Club Africana, Drinks Are Free! - Day 2: Membership's a smiling face

[nanasamboy]

*snigger* fufu!

What a lovely day! I need to do more food-centric days as that looked lovely. I got all sad seeing the pictures at Food and Wine - I miss it so much! :'(

We spent a long time working out if it was worth it, I think we got our money's worth! It was so good.

All sounds good, what are the AP badges?

See more...

They certainly were, those glasses were lovely.

The AP badges were just different coloured badges, with AP on them

Nice relaxing visit to Epcot - we went while the Flower and Garden festival was on and loved all the food kiosks.

Doing well with all the badges and bead collecting today.

We made sure that we could make the most of what the club lounge had to offer - didn't seem much point doing it otherwise. It helps that the food and the setting was so nice. Free drinks also help

It's definitely worth doing, as long as you can make the most of the offerings, as we did

Sounds like a fun afternoon at Epcot! Where those chocolate squares free?! I'm guessing not, knowing Disney

Yes, it's definitely a resort worth exploring. We planned to spend plenty of time there, as there was lots of activities that we knew Isabella would enjoy.

Unfortunately those squares were not free. However, if you go to the Ghirardelli shop at Disney Springs you get a free square every time you go in

We did say that a few times; with all the activities around the resort, and having access to the Club Lounge, you could almost spend a week there without visiting the parks!

Can you only get the chocolate squares during the F&WF?

See more...

No, the squares are available all year round from the Ghirardelli shop at Disney Springs, and in supermarkets too. They're only at the Festival Centre during F&W though.

Some great food options throughout the day - beginning to think a trip to F&W festival may be in order one day in the future!

Thanks for sharing.

Oh yes, F&W is great fun, definitely worth a visit or three

Definitely worth doing one day, but you have to take advantage of what's on offer - we definitely did!

Why does Disney insist on trying AP holders like second class citizens?! Those badges are a rubbish ‘gift’, they couldn’t even stretch to pins?!

How did I miss that cheese tart at Food & Wine!? I hope it returns this year.

Love Jo’s t-shirt, we miss you Ellen!
