Day 9 ~ June 27, 2009
Sea Day - Tequilla Tasting!!
So after our awesome (adult only) presentation of Disney Innovations at the Buena Vista theatre, we made our way to Diversions for our Tequilla and Margarita tasting.
As you read from the WDW portion of the TR, we LOVE margaritas! BUT I am not good at drinking straight up liquor! I didn't realize that it was more tequilla than margaritas!
Our presenter was Yelena, who was the head bartender at Rockin' Bar D. (Apparently she does all of the tastings because we had her again for our Beer Tasting a few days later.)
Yelena was very knowledgable about how tequilla is made and what the differences are and blah blah. It was interesting at the time but I can't say I really remember anything I learned.
So we started with our three different tequillas. We were told about each one and then drank! I really had to force it down because straight alcohol makes me gag! But I paid for it, so I'm drinking it!!
Tom checking out the color differences.
Finally! I was very excited when it was time for the margaritas!
YUM! So I drank my margaritas down and was feeling PRETTY tipsy at this point. BUT we had things to do today!! On to Rockin' Bar D for BINGO! (I had made it a point to wait and buy razors between the proper hours to get my free bingo card!)
I did NOT expect to spend so much money but the woman who asked us what kind of BINGO package we wanted was the presenter from the Disney Innovations presentation we went to earlier, so that was exciting and, again, I was a little tipsy so before I knew it, I had spent $50 on BINGO cards and some machine that I didn't have to do a THING to use, just watch and see if I win.
It was pretty crowded in there but luckily we got a seat at the bar. Can you tell I'm a little tipsy?
Now who should come to wait on us at the bar but Yelena from our tasting!! GREAT! She'll know exactly what I want! Please get me one of those delicious classic margaritas with the silver patron tequilla!!
Well, let me tell you, that was the BIGGEST and STRONGEST margarita I have ever had in my LIFE!! It was so big, in fact, that when she was pouring it from the shaker to the glass, she kept making me sip it to add more in!
Tom got a Boddington's, I think...
Well, the rest of the game was really a blur. The guy sitting next to me at the bar won the first game so I knew I had no shot. What are the odds that two people sitting right next will both win?
Here are some action shots!
After BINGO, I was reeeeally feeling the drinks. We needed to go to the "section!" At this point, I couldn't even sit at a table, I needed a lounge chair! I was able to get a nice picture of my feet, though!
At this point, it was like 3 o'clock and we hadn't eaten anything since "breakfast." So Tom ran to get some food. BTW, those chicken fingers were AWESOME!
I don't know why, but I felt like I needed to keep going...so I ordered yet ANOTHER margarita! I have a great picture of me on the lounge chair with my new drink and the look of bliss on my face but....it's the only picture that I let Tom take of me with a
cigarette in my hand. (Every other time I made sure it was not in the pictures but at this point, I could've cared less!) I won't post it because I don't want you to judge me!
And that was the last picture we took that day. But what about food porn, you ask? Read on.............
Okay, so after that we went back to the room and I was actually awake enough to play UNO on our verandah! I don't remember who won but probably not me.
So tonight was formal night and all day I was saying, "We HAVE to see the Golden Mickeys!!!!" Seriously, I was talking about it nonstop. We had planned on NOT going to our rotational dining room tonight since we didn't really bring "formal" clothes but I really wanted to see that show....
Well, after Uno...I just couldn't stay awake any longer! Really, I passed out at like 5! I haven't been like that in years! Yelena did it to me!!
At some point, Tom woke me up to tell me that they were going to be showing the Golden Mickeys on TV! GREAT! Except I fell right back to sleep!
Oh well...no show tonight either!
I did wake up around midnight and watched the Pixar channel for a while. I think Wall-E was on. I wasn't awake for too long and soon fell back to sleep until morning.
Up Next: Grand Cayman!
I, like you, found it by accident.
We're big Buffy/Angel fans at our house if you couldn't tell.
The eggs were really wet, too. 
Buffy is good to listen to while jogging. That may have been the best episode of a televison show ever.
