RED Episode #135: Whatever It Takes 5K, Geyser Point, & AbracadaBar At Walt Disney World
RUN
Medal Chasers has introduced a virtual race series dedicated to supporting some great charities as well as some of our favorite Marvel heroes! So we had to run a few of the races while we were visiting Walt Disney World. We had the chance to stay at Boulder Ridge Villas at Wilderness Lodge and take in the scenery that is completely different from Florida and takes us to the Pacific Northwest. This week’s hero is Aimee’s favorite, Black Widow. The medal features Black Widow’s iconic belt. We ran the Whatever It Takes 5K around this scenic resort to support Abby’s House. This organization supports low-income, battered, and homeless women. It was a fun setting.
EAT
The Wilderness Lodge is home to a fantastic outdoor bar with a beautiful view of the water. Geyser Point Bar & Grill also has a range of delicious dishes to try. We couldn’t decide, so we split some great dishes. Charcuterie, Cheesy Barbecue Brisket, Crispy Fried Oysters, and the Bison Cheeseburger were all amazing, and we break them down on the show this week. There is something for everyone on this menu.
DRINK
AbracadaBar is a bar on the Boardwalk where we found a magical theme and tasty cocktails. We tried bourbon and rye cocktails. The first was a Black Manhattan with hints of orange, a slight bitterness, and the punch of Rye whiskey. The Parlor Trick is bourbon-based and includes soda water and simple syrup to let the bourbon shine! It was a darker and cozy environment that makes you want to see some magic and stay awhile.
