Final note of the night: walked 18,523 steps (7.30 miles) just in Epcot and to/from Dolphin. Must. Soak. Feet. Good night

One of the evening's standouts -- beef w/roasted potatoes and beet salad w/manchego and serrano

The entertainment for the Spanish-themed evening:

Party for the Senses was awesome and ended with a spectacular thunderstorm! Back in the room after dodging the raindrops and lightning!

Did you know? You can only get full Food & Wine programs at turnstiles & a few other places, instead they have weekly guides at most locations.

Longest lines at the festival food booths that I saw were for the Lamb Chop at Melbourne, Australia.

Here's an interesting tidbit -- I walked 18, 776 steps today (7.4 miles). Yes, my feet hurt.
