We caught what's known as a "Character Palooza" when we were at Epcot on Saturday, September 5! This is typically in the little alley area between the UK and Canada Pavilions.
(X marks the spot!)

This experience featured Baloo from Jungle Book, Pinocchio, a penguin from Mary Poppins, Geppetto from Pinocchio, and the super rare Perla & Suzy from Cinderella!

Many times these are characters who are getting their first experience crowd-facing so they're only out for a brief time. Lines tend to be short so keep your eyes open as you wander through the parks!

Ryan and I went to Geo-82 mid-day to try the new cocktails since I was there in April. We found the Food & Wine Festival to be lacking in awesome beverage options so this worked out really well. We also managed to time it perfectly with a rain storm!

Ryan tried the Olive Oil Martini and the Peach Shrub Whisky Smash.

I had the Pink Peppercorn Clover Club and the Clarified Bee's Knees.

The cocktails here are complex and expertly crafted. It's too much to describe in print! We'll aim to give a video review in the coming days when we recap our Food & Wine Festival thoughts.

Mexico Global Marketplace is a hit and a miss.

Note: we did not try either of the featured margaritas in favor of sticking to the GOAT, La Cava del Tequila.

Voices of Liberty finale. WOW. Talent like this is hard for my brain and emotions to process.
