Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 This is a brilliant move from a financial standpoint.But now the Flower and Garden Festival, which has always been pretty calm, is going to be as raucous as the Food and Wine Festival.I'm in.TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted January 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 A truly brilliant financial move would be keeping those DWPF with rum on the menu permanently....or at least until October.Of course that will mean I need to seriously increase my snack/beverage budget for our trip!

DaveInTN 3,247 Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 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. BradyBzLyn...Mo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted January 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 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.

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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted January 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 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: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
