Quick Trip

My Re-do trip to Disney has come and gone and it has been quite a long time since my last post here. This last trip to Disney was much shorter than my last venture to the sunshine state but it was much more enjoyable. My best friend and I had only three full days in the parks but thanks to park hopper passes we were able to visit each of the four Disney parks. We did not necessarily accomplish everything we would have liked to during this trip, but that just means we will have to go back again to see the rest!

It amazes me how popular some of the attractions remain after such a long span of time. I was unable to visit one of my favorite rides, Soarin', due to a two hour wait at almost every time of day. With a lack of fast passes to go around, it seemed that waiting in line for this ride would have cut into time I could have been doing so much more. Then again, I shouldn't be too surprised about the ride's popularity, there are so many other Disney-addicts like myself around the world that flock to this magical land as much as possible just like I do.
As stated in my previous post, this trip was my first as an adult of legal age. I didn't realize the amount of places within the Disney world that sell alcohol. I suppose there are just some things you do not see in the parks unless you are looking for it! I had been under the impression that alcohol was only sold in the World Showcase of Epcot. Although the varieties available are much greater here, alcohol is also offered in Animal kingdom, and Hollywood Studios at certain locations along with every hotel restaurant.
After viewing some Disney specials on the Travel Channel I made it a mission to try the Grand Marnier Orange Slush at the wine cart in France section of Epcot. This drink comes in a disposable martini style plastic cup and it is just as good as it looks! It is made with Grand Marnier Champagne and adds a fizz to the orange slush that gives it that extra something.


The Habibi Daiquiri from a Moroccan drink cart is also a drink worth searching for. This concoction made of rum, sweet and sour mix, strawberry puree and orange blossom water will have you coming back for more. Reasonably priced, this deep pink drink will make you feel like you really have traveled to another country.



Hollywood Studios offers a drink called the Stoplight Margarita. This refreshing, colorful drink is sure to cool you down on those unbearable hot Florida days.
