Beware of Poachers and Look at the Little Gorillas! 3 trips in 1. NEW TR started 8/31/19**

[Cloe Colton]

What a great morning in EPCOT! That is so funny about your MB not working, especially when you were noticing how many were happening before you! haha

What a fun character palooza to happen upon! I feel like when I read most peoples its more classic characters, those were some great finds! Flynn does look super tall though haha

The cronut looks delish, almost looks like a King Cake to me! And your onion tart looked yum too!

 

[disneyAndi14]

Nice character pics! That onion tart looks good!

Thanks, I recommend the tart!

 

[disneyAndi14]

Oops! Could you have gone to GS to get it activated? Good thing there were no fastpasses attached to it!

Yes, the CM at the front could have done with the IPad but I said no biggie, I will just put a different on later!

That looks good I think I just read they were losing that booth?

The cronut was really good. I think the booth is off the beat and path so maybe that is why it is going away

Cute pics, but BOY! That Flynn must be 6.5 feet!

He was so tall! Of course Andi and I are only around 5 feet haha!

 

[disneyAndi14]

I am sure! I think I forgot to tell you when were in AK on our last trip a little boy was peeing in the bushes as we were exiting the Lion King show. Had a hard time trying to explain what he was doing to Casey.

Oh gross! It is hard to explain to kids why some are such idiots!!

Yep I'm in the same boat. Haven't had my hair done since before our February trip and it is in desperate need. We're out of town this weekend so hoping to slap some polish on my toes sometime before I leave so at least my feet look presentable.

Ha! I got one toenail painted and had to do something else, tonight I will finish!!

I'm pretty much a starbucks novice but recently tried this and it was soo good. We have a Starbucks at work that I

I really enjoy the refreshers and especially at WDW where it is actually hot!

Oh this is so up my alley. Can't wait to try it in 6 days!!!!!!!

This was really good, I may get another!!

 

[disneyAndi14]

I would say 90% of our time together on trips is fun and we get along great, the other 10% I do want to strangle her
That's a pretty successful ratio by all standards
So true

Yep! That's the one

Yay! I’m so excited for the party and so happy you will be there!!

 

[disneyAndi14]

Perfect seats!

That looks yummy and huge! Did you manage to finish it all?

No kidding that he is tall! Andi looks so tiny beside him! I love those unexpected character meets.

Oh. I meant to try this in May but I was too full from my other snacks! It looks so good.

Still a sweet picture!

The B concourse and row 1 is the best
The donut was big, we managed to eat all of it, yum!
He was so tall, my head almost fit under his armpit, haha!
The tart was so good.

 

[disneyAndi14]

Hmmm...so pretty much like every parent child relationship


I never did try a cronut. They seem very good and the special version you had looks great.


Wow he is tall! He almost looks like he should be doing something else, he seems a little Goofy..ahem *cough cough*

Yes definitely, I hate when they know everything and way more then we do, haha!
This cronut was so delicious and fresh!
For sure he could be friends with Goofy!

 

[disneyAndi14]

Uh oh, I got really far behind

Sebastian's looks yummy. I bet that becomes a more popular destination once the gondolas are running.

Good thing you had a backup card when your MB didn't work . We were definitely blue Mickey peopke several times on our trip. I think the girls weren't totally playing their finger, moving it too soon, etc.

No worries, I am clipping along because I have another trip in 2 days!!
Sebastian’s was worth the trip over there, yum!
First blue Mickey for me in awhile!!

 

[disneyAndi14]

My goodness that blueberry cronut looks and sounds gorgeous......now I`m craving a donut!!!

Lovely pictures again, wow that guy is tall!!!! I have no clue who he is though......lol......but I`m laughing at your oniony breath......breath.....I`ll bet you didn't have....but you always think the worst after eating something like that...…

Your trip is almost over again......but you have one just around the corner now too!!!!

The donut was really good, very tasty, the custard was so delicious in the center!
Thank you, I love getting pictures in Epcot. Flynn was really tall!
I always worry about bad breath, haha! I have mints galore in my bag.

 

[disneyAndi14]

I will be busy molding the young minds in Kindergarten at that time, but YES I will be flying out after school!!

Tomorrow is my last day of work before the trip, yay!!

 

[disneyAndi14]

That cronut looks yummy!!

How nice stumbling upon Flynn & Ariel. Wow he really is tall!!

This was very good, I always worry about donuts being stale like and this was not!
It was nice to meet the two characters, especially because we didn’t meet to many this trip!

I really was nice and not super crowded, everyone was at MK, haha!

We have met other characters in this area in the past, good spot to always check out!

Our choices this year at F&G we’re very good overall, one miss otherwise all hits!

 

[disneyAndi14]

More Epcot fun!

After meeting Belle, we wandered on and stopped for photos in Morocco. Andi had been to the south of Spain in 2017 and some of the areas reminded Andi of where she visited. I got some pictures of her with the beautiful fountain and tiles!



We made our way to Italy! I wanted to try the fried green tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, and balsamic reduction, aka “Pomodori Verdi e Mozzarella” Andi was game to try this!
This tasted so good, we could tell it was just made. My only complaint was the coating was a tad greasy.

Mexico was up next for us, we didn’t try any food booths, but we enjoyed the Pavilion. We went for a wonderful boat ride in Mexico. Andi took some cool photos of the Pavilion. We did see a little of the Coco story being performed by the Mariachi Band, Cool!


I wanted to try the Tandoori Honey Chicken flatbread at the Honey Bistro. This was my only letdown of the food samples. The flatbread was mushy and this was off putting. The flavor also was a little flat for me. I did see The Tim Tracker’s review and he said the same as me

We had one more stop at The Arbor Garden Terrace. It was dessert time.
The Mixed Berry Buttermilk cake was on the menu for us. This was very tasty except the apple cider sorbet was a little icy, it had ice chips in it. I wasn’t sure if it thawed and then froze again or if it was over churned. We did enjoy it, not sure I would get again but overall good!

We looked in the small pop up shop with F&G merchandise in the building. I didn’t find anything I had to have.

We decided to head out and spend some time at the resort before spending our last evening at DHS.
Few more pictures


This is the day Andi got sunburned in the hammock not the day before. You will see how red she is in the pictures at DHS.

I also forgot to mention how good the little mini mango pie was from Y&Y QS, it was delicious and I had it with my coffee this morning. I didn’t get a picture.

I hope to finish this up by tomorrow night!!

I leave early Wednesday morning for more Magic!!

 

[disneyAndi14]

This afternoon was absolutely lovely, I leisurely strolled around our resort and also took a little rest. Andi hung out in the hammock the whole time and did get a sunburn!

It was time to head out to DHS. We did take the bus and it was a short ride. The new bus stops were open! I still think the stops are far from the entrance. Andi had a FP for Rockin Rollercoaster. She went in line and checked out the new area for Lightning McQueen attraction. The signs were up, it wasn’t open yet. I went and found a bench to sit on and wait for Andi. It took awhile even with FP so she did not want to go again with my FP.

We decided to do our ToT FP right at the start of it. The FP line was not bad at all. We quickly got in the boiler room and noticed one side must have went down. We had to wait a few extra minutes and then we were on our spooky elevator. The lady next to me was riding for her first time. She was nervous but did like it! I was actually looking right at the camera, that’s unusual haha!

We headed towards the old Great Movie ride, sigh**. RIP top favorite of both of ours. Andi wanted some pictures with her GMR t-shirt on.

Did I mention, maybe a 100 times, how much we also love The Muppets! We do! It was time to see The Muppets 3D. I love it!

We skipped Star Tours this trip. The line was crazy long and we didn’t feel the need to wait since we have been many times. We did sit and people watch for awhile by the Baseline Tap House.

It was getting close to our SDD FP, we headed into TSL and had a fun ride on Slinky. The wait was minimal with our FP. TSL was very busy and we didn’t have any other plans in TSL after our ride. We headed out and checked out the Incredible area.

We had our picture taken at the Incredible backdrop. I noticed after this, Edna Mode had no wait so in we went to meet her. It was marvelous darling! I sent Jack the picture and he write back “creepy” She is a little creepy! Our pictures turned out decent. See how red Andi’s face is this evening I have no idea why Andi had her sweatshirt on now it was hot out


It was a little early for our dinner but we went to check in at Mama Melrose. We did get in a little bit ahead of schedule. We had a very nice waitress. She told Andi most everything on the menu can be made for a vegetarian. I went with the Chicken Parm and Andi got the Penne Pasta with the homemade 4 cheese sauce, minus the wood grilled chicken. Our food was really good. I have enjoyed our visits here.



We were boring and did not have dessert and we did not stay for the night show, in fact we did not see one evening firework or light show this trip. Andi was fine with this and I knew I would be enjoying fireworks and dessert parties in May.

We took a Lyft back to the resort after I picked up a carrot cake cookie for my morning coffee. We spent a little time packing and getting organized before our last day

Stay tuned for our last morning and lunch at MK, the dreaded departure day............

I have never stepped foot in this pavilion. It looks so pretty.

Beautiful, my favorite backdrop

You're a handle gripper like me

I have been on this ride so many times and do not have even ONE of these pictures

Did you end up with any of the pavilion passport photos? I got a couple of these and loved them!

We did see a little of the Coco story being performed by the Mariachi Band, Cool!

This is an awesome show! I watched it my last day and loved it. Of course, I cried during "Remember Me." So well done!

We had one more stop at The Arbor Garden Terrace. It was dessert time.

Looks good!

I leave early Wednesday morning for more Magic!!

Lucky you! Hope you have an incredible time!

Cute pic! She has her sweatshirt on because teenagers cannot be told anything, lol!

My favourite cookie!

 

[missangelalexis]

Great pics from Epcot! Sounds like a really nice afternoon there!

Also sounds like a great time at DHS and a nice dinner!

 

[missjackiemcg]

Looks like lots of fun! Poor Andi getting sunburned. This happens to me every trip no matter how much sunblock I put on! Though it is nice to go home with a little color!

SEE YOU Thursday!!!!!!!!

 

[MinnieWebster]

I wanted to try the fried green tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, and balsamic reduction, aka “Pomodori Verdi e Mozzarella”

I would love to try this!! Sounds delicious!

I went with the Chicken Parm and Andi got the Penne Pasta with the homemade 4 cheese sauce, minus the wood grilled chicken.

I must be hungry. Your food choices sound and look amazing!

Have a great trip tomorrow!!

 

[Gina Starr]

I got a bit behind and no idea where I last quoted! I get sunburnt super easily so I feel Andi’s pain! And I did the same thing last trip- not a single night time show. I would like to try and hit them all up next time though.
