Those DW floats with spiced rum have been available at Aloha Isle in the MK for years. You just need to carry a couple of these minis in your diaper bag.

Just got back from EPCOT. Took 291 pictures, only a couple of desserts from Norway.

You both have no idea how the wheels are turning in my head right now....

Orlando Attractions magazine has posted an article on the 20th annual Epcot International Food & Wine Festival, which will be held from March 6 through May 19, 2013, including what's new for this year's festival...

I realize that you live and breathe for Food & Wine Festival - don't get my hopes up that this article is about it :)

I may just spend my entire time in this area. What could be better in life than a Dole Whip with Spiced Rum at Epcot. Life doesn't get any better.

Agreed! Find a spot next to a beautiful floral display (take your pick!) and ENJOY.

Is Flower & Garden a big draw for Rick with his photography? I would imagine you could shoot for days and days there.

You could say that it's a big draw. We have some incredible pictures, but it's slow moving because every few feet we stop to take a picture of something and there may be multiple angles to shoot from, day and night. Nice memories, but it takes us about 2 days to cover everything. At least this year I will have a wonderful beverage to enjoy while I'm waiting.

LOL!! I figured that would be the answer. I predict many Dole Whip Rum Floats in Barb's future!

I can't even imagine what I'd be like with my little point and shoot, never mind if I had real equipment and actually knew what I was doing!

Once he's done sorting through them all you'll have to share some of your faves.

Of course that might be what.... August? :rofl2:
