From Tink to Buckbeak - A flight through Magic!

Tanzunited99:

Thank you! My ears are still hanging on my wall . Both pirates were great - I think Jack was better simply because he's well...Jack Sparrow. And definitely give the carpets a chance...I'm going to have to try Dumbo next time just to determine the difference!!

Tink2Day:

Why thank you!! No, I wouldn't say we are into fashion at all - we just wear what we like and what is comfy! And we both love to smile...can you tell yet?

We made it to Epcot in what seemed like no time. I had memorized the maps of the parks weeks before this and it was time to test my knowledge. We had less than ten minutes to make our reservation...even though I knew we had a bit more than that we were actually very hungry so we found our country very quickly. Welcome to Akershus!

We were quickly ushered in and were extremely pleased to meet Belle - at the time my favorite princess!! (Rapunzel is now my #1!! )

She was perfect! We were kind of leaning away from her so we wouldn't step on her dress or anything. She didn't let that bother her in the least! "Come closer! I squish!" Instant love from us .

Here are our waiting to eat pics inside Akershus.

And our food...I forgot what I ate most places but the food was...different. It was good but the character interactions definitely made this place so great.

And here comes the first princess!!

She was sweet and we spoke about carriage rides and her best friend, Cinderella.

After Aurora came...Snow White!

I unfortunately can't remember much of what we talked about...but I do remember liking her a lot. Snow White was never a big favorite of mine so I was pleasantly surprised.

Ariel made a point of saying her favorite color was the color of my pen I had her sign with (Turquoise) and mentioned the fact that my earrings were pearls and how she loved them .

We unfortunately found Jasmine to be a bit standoffish. She ended up being the least favorite of the meal which was disappointing because she is high on my list of favorites. Jasmine is a bit of an opinionated princess though...

After Akershus we were fueled and ready to explore the world! So we set off for some sightseeing!! Amy and I LOVE How to Train Your Dragon...so the vikings in Norway were fun...

In China we met Mulan!

And one of my favorite PP pics!!

I just love how Amy can look classy even while being blinded.


In Germany we came across the Wishing Well with a camera happy PP. Here is a fave of ours!

A country I was dying to see...ITALY!! I went about 6 years ago with my high school Latin Class...I adore the country, the history, everything. So, here comes the parade of my Italy pics!!!

I wanted this mask so bad, but I was a good girl and settled for the picture...I still wish I would have gotten it. If there is one like it next time I go...ITS MINE!!!!

A random Tink pic that I love

A little of Morocco...by this time we were slowing down...

And France...

We stopped and sat in England for awhile and just watched people and hoped the storm brewing wouldn't cancel Illuminations. A good hour before the show we headed to find a good spot on the bridge by France...we had a great viewing location!!

Here's Amy taking a nice shot...and the pic she took.

Another PP

and Illuminations!!

We scheduled dinner during EMH. It was VERY good and, of course, FUN!

That was our onion volcano...we were so entertained that pics are few...sorry bout that.

and we barely got to Test Track in time to ride...but we did. We were nervous but the couple in front of us assured us we would love it and as you can tell...she REALLY loves the ride. In the end, it was fantastic and we wish we could've had another round.

Great update! I LOVED Akershus for breakfast more than dinner. I've never been for lunch though. The princesses are the same at breakfast except Cinderella was there and Jasmine wasn't. Oddly enough the standoffish one. Glad Ariel was good though, she's my fave.

I LOVE your Italy pics!

Illuminations is my favorite fireworks display

Teppan Edo looks great, can't wait to try it in July!!

Can't wait for more!

We LOVED Illuminations!!! And Teppan Edo was very very good! I love edamame and I was thrilled they had it. I will have to try Akershus for breakfast and see how that goes, lol.

That's too bad that Akersush wasn't quite what you were expecting, I've never tried it for lunch but we loved the food at dinner.

Ariel is my fave, and I love how she commented on your pen and earrings.

And that's awesome you guys had such a great spot for illuminations, it's definitely my fave firework show!

I'm loving your TR and looking forward to more

Love the Akershus review as we are eating there for dinner, so was nice to hear your thoughts on the place!

I really like Jasmine so am surprised that she was standoffish. Will wait and see if she is the same when we see her.

Your PP pics are great and I love the one that Amy took of the fountain. It looks like a great place to relax.

Yay on riding TT!

 

[amazingact21]

I'm loving you TR! You two look like you guys are having a BLAST!!!

I love reading about trips where good friends are involved. It seems like when you're with friends, you become a kid again. And what better place is there for that sort of atmopshere?

I can't believe how much you accomplished on your first day! And all the characters you met!!!
Thanks for the Teppan Edo pics, I'm eating there in a few weeks, and seeing them made me really excited!

mermaid764: I would be willing to try it again just because of the environment and because its always fun to try new things. And I will try to update again in the next couple of days!

TanzUnited99:

France was very nice..sitting by the fountains was extremely relaxing and they are beautiful. I like Jasmine too, but I'm hoping she's in a better mood next time we meet!!

amazingact21:

First of all I LOVE your pic!!! Lion King is tied in #1 movie with Tangled

Teppan Edo is wonderful!! I know you will love it! And we did become kids again...It was a priceless trip!

Subbing I just began reading and i'm already loving it! I liked the part with your friend and ariel and prince eric! Isn't it amazing what disney does to us? I also loved how you were in the pirate tutorial! I didn't know they let adults be in it 2. I love finding stuff like that out on here. I also liked when you two were dressed up in DTD. I always want to go there and somehow we end up spending little to no time there I likes all the pictures wit the disney character statues. Where was the winnie the pooh one taken?
