I'm glad that an accessibility post was next after that.

Made one last trip to the Epcot food and wine festival for this year.
The Chocolate Pudding Cake with Kentucky bourbon caramel was really good, but my favorite dessert overall was the Apple-Cinnamon and Caramel Mini Churros Sundae with Vanilla Bean Gelato.
