I’ve been putting this off for far too long. In the next week or so I’ll post THREE of these in total, catching up on my July activities. The best and most memorable story will be the second entry, to be posted tomorrow.
In the nearby town of Minneola, the new Crooked Can Brewing Company building opened; it originated in Winter Garden. They are a microbrewery around for years but the building is massive. I went by myself the third day they were open. There were food trucks outside, right by a massive yard which has a splash pad-among other things-making it clear they’d be happy to have families visit. On my own, I purchased food from a food truck. A few days later, I returned there, this time with someone else. A few eateries set up like a food hall are available… well, not all of them are open yet. I’ll be kind and not go into details as the food itself was fine. However, it was supposed to be quick service and wasn’t; the food took like a half hour to be done! Yes, a manager type did warn of “long waits” even before we got in line, but still… Otherwise, I can’t complain about the place.
I’ve had more than one new soda as of late. Mug Root Beer Floats Vanilla Howler is not quite as good as A&W’s Root Beer Float yet I still like it.
This past Monday I returned to EPCOT, chiefly to go on their new version of the Soarin’ ride, which simulates you floating through the air as you visit various sights on a giant screen. It was originally devoted to California scenery then spanned the world. Due to what this year’s anniversary is, the theme was changed again to visiting locations across the United States. This included the Statue of Liberty, the Grand Canyon, Alaska, and Mount Rushmore. It’s still a fun attraction where the sights are augmented by scents that are pumped in. I can still recommend this attraction, in other words.
To reiterate, I’ll return sometime on Monday.
