Disney World Thanksgiving Camping Trip - Day 5: Epcot

Epcot was on our agenda for this day, and we got to spend another great day with our friend Jackie who lives near the park.

Camping At Disney World 2018 - Day 4

The next day we went to Epcot and met our friend Jackie who lives in Orlando.  She's always gracious and spends a day with us when we come to Disney - good times!

This was the last day of the 2018 Food & Wine Festival so we spent the day eating around Epcot.  A lot.  We had done this a few years back at Disneyland's California Adventure and had a good time, so we were looking forward to it here at Disney World.

I can't find my festival passport at the moment, but even without it I can remember 2 clear standouts:  The Chateau Des Charmes Vidal Icewine, Niagara-on-the-Lake from the Canada pavilion (good), and the Croissant Doughnut with Chocolate and Marshmallows (bad).  To be fair the doughnut was probably good when it was fresh, but it was so, so stale when we ate it.

Not a lot of pictures from this day:

Todd waiting for the bus at the campgrounds

The Epcot entry plaza.  This is currently under renovation and the giant "Leave a Legacy" monoliths are being moved to open up the space more.

Miscellaneous And Unrelated

Here's some other stuff I've been sitting on while finishing up the trip posts:

Dragon riding Domo-kun.  Yes, I was bored beyond belief at the time.

This swirling cosmos would eventually become delicious pecan pralines

Accidentally took this photo.  Any guesses as to what it is?

Red Velvet Peeps - Yummy, but three was enough.

Disney Trip 2013 - Day 5

Epcot today, and surprisingly few photos.  We spent the morning and early afternoon riding a few rides with Brian, Holly and the kids, then Todd and I split off around 3pm to explore the World Showcase.  One of the things I'd always regretted from past trips was not spending time really exploring the different national pavilions of the area, so we made it a priority this trip.

Disney Trip 2013 - Day 3, Part 1

I stopped making notes this morning, so the photos are going to have to guide me now.  My last entry was:

OMG it was good (plus the one I had didn't have all that crap on top)

Bay Lake Sunrise:  4 Orange Vodka, Midori Melon Liqueur, and Sweet-and-Sour with a splash of Sprite.
