I’m On A Boat
We couldn’t go on the other 2 boat rides in EPCOT without visiting the other, especially if rumors are true it will get an update to Coco. Side Note: Am I the only one that didn’t like Coco? I fell asleep during it, I was that bored!
Mexico
It had been too long without alcohol and food so after our boat ride, we remedied that quickly at the Mexico F&W Booth! I really liked the shrimp quesadilla but I know some others haven’t liked it. I think it depends on how much you like corn tortillas (grainier than flour) and Oaxaca Cheese. My mother wasn’t a fan at all. We also think our margarita got mixed up. It was spicy which looking at the ingredients, it wasn’t supposed to be unless it was the chamoy. I think my mother drank it only because it was almost $10 but it was nursed for a while...
Shrimp Quesadilla: Corn Tortilla w/ Shrimp, Oaxaca Cheese and topped with Spicy Guajillo Sauce
Mariachi Loco: Margarita w/ Libélula Tequila Joven, Mango Puree and Chamoy
Thailand
I went to the next booth I wanted to visit and got the peanut chicken. Chicken was a bit dry but the sauce on top of the chicken was exactly what I wanted my flatbread from the night before to be like but wasn’t. Could have used some rice to soak up all that sauce as well!

Light Lab
We headed to the light lab where I decided to get the cider flight as I still needed more alcohol in my day. We took a break here on the floor to get out of the heat. I slowly sipped the ciders while my mother was still nursing that margarita from earlier. Of the three, the Ciderboys was my favorite but I drink Ciderboys a lot at home. My ended up throwing out about half of the blueberry peppercorn as it was just ok. The dry rose from Original Sin was also ok and I drank most of it.

Rested and hydrated we used our last FP+ on Imagination. The FP+ wasn’t needed as there was no line and our ride train was pretty much empty except for 2 other parties.
After exploring 4 of our senses, I needed to work on number 5 and I picked up a bucket of my cheddar cheese popcorn before we headed back to the Grand Floridian via the monorail. I snacked on the popcorn later in the weekend and on my drive home Monday! I think I can get away with bringing it back with me in November since Halloween would have just ended. Who can pass on $1.75 refills? Overall, it was a successful day at the festival. We didn’t try everything we wanted but at least I got through some of my list and will have more in November with my husband.
