RED Episode 87: 2019 Wine & Dine Half Marathon & Dana’s Picks from Epcot Food & Wine Festival
RUN
This week, we recap our Half Marathon at Walt Disney World in Orlando. We start with our experience at Hilton Bonnet Creek’s Marathon Weekends pre-race party. This is a big reason why we choose this hotel for RunDisney races whenever we can! Then we talk our strategy and course changes this year, plus weather, and the classic Mickey-themed medal. Finally, we got a great bonus medal for us as we completed the two-course challenge. There’s a reason Aimee looks so happy after this race, too...
LISTENER FEEDBACK
Sherry (@runsinaskirt on Instagram), Kristin (@kristersc on Twitter) and Steph (@justtakeadip on Instagram and at www.justadayinparadise.com) provided listener feedback for our episode today! They share their recommendations for the 2019 Epcot International Food and Wine Festival today on the show! We will intersperse their recommendations with Dana’s this week!
EAT
This week, we highlight Dana’s picks from the 2019 Epcot International Food and Wine Festival. We sampled the Lobster Roll from Hops and Barley. We tasted Butternut Squash Ravioli from the Wine and Dine Studio. Finally, as the rain came down, we tried the Frothy Ramen from Japan.
DRINK
We toasted our accomplishments with a non-alcoholic offering of Mango Bubble Tea from China. Then we had 3 Daughters Brewing Awake Coffee Blonde Ale from Hops and Barley. Finally, as we filmed our final segment in the rain (shout out to Katherine from the Japan booth for giving us plastic trash bags to try to keep dry!), we had Draft Sake in Japan.
BONUS: Steph’s recommendation this week flashes back to our Wine and Dine episode about Flavors from Fire from 2019. Check it out her
