The kids and I were up and at ‘em this morning, but somehow still ended up not getting to EPCOT until after the park opened! We hightailed it to Soarin’! We only waited about 20 minutes in line, so that wasn’t bad at all! True said it was worth the wait! After that, we had a Fast Pass for Test Track, so we headed over there. Coy, True, and I built another car and took a ride!:
After that, we crossed the park to use our Finding Nemo FP. It was at this point that I realized that I need to look at a map before making FPs for our next trip! Of course, we didn’t really need a FP to ride Nemo, but we used it anyway! Then we crossed the park AGAIN! I wasn’t complaining though, because we crossed the park so that we could finally go to the Food and Wine Festival!!!
The first thing I wanted to do was go to Canada! We ordered a Canadian Cheddar Cheese Soup for me, and three orders of the “Le Cellier” Wild Mushroom Beef Filet Mignon with Truffle Butter Sauce:
The steak was SO GOOD! We all wanted to get another serving, but I had to remind us all (yes, even I had to remind myself) that we wanted to try different things while we were there. We would have to come back and get filets another time. Oh, and True doesn’t like mushrooms, so she let me have hers! They were so good that I tried to ask Coy for his, too! LOL! He loves mushrooms, so he didn’t give his up! The soup was spicier than I expected, but it was delicious! I think I expected it to be more bland, like the cheddar and broccoli soup you get at Panera LOL but this soup was rich and thick, and the flavor of the beer in it really stood out. Mmm I want more!
Next, we went to the Greece booth and True got the Chicken Gyro with Tzatziki Sauce. Remember how she was really hating that I was taking food pics on this trip?:
LOL! I asked her to please let me take a picture, so she let me take a quick snap:
I decided to get a Griddled Greek Cheese and a TzatzikiMartini:
Yes, that is a little sprig of dill in my drink! The grilled cheese was good, but I should have known it would be too much cheese for me. Especially since I wasn’t really hungry after the soup and steak! I only had a few bites of the cheese, but I really liked the flavor combination of the pistachios and honey, so I ate all of that! LOL!
What time is it? Martini-thirty!
Actually, it was 12:30! Haha! I actually don’t like gin-based martinis, but this was made with cucumber vodka, so I wanted to give it a shot. I love Tzatziki, so I wanted to see how it would translate into a cocktail. I pictured it to be a think drink – like a liqueur or something – but it was thin because it was just made with vodka and whatever else they put in it. It was good, but not great. And the dill kept getting into my mouth as I sipped! LOL! But it gave me a nice little buzz for a few minutes! I might drink it again, just because it is different.
Coy was ready to do something, because he didn’t get anything to eat at the Greece booth, so we made our way to O Canada. I took a few pictures along the way:
That was the first time we had seen that movie! I think I may have seen it when I was younger, but that was quite some time ago. I love Martin Short! Since he was in it, I had to sing the Party Pooper song to the kids again! No one was being a Party Pooper then, but when I sang the song, they were almost pushed to it! LOL! Every party has a pooper!
From there, we went to Ireland to get the Warm Chocolate Pudding with Kerrygold Irish Cream Liqueur Custard:
Yum! It was so good and chocolate-y! It was a good thing we all got our own, because no one would want to share that!
We kept walking and ended up in the gift shops in the United Kingdom. There was a super cute guy working at the shop with an English accent! Oh, boy do I have a thing for men with English accents! We saw a lot of Doctor Who merchandise there:

What was Doctor Who stuff doing at EPCOT? It reminded me of this scene in Doctor Who with my favorite companion, Donna:

LOL!!! As we were leaving the shop, I said to True, “He is cute!” just a little too loud. Coy said that the guy heard me, and I exclaimed, “I don’t care if he heard me! He WAS cute!” LOL!
Then we went over to The Toy Soldier to go color at Kidcot:
