We don't have enough credits! 16 nights Universal and Disney (DDP) September 2017 - Day 6
Today we planned Epcot morning EMH so just had some cereal in the room that we'd brought from home. I really don't like American cereal and find their counterparts to ours far too sweet. So we brought Honey Nut Shredded Wheat!
We'd also brought some cheap plastic bowls we got from Amazon that had to be ditched as we had no room on the way home! While in Epcot we stopped in Sunshine Seasons for coffee and a cinnamon roll. We used 4 snacks. We enjoyed these and they kept us going until we reached World Showcase where we planned on using some snacks at Food & Wine. I had picked up a passport at the entrance so I knew what was on each menu. We started in Canada as I knew I wanted filet mignon. And Marie knew she wanted some cheddar cheese soup. These were both good. The filet in particular was amazing and a fantastic use of a snack credit! The soup was nice but Marie was disappointed by the portion size. I mean I know it's a snack and you get a small pretzel breadstick but this was such a tiny portion it was actually shocking! It's also disappointing that seating around WS is minimal and often you need to stand at a table (if you're lucky enough to find one!). We then stopped in Belgium as I wanted to try the Braised Beef. We basically shared it as Marie tried a bit and liked it. We found some tables in the shade in Morocco to eat this which was great. We also used a couple of snacks to get bottled water. While in Morocco anyway I nipped round to the Morocco stall to get some Baklava. This one was chocolate. Again we shared this as I'd cut it into 4 and Marie liked it more than she thought she would! We stopped off in America as I wanted an American Dream. This is vanilla ice cream with strawberry and blue raspberry slush. Marie just had a vanilla soft serve. Next was Germany and we had Schinkenudlin (I have no idea if that's right! It was something along those lines.) Basically this was cheesy pasta with ham(?) which had been baked. Again we shared. I really liked it but Marie thought it was just OK. Next was China and the hoisin duck steamed bun. We got one each of these. I really liked this but although Marie enjoyed the flavour she doesn't like the fact that duck can be very fatty so she didn't finish it. We were defeated after this I'm afraid! Dinner had originally going to be anything or nothing depending on how we faired at F&W however with Irma starting to cause trouble we changed our Narcoossee's ADR from the Sunday (when we expected to be under curfew) and managed to get one for that evening. I love these little candle holders! We were given some bread to start. This was nice but nothing special. Marie got a cocktail of some description and we both got diet coke as our drink. Plus we also got tap water so loads of glasses on our small table! As we'd been able to do last year we could sub dessert for either a small salad or small plate of the lobster bisque. We did have to ask our server if this was possible though. Marie and Mum had enjoyed the bisque so much last year we both decided to go for that. This was lovely and creamy with small bits of lobster in it. I really enjoyed this and was glad I'd decided on this instead of dessert. For mains we were both pleased to see the Surf n' Turf back on the menu without a supplement. It has changed however to a sirloin steak instead of a filet but we both chose it anyway. This was lovely and I really enjoy the variety of having the lobster and steak. As you can see it would have been nearly $150 with Marie's cocktail but cost us 4 TS credits plus the $27.90 tip which we charged to the room. So tallying our credit use today - 15 snacks and 4 TS credits. Forgot to add dessert which was a slice of our cookies and cream pie. Edited at 03:20 PM. |
