Chapter 5- "This Is Your Caballeros..."
July 14th, 2012
After we met Duffy, we continued on to World Showcase.
Derpin' along...
Hola Mexico!
Do you people have any idea how good that pavilion smells!? Just go inside and take a whiff. It smells like Disney water and delicious Mexican NOMS. It just doesn't get much better than that.
We just HAD to visit Allie's favorite Disney characters on her favorite ride: The Gran Fiesta Tour!
Happy girl.
The Caballeros were calling! Allie and I ended up having an entire boat to ourselves. It would have been tré romantic under any other circumstances.
As we approached the pyramid and the restaurant part of the ride, some little kid was sticking his tongue out at me, so I stuck mine out right back.
Take THAT, obnoxious five-year-old.
He totally recoiled and didn't know what to make of it. SUCCESS.
We sang and danced along and totally did not keep our manos, brazos, piez y piernas inside the boat. Ah well.
RULEBREAKAZZZ.
We journeyed to Norway next, and you know what that means...
MAELSTROM TIME.
Ohhh Maelstrom, how I love thee.
I don't think Allie had even been on the Maelstrom before, so she was very intrigued by my excitement. I quoted the entire thing and was super excited the WHOLE time, and she was just like, "...This is your Caballeros."
SO TRUE.
We did a nice duck and cover and ran away from the (not really) inspirational movie and headed outside.
And of course, no trip back over the falls is complete without the finishing touch that is SCHOOL BREAD.
I was excited.
Allie and I got a School Bread to share with our lunch.
P.S. Why are Norwegian people so attractive???
I need to move to the Scandinavian area.
Oh wait. It's too cold.
NEVERMIND.
Anyway, SPEAKING OF LUNCH, we decided that it was about time for that to take place, so back to Future World we went!
Still jamming to the song of her people:
We knew exactly where we wanted to have lunch. Sunshine Seasons, of COURSE!
I ordered the Turkey Mozzerella Panini for my meal:
Ohhh man this was good. Everything about it was really fresh, and it just hit the spot. And that potato salad it came with was much lighter than I expected. I loved it!
Allie ordered the Sweet and Sour Chicken with lo mein noodles. YUM. The chicken was soo nice and flavorful and the lo mein was pretty good too! The noodles were different- more like angel hair pasta than lo mein- and Al was a tad disappointed, but they had a nice flavor and the awesomeness of the chicken definitely made up for it.
And of course, we shared our school bread for dessert:
Ahhh.
Who knew a pastry could make one feel so complete? This stuff is perfection. Al loves it too, so we had no problem gobbling it up. YUM.
We sat at Seasons and caught up on our trip journals for a little bit, and then went to pin trade with the CM's by Soarin'. At that point, the tour group to guest ratio was astronomically NOT in our favor, so we ducked out of there and headed to Innoventions West for a while. Once we were in there, we decided to do this video game thing where YOU are the character in your own game. It was actually really fun!
You stand in these half tanning booth things like so:
And you jump, etc. when it tells you to. We were cracking up the whole time.
FART. SHOES.
Next, you go over to the video game screen/area and play the game that you're in. So cool!
Next, we decided it would be extremely frumpy to participate in the GREAT PIGGY BANK ADVENTURE.
That's right people. This is an actual thing.
If you haven't done it yet, what are you actually doing with your life?
It is clearly missing something.
That something is this guy:
Seriously. Do it. It's HILARIOUS.
So basically you pick an objective and then you carry the piggy bank all over the area and it teaches you about personal finances and spending wisely and such. Perfect for a couple of naive imminent college students. It even talked about inflation! Guess kids can never learn too early...
Here we are with our Piggy:
He was a gem.
Turns out that we did really well and we totally hooked up our space (Y'all remember that That's So Raven episode? If not, GO WATCH IT.) and got a sweet new room. HOORAY!
Next up, we finally got to use our Soarin' Fastpasses! We walked back to The Land, dodging the tour groups, and got in line!
After our wonderful glide over California, we decided to head back to Boardwalk for some pool time!
We stopped in Canada to pin trade at the outdoor kiosks, and the Canada CM's loved our nails! They were ICP's and they were so nice! We loved them.
On the way out through International Gateway, we saw this chalk drawing in the UK:
WOO! Summer Olympics! The Brits really had their pride on because London was hosting! YEAH BRITS!
We got back to the Boardwalk and changed into our bathing suits. I took a picture of Allie's parents' room and their part of the bathroom because they weren't there.
We headed down to the pool and swam around for a little bit. We saw the lifeguards walking around and it looked like they were blessing the pool every few feet or something? Does anyone know what this is? I think it's just them checking the cleanliness every few feet.
We got out after a bit and sat oh-so-classily at the pool bar, where we got smoothies. While we were sitting there, there must have been a little accident or something because they closed the pool. Awk. A stray duck still got to swim though.
We went us to the room after a while and changed for dinner. I sat on the balcony and talked to Jess on the phone before she went to work.
Pretty soon we walked downstair, out to the car, and drove over to Fort Wilderness! We parked and waited for a Disney bus to take us over to Pioneer Hall. WOO!
