SO, what snacks/drinks are you most looking forward to??

I will have me a dole whip float and this time, DH and I will each get one, we will not share!
I want to get my hands in a Lapu Lapu as well.
OH, and the Grey Goose lemon slush in Epcot.
A homemade ice cream cookie sandwich at MK.

Hmmm...I guess there's not that many that I'm dying to have. I'm just looking forward to a week where I do no food prep at all!

I also I am looking forward to not cooking or doing dishes for almost a week!

EPCOT - we want so many things at F&W, but I'm also looking forward to a Grey Goose lemon slushie.
MK - Dole whip and a churro
HS - I haven't tried a carrot cake cookie yet so that's on my list. We also love Dad's electric lemonade at the Tune In Lounge, and we are going to try the margarita flight at the Hollywood Brown Derby Lounge.
AK - we love the Dawa Bar's sugar cane mojito! And I know it's not a snack, but I absolutely love the pulled pork sandwich at Flame Tree Barbecue.

I'm also looking forward to a Grey Goose lemon slushie.

This is my absolute favorite drink in all of Disney! Except during F&W when the La Vie En Rose which is similar yet different takes its place lol

I haven't tried a carrot cake cookie yet so that's on my list.

And one of my favorite snacks! Definitely try it, you won't be disappointed

Snacks and drinks.... I really need to make a list because right now I can't think of many. I definitely want to have a grey goose slushie and avocado margarita. They are my favorite. There's a drink at Geyser Point that I want to try and some things at the Dawa bar that I want to try. I've never been to either before. I'm looking forward to reading the holiday booth menus when reviews start popping up for them. I wasn't a big fan of the dole whip but I would like to try a dole whip with rum. We plan on stopping and enjoying more drinks this trip instead of rushing to the next attraction.

Snacks that I want again are the ice cream cookie sandwich at the Plaza, cronut, anything from Karamelle Kuche, a chocolate covered apple from the Main street confectionary, & a cronut. I want to get a funnel cake this trip because I haven't had one in years. I also want to try the carrot cake cookie and a butterfinger cupcake. The pineapple eggrolls in Pandora sound interesting and I still haven't had the cheeseburger eggroll in adventureland so we should hit that up. Oh I gotta try a cinnamon bun at Gaston's. The nutella with fruit waffle haunts my dreams but we're on the dining plan and it's not so I might try to save it for May.

11/11 - Leave NC around 3am, drive to Florida. Check into Pop, nap! Dinner either at food court or check out the Boardwalk, depending on energy levels.
11/12 - MK with lunch at LTT. Park closing early, either DS or BW for dinner.
11/13 - HS w/lunch at SciFi, Fantasmic dessert party.
11/14 - EPCOT!!! Dinner at Garden Grill.
11/15 - MK again
11/16 - AK w/lunch at TH with the ROL package.
11/17 - No current plans. It’s my husband’s first trip and I wanted him to pick the park we go back to a second time, we’ll wing it or pick up FP/ADRs that morning. I may end up regretting this.
11/18 - Check out of Pop, head to DS for lunch with some of my extended family who live in the area.

We always say we want a day like this but then the planning side takes over. We did do one day where we only have 1 FP booked at Epcot and we'll either stay at Epcot or hop over to wherever the majority wants. We're already nervous about the lack of fastpass availability at MK if we decide to go there.

I must be living under a rock. Avocado Martini?!?! I must have! Where can this be found?

I must be living under a rock. Avocado Martini?!?! I must have! Where can this be found?

It's at La Cava del Tequilla in the Mexican Pavilion. I think it's very good but my dh didn't like it at all. He doesn't like avocados to begin with but I didn't think it tasted like avocado. It was more of a creamy margarita taste to me.

 

[wdwnut61]

BOTH the Martini and Margarita flights! I want to join your table please.

Oh we were a giggley pair by the time we left

All this talk about food makes me wonder if I overlooked meal planning. Are you all planning all your quick service meals? I was just figuring we would pick up food wherever we felt like it, but now I'm a little panicky. Should I be adding quick service meals into my touring plans?

We have the QS we want picked out for the most part, but haven't made plans for times.

I plan out what QS meals I want or a couple of options in a general area but I don’t plan the times. We also sometimes change our QS plans if something else sounds better at the moment. It’s mostly just a rough plan based off of what I see online from pictures of meals I want to have.
