This was our first time staying as guests at BC and walking through the IG, and I must say………..it is awesome!!! We were hungry and we had a plan, Market Place booths, here we come.
Now this was going to be fun because we had just planted a garden at home with lots of veggies and herbs. Josie is so into growing things and then eating them, so I knew this might be a hit. I had told her about all the “TRY IT” items they had for kids to try, kinda like a challenge, and she was all for it. Josie is a good eater, but she will sometimes spaz over trying something new, but it’s odd. Like she will eat cold broccoli and cauliflower, but not want to try a tomato. She will chow down on sautéed onions and mushrooms but won’t eat grilled mushrooms. So let’s just say I was hopeful, but not real sure what to expect.
We headed through the IG and went left and went straight to The Cottage in the UK. We came up to the booth and the stands next to each booth showcasing the items being served were a HUGE hit with Josie,





She then would run to the menu and look for the “TRY IT “sign, so here we had

potato chive and cheddar cheese biscuit with smoked salmon tartare and sour cream




Heirloom tomatoes with mozzarella and basil



And both were a hit!!!!!!! She loved them and so did we!!!

We kept walking around and decided to hit up the OZ play area, where of course the kids had a total blast, but first Josie wanted to stop at The Water Wise Herbs and Veggie stand and check out what was growing……















Oh and see the skies in the background..


Next up we knew a ride needed to fit into our plans, so the request was to go ride “The Future Ride” AKA….Spaceship Earth.
Which after would consist of us playing some games before we exited.







Now we were heading back to WS and Arnaud had a MAJOR stop in mind…….Mexico! But first we hit up the Florida Fresh booth and we had…….




Oops…………..no pic
Watermelon salad with red onion, arugula, feta and balsamic




Shrimp and stone ground grits with Andouille sausage, Zellwood corn, tomatoes and cilantro….

Oh My Gosh was the shrimp dish AMAZE BALLS!!!! Even Josie raved over that one too. The watermelon salad was also good, but that is something that seems pretty common these days and I have versions of that quite often. Josie enjoyed that too, but mostly the watermelon. Andre was hit or miss on most of these dishes, but he was trying some here and there too.

OK, so now moving on to Mexico and our love for margaritas!!! Funny thing here is that I absolutely cannot stand straight tequila, but in a margarita…………..not a problem. So what do we order??? A flight of organic tequila?!??!??




Also Rosita margarita on the rocks


Crab tostada with chipotle mayo and valentina sauce.


Well Arnaud and I shared the shots and let’s just say my taste for straight tequila has not changed. However the rose margarita and crab tostada were incredible. Arnaud’s fave of the whole trip!!! With a stamp of approval from Josie too.

From here we just walked around the rest of WS stopping here or there to check things out. I knew it was about time to start grabbing a spot for Illuminations, but we had a long day and were planning on saving it for another night, so we started to head back to the IG. Well with a stop in France for a certain something……………we will never decide on what we like more, a GG slush or GM slush. I do think that we may have narrowed it down to me liking the GG and Arnaud liking the GM, but hey, I’d take either one.





Once we headed out of the park and Arnaud and I were chatting, I noticed I hadn’t heard much form my babies…………well this is why..





Didn’t bother me one bit. We got back to the room and changed them into jammies and right into bed they went. I believe we stayed up for a bit getting more tings in order in the room, but then soon hit the hay as well.
