Booths vs Dis_Yoda & DH - Round 2
This round was not going to be too much about food outside a few items that I really wanted to try. We were still content from the Parisian Breakfast in the morning. We were going to go after many of the drinks we wanted to try and some drinks we didnt really want to try but we were on a mission to work on our passport as we still had 26 more booths left to be completed!
Our first stop was
Refreshment Port for a new take on an old favorite of ours, the Dragon Berry Refresher. This rum was used in a colada the last time we enjoyed it but we enjoyed this new version as much as the previous one!
Dragon Berry Refresher featuring Bacardi Dragonberry Rum
Our next stop was
Ireland for the Warm Chocolate Pudding. This was only ok. I think I remember liking this a lot better in years past but either my tastes have changed or I got a bad one to have.
Warm Chocolate Pudding w/ Kerrygold Irish Cream Liqueur Custard
The next booth we stopped at,
Showcase Coffee Cart, we only had 1 option if we wanted to have it marked off on the passport. The option was ok but neither of us are huge chai latte drinkers.
Chai Latte w/ Grey Goose Vodka, served over ice, sans Cinnamon Whipped Cream
Brazil was the booth I was saving the room for food in my stomach for. There were two things I wanted & neither of them disappointed me at all as both of them were everything I hoped them to be. I also lucked out that Shaun didnt want to enjoy any of the food as he was holding out for ice cream for the room in his stomach. I loved that cheese bread & will definately going back for more during one of the next two trips! The pork belly was great as well.

While I was enjoying these at the table, Shaun went to
Belgium to pick up the Beer Flight as we knew we liked 3 of the 4 beers & didnt mind getting to try the Leffe Blonde for something new. We tend to drink mostly Belgian style beers at home so this selection made us happy overall!
Beer Flight - Hoegaarden, Stella, Leffe Blonde, Stella Cidre
The next booth was what my husband was holding out for,
Fife & Drum for the ice cream sundae w/ Ghiradelli Chocolate Sauce. This disappointed him as think he was expecting more of an actual sundae rather than soft serve with chocolate sauce on top. While he enjoyed this at a table, I just decided to get
Liberty Inn done for the passport by picking up one of the wines which was ok.

Hess Shirtail Chardonnay
We got some Hungarian Wine from
Poland. Ill just quote what my husband said about it, which if you are on my facebook you already saw: Tastes like boxed wine. Sadly, that is what I expected Hungarian wine to taste like.
Donausonne Blaufrankisch, Hungarian Wine
Needing to get that awful wine taste out of our mouths, we went to
Germany to get wine we actually knew we would like. They were all basic sweet rieslings. The 2nd one was my favorite!
Riesling Flight
None of the food options interested us in
Africa so we went with a wine. The wine tasted like a $2.50 wine so we wouldnt drink it again.
MAN Vintners Chenin Blanc
We needed a better tasting wine so we got in line at
Australia to fix that problem and had a much better success for taste!
St. Kilda Chardonnay
It was getting hot outside and we had wined ourselves out for a bit so we went inside the Odyssey Center to visit
Craft Beers.
We couldnt quite decide which beers to try so we went with the Beer Flight #1 as at least we knew I liked the Purple Haze. The Sierra and the Shiner were a bit too bitter for our likes but we finished it. We also snacked on the nut mix which had just enough of a kick for us.
Beer Flight 1: Sierra Nevada, Kellerweis; Dogfish Head Craft Brewery, Punkin Ale; Shiner Brewery, Wild Hare Pale Ale; and Abita Brewing Company, Purple Haze
I used the restroom and had a great flashback to old style EPCOT which Im glad can still be seen in some areas.
This bathroom sign reminds me of the old style EPCOT
Upon leaving, I spotted someone I have met a few, err, many times at F&W & on a cruise, so we took a drunk selfie and I then caught up to my husband.

We then stopped at
Terra to get a wine as none of the food options sounded good as well. The wine was fine. I was trying to figure out how the wine was vegan but it didnt really matter as Im not a vegan so it doesnt matter to us much.
Vegan Vine Chardonnay
We visited our last booth,
Hawaii and got 3 items to enjoy. My husband really enjoyed the beer and while I enjoyed the Aulani Sunset. I wish the Tuna was a bit colder than it was but I still liked it.
Aulani Sunset featuring Sammys Beach Bar Rum, Kona Brewing Company, Big Wave Golden Ale, Tuna Poke w/ Seaweed Salad & Lotus Root Chips
After this booth, both my husband and I were toast. We were both shocked we got through 14 of the booths this early afternoon! We knew we couldnt drink any more if we actually wanted to do anything this evening and we were too full to eat anymore. We laughed on our way out of EPCOT and back towards the Beach Club. We even avoided this dangerous object for my ankle:
DANGER, DANGER!
