A Flower, A Bird, A Teddy Bear & the Disney First Timers!* LAST UPDATE* 07/25/08

wow, look at all that fog at Epcot.

The photopass pictures are great. I'm surprised they didn't super impose Tink though

And you've been skipping EPCOT all this time?????? Glad to hear you won't be from now on. It's my second favorite park

Yes can you believe it? We went once in 2003 for half a day. It was hot, Bird was miserable, and we never went back. Never again!

I'm so glad I persuaded you to go to Epcot!

Soarin... ! I so could do that all day long!

Sunshine Seasons... I think that is where you ate breakfast.

Yes you so did!! Most excellent!

Me too. It's just dreamy

Thanks. I will remember it so we don't do it again.

After breakfast, we decided to do Living With The Land. Sugar really liked this one. She loves plants and flowers and things. It was pretty interesting.

We saw some buffalo…

and some chickens…

Ever had a Cassava?

Fishies!

Awww look at the little babies…

Be nice or Mickey will make you eat…

Big ole punkin..

My favorites…

We headed over to The Seas next. The kids had fun playing around by the gulls, but of course I didn’t get a picture of that.

Hey what are those fish doin ?

The Castle!!!!

We hopped in a Clam shell and away we go!

Living with the Land is such a good old stand by...never get tired of that ride.

I'm glad you rode Soarin...I've said this somewhere, but the music in that ride is fantastic....

Season's is the name of the restaurant in the Land. It has a much better selection of food for lunch/dinner.

Great pix in front of SSE.

Those fish on the wall at Nemo are just plain cool!
How long did you have that song stuck in your head afterward?

Hmm... I wonder if you went to turtle talk next? That would be most excellent dude.

Loved the picture of the fog at the epcot entrance -- eery!

And thanks for showing me the picture of the Brussel sprouts -- really! I don't think I've seen them before and believe it or not, my DD2 loves them! We call them "green balls" and she always takes 2nds or 3rds when we make them. So this year, we decided to try growing them from seeds in our yard -- something to get DD engaged in gardening/farming, etc.

I've yet to ride in the front seat for Soarin'...heard that is the ult...so far I made 2nd twice and 3rd row...boo!

Livin with Land boat ride is just nice -- esp when you're waiting for your Soarin' fastpass!

The salmon lunch meal at Seasons is pretty decent...comes with rice and veggie I believe. It's a nice change from burgers and pizza!

 

[Tat2ddisneymom]

at the fog! I hope it cleared up for you!

I can't believe you never did Soarin before!!! That's the best ride in Epcot!

So you didn't like your breakfasts?

I love the pictures of the Mickey head pumpkins. So cute. And the fish on the wall!! I completely forgot about that!

Did you do Turtle Talk next? hmmm....

It was a special treat for my Mom. She loves to garden.

Too funny about DD liking Brussel Sprouts. It would really be cool to grow them!

I guess I shouldn't tell you that we got the first row Sorry. Hope you get it next time.

Yep it did!

Now I know!

They were ok. Just kinda blah.

You know it!

Up next we went to Talking Turtle with Crush…

We waited next to Mr. Ray’s Lagoon.

Here are my two little ones waiting for Crush…

This was a really cute show. Crush was favorite of ours when Nemo first came out. Dude ! It totally rocks !

On to the ….

This line was 8922516. 3 mile long (nod to Love ). But I figured if we met the Mouse here, we could pass the Judge’s tent at Magic Kingdom.

While in line, Bird found a hidden Mickey…

and I found one of my own…

First we met the Mouse himself…

I really want to give Minnie a whole page to herself. She was fantastic with the kids and then when Sugar walked up she just gave her a HUGE hug and I swear tears came to my eyes. She was GREAT !!

Pluto

Goofy

and Chip & Dale…

 

[Tat2ddisneymom]

Aww, Turtle Talk, how fun! Did the kids get to ask any questions? Did they sit on the floor the whole time?

Good thing Minnie was so nice to you after having to wait in that long line. I wouldn't want to have to go postal on Minnie.

 

[lovebuzzandwoody]

And BAM! another update!

Great character pics! We didn't go in there because the line was so long!

I cannot take credit for Tat's comedic genius... she is the one with the big long numbers ~ when I do it I am shamelessly copying her! I love how you added the .3 though! Nice one!

No they didn't get picked, but they did sit on the carpet the whole time and they really enjoyed it.

And I can't say it enough ! Minnie rocked !!!

BAM! I feel like Emeril.

The line really was looooooooooooooooong!

Sorry my bad. Gotta get my sources straight. Tat you da woman!

Better watch out or she will hit you over the head with her Lab.

OMG, I was wondering how long it would take to start spilling over to here!!

Killing me!

 

[Trentmom]

We actually liked Expedition Everest ! It was just such a long day and we had done so much. A little over stimulated, exhausted, etc. Next time we do it first!!



Yes she was very proud!



Thanks ! (insert proud smilie her)



I'm trying to get this sucker cranked out before I forget stuff !







The part with Hopper is quite scary for little ones. Is your DS brave? Maybe let him sit in your lap and prep him ahead of time.



Well I guess maybe the pic didn't come out or something like that. They say that on the Buzz Light year ride. That Zurg "zapped" your picture. We looked for hers and it wasn't there I think.

he doesn't scare too easily...so will have to ponder it...just don't want it to scare him and then have him not want to get on any other rides

 

[Trentmom]

Wow..3 updates!!!

Ya da Bomb


Purple and Pink is very cool together..she looks great

WOW..it was foggy..but tht photopass pic is showing some blue skies, so I am glad it ended up being nice for you all

That pic was great by the way!!

Soarin Rocks..I can;t wait to get ds on there this year. DS loved Living with the land


How cool those fishes made a castle on a wall..never noticed that before


Love all the pics in Character Connection..those backgrounds are awesome

if ds still wants nothing to do with characters this trip, going to take my mom and get our pics taken instead


P.S....you all are too much and you know who you are

 

[jordanyosh]

Those pix with Minnie are great!!! You're right Minnie was great to Sugar.

 

[OrangeBlossom15]

We were a little thirsty after all those characters, so we headed over to Club Cool !

Bwah ha ha ha !!!!!

Yes I am really a ten year old boy because this was the best part of the day for me. Come on guys, let’s go try all the different sodas. I got them soooo good. I had them drinking their fill.

Look at that sweet face saying “Here Mom, try mine! It’s good !”

Then I hit them hard. Hey, Come try this one !

The Beverly !!!! Bwah ha ha !
I swear I was laughing so hard---people were looking at me like I was having some kind of attack or something. I had to walk outside and sit down---it was that bad. This was the best !!!

Here is Teddy Bear pouting because he didn’t want to leave.

Then on to Innoventions…
