Snack Recon: Apple Caramel Crunch

Found at the All in WDW Readers’ Favorite Epcot and WDW Parks Quick Service, Sunshine Seasons, how about this for a mid-morning snack?

Liberally filled with apples and covered with caramel, oats, and nuts, it was very moist. Tasted delicious!

It’s a “Sunshine-y” Day in Mickey’s World!

It is!  It really is!  Mrs. All in WDW and I “landed” in The World yesterday at about Noon, and let me tell you … it is sunny, and it was hot! 

Actually, as usual, we drove down from The ATL.  But, since I “pilot” the “bus”, I didn’t get to watch the first half of yesterday’s finale voting nearly as close as I often do.

Imagine my surprise when I saw, first, that Columbia Harbour House was, literally, out of the picture mid-way through the day!

Then, I was completely shocked to see that Flame Tree Barbecue was actually in the lead!  No, I wasn’t surprised that the BBQ was earning a lot of our support.  But, it was beating Sunshine Seasons?

Let the “Sunshine” in!

Fortunately, I was able to watch the rest of the dogfight between the two beloved Quick Services, as we relaxed around the resort for the afternoon and evening, because it became an epic battle.

Yes.  As billed, yesterday was an epic finale!  It certainly was a close and epic finish.  Epcot’s Sunshine Seasons is an epic eatery.  And it is the All in WDW Readers’ Favorite WDW Parks Quick Service!

Great work, my friends!  THANK YOU very much for your support!  Over 100 votes in yesterday’s finale!  Phenomenal!  Thanks!

Now, it’s off to the parks for us!  See ya’ real soon!

Welcome to the EPIC Parks Quick Service Finale! VOTE!

Uh, yeah.  EPIC.  What an outstanding Final Four!  In fact, of all the “tournaments” we’ve ever run, this might be the best Finale we’ve ever seen!  I mean, look at it.  This quartet could just as well end in a four-way tie!

Seafood versus BBQ.  French bistro versus an unmatched variety of “sun-drenched” choices.  We have it all!  They have it all!

Mmm.  Love me some good BBQ!

Mmm. Love me some good BBQ!

But, which – which, I ask you! – has enough to win the ultimate prize?  Which will become the All in WDW Readers’ Favorite WDW Parks Quick Service?  Hey!  You know the drill … VOTE!

So, what do you think my friends?  We’re the choices tough yesterday?

Actually, looking at the results, I’m thinking that the clear-cut fan favorites were pretty straightforward and obvious.

Maybe today will be tougher?  I know that tomorrow’s finale will be tremendously difficult.
