Full of schnitzel and pretzel rolls
mmmmm..... if you're gonna be full of something....
I headed out of Germany to walk off the Bavarian buffet I had eaten
Yeah, and then that does become something of a necessity, doesn't it?
Schnee Weiß (that’s the extent of my high school German for you).
I must've picked up more than I thought... I got that right away.
(in the heat again – Disney really needs to invest in the shade market).
I don't understand why they don't put the dome up when it gets hot like that.
I was glad I joined when I did as they closed the line off after the person behind me!
Good timing!
This Snow White was lovely and had the voice down pat.
That impresses me. The voice part, I mean.
I apologised for borrowing her dress to take my profile pic but she said I could borrow it any time I like so score
You should have said, "How about right now? Meet me in the restroom."
although if you ask my relatives they’re Sicilian first, then Italian
I believe that! Have you ever seen My Blue Heaven with Steve Martin?
There's a funny scene about Thanksgiving and Sicily.
have travelled a lit bit through Italy including to Venice which the pavilion leans heavily on in terms of theming.
And I was gratified when Kay recognized it.
but there was nothing that made we want to stop and look around
I hear ya. Doesn't it seem like just an overwrought restaurant?
So I kept walking and made it back to the USA (thank god I still had my visa!).
I didn't know you'd need a Visa to visit. I thought a passport would be enough.
Again like Italy there was nothing that really caught my eye so it was another walk-by visit.
I keep hearing good things about the Voices of Liberty choir in there.
I barely remember the American Adventure, I last saw it in 1987.
Well that was a spectacularly bad plan because apparently they are super popular and the line was closed off pretty much straight after opening
.
Really! I had no idea. Wonder why?
So with that I trudged back to Japan (and it was super hot so it was definitely trudging).
I hear ya. I did little to no sashaying while we were down.
I’d planned to buy one souvenir in each park and Japan was where I was going to get my Epcot one.
Good choice.
The process was a little confusing but I eventually realised you had to go to another counter in the store to pre-pay before going back and handing in your receipt to get a number and to get in line.
Didn't know that either.
It was on my to do list with the girls, but for whatever reason, it never happened.
It did happen in Hawaii, though, so they did get their pearls eventually.
The super enthusiastic CM and I counted down – ‘san, ni, ichi’ and I had my pearl.
How was it? The pearl, I mean.
I was there 15 minutes before the scheduled meet time and only just made it into the session.
Wow. This is really surprising me.
I knew that there were massive lines for Frozen but I had no idea it was this bad for these guys.
So it was about 30 minutes before it was my turn.
I will not wait 30 minutes for a character meet.
Well..... maybe for Ariel. But that's it!
Jasmine was better than Aladdin (which I suppose is an accurate representation of the film).
Oh? I thought Aladdin was more animated (pardon the pun) than Jasmine in the movie.
It's been a long time since I've seen it, mind you.
In fact just last year I spent five weeks travelling around France having an amazing time eating my body weight in runny cheeses and delicious pastries.
Totally jealous.
Then again, it's a bit closer for you.
It was pretty good – but beware they do take the caramel pretty far when making it so it has a lot of bitterness to it.
Noted. But probably won't remember.
It was a very pretty film but super dated
Well you would know! I've really only seen Paris, so I didn't even notice anything off about the film.
After the show I headed around into the UK but there is not a lot to see there.
Unless you have a DD who's into Dr. Who... then you
have to go into the shops.
And then the thunder started.
Again?!?!?
I ran to Canada while the rain was still light
Good choice. We'll always let you in and keep you dry, too.
Like biblical level rain - I was expecting to see an ark at any moment.
This is so funny to me.
When I saw your title for this update, the very first thing that popped into my mind was
"Tell that to Noah!"
I’d much rather sit in a theatre and watch a single screen than try and watch something all around you while standing up!
Interesting. I know you are not alone in that department, but I really enjoyed looking around and seeing what was going on behind and around me.
seriously invest in the Disney poncho it is well worth the $10
Nope. Gonna stick with my $1 Walmart special.
There was one more thing I wanted to see before leaving Epcot and that was Figment. Why? Because Kathy talks about it all the time on the disunplugged and I had to see what the fuss was all about.
Oh, boy. I had to go on it lots when the DDs were little.
So glad they're older now.
It was a walk one, because duh,
Figment (most annoying mascot ever)
The song is awful and gets stuck in your head (I refuse to repeat the words here because I don’t want to inflict in upon anyone else!). But at least I could cross it off my list.
Yep. And that's the only reason to go on it. To cross it off your list.
And then you wonder why on Earth it was on the list to begin with!
