We stopped to take this picture
I didnt take any pictures in the Seas either! Sorry! I was really just enjoying seeing things through DDs eyes!!!
Then it was off to The Land! We could have gotten FP for Soarin but from what I remember the return time wasnt until around 7 pm and DD and decided it would be fair for us to have FP for Soarin and not Daddy and DS. So we headed for Living with the land!
DD and I both thoroughly enjoy this ride and I did take pictures this time
Much to DDs delight she spied this in the lab
Then we got a call from DH that the game was over, much to his dismay because the Giants lost, and they were headed toward Epcot!! DD and I decided to head for a treat toward the front of the park!!!
A picture along the way...
We got some super yummy ice cream at the Foutainview Café!! We sat at table outside and enjoyed our ice cream and the beautiful fountain, along with each others company!!!
Then we decided to head to Mousegear in search of something specific, although I cant think of what it was! I think it might have been a picture frame for my sister. We bought one or 2 small things and made our way outside again just as DH called to say they were in the park! So we met them at the fountain and headed toward WS!!!
I know a lot of people are happy to know that the fountain is dancing to the music again!
First we headed for Mexico and Gran Fiesta! I know its a tad kitschy and cheesy but I love it! I dont remember ever riding it before the Donald enhancements were made a few years back so I dont really know what it was like before.
We browsed the inside of the pavilion and enjoyed the smell of the yummy Mexican food and then went back outside! I would have loved a margarita but the line was insanely long!!
In fact WS was packed! I mean elbow to elbow with drunk, sweaty, smelly people! YUCK!
WS that night was a lesson in why not to go to WS on a weekend night, even a Sunday, during F&W! I learned a very valuable lesson my friends! Dont repeat my mistake!
I did manage to take this picture, which I love, somewhere along the way
Then it was off to Norway for Maelstrom! We waited a few minutes, 10 tops, on line. DD,DS2 and me had never ridden it before! DH and DS7 had gone in January! It was a nice first for us!
Then it was off to China! I had wanted to see the Movie but the next showing was a while from the current time so we just explored the pavilion a little and looked in the shop. I actually saw a doll that brought back a lot of memories!! My grandfather was quite a world traveler when I was a kid and would go away to a new exotic local every year. He always brought my sisters and I wonderful treasures. Including a doll from each place. Thats one thing I wish I had saved from my childhood, all the beautiful dolls!! They had one in the shop that looked just like the one he had brought us from his trip to China! I may have to go back and buy it next month!
Pavilion pics...
At this point it was starting to get dark and the moon had come out! There was a beautiful full moon over the bridge by China!
We headed toward Germany but couldnt really get near anything so we kept walking toward Italy. DD had wanted to stop in the shop and see if we could find Italian Mickey for her best friend who comes from a very Italian family! It was a very cute! She bought it with her own $ and we were on our way again!
Moving toward the American Adventure we decided to stop and get something to eat! We went to the CS in the pavilion. Big, huge mistake!!!
Everyone picked out what they wanted and I waited on line. It wasnt a long line but I waited forever!! I swear I must have waited on line with 2 people in front of me for 25 minutes! It was crazy! Part of the problem was that there was a lady on line 2 people in front of me that apparently had never ordered at any kind of counter service restaurant before! She was having such a hard time with the order! She made the poor CM who was taking the order repeat it back to her at least 3 times! UGH!
I finally ordered and got our food and then returned to the table! The kiddos all got chicken nuggets and fries, which they enjoyed, Im not sure what DH got and I got a chicken caesar salad wrap.
My wrap left a lot to be desired for to say the least! It was just gross! It tasted old, like it had been in the refrigerator for too long, ick!!!! The wrap itself tasted like and had the texture of thick paper! GROSS!! After my sandwich at Artist Palette the day before Im starting to lose faith in WDW sandwiches! I guess I have to get to CHH!!!
After we were finished with our dinner we headed for the gift shop to pick up a few things and then headed out of the American Adventure!
We had heard music start to play while eating dinner and I figured it was the Food and Wine concert series. We glanced over while we were leaving the pavilion and saw Taylor Hicks! If anyone is wondering what happened to Taylor Hicks after he won American Idol, hes playing the Eat to the Beat Concert Series at Epcot!
I wonder what Simon would say about that
another picture along the way...
We tried very hard to see WS but there were just soooooo many people there! The fact that most of them were a little drunk didnt make it any better! So we decided to head try to head out!
I really wanted a Gray Goose Slush and, honestly at that point I could have used it, but the line there was insanely long too! Booooooo!
We stopped for a few pictures along the way
no one was home to answer the call
This kiosk was serving a few wines from our area!
Then the picture Im most proud of from this trip
We headed back to SSR and started packing up for our transfer to WL the next day!
