A 2 Week Grand Villa Extravaganza! Day 10: Lazy Morning at Epcot & Le Cellier
Day 10: Monday June 9 – Resort: OKW – Park: Epcot and HS
Howdy Friends! I hope you had a good week. As usual, we are (and were) very busy… Say, what do you make of the new layout of the Disboards? It’s kind of awkward, but I have a feeling once I’ve been using it for a few months, it will be brilliant… I particularly like not having to link my photos to photobucket. I actually write all my posts on a google doc and then copy them over, and I can insert the pictures right into the doc, and then copy it all and the pictures show up. How about that!
So now we are to day 10, or the the ⅔ point of our amazing vacation. We slept in this morning and slowly made our way to Epcot. The weather was once again sunny, and quite hot. Even with sunscreen, my sisters, mom and I had developed a light rash, so I wore a more covering top and higher sunscreen to recover from two water parks in three days. We had FP+ reservations at HS later in the evening, so this morning’s goal was to do attractions that had no wait times. Our first stop was Ellen’s Energy Adventure. We got most of the way through the pre show (Stupid Judy), and then the playback stopped. Apparently there was a problem with the ride portion of the show, so they cleared us all out. Oh well, another time, I suppose… We decided to do something in uncharted territory and headed over to Innoventions. The kids loved Habit Heroes and Storm Struck, even if the latter was a bit scary...
We also toured the Vision House. All together we killed over an hour in Innoventions. We had a late lunch scheduled at a highly anticipated restaurant: Le Cellier, but before that we had just about an hour to kill. So we headed towards the UK:
We stopped just past the pavillion to grab a pic on the bridge looking into France. Where was Brie?!?!
And then we took on a Phineas and Ferb Adventure, yet another first for all of us:
But before we could help Agent P foil Dr. Doofenshmirtz, it was time to head over to Canada for our Lunch (our ADR was for 1pm):
We were seated in two tables near each other, which irked us slightly as there was a nearby table that could’ve fit all of us. Oh well. At this point we all went a little picture crazy…
The pretzel bread was thoroughly enjoyable...
Then the parade of delicious food and beer began…
Although the poutine was a little different than what you’d find on the street in my childhood hometown of Ottawa, ONT, it was none the less delicious and went well with the amazing Canadian beer. I went a little overboard with the food pics, but since I took them, why not? I’m not sure what each was, though - sorry!
We all enjoyed dessert…
We were pleasantly full, and I managed to avoid being totally stuffed and uncomfortable like I was after the Yachtsman Steakhouse. Whew. We had planned it as the big meal of the day, and it worked out perfectly! Alrighty then… Next weekend I might be able to update a couple of times - I have Friday and Monday off! Yee Haw! See you real soon!
