365 Adventures in 2011: Day 310 – Cheese
Today was another visit to the Epcot International Food and Wine Festival, likely the last for 2011. I tried a bunch of items I hadn’t had before, including an artisan cheese selection with Le Delice de Bourgogne Lincet, Thomasville Tomme Sweet Grass Dairy, and Chevre Affine Wyngaard Kaas. It was a great combination of mild, medium, and strong tasting cheese with honey, fig, and crackers to go with them. Yum.

I upgraded my Walt Disney World annual pass back in August to the Premium version to start getting 20% off merchandise instead of just 10%. The pass also gives me unlimited access to Disney’s water parks, which I’ve never had before. But since I upgraded, I haven’t found time to actually visit any of those parks… until this morning. Despite the fact that it was below 70 degrees when I woke up today (and snowing in other parts of the country), it was a good chance for me to hop over to Typhoon Lagoon for a few hours.
The chilly weather seemed to scare away most tourists, so the park was practically empty. I was able to hop on the slides as many times as I wanted with no wait and float around the lazy river for a while, without it being overcrowded. The water is heated and the sun was shining, so the lower temperature didn’t bother me at all. And I had fun.

I was on a mission to buy the new DuckTales shirt I heard was available at Epcot and when I got there, I also spotted an excellent Chip n Dale Rescue Rangers shirt too, so I had to get both. While I like the DuckTales shirt (Woo hoo!), I love this Rescue Rangers shirt because it doesn’t say anything, so it’s slightly more subtle. Slightly.

After skipping the always crowded first weekend, Michelle and I enjoyed a trip around the World Showcase for the Epcot International Food and Wine Festival. There are a lot of great new items to try this year, and a few that aren’t so great. But in the end I left stuffed and look forward to going back to try a few more, as I only ate a small percentage of the many dishes that are available.
