4 days, 1 park and lots of resorts...and of course some ip-dips..A photo tour

[scottny]

So off we go to the Food and Wine festival.

First stop Poland.

I skipped here; Dude and HHBG had something to eat.

Then we looked at the other booths while we waited.

I believe I also went to use the bathroom here.

Now here I tried something, all I ever hear about is the soup from Canada. Well I had to get me some and try it.

This soup was fantastic.

Here they are eating their food.

Took note of the times for later.

This smelled so GOOOODDDDD…..

I think Dude and HHBG stopped here.

Steeb went here.

I looked here.

See Carrie smiling away in the back there. She loves her street shows.

They were funny to watch.

Then I found Dude and HHBG sitting on a bench but it got too sunny for HHBG so they moved to the shady bench by Rose & Crown.

Then Carrie got Fish & Chips. We proceeded to walk.

It was not busy.

Yep, this is where Carrie went.

ooh pretty.

con't....

 

[scottny]

This is the food & wine kiosk for France, I decided I needed something else in France.

While in line I feel a hand come down on my shoulder. I jumped a little, I thought it was Steeb or HHBG coming to get their ladies a drink, nope it Buzz. They had finished up what they wanted to do and were heading back to the hotel to swim. Told them I would see them later.

Now what did I get. Well….

A Grey Goose Slushy of course. My first one ever and it was so good. That sucker was gone quickly.

I cannot wait to eat here in December.

Now we came to the American Kiosks I guess. This one was Louisiana. Dude got in line. I believe Steeb did to. I went looking around.

I walked back here and got myself some beads. (Don’t judge me for flashing; I wanted to be on Jerry). :rotf:

No performers then.

We walked some more

I wanted a pic of Carrie with the ball so she posed for me. Thank you Carrie.

It came out dark but as you can see we saw Jasmine and Aladdin. I was hoping for the Genie but nope.

We then continued on.

I love the train sets.

Now I believe this where we all stopped and Dude and HHBG were going to go to ESPN to watch some ball. Carrie and Steeb decided to stay in Epcot so I had someone to hang with. I was prepared to wander for a few hours on my own but was happy I did not have to.

Time to stop….

Up next..

More looking at the countries and then off to Future World.

Hey Scott!

Great to see the pics again. I'll have to post the photopass pics from our ride on Test Track. Carrie sent me the CD last week. We've got them from both cars.

We had such a great time with everyone that day! Can't wait until we can do it again!

 

[scottny]

It was great and cannot wait to see the pics.

Ip-Dip II. sounds good to me.

 

[scottny]

Now it is just Carrie, me and Steeb. We start walking.

We go into Maelstrom.

Sorry so dark. I actually had fun on this.

Now we hit

I realize I am down to my last $20 ($200 goes fast in 2 ½ days). so while in line Steeb orders me a drink. I say “no”, he says “I just met you today, let me buy you a drink”. I busted out laughing. It just struck me as funny. So THANK YOU AGAIN STEEB.

Then we drank and walked towards Future World.

Then we found a bench and sat and drank.

That is when the fountain show began.

So we stood up and walked towards our destination

As we are walking there I see Amy (Disney Virgin) on "Enchanted". We say hello and ask where Tracy and Bill are. They were at Electric Umbrella eating.

Ok let’s ride.

If you have not ridden the new version and want to be surprised look away.

Con't...

 

[scottny]

I’m bringing Sexy back.

I am up on top.

Here is what they emailed me to me. I will post it at the end of this update.

I have Carrie’s also but do not want to ruin her tr.

After this Carrie and Steeb went into Innoventions, she wanted to try to build a robot.

I went to

They raised the price of the ice cream sandwich to $4.99 and it is no longer a snack credit. not sure if they did the same thing at MK. I had a vanilla shake.

Then I went in to find them, did not see them so walked over to the other one and Steeb found me.

Carrie and I went in here

It smelled and the line was not moving. We left.

Next up

Everyone tried the Beverly

Then we proceeded to walk some more.

Time to head over and see a show. Off we go.

Wait who is out here?

it is Mexican Donald.

Barges ready for tonight’s Illuminations

Ok we reached our destination.

 

[scottny]

Voices of America. I have never seen this before.

Carrie sat on the floor; Steeb and I chose a bench.

Not the best pics but I tried. I really enjoyed them they were really good.

Here is the pic I emailed to myself from Spaceship earth.

Time to stop.

Up next…

Dinner with Ip-Dips

 

[scottny]

Ok more to come later this afternoon.

 

[scottny]

Time for grub and some Ip-Dips.

We arrive and I start taking pics. I think the Germany Pavilion is gorgeous.

Carrie, Tracy and Bill

HHBG, Dude, Bill and Carrie

Love the teddy bears.

Also love the clock.

We were right next to each other so it was perfectly fine. Better yet we seated next to the buffet bar.

The band that was playing.

The restaurant.

Carrie’s monstrous beer. :rotf:

Con't

 

[scottny]

More band

Then Jodi’s girls went to dance. Sorry so blurry

This is the blurry Carrie doing the chicken dance. :rotf:

 

[scottny]

Buzz and Linnie with their new friend Pinchy. :rotf:

Dude

**Review**

I was a little hesitant about this place but surprisingly I enjoyed it. The food was very good; the pretzel bread was to die for. The salad with the herb dressing was so fantastic I had 2 helpings. I think the only thing I did not like was the pot roast. I would definitely go back again.

We proceeded outside and started making our way.

Now I will stop again.

Up next….

Drinks and Off Kilter

 

[scottny]

Buzz's pics

 

[scottny]

Right before the show I believe is when the wine was spilled onto Buzz’s shirt and he had to go buy an expensive t-shirt. You can see in one pic he changed, but really would not have been Ip-Dip if Buzz did not spill some wine. :rotf:

Now it is time for Illuminations. Not the best spot for it as there were a tree there but who cares we are with friends.

No more words, just pics.

Con't...

 

[scottny]

I did not get one decent globe shot.

With that it was over.

We now stood around and chatted as everyone else was leaving the park.

So everyone started leaving. Soon it was Buzz, Linnie, Tracy, Bill, Amy and myself. I think it was 9:45 and we split up.

I walked out with Tracy and company. I think I used the facilities and Amy had a ciggie.

Then I took this as we were going out

We then went to the bus stop, which had one waiting and we soon on out way to POP.

Once at POP Amy took off and Tracy, Bill and I went into POP Everything.

I think this is when Tracy bought a yellow Mickey head key chain to represent the boards. Good girl. :rotf:

We chatted and then we said our goodbyes.

Ip-Dip review:

This was the best day I have had in a long time. Meeting everyone was fantastic. It was fun from the morning all the way through the evening.

Dinner was great; drinks were good (thank you Steeb and Buzz).

I am so glad I decided to go. I was hesitant with money and another trip so close but I am so glad I did it and just wanted to thank you all so much for a wonderful day.

Up next…

My last day, but I saw some resorts.

 

[b.head2008]

[scottny]

Sorry to be rushing this and getting so many pics on one page but I need to finish by tomorrow because I leave Saturday to go again.

My last day. I have until 2:45 for the DME.

I wake up early and shower. Finish packing and bring everything to the front. I put my bag into the luggage check (I love this service) and then I go check my coat with the luggage check that u can pick up.

I am then off, I arrive at Ak and then I am off to

I start walking up to the entrance. I am impressed already.

What an adorable sign.

This was a great gift shop.

Ok time to head outside.

Then I came across these lovelies.

I could have taken pics all day.

 

[scottny]

Pool bar.

Now these next ones have animals, you have to look for them.

I think that is the baby giraffe drinking water.

Ostrich alert. Make me a burger.

I will say this area smelled like animals. I would not have been happy if I was staying here.

The Mara checkout. Now I went to eat breakfast. I had the adult platter. The eggs were a little runny for me but it was good.

Jiko closed.

Some construction.

I then headed to

Well the buses to other parks.

Where did I go?

Find out soon…..

 

[scottny]

Now I am heading to another resort. Which one will it be? Well I pass this on the way.

I get to DHS and decide to

I took the boat this time.

Yep, I am going to see the Dolphin and Swan.

That was a lovely ride. Very relaxing.

Con't....

 

[scottny]

Swan is first

This point Biff called me and was chatty Cathy. Talk, talk, and talk. I was to involved looking around so it went in one ear and out the other.

I will say this place is really pretty.
