Top Ten Foods at the EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival

We’re just back from the EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival and we had a fabulous time!

I’ve got so many things running through my head to post but I wanted to get our Top 10 Favorite Foods on the blog right away.

My wife Tracy and I each compiled our own list and you’ll see that we each have different tastes. She leans towards sweets and for me it’s seafood. But all of the foods we tried ranged from good to Outstanding!

Before I get to the lists a big thanks to Amy at Ears of Experience for setting up our hotel reservations at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort, it was great! We got a really nice room near the main building just like we asked for in our reservation.

We were at EPCOT Monday and Tuesday, 28 & 29 September and it was so hot!!! It felt like summer in Orlando… It was so hot I didn’t feel like trying many wines, I opted for beer instead.

The heat broke on the 30th but we were checking out to head home that day.

More to follow later, on to the lists…

Here are our Top Ten Countdowns with number 1 being the best!

We had a great time, used a high SPF sunscreen and tried to stay in the shade as much as possible (hard to do at the rear of the World Showcase mid-day), the crowds weren’t bad, people were friendly, just a super time!
