CONTINUED FROM LAST POST
There was still one booth I needed to get to before we moved out of WS. It was one of my favorite booths from last year but unfortunately they'd changed two of the offerings. I was sad about that, but still wanted to try one of the new ones and say hello to a returning friend.
The Tarte a la Tomate Provencale was replacing an onion tart I loved last year and got twice; I wasn't interested in this new version. The Macaron au Chocolat en Sucette was replacing the glorious Raspberry Macaroon, which was absolutely and unquestionably the best dessert I've ever had at any WDW festival. You all know I love chocolate so it's not like I wasn't happy to see it on the menu, but honestly I wanted my raspberry macaroon not on a stick back. Luckily they didn't touch our La Vie en Rose, amiright ladies????
Steve chose yellow and got our non-festival love, the Grey Goose slush. I loved the La Vie en Rose as always. The chocolate macaroon was good; it was coldish on the inside which was nice on a hot day. But, it couldn't hold a candle to it's previous competitor
Ah well, I was happy with all I tried and the 3 of us were happily full, so we went to meet Ricky by SE. Passing the U.K on the way I tried, unsuccessfully, to get a decent picture of this years; Peter Pan/Hook topiary since they'd changed it up:
All in all on both trips I took about 9 pictures of this, and none came out good.
Ricky was having pretty bad bus luck and was going on like, 30 minutes waiting for the Epcot bus, so we used the restroom and chilled until he came. We used our Pixar FP (TOTALLY needed as you would expect) and then realized Ricky hadn't eaten since Starbucks! He wanted to go back to some MEAT he'd had before our Via Napoli lunch the other day, so once again we moseyed over to WS.
This was from Steve's beloved La Isla Fresca booth, but he did not succumb to the siren song of the shrimp. The only thing we ordered was for Ricky-
Jamaican-braised Beef with Pigeon Pea Rice and Micro Cilantro
As I said he'd gotten this about 2 days prior and for someone who doesn't like heat/spice, he loved this! I didn't try it but Steve said it did have some heat in both the heat and rice; go figure.
Once he ate we all succumbed to Chris's rash and Ricky's knee, even though he'd only been with us about an hour. We'd had a good day so far and it was only about 3, but I felt so horrible for them. Ricky hates sitting around and like me is bored when we're not doing anything in Disney, but we couldn't ignore that he needed to be still. And Chris's rash was..............RED. BUMPY. HOT. As much as he complains and annoys us he had good reason to today, so we all hopped the bus back to WL to chill.
Once there the kids rested while Steve and ! walked the resort grounds a bit. We got some drinks at Geyser Point
AFTER totally revamping our evening and dinner plans. I often mention we're changing plans but this was a fairly big overhaul, so next up will be a wordy explanation and some rootin' tootin' napking twirlin' fun!
