2 Days till Disney, 2 Food & Wine Booths to Go: Thailand​

In my PTR reports (and sometimes in my TR) I like to do some type of countdown. For this trip I am going to take a closer look at the menus of the 35 2017 Epcot Food and Wine Festival Booths (Why 35? To Celebrate Epcot’s 35 Years) and tell you what I am planning to sample and sip. My goal is to attempt to sample (but not sip, because I am not a beer or dry wine gal) something at each booth, which for some booths is way too easy because I want the entire menu and others I just want to bypass!

Food:
· Marinated Chicken with Peanut Sauce and Stir-fried Vegetables Seared Shrimp and Scallop Cake with Cold Noodle Salad
· Red Hot Spicy Thai Curry Beef with Steamed Rice

Beverages:
· Helfrich Gewürztraminer, Alsace
· Singha Lager

​

Another booth I am having a hard time with…maybe the shrimp & scallop cake. I am also trying to figure out why there is Gewürztraminer from France/Germany on the menu…not a very Thai wine. LOL But I love Gewürztraminer!

Have a great trip!

I would love to say hi...loved your Italy pictures. Made me want to go back so bad...DD will be there all summer on a dig in Rome and then probably the following spring for her honors college trip...she wants to do the Rome marathon, so maybe I will just have to slip over there and join her!

I have my own set of rules for this challenge so at each park I have to do the following (and be documented with a picture/video or it did not happen):

1. Selfie in front of Park Icon or Entrance
2. 1 Coaster Ride & 1 Other Ride
3. 1 Hidden Mickey
4. Picture with a character in each park or Stop for a Show (Either of these will be a huge challenge for me)
5. Eat & Drink Something Unique to that Park

Wow, that is ambitous and makes my 4 parks 1 day rule seems lame . Good luck on your challenge.

My late afternoon and evening will be filled with MVMCP, plus lots of Christmas cookies and snow on Main Street. I pretty much plan just to roam around and let the moment lead me. I am going to stake out a good viewing spot for the parade and wishes…waiting with something peppermint in my hand. And of course this is my last night, I can sleep tomorrow on the plane so I fully intend to be the last one out of the Magic Kingdom!

Same, same, same. I love you plans, it's going to be a great night.

Ha...I am taking advantage of the party to get this challenge completed. Being solo I can do a lot of single rider lines so no worries...and my idea of a show is pretty lax!

While I probably will not get to all of the booths, I am going to give it my best try! Disney has not disappointed me this year in the menus! Can’t wait till Sunday when I begin my quest!

While the Artist Palette looks like so much fun, but the scallop dish looks amazing!
