Sorry for the delay! But I knew I needed to at least finish up this day before I leave for WDW in 2 days! Eeepp! Still so much to prepare but I'm happy to get away!
Day 2, Part 2 - Festival of the Arts
After breakfast and some rides it was time to enjoy the Festival of the Arts a bit.
Saw The Living Statues (but didn’t get in photos with them because there were lines and no PP)
Checked out the rocking horses which were adorable. And I checked out art tents in showcase plaza. Bought some postcards of art prints (for a friend and for me).
Of course more photopass stops!
Caught the acrobats, which was fine, but not earth shattering (I think it was also hot and we were standing in the sun, so were happy to move on).
Saw some of the chalk paintings, unfortunately the shadows didn't let the photos turn out well!
Food at Pop Eats – convinced mom to get the Almond Frangipane Cake layered with Raspberry Jam and Callebaut Belgian Chocolate, but I didn’t end up liking it (I think she did; I’m just not really a jam fan). I got the Sous Vide Poulet Rouge Chicken Roulade with Apples and Sage served with Warm Brie Fondue, Blueberry and Beet Gel and garnished with Apple and Beet Chips, which I think I liked (hard to remember this long ago)! As we were ordering, a group of maybe 200 15s walked by! It was pretty insane and I wish we had taken video/photos!
Went to the art marbeling station. I asked if mom wanted to get a scarf, but she declined. A lady was working on one so we watched hers (though she didn’t quite get the whole technique for the raking through the paint, which was a bit aggravating to watch). Crazy how the paint stayed on immediately and they could wring out everything!
Stopped to work on the mural. I got a green paint and was soo annoyed at people who did not do a good job at filling in the boxes, so after I finished my 6 boxes, I went around and touched up a couple while mom was laughing! I know they are on the last murals currently at Epcot, so hopefully they still will have some squares left by the time I visit on Sunday!
Very focused on my task!
Stopped at Decadant Delights to get the White Chocolate and Purple Sweet Potato Mousse, Caramel, Coconut and Maple Meringue. Meh, wouldn’t bother getting again. Too chalky. A little girl sitting next to me on the bench had one of the cookies and smushed all the colors together so it looked brown! Not too appetizing but she had fun!
