5pm - Epcot!!! Walking in, Epcot rubbed it in that the F&W Fest is starting this week. Just in time for me to leave. Ugh...
DH & I arrived first. So I was forced to go on Captain EO. For the first time. I fought it. I didn't want to. But DH was adamant. So I figured, to have and to hold and all that stuff. Might as well.
Right away, I was disapointed b/c I was walking into a building that used to be Honey I Shrunk the Audience. Depressing. Then, it started. Oh, the 80s-ness. Oh, the Lucas-ness. Oh, the MJ-ness. I couldn't. I just couldn't take it. I LOL'd, I covered my eyes in disbelief. It was too much. Too much 80s-ness. Oh the humanity. Dh promised I never have to do it again.
My reward? Fish & Chips in the UK and a Bass. Thank you! We sat on the street, close enough to Canada to hear the band, close enough to Alice to hear her witticisms in the cutest English accent.
Our friends would be arriving shortly, by foot, in the entrance by France. So we Grey Goose slushed ourselves while waiting with a nice view of the water and Aurora. And when our friends arrived, the madness began!
Drinks! More in France. Champagne, Citrons, Grand Marnier Slushes. So much fun. Many hugs, too. Then onto Japan where we got Tokyo Sunsets, Kirins and Frozen Kirins. Next into Italy. Ah! Rose Regale and Limoncellos. The men got beers in Germany.
All of the above walking/consuming took about an hour. We had many talks and adventures finding hidden Mickeys.
Finally, we landed in Mexico to have dinner at La Hacienda. Oh my goodness. 1st of all, we were seated at a table by the windows so we could see Illuminations. DH had never seen it, in all our trips together. Then we feasted on crazy good food, including a Short Rib dish that made my head explode in happiness.
After dinner, the countries and beverages tour continued with Tequila Flights, UK beers and attempts to obtain more Grey Goose slushes. Finally, when there were no more to pour, we bid Epcot adieu.
And went back to CBR.
And pouted.
And fell asleep.
Next thing I knew, I was back to reality, commuting into work, cursing people who don't use their blinkers.
My friends are at MK today. Darn.
