Day 3, Part 3: Still Braving the Rain
We last left off heading toward the American pavilion to get some food at the festival food booth.
Mom snapped a quick pick in front of a festival sign on the way!

Here I had mom save a table that was under the roof since it was raining, while I got the food. The crowds hadn’t quite made it back there yet, so there were only like 2 people in line so it was quick. I picked up the deviled eggs for my mom, the chicken pot pie and the chocolate peanut butter stout for myself, and somehow made it back to the table without spilling any of it!


We really liked everything here, even the fake deviled eggs!
After finishing that round of food, I ran up for a second round! This time there was a line so it was about a 15 minute wait, but still not horrible. I got the deviled eggs for myself and the hummingbird cake for my mom.


Again, we were really impressed with the food here.
While eating my mom was really starting to freeze, so when she finished before me, I offered to clean everything up after I finished and she could go right into the art store next to us immediately to warm up and I’d meet her once I finished. She liked that idea so headed over to the store.
I took a few more minutes to finish up the food and drink, then cleaned the table off before joining my mom.
We browsed the store a bit, and there was so much there I liked, but I finally just got a small print of the Yacht Club.

Mom was still freezing at that point, and it was just getting rainier and windier, so we decided to head out.
On the way, we decided to pop into Japan to do something I've been wanting to do for years...pick a pearl! There was one family ahead of us in line, so we went and paid and got our number and went to watch their ceremony while waiting for ours. Before long it was our turn, and it was so fun! I tried to pick the ugliest oyster since I've heard those have the best pearls, not sure it's true, but I got a pretty decent pearl in mine!

This was so much fun, I love the little ceremony they do, I'm so happy we finally got around to doing this!
After getting the pearl we continued our way out of the park.
We were almost out when mom suddenly remembered we had a DAS for Remy, so we headed back there.
We scanned in and made our way and quickly made our way to the loading area to wait for our rat. Just as we were about to get on, the ride went down! Nooooo! Seriously, this ride does this a lot to us!
We got the anytime LL just in case, then made our way out of the park to warm up and dry off for a bit!
