Hump Day Edition of Extra! Extra! Read All About It! – 2013.Aug.07

two posts from last week…

• Another sandwich in the #2013eateachsandwich challenge @earlofsandwich… the bacon, egg, and cheddar… In all this Florida heat & humidity, I’m really taken with the breakfast sandwiches and the Just4Kids sandwiches

• And… we start off our discussion of past Food & Wine Festivals and what’s going on this year with “Anticipation… Swan & Dolphin Food & Wine Classic 2013” We really enjoy this event and have attended every Friday and Saturday night since it started in 2010 (we have some friends who’ve been to the Epcot International Food & Wine Festival every single year since it started) AND we’re making plans for this year! More Sake! And a pasta making class!

2012 Swan & Dolphin Food & Wine Classic – yum! calamari!

AND there’s a new FlipBoard magazine underway… “Adults Extra WDW Magic – Our Favorite Things re: Epcot Food & Wine Festival!” This magazine will be constantly changing as we prepare for the 2013 Food & Wine Festival etc… Please SUBSCRIBE to this magazine so that you’ll be notified of updates.

Oh! Oh! AND you can now read our FlipBoard magazines even if you don’t have the FlipBoard app on your phone or iPad! So, here’s a link to our latest magazine “Adults Extra Walt Disney World Magic – 13.08.04“… There are others if you’re interested 🙂

from the ether…

• Someone at The Hyperion Papers gave us their Disney Hollywood Studios Wish List back in July (I think it was Melissa’s fiancé), I’m a bit late with this too 🙂 I agree with all of the points, ESPECIALLY reopening the lounge above the Brown Derby. a Monsters Inc “door coaster” ride, an Incredibles attraction (afterall, I used to be ElastiGirl on one of the fan groups!), and creating Rick’s Cafe Americain… The Hyperion Papers also pointed us to two new Mickey Mouse cartoons, thank you!
• Disney Parks Blog announced the name of the new Masai Giraffe born at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, I had fun voting for the name — and my choice won! His name is “Mosi” meaning “first”
• The Disney Blog (unofficial) had a quote from an interview with R.A.Pederson (author of The EPCOT Explorer’s Encyclopedia and blog The Explorium)… Great quote and it really summarizes what makes Epcot so special… aspiration and inspiration
• And lastly, from The Explorium blog: a post commemorating the blog’s second anniversary and another “waltdisneydoingfunnythings“
