The Night Ends with a Near Miss and a Bang!
Although we had a disappointing dinner at Beaches & Cream, let’s end this day on a positive note. With a bang, perhaps?
We headed into EPCOT, through the International Gateway.
7:37:
After crossing the bridge into France, we saw a Photopass Photographer so we stopped for a picture
We were just wandering through the World Showcase, checking out the Food & Wine booths for future visits.
8 pm:
We arrived in Germany and there was another photographer there. We had never had our picture taken there, so we stopped for a picture.
We didn’t get dessert while we were at Beaches and Cream, but we decided it was time for a sweet treat.
We looked at the goodies in the counter and chose to split one of these:
We continued on our stroll.
I think we made it all the way to Mexico and rode but I’m not positive.
Seriously, it was just 2 months ago. Sheesh!
We heard from our friend Missy about getting together to watch Illuminations. She and her DH Franklin had met up with my friends Nannette, Janet and ~Ninja for dinner at Biergarten and were just finishing up.
Missy, 8:17- We are going to watch Illuminations from the Chase viewing area in front of Italy. Want to join us?
Me, 8:27- Sure. We are in Norway.
Missy, 8:28- We are just finishing at Biergarten. Want to meet me in Italy?
Me, 8:30- Yes.
Missy, 8:34- So about that. Franklin doesn’t like the viewing area, so he wants to go find ~Ninja and shoot with her from China.
I talked to Mark, and since we were already in Italy and we were so tired from our long, busy travel day that we didn’t want to backtrack.
Me, 8:36- Mark wants to head closer to Yacht Club. We are wiped from travel day. Have fun.
Missy, 8:37- Okay, get some rest!
We found a place to stand by the stairs in Italy and although it was blocked by some poles, we decided to stay there.
Remember that full moon from my pictures on the plane that morning? Here it is again!
Either I didn’t take many pictures from the beginning of the show, or I deleted them. I only have about 8 or 9 in the album from the show.
Here are the few that I feel are worth posting
We made our way back to the International Gateway and then the Yacht Club in about 15 minutes.
Man, that is what we really love about staying at the EPCOT resorts.
I’m not exactly sure what time we arrived back, but it was before 10 pm, so we stopped in at the lounge and got a few more small desserts to take back to our room.
This was the only time during our trip that we made it to the lounge for evening dessert and cordial time.
This may be a repeat posting for some of you, but here are the offerings:
Key Lime Cake
Panna Cotta with Raspberry Puree
Brownie
