Disney Trip Report, Day 7

10.26.07

Our first stop of the day was the Magic Kingdom to walk around again and see a few more things. We rode Haunted Mansion again, and saw Philharmagic again and just took in the atmosphere of one our most favorite places on our last day. Lunch was at Casey's (love the hot dogs and toppings bar and fries with cheese!)

After lunch we went over to Epcot to indulge in the Food and Wine Festival around the World Showcase. Fastpasses for Soarin' were already all gone for the day, so we went over to Mission: Space. Mom, Ken and I went on while Dad went over to check out the festival center.

We started out World Showcase trek at Mexico (tried the quesadilla con chorizo and conga juice) and stopped inside Mexico to see the updated boat ride with the Three Caballeros. We hit a lot of the different food stands on our way around. Here's what we ate around the world:

• Meze - Cucumber and Tomato Salad, Eggplant Puree and Turkish Black Olives with Pita Bread (Turkey)


• Pork Pot Stickers (China)


• Debriziner Sausage and Sauerkraut in a Pretzel Roll, Apple Strudel with Vanilla Sauce, and Beck's Oktoberfest beer (Germany)


• Insalata Caprese Salad - Mozzarella Cheese with Cherry tomatoes and Basil Dressing


• Kielbasa and Potato Pierogies and Mark had the Paczki (Doughnut) (Poland) I also had a raspberry flavored wine from here, which was REALLY strong


• Grilled Lamb Chop with Caramelized Onions (Austrailia)


• Greek Salad with Pita Bread and Spanakopita - Savory Spinach and Cheese Pastry (Greece)


• Maple Glazed Salmon with Arugula and Roasted Corn (Canada)

I think my favorite was Germany with Greece and Poland not very far behind. Mark, Dad and I also stopped outside American Adventure again to listen to another concert: The Village People (Dad's choice). They only played 5 songs, but I did get Dad doing the "YMCA."

While in the World, we also saw the new updated Canada movie and then claimed our spot to watch Illuminations. Friday night was also extra magic hours at Epcot. We tried to ride Soarin' but the line was still 80 minutes at 10:00pm, so we skipped it and went over to the Living Seas. We all hit Mouse Gear on the way out, but Mark and I stayed in the store a little later. Mom, Dad and Ken went back to the room. We all started packing that night when we got back to the room. (Boooooooo!)

Coming up: time to go home
