Flight Booked: Memorizing the Flower and Garden Menus Before We Go

The Flight Is Booked

We booked our flight! We are very excited. Now, on to memorizing the Flower and Garden menus. How do you manage your trip plans? How do you remember everything? What usually gets thrown by the wayside?

My Menu Memorization Problem

This is what usually happens: I memorize and plan menus and meals, but then we get to the parks and all I want is chicken nuggets and fries. It's just a comfort thing, I mean, besides the fact that Disney chicken tenders are literally the best. But I'm getting better.

Over Labor Day, at Food and Wine, I did get some delicious food at the booths, but really only because DH was hungry and our friends and daughter wanted to go ride Guardians again. We didn't feel like it, so we went off together. He stood in a line or two, I stood in a line or two, and then we ate at a picnic table. It was fun, and the food was completely delicious.

A Food and Wine Flashback: Grilled Steak and Corned Beef Nachos

This was an extremely delicious grilled steak with a chimichurri sauce, peppers, onions, and potatoes. That steak was sooo good! I literally saw them grill it right in front of me. Perfection!

Corned beef nachos: also totally delicious. Not too salty, just flavorful and savory!

I'm hoping this time my daughter will keep me in line, literally. She has a list of foods she wants to try, and so do I, and they mostly overlap, so we should be set.

Counting Down to the Topiaries

I'm also really looking forward to all of the topiaries. Man, I love all of those flowers! Is there a better flower and garden festival anywhere? We have a gorgeous arboretum near us, and they have an annual spring event with over 50,000 tulips and a fall event with over 50,000 pumpkins, and it's gorgeous, and I love it. But it doesn't even hold a candle to the Epcot Flower and Garden Festival. I don't even know how to process how gorgeous, witty, charming, and fun the flower displays can be.

So now we just wait, and memorize the menus of the food booths we are going to for sure remember to stop at and eat. I promise.
