Yep, I love the Mad Hatter! hehe I love the Johnny Depp version, but my fave is really the original one.

Even though I was very tired and wanted to go back to the hotel, my stomach had decided to growl during the parade.

So I decided that I was going to try something since I was hungry.

My friend Brook loves those.... or is obsessed a better word? hehe

Well I did try them and...............











I loved them!

Yes, I even had those at least one other time during the trip.

Thanks for the recommendation Brook. And they are on my to-do list for next trip.

After that, we went back to the hotel. We spent a quiet night as usual reading, watching tv and walking around the hotel.

July 23 2011

Today was going to be a Epcot day.

We started with a lazy morning. I went to the lounge to grab breakfast and sat there a bit. I liked the lounge. And I noticed how some people have no class. And I may have nice manners... and maybe too much? hehe I feel bad leaving my dishes on the table when I'm finish. I feel like I need to bring it somewhere, you know.

We took the monorail over to Epcot, and our first stop was Spaceship earth. We had fun as usual and laughed at our picture. Which I won't show since my mom wouldn't really enjoy that hehe.

We then made our way to Worldshowcase since we had a lunch ADR.

And that is when we had our first glimpse at the Duffy madness. True, we had seen Duffy during our March trip... but it seems he was not as present. But I might be mistaking.

I didn't know they do the castle show so close in time to the parade.

That last picture of your MK update, is it suppose to be Cinderella, or some food pic? Because I'm confused as to what item you tried that was recommended to you?

Thanks for mentioning it. I might have not noticed it.

Hey guys. I've got news.

There are some changes to our July trip.

First of all.... my dad is coming with us. He change his mind. And luckily since the plane has rows of 3 seats, the seat next to us was not taken yet.

Second of all.... we switched resort. We are going back to the Contemporary and my dad decided that he'd only do it if we did Concierge... so that's what we are doing.

Our ADR date is coming soon too: Jan 17.

So I'm getting more and more excited!

 

[PopArtGal]

Happy NEW YEAR!

Hey guys, I can't seem to locate my photopass cd. I did upload a few in my photobucket account, but not all. I also can't seem to locate other photos (needed for personal projects) either. So maybe I'm not due to find them now. So many things to do. So for now, they won't be in this TR. Only the ones I have on photobucket will. And the others will be added IF I ever find it before I'm done here.

A new update is on it's way

 

[PopArtGal]

Guess what...... I found my photopass cd! lol

Your parade pictures are awesome! We have never sat to watch the whole thing!

And for liking Corn Dog Nuggets! I do think "obsessed" would be a good word.

And I'm glad you found your CD!

I think it is great that your dad is coming too!! We stayed at Contemporary Concierge and I loved it!! Are you in a MK view or Bay Lake? We had a Bay Lake view and it was the best of both worlds because you can sit in the lounge and see MK and the view from the room was wonderful.

I know right. Such a bad thing that we have to stay at concierge. But someone has to do it

Hey guys.

Before I updated my TR I wanted to share pics of Timon with you. I dowloaded the "memories" iphone app and had a little bit of fun with Timon who was interested in posing for once lol

 

[PopArtGal]

We started wondering the World Showcase and had fun browsing shops and just enjoying the environment.

We had a ressie at Via Napoli for lunch. If I'm not mistaking, it was at 11am

I went in to check-in and there was a bit of a wait as we were the first seating. The restaurant was not opened yet.

We were sort of the first people there, but the lobby quickly filled up.

We were seated in another room where the ovens are not. It was nice in a way since they were spreading out the families. I've been to restaurant who fill one section at a time. But since we were spread out, it was nice not having to bump elbows with poeple.

Our server was nice and when he noticed I spoke French he thought I was from France. He did know a bit of French.... but I could not understand him...sorry Nicola.

(My mom just remembered his name)

He was very nice but came a bit too often to the table, for our taste.

My mom ordered the cheese pizza, and I ordered the spaghetti with veal meatballs. And wow! The plates are big. And the individual pizza is a medium (for me). I loved my spaghetti. The meatballs were amazing. And I did taste the pizza and it was wonderful. For dessert, I had a cappucino and we both had Tiramisu. Let's just say that since we had the dining plan, I did over indulge in dessert since it was free. I normally would not have eaten that much dessert.

And I take a vow now, that starting next trip, I will take pics of our plates!

All in all....... we are in LOVE with Via Napoli!

It was the first restaurant name that was said when a list was typed up of the restaurants we will be going at during our next trip.

Oh and by the way, now that we are in 2012 I can say: We are going to WDW this year! hehe

After that lunch, we pretty much rolled out of there. We decided to walk off the meal a bit. But we were getting hot and were thinking about going back to Future World. On our way out of the World Showcase, I came across the Mexico restaurant. And I remember how much my friend Nikki loved the margaritas. So I decided to try one.


First of all, I am not a drinker. I drink white wine sometimes, but that's basically it. And after 2 glasses I've had enough.

And boy these babies are STRONG! Don't get me wrong. They are goooooooood. But there is a lot of alcohol in there. My mom even took a sip and she drinks even less than I do. She said she could get drunk from the smell lol

I drank about 1 quarter of it and had to stop. I was tipsy and knew that if I drank more I'd have a huge headache, or worse, a migraine.

But while I was drinking that margarita I took a break and decided to go see Duffy. You can see by the smile I have how much fun I was having.... or was it the alcohol? hehehe

Anywayz. I approached Duffy and he noticed me "villains" t-shirt and got scared.

Which for some reason I thought was hilarious. See I told you I was getting drunk lol

Then I told him I've save him from them. And all was good in the world again.

After that, we wandered into Future World. After some shopping, we went back to the hotel for the rest of the day. I may have gone to see Captain EO again. I wouldn't be surprised if I did since I'm in love with MJ

All in all, it was a good day. Like every Epcot day.

I LOVE the pictures of Timon!!! He is so cute! We really liked Via Napoli too - the portions were big. I also love Duffy - I got a stuffed Duffy for Christmas.
