The kids love the fries (or chips) in the UK, so we used a snack credit for them to get some.

And then on to France. Where my favorite drink can be bought.

And onward!!! Apparently past Morocco.

And then on to Japan where DD had to get a Kaki Gori

OK, so I am a freak for old sewing machines. And I saw one in the Der Teddy Bear store there. DD was coloring a Perry on a Stick,

So while DS and I waited, I checked out the machine.

These are often displayed incorrectly. This is the BACK of the machine. The base was glued to the counter.

Anyway, obviously, this is a German Machine. These were made in the early 1900’s. I would place this one pre-1920. It still worked and if you would have threaded it up right then and there, you could have sewed something. The hand crank was blocked with a small screw, but the needle bar moved freely. It was a lovely machine.
I may have an unhealthy addition to old sewing machines and I have quite a few ranging from 1908 to 1961. And I have a modern one as well. I love my vintage ladies though. So much fun to tinker and sew with.
More photos of the shop while waited for DD to color. DH was in the LONG line to get beer outside.

I just love Epcot, mainly World Showcase. Your photos of the flowers are just breathtaking!
I have never tried the Grey Goose Slushie. My favorite is the Margarita in Italy, but I've got to give the Slushie a try next time.
I've always heard the crowds are bad during Spring break, but they don't look terrible from your photos. Were the waits awful without FP?

I tried not to take too many crowd photos. But it was bad. Like a wall of people at times. We knew it would be that way, so we dealt with it and just headed back tot he room when we had had enough. It was LOTS easier without the scooter this time for sure.
The pink one is from the Flower and Garden booth that is only up during the Flower and Garden festival. But they have a lemon one and an orange one that they serve year round from a booth on the water side of the pavilion across from Chefs de France. I love the lemon one, too. The pink is may favorite though.

After we enjoyed our delicious cold beer in Germany, we made our way towards Mexico for the boat ride.

I have just recently watched the documentary about Walt’s trip to South America that inspired this movie. So this made more sense to me and was interesting. If you haven’t seen it, I recommend it. Very interesting.
Then we headed back to Japan. We had a dinner ressie at Teppan Edo that I was looking forward to (continued in next post)

We checked in and got seated right away.
[/URL]
We waited a bit for our chef. Seemed like about 15-20 minutes.
[/URL]
Your typical Japanese steak house food. Very good though. DD got chicken, DH, DS and I got shrimp and steak.
Tori- fresh chicken breast $24.95
Asakusa- steak and shrimp $30.95
[/URL]
[/URL]
We loved the noodles and veggies!!
[/URL]
[/URL]
[/URL]
For dessert, I got the ginger chocolate cake.
Chocolate Ginger Cake- a layered cake with ginger flavored filling and a rich chocolate icing $6.95
The ginger was a little weird, but it was good.
[/URL]
DD got ice cream
Soft Serve Ice Cream- vanilla, green tea, or vanilla-green tea swirl $4.95
[/URL]
DH got the green tea cheesecake,
Green Tea Cheesecake- a creamy blend of cheese, eggs, & milk with Matcha Green Tea, topped with raspberry sauce $6.95
[/URL]
DS went back the room before dessert. He wasn’t feeling well.
DD wanted some of this soda that she loves from the shop.

Here are the things we bought at Mouse Gear.

After that, we headed back to the room for the night and check on DS who had a bad headache. DH stayed with DS, while DD and I went to the pool near our villa.

Hi! Just found your report and I enjoyed reading through it. We went a little after you and it's interesting to see everything I missed.
I love the bags you made, very cool.
I can't believe you had to deal with your issue for 2 hours! I'm glad they gave you FP but I don't know if you could get all that time back.
I'm enjoying all your food pics, makes me wish we'd tried some more places.
Nice pic of Divine, we missed her.
I tried to take pics of all the topiaries, it looks like I missed Peter Pan. Oh, well.

Following along! What a wonderful trip report..your EPCOT F&G pics are amazing! Really makes me want to be there...but your pics make it look like I am! Nice job
Our favorite ride in EPCOT is the Gran Fiesta tour...I grew up watching The Three Caballeros so it brings back lots of great childhood memories. The movie where Walt goes to South America (Walt & El Grupo...I think that's the title) is such a wonderful documentary about Disney animation and the films inspired by the trip (Caballeros and Saludos Amigos)...now I have to watch it again! Anyways...looks like you all are having a nice relaxing trip...how is the FP+ working out for you in Epcot? Are you trying for a fourth FP+?

That is what keeps us going back. To do the things we missed. I still haven't done everything.
I love the bags you made, very cool.
Thanks!! It helps earn me some extra Disney money.

Oh, it was longer than 2 hours. Over the course of several days. And I took a week after we got back to get it all straight. At least I think it is.
I'm enjoying all your food pics, makes me wish we'd tried some more places.
I love seeing other people's food pics, so I make sure and get as much as I can to share.
Nice pic of Divine, we missed her.
She is so beautiful. I love watching her.
I tried to take pics of all the topiaries, it looks like I missed Peter Pan. Oh, well.
He was hiding up on top of the building.
I HAD to buy those sandals. The cake was OK. I don't think I would get it again though. But I would definitely eat there again. The rest of the food was great.

Thanks for following!! I have a good camera. Photography is not my strongest talent.

The FP+ worked well for the rest of the trip. We never tried for a 4th one. Three was enough and then we just rode other things that we didn't have to wait too long for. In the future, though, I would love to have a 4th option. And they can ditch the stupid tier system. Yes, that documentary was a good one. We had a great trip as always. I'm ready to go back!!!
Thanks!! I have a little sewing business making things to support my expensive Disney habit. My facebook page is The Busy Thimble if you want to take a look
They are fun to make. So many cute fabrics our there!!

Day 4 –Part 5
We got DH settled in the room and made sure DS had some headache meds, and DD and I headed over the pool nearest to our villa. I think this one is called the Grandstand Pool. We liked it, it was nice and quiet and there weren’t too many little kids in the hot tub.
Here is a photo tour.

We enjoyed our time at the pool, but I needed a shower, a drink and some ice on my bad ankle. So we headed back to the room for the night.
Some resort details.
This for you Spanish Moss lovers.
