It's my pot-pie
Anyway, we stayed at Disney's All Star Music in the Broadway area. It was no Grand Floridian, but it was still very nice, and we didn't spend that much time in the room anyway. I think the biggest difference for me was there were exponentially more children. Speaking of which we saw a LOT of people with very small children (like infants). I decided that if I ever had children I wouldn't take them to Disney until they were like 40" tall, so they could go on the rides. Also they would have to walk on their own, no strollers. When they were tired enough to need to be carried or strollered we would go back to the room and take a nap.
Perhaps this is why I'm not parent material.
We did go diving at the Living Seas, however it wasn't as cool as usual because the Living Seas was closed for refurbishment. It was still mega-cool though, I just like to play with the people in the viewing area. It is supposed to be open again by the time we are going back to meet Roland's parents. They have some new sharks in the tank which was awesome. All the animals were fairly active because of the low barometric pressures left by Wilma and that they were just fed about an hour before we jumped in.
We also were lucky enough to stumble into the Epcot Food and Wine Festival. What a genius idea! Each of the countries represented in the showcase, plus a bunch more, each had a little booth where you could buy small samples of different dishes at a very reasonable price. One of the highlights of my stay was the lunch that we had at the festival. We started lunch at 12:30 at one end of the World Showcase, walked around and shared a little of this and a little of that all the way around to the other end. Then we turned around and walked back and got little bits of dessert on the way back. By the time we were done it was 3:30! It was awesome, I had a really good time sharing food with Roland and trying all sorts of cool food items. We had some really good pot stickers, a very interesting spring roll that I absolutely loved. It was cold and in a clear-ish wrapper (sorry I don't know what it is called) and had mint in it. I could have eaten quite a few of them. At Germany we had some excellent sausage and sauerkraut, some great curry chicken (I think in Turkey), and for dessert we tried a kiwi custard roll (from New Zealand of course). It was fantastic. I definitely think we should go back (minus the hurricane extras - we were clearly not the only ones who fled to Orlando). Anyway, all this talk of food has gotten me quite hungry, so I'm off to raid the kitchen.
