DH to wear Goofy ears or something and its hilarious. Can't wait to hear more about your adventures around the showcase (and so glad it wasn't raining for you this year). :goodvibes

I wondered if you knew I had a new TR going! I still can't get over how much we got done the first night in Epcot! You haven't been on TSM yet???!!!!

Ireland and the Louisiana stuff was our fav!

The wine is soooo yummy. I wanted to have ours with chocolate mousse at home but we never got the mousse. LOL. I never would have stopped for wine in Italy if not for the wine walk!

LOL I'm gonna tell KC the DIS knows he's saucy now! :rotfl2:

Great Update Kat !! Gota put the F&W fest on my list of to dos !!!!

You do, it's so much fun!

Wow, I'm so jealous. That all looks so good. :goodvibes

I'm just hopinf that reliving this trip doesn't make me take KC by the throat and make him let me book a F&W trip later this year! LOL.
 
Excellent pictures and info. I'll have to show your TR to Rockie. I'm so glad you are doing this. I'll have a much better idea of what to expect when we go.
 
I so want to go to F & W Fest. Maybe if I get another job I can take a quick weekend.
 
I knew there was a wine flight in the wine shop so we headed there to partake in that. We actually learned about something else even better! It’s called the “wine Walk” and you get 2 2oz glasses from 3 different countries for $20.
:scared1: :scared1: :scared1:
:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

I NEVER knew of this! Can you start in any country? Which ones are included? Is it year-round or only during F&W?
 
Girls' weekend... :rolleyes1 :goodvibes

Is it really happening?? If it Is I am so in, by then I should have some $$ saved up. :woohoo:

It is sooooo much fun during F&W, our fav time I think. I did a TR for last years trip too, the link is in my siggie.

You said it! Disney needs to give a special focker discount!

:scared1: :scared1: :scared1:

I am not sure if its all the time, it's Germany, Italy and France. ALL the wine's were nice! You get a little paper and they stamp you when you do it so you have all day to use it up. If they have it all the time I am SO doing it again!!! SO worth it!
 
Moving right along the world showcase…. We found our next F&W booth.

2173042260070748021S600x600Q85.jpg


We got The Spaetzle ( C) and Sausage on Pretzel Bread (B-).
2708086650070748021S600x600Q85.jpg


The Spaetzle was a disappointment, kinda dry and not enough sauce. The sausage KC put lots of mustard on so I only got a small bite of it, and it was good but nothing to write home about.

We took the food and sat down on the fountain in Germany. I had a moment for my Focker friends, as I always do whenever we are in Germany now. I sent KC to get the last stop on our Wine Walk.

2501739430070748021S600x600Q85.jpg


I love this weird little window, I could see it from where we were sitting.
2389527380070748021S600x600Q85.jpg


Again, I put the Wine Walk paper away, but I know we liked both wines. There wasn’t a one we didn’t enjoy, so worth the $20.

The next stop was…

2500709860070748021S600x600Q85.jpg


They had different herbs in pots at most of the booths, I thought it was pretty neat.
2599839100070748021S600x600Q85.jpg


We got The Bobotie (A) and Durban Spiced Chicken (A-)
2889348570070748021S600x600Q85.jpg


that chicken was SPICY! I took a small bite and made KC go get me a cup of water at the outpost. Whew. I don’t deal well w/ spicy but KC loved it. The bobotie was GREAT.

We plopped down at the covered outpost spot and chilled for a bit.

We wandered slowly over the bridge towards China. We saw some birds by the water and KC made me take a picture of one because he swore at first it was a statue until it moved. I was hysterical over this.

2807048810070748021S600x600Q85.jpg


We stopped first the Joy of Tea stand, our new favorite place in the showcase. We got our new favorite drink in all of Disney: A peach oolong tea slushie. Heaven in a cup. And awesome in the warm weather.

Then we wandered around in China for a while, a pavilion we hadn’t really been in, in quite a while.

On the way out of the shops we caught the tail end of these guys. Very cool show.

And since we were in still in the China groove we went here next:
2770034030070748021S600x600Q85.jpg


KC loved the Pot Stickers (B)
2996061710070748021S600x600Q85.jpg


We needed a sitting down break so we headed into the seating area by Kringla, in Norway. It always seems to be fairly deserted, and today it was. I grabbed a seat and KC went in to get us some goodies. Really I felt kinda full from all the food we’d eaten but when you put desert in front of me I can’t help myself, esp. from Kringla.

We had Rice Cream with Strawberries and Lefse (rolled up crepe like thing with a creamy filling) and a cup of water.
2483491830070748021S600x600Q85.jpg


I made rice cream recently and I really wanted to have it there to see how I did in comparison. I did good. It really was the same taste. I was very proud of myself!

We sat there for a while and put our feet up and chatted in the lovely shade.
Eventually the bottomless pit that is my hubby needed another plate of food so off we went. We skipped the Spain booth. But we did stop at Vienna for some Goulash (B). I had a taste; it was decent but tasted kinda like a regular stew.

Next we went into the Mexico Pavilion. We walked up the handicapped way since stairs seemed like a bad idea.
2102188690070748021S600x600Q85.jpg


So I said to KC “Do something Mexican” this is what he came up with….
2270067170070748021S600x600Q85.jpg


Here’s hoping our humor is taken as just that, if not my apologizes to anyone we offended.

And in case you didn’t get enough of stupid hats before here’s the last pic for this post…
