Yes, definitely try it. It's so cheap for how much food you get as well.

This was my last day at Universal so I just had to have a regular butterbeer in the leaky cauldron. I can't believe how much bigger the serving is here than in the studio tour in London. Really good though, I'm a cream soda lover and to me it tastes like a creamier version of that.

I planned on trying dippin' dots but it was absolutely pouring with rain with no signs of letting up so I decided to call it a day around 1pm and head to the mall.

Back to I-drive on the way back to my hotel and couldn't resist Applebees again.
Had a small plate chicken tenders with fries and BBQ sauce with a seasonal Sam Adams. These were lovely and only cost about $7.99 I think.

Was then persuaded by the server to try Churro S'mores. I don't usually have room for dessert in the states but I'd make room for these, they were awesome.

Spent the morning at IOA for the last time, I don't have any food pictures from the morning as I assume I was saving myself for yet another panda express at CityWalk
This time I went for a plate with Orange Chicken and Honey Sesame Chicken with fried rice.

Then it was time to head to the Magic Kingdom for Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party, which was awesome, would definitely recommend. I seem to recall being full from panda express STILL. So I just had a few snacks.

Started off with a frozen lemonade from one of the stalls in Frontierland as it was so hot in the afternoon.

As it got dark a lot of the food places were really busy and there was nowhere to sit as the party itself was sold out. Headed to Casey's Corner and opted for Corn Dog Nuggets. These were really good! I struggle with a whole corn dog as I find them stodgy but these bite size ones were nice and not bad at $5.99.

Headed over to Tomorrowland next and grabbed another slushie, blue raspberry this time.

Figured I had to try one of the MNSSHP snacks so I went for the Candy Corn Soft Serve, this was really good although it does just taste like Vanilla, it has candy corn in the bottom of the cone though which was pretty cool.

I only trick or treated at about 3 different stations, as I didn't want to lug the candy around with me on the rides, but this was my haul, so you can imagine how much you could collect if you did it seriously!

That's not bad, would love to try the Halloween party night.

Started the day at Landscape of Flavors at the Art of Animation resort, lots and lots of choice but as I wasn't that hungry I opted for a breakfast sandwich which I think was bacon, cheese and mickey shaped egg. This was ok, nothing special though. I wish I'd just gone for granola and fruit.

Ventured to Hollywood Studios for a few hours and it's not a trip to Disney without a Mickey Pretzel. Even better than I remembered...

Then it was off to Epcot to Food & Wine. I'd picked a Friday evening for this. BAD IDEA. It was absolutely heaving, so much so that I didn't even try that many things just because of the sheer queues, I even ended up leaving before Refelctions because of how busy the place was.

Anyway...

Started with a cheese fondue and sourdough from the Cheese Studio. I'm sure this was only $3.99 and was well worth it, probably one of the best things I had all trip.

Next it was on to France for a La Passion Martini Slush, which I *think* was Grey Goose, Cranberry and Passion Fruit. Either way, it was awesome, sweet but strong and so refreshing too.

Then I went to Patagonia for the beef skewer with chimichurri and boniato puree. So glad I went for this, it was really good, would definitely have it again.

Lastly I moved on to Germany where I had what I was looking forward to trying all trip, the Schöfferhofer Pink Grapefruit Hefeweizen and it certainly didn't disappoint. Wish I'd ordered the liter.

Then a quick trip to the caramel shop for some popcorn and I (rightly so) called it a day.

And that was Florida done. Pennsylvania was up next...

Some of those Food & Wine dishes look amazing. x
