An Ellegant Life: Day 4 of our 2014 Trip to Disney

Walking over to Epcot

Day 4 of our fantastic trip sent us back to Epcot - our favorite park. We had no formal dining reservations for this day, so we were excited to pick and nibble and explore some of the quick service options.

In the morning, we headed to the Future World to get some attractions and rides in before making our way around the world. And as the day would turn out - a pretty epic day of drinking.

We ended up catching quite a few rides. We did Mission SPACE again, Ellen's Energy Adventure, Living with the Land, Soarin', and Journey into Imagination with Figment. On that ride, I lost my sunglasses! So Christopher was amazing and bought we another pair.

Mac & Cheese Topped Burger. Delicious!

We had lunch at the Electric Umbrella. They served a mac and cheese topped burger with bacon. Heart attack in a sandwich but absolutely delicious! And served as a good lining for the day of drinking we ended up having.

As if the mac & Cheese burger was not enough - tried the Nudel Gratin.

Got to have some German beer.

If Christopher gets a beer, I gots to have some riesling.

After lunch we made our way to the World Showcase. Our first stop was Germany so Christopher could grab a a couple of beers. While Christopher was waiting in line, I grabbed the Nudel Gratin because I clearly did not get enough mac and cheese at lunch. I also enjoyed a riesling while Christopher sipped his second beer. We then walked around a bit and took some pictures. We then got to France which meant - Grey Goose Grand Marnier martini time! Mmm - just as delicious as I remembered.

My favorite martini :)

After enjoying a pair of martinis, we then headed back to the resort to rest and relax for a bit. We sat out by the quiet pool, which was super warm, like spa warm so not refreshing. We headed over to the main pool where the pool bar is. I joined Christopher there and had a couple of mojitos and he enjoyed some beers.

Enjoying Spice Road Table and each other :)

We then were getting hungry for dinner so we decided to head back over to Epcot. I had wanted to try Spice Road Table in Morocco, so Christopher obliged. I couldn't believe the place was EMPTY at dinner time. It is a new restaurant and it is located right along the World Showcase Lagoon. We ordered a pitcher of sangria and the Tingis Platter. The platter came with a lamb slider, spicy sausage and a harissa chicken roll. We then ordered the calamari with a spicy sauce which was delicious too.

Sangria is starting to talk

Beautiful view from our table.

We ended up buying another harissa chicken roll AND a pitcher of sangria - oye! The sangria was a sparkling champagne sangria. To top the night off we had their chocolate pyramid, which came out perfectly when Illuminations started. We literally sat at our table and had a perfect view of Illuminations. It was a perfect night. Still surprised that barely anyone came into the restaurant while we were dining there.

Basically empty restaurant - crazy!

Definitely on our second pitcher

Chocolate Pyramid!

After Illuminations, we headed back to our room. Needless to say we were a little drunk. Somehow Christopher ended up picking up all of our packages we had sent to the resort, and broke our magic band reader for our room.
