Once we’d caught up on some sleep, we made a plan for the rest of the day and then got ready and headed back to Epcot for some more fooding and beveraging (who needs wine?!)
When we got to Epcot, we headed for the Test Track side of the park. I think we might have caught the Jammitors as we headed there. It’s been almost 2 months so…getting foggy… We decided to take a look at the single rider line for Test Track and since it wasn’t visible, we decided to go for it. It ended up being almost a walk on!
After Test Track, it was time to get our eating on and, most importantly since it was her last day, help Jessie complete the cheese challenge!
We started at the Mac and Eats booth. Jessie got the Cowboy Mac (yeeha!) and I got the traditional. I only have a picture of the traditional. Jessie’s was the winner here. Mine was good, but was oddly spicy, so that was weird.
Next we divided and conquered and picked up food from 3 nearby locations, before meeting to enjoy all of it in the air conditioned seating area of the Odyssey building, which is currently home to the Brew-wing “booth”. This strategy worked really well, allowing us to enjoy the food despite how hot it was outside, and get off our feet, which were pretty well done by this point. We’d Disneyed hard!
So what foods and beverages did we get? We got the Smoked Corn Beef (because beef, potatoes and cheese!) from the Flavors from Fire Booth, the Fry Flight, I got the cider flight from Brew-wing and Jessie got the Salty Dog cocktail from the Fry basket. We enjoyed everything we got. Of the ciders, I liked the strawberry lemonade and guava ones the best. Delightful.
We then started making our way clockwise around World Showcase. Our next food stop appears to have been Italy, where we got the gnocchi with vodka sauce and the panna cotta. The panna cotta was VERY soft, and, frankly, flavorless. The gnocchi was surprisingly delicious.
Next up was Japan where I got the fuji apple sake. I think Jessie got the lemon cocktail, but I’m not 100% sure on that one. The sake was really refreshing.
Then it was on to Greece where we got the griddled cheese. Delicious.
By now we were in desperate need of a food break, so we took in the Beauty and the Beast sing-along in France, which started just after we got there. This was cute, and good air conditioning.
After some good childhood music, it was evident that a storm was brewing so we made our way to the entrance to World Showcase. Jessie got her cheese challenge complete prize and Shimmering Sips and I got the Aulani Sunrise and macadamia passion fruit cheesecake from Hawaii. We met at a table in between the two booths to scarf our desserts and to take pictures of the storm clouds. I think Jessie caught the lightning in her photos too.
We then got the heck out of Epcot, because holy lightning. Also, holy full tummies.
Thankfully we got on a bus quickly and were back at French Quarter before the sky opened up. We were given a warning to move quickly by CMs as we exited the lobby to head for our room. I don’t think the sky ever did open up the way the clouds and lightning suggested it would, but we definitely followed directions!
Once the storm threat had lessened Jessie decided to head to the Magic Kingdom to ride Splash Mountain. My feet and energy were done, so I stayed behind and pretty quickly fell asleep. Jessie did get on Splash, albeit with a longer wait than she’d anticipated. Because I’m old (and maybe because I’d been drinking) I woke up to go to the bathroom about the time she made it back to the room so we chatted about her evening and the trip as a whole for a bit before calling it a night for real.
