But, at the whole lemon/vanilla mixup!!!

I know it was funny.

I sense an Epcot meltdown on the way.

Poor Aunt Pat, I'd think yellow was lemon too. LOL!!!!!

Looking at them I would think that too.

I've never had their sushi to know if it's fishy, but good for you for trying it!

I was proud of myself and Joey.

Looked like a nice, relaxed visit around the world...that's just what I'm hoping for on my next trip!

Another great installment!

Thank you. It was a very relaxing day.

Yes the guys were more than willing to try that pose.

I have to agree with you. My son was stationed in Kygrystan. On the way there and on the way back he drank their beer at all of the layovers. We keep teasing him that he drank his way around the world. Now I am going to do the same thing.

Fountain photo too funny!!!

The next stop was actually a DVC counter. I scheduled an appointment for David and I to do a DVC tour the next day.

Good job. Get him in there while he's having fun and full of the Disney magic! I'll be interested to hear what you thought of the tour. I'm thinking about doing it when I go in October...

Instead of gelato I chose another adult beverage.

Always a good choice!

"I’m sorry! I’m bad at facial cues!" -Chicken Little

As we walked from World Showcase to Future World I tried my best to talk Daisy into going on Test Track with us. She remained unconvinced and decided no to join us. So what did we do? We loaded her down with all the stuff we didn't want to take on the ride with us, Aunt Pat's bag, the shopping bags, and the camera. Then the rest of us got in the Fast Pass line for our first ride on Test Track.

My feelings on Test Track are that if it was a walk on I would go. If I was with someone else who really wanted to ride it I would Fast Pass it. If it was up to just me I wouldn't waste a Fast Pass opportunity on it, I would rather get another Soarin Fast Pass. After the ride we met up with Daisy in the dump shop, she had gotten to hot outside and moved in there.

Then we went over to Mouse Gear for some shopping. It's a big store and we were in there a long time. At some point David took Adam to the bathroom, but the rest of us just stayed in the nicely air conditioned store. Daisy found a very cute Mickey Head bag and wallet. They are aqua blue with a yellow patterned Mickey head. Aunt Pat bought some Mickey pjs. The boys looked at toys and plushies but didn't get anything. I fell in love with a super soft Dumbo plushie but I didn't get it either.

My feet were really starting to throb from standing on them so long inside the store and David was still shopping, so I went outside to find some place to sit down. Eventually we all met up outside after David purchased some t-shirts.

We all then went on Spaceship Earth, which was once again a walk on. The kids insisted we ride with the same people as the first time, so it was a complete repeat performance. With the exception that this time it was Daisy and Adam who got their picture banned and not David and Joey.

Prior to the trip I had read about Club Cool and the evil flavored Beverly. I had briefly considered tricking my family into tasting it to get one of those great reaction shots. It would have been easy, they all would have believed me if I said I had read that one of the flavors was really great and we all needed to try it.

However by the time we entered the little building I had decided that was to mean and I didn't want to trick them. So we all filled up a little cup with some soda to try. Now imagine my shock when I turned around and saw David filling up his cup with Beverly. I quickly set my cup down and turned on my camera.

I'm still amazed that upon reading the description of Beverly, where the word bitter is used, he still chose to taste it. Of course after he tried it and stated how disgusting it was both Daisy and Joey had to try it. Silly children! (Sorry the pictures are blurry!)

It was getting closer to our Garden Grill ADR time so we walked over to The Land to use our Fast Passes for Soarin. Daisy was given one of the red timing badges.

I think the queue for Soarin is done much better at California Adventure, it seems more immersive than the Epcot version. We ended up seated in B3, I like being in the center of the screen, though I prefer B2 rather than the bottom level. I do think it would be nice if Epcot had their own film rather than the same one as California Adventure, though the kids and I enjoyed waving to Disneyland at the end. Soarin is always enjoyable and relaxing and it was a nice way to wind down before our dinner at Garden Grill.

Test Track is just not enough of a thrill ride for my thrill seeking boys, and apparently it's to much of a thrill ride for my daughter. What's funny is my boys would ride Indy Speedway over and over again rather than Test Track.

I love that even though you decided not to fool your family they tried the Beverly anyway....lol That's great!
Sounds like you had a lot of fun shopping, I wish your feet hadn't been hurting so badly!
Looking forward to your dinner review!

I can tell I wasn't feeling well by the lack of pictures I had for this chapter! I still laugh about the fact that I didn't trick him and David still tried Beverly.

 

[Lovemy3babes]

Ok, so how bad is this famous Beverly drink? I've heard so many funny things about this crazy drink! LOL! I love your husband's picture! Heehee.
