Run Now! It’s Wine 0’Clock in WDW…Cupcakes Gone W&D16

[AJollyHoliday]

I made my first $25 with Perk this morning! Ha, you keep me motivated to earn this money! I have really been in a funk the last few weeks and it has been becoming more of a chore than a fun challenge! Great job on your next $100!!!! SB has been a major pain, yesterday for the first time in I am not sure when I thought I would not make it to my 1st goal and it had me stressed. Then at the last minute last night I pulled off 2 surveys!

SB has been a real pain! I am glad that you have been earning with PerkTV. It is so much easier, i wish I did it more, but it wasn't until March that I kicked it back up. I am glad that I motivate you You motivate me! I have not been reaching my min goal in SBTV, but I just don't have time nor do I qualify for surveys so I just keep running the app and keeping my eye out for TTG (She gave me a measly 2 SB today).

I am all about France! I will eat all the non-meat food and drink all the wines!!! Seriously, one of my absolute favorite places to go besides Italy, Mexico, and the UK. OH man I am craving all the wine and macaroons now

Can I have one of everything in France? I live the sorbet, I love the bread, I love chefs de France, I want it all!

I ate at Chef De France for the first time last week and FELL HEAD OVER HEALS IN LOVE!!!! It became my favorite restaurant. Food, desserts, drinks- I think I could just live in the France pavilion...........

 

[SarahDisney]

When in France ... you have to go macaron!
Or maybe ice cream. Who doesn't love ice cream?

 

[lovingeire]

Boeuf bourguignon

This was delish last year so I would have it again! And a slushie...but I'm getting ahead of myself again...

It’s 5 O’clock Friday
in France


ONLY 25 MORE FRIDAYS! ​

In order to pass the time away, instead of Cupcake Friday’s we are going to take a look at cocktails around the world…since we are partly fueled by cocktails. Maybe we can find them a little more readily then the cupcake disappointment we experienced on our PHM Cupcake Crawl! Following in line with Whet your Appetite Wednesday, let’s begin to focus on F&W and our Eat & Drink Crawl around the World that we are planning for Sunday after the race (Rules and Logistics to come later).

​

Food & Wine Booth
To drink:
–Beer, Kronenbourg Blanc 1664
-Chardonnay, Macon-Villages, Vielles Vignes Mommessin
–Cabernet Sauvignon, Bordeaux, Château Bonnet
–Sparkling Pomegranate Kir
–Ice Pop Pomme: Apple juice, vodka, and St. Germain liqueur
–La Passion Martini Slush: vodka, Grey Goose Le Citron, cranberry and passion fruit juice

So bartender...

Pour me somethin' tall an' strong;
Make it a Ice Cream Martini
It's only half-past twelve but I don't care.
Oh wait make it an Grand Mariner Orange Slush
No I’ll have a La Passion Martini Slush
It's five o'clock somewhere…
And I just can’t decide!​

The Ice Cream Martini is 2 scoops of ice cream or sorbet, served in a martini glass with a shot of Grand Marnier, Whipped Cream Vodka or Rum....

​

But if I get that then I am being disloyal to my favorite orange slush…

​

but I can get those anytime how about the La Passion Martini Slush because that is only during F&W…

​

Sunday post race is all about eating and drinking and I am being a lush so why not all 3?


What are you having?

TTG gave me only 2 SB today...UGH! Every morning I am starting to find myself stressed out about not making my min goal...then I realized that I wont probably all summer to get the end of the month bonus. I need to stop stressing.

I did find a huge loop hole in PERK that I will share with you on your PTR!

I want one of everything too!

I have to got eat here on a trip...I just keep finding others and then favorites I can't let go. TOO BAD that the REAL FRANCE is just about like the stero-typical France of snooty people. UGH...don't even get my husband started!

When in France ... you have to go macaron!
Or maybe ice cream. Who doesn't love ice cream?

You know this girl has to have ice cream at least one time while on any vacation!

This was delish last year so I would have it again! And a slushie...but I'm getting ahead of myself again...

Must try the Boeuf bourguignon...and now you can talk slushies. I was so jealous of that pink one you had last week.

I totally forgot to post this last week with Morocco...

Let's certainly hope that when we get to Morocco we don't do this...

 

[AJollyHoliday]

A PerkTV loophole?!?!?! I am waiting on pins and needles!

I often wonder what Uncle Walt would think about the drunk antics in Epcot. I feel that that is not what he envisioned when he was dreaming up his city of tomorrow. That's not to say I haven't gotten buzzed in Epcot and maybe if I went in my earlier days of college I would have gone too far, but sometimes it just really turns me off. We were having a lovely dinner at Chefs De France when we were there in march and the table by us had this 20 something guy with his head down on the table just chugging water from time to time and in my mind I was willing him not to throw up. His buddies were eating a little, but he was not in a good place. Kind of ruins the mood.

 

[debrapagliasotti]

I'm behind again...multiple posts coming so I can look at the links for the Wed & Friday posts.

Morocco...I would go with either Sultan's Colada or Royal Blue Slushie I think

 

[debrapagliasotti]

France yumminess...I might gain 20 lbs in this country alone lol

Boeuf bourguignon
Napolean (from Boulangerie Patisserie)
Croque Glace (from L'Artisan des Glaces)

As a side note, we ate at Chefs de France in Dec 2012. It was quite good!

Another side note, I hope we can get into one of the Parisian offerings during F&W.

France 5 O'clock Friday...

La Passion Martini Slush
AND...
Grey Goose Citron Slush (because I didn't get one last month...and I NEED one!!)

The la vie en rose last week was good, but not as good as last year's Passion. If I remember correctly they had the same slushie at F&W and F&G so I wonder if la vie en rose will show up again F&W weekend? I would happily take the passion over this year's version though. I will have to see what the special offerings are and then decide on a special or my regular citron slush. But a slush will be mine!

I often wonder what Uncle Walt would think about the drunk antics in Epcot.

We got to witness them cleaning up the sidewalk after someone had a bit too much. It wasn't very magical to say the least.

I just imagine a lot of mouthy shenanigans like this video, although I hope to run into the crazy dancer dude or cupcake...

I wonder too...not very becoming of some people. This girl is too old for that silliness...that is why we will be splitting most drinks!

What no French slush...shameful!

YIKES...so glad we are splitting drinks and spreading this out over 3 days!

I love this video...their shirt signing is priceless! I wonder if we get enough drinks in Nicole if we can get hats on her? I love the manly pink drink comments....and videoing the whole experience is a great idea. They were certainly fun and not embarassing...

I love the signing of their shirts too with the phrase. So cute! I think they were a prime example of doing the drinking around the world right!

 

[SarahDisney]

Hmm ... lots of good options in France, but I think I'd go with the La Passion Martini Slush.
Although I'd never say no to an ice cream martini.

Also ... drunk people in Epcot do funny things. Stupid things, but still funny.

Well you know we were apt to tinker with ADRS…

So what started this? I blame it solely on Disney because we were pretty happy with our ADRs, but then Disney had to introduce…

​

And a FB group that we belong to keeps having people post about this lovely drinks and Debra (let me throw her under the bus) started in saying she really needs one…So ADR shuffle started taking place. First great news came when we were able to move our BOG ADR up to an earlier time have a few days of stalking Disney Dining. Then the hunt was on for Beaches & Cream while we continued to hold onto our Garden Grill. After several days of stalking, I was able to land on for 4:30 pm…so we would just go for an adult beverage pre Garden Grill. But yesterday I found one for 5:30 and just like that no more eating with crazy chipmunk duo but instead...

​

We may or may not find ourselves partaking in yet another challenge at WDW the same but this one wont involve running...
