Day 7, August 09
Lazy day gone busy -
Part 2
And a few minutes later we
found ourselves getting off the ride and we decided to just leave
the park and go back to Kidani.
On the way to the exit
we came across a sweets shop
which really was interesting
and then we hit Starbucks for
the “usual” drinks, the
Iced Caramel Macchiato and the
Iced Black Tea Lemonade. We sipped our drinks while heading towards
the exit, where we got on the next tram out to the parking lot and
then we took the long hike back to our car. It was boiling inside
the car and while we stood beside it we decided that we wanted to
get a treat that we had not had yet, even though we had been at Walt
Disney World for about a week. We needed to get some Krispy Kreme
doughnuts. So off we went to Krispy Kreme and on the way there we
passed a KFC and since there is none in our area we decided that we
would pick up some for our late lunch. Once we had made it to Krispy
Kreme we decided to get a few glazed doughnuts and to get a few of
their speciality ones as well.
We did not stop to have some on
the spot, but brought it back to the car to have after lunch. Then
we turned around, went back to KFC and got ourselves some lunch,
which went into the boot of the car as well and back we went to
Kidani. During the day it was pretty easy to find parking close to
the elevator and we grabbed our lunch and went up to our room. There
we got some potato salad and coleslaw out of the fridge, opened a
Ceasar salad kit and then put our KFC goodies on the table.
We had bought the Tenders and
Wedges for 2,
6 Tenders,
Large Wedges, and two sauces
and it was just the perfect amount of food for the two of us. Once
we had finished our main course, Tom made some coffee and we shared
some of the speciality doughnuts.
While we were having lunch a
Florida rain shower had started and we just took a break,
downloading our photos and relaxing in front of the telly. At around
5pm we went back down to the car to drive over to the Beach Club for
a sweet afternoon treat. The rain had stopped and after a nice short
drive we arrived at the resort, parked the car and headed inside and
over to Beaches and Cream. We signed in and were told that it would
be a short 15 minute wait and we were handed a buzzer and told to
roam anywhere within the Beach and Yacht Club. We decided not to
walk away too far, so we just walked inside the Yacht Club and found
a seat. It did not take too long and our buzzer went off and we went
back to Beaches and Cream and were led into the restaurant and
seated at one of the small center tables.
Menu in hand we tried to figure
out what we wanted to try. The server put some ice-water on the
table and we placed our order and pretty soon our treats were
delivered.
Tom had decided on trying the
Grilled Banana Bread and Peanut
Butter, with Caramelized Bananas, Whipped Cream, and a Scoop of Ice
Cream while I wanted to try the
Brownie a la Mode, A gooey,
chewy Brownie, Hot Fudge, and Vanilla Ice Cream topped with Whipped
Cream, Chocolate Sprinkles, and a Cherry on top. Both dishes were
really good, but then they were really sweet as well and we both did
our best to make a dent into them, but we failed miserably. We both
had to leave around half of our desserts behind. We should have just
shared one. Once we were had paid our bill we walked out to Cresent
Lake
and enjoyed the stroll along
its shore over to the International Gateway. There were Extra Magic
Hours at Epcot that day and we still had two and half hours of
regular park time. So, when we had entered the park we went to the
left and strolled through England and then over to Canada.
There was a geocache to find
there and we looked around the gardens,
enjoying it, then went back to
the waterfall
and left towards the Chateau
Frontenac,
going through the shops and
looking at merchandise. Canada discovered we walked toward the front
of the park, but we could not walk by the stand that sells the
Canadian beer. Tom got himself a
Moosehead and we found a bench
nearby to just sit down and people watch while he enjoyed his drink.
