Day 6 plans sound good to me. I'm all for an afternoon swim (we'll do this twice in our four days). We've never eaten at Kouzzina...it's on our list of places we want to try.

I wish I could wear a bathing suit so that I can swim with them. Unfortunately, I look well....horrible.

I love Kouzzina but I think it's partly because I grew up eating Greek food and this is the closest I've come to what is "real" Greek food.

I doubt you look terrible in a bathing suit, but you could always wear shorts and a tank top...I've seen lots of people do it. You might want to answer this thread: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2527500

I am looking forward to Day 7 in a HUGE way.

Today is Epcot WS day for us. We have an ADR here for breakfast:

We have an early ADR for breakfast so after breakfast, we'll head back to FW until WS opens. I plan to go here...yep, the store that smells like poop, right Liesa?

We'll probably spend a bit catching up on what we missed in FW when we were there while we wait for WS to open. I plan on taking some pictures with the park relatively empty too.

Joe and I, or maybe just Joe, will leave the park around 11 to go to the airport. My cousin Paula is joining us today. We're extremely close. We lived next door in a duplex growing up. Here is a picture of us with my Papou and her sister Debbie from 1960 something. Debbie died of cancer in 2005. We miss here like you wouldn't believe.

Here is a more recent picture of Paula and her daughter Makayla. This was taken in 2005.

Paula is Sara's mom. You guys may remember me telling you about Sara. She died when she was 11 in 2000. Here is a picture of her with her "Uncle Phil"...Phil Collins...... He's not really her uncle but that's what he told her his name was.

We plan to come right back to Epcot from the airport. We'll catch up with the rest of the family. Hopefully we won't miss many of the pavilions. If we do, we'll just make them start over.

Thanks for the link. I own a bathing suit but I hate the way it looks. I am sorta hard to fit so it's not like I can just go to the store and buy one, which I hate.

I've wondered if they have a rule about shorts in the pools, but I will check out the thread. It doesn't help that I have gained like 75, yeah 75 pounds since I met Joe. I've taken off 20 of so and hope by next year to be back to my size when I met him. Of course, Joe is 50, yeah 50 pounds lighter this year than in the pictures I am posting with him in them.

I am packing my bathing suit so I may just bite the bullet and wear it......

We will start in Mexico. I love to shop in the Mexico pavilion. I will want to ride this:

Joe doesn't like this ride at all. There is next to no leg room in the boats, so he says.

After Mexico, we will go to Norway. I LOVE this pavilion. It's one of my favorites.

Check out my nutty mother:

Last year for our anniversary, Joe got me a Helly Hansen jacket and matching boots from the store in Norway. I'm hoping to get gloves this year.

From Norway, we'll move to China. For some reason, I don't have pictures of the China pavilion...at least I can't find one.

One year I got four soup spoons which I love from the China Pavilion. I've looked for bowls since then. Nada, not one that I like.

After China, we'll head to Germany. Joe loves this pavilion. We do a lot of shopping here. I got a cuckoo clock one year that I absolutely love.

Joe collects steins so we may get him another one for his collection too.

We seem to spend quite a bit of time in the Germany pavilion.

After Germany is Italy, but you know what?....we will probably skip it. I know, I know............please don't leave me because we don't like the Italy Pavilion.

I'm going to stop here for now since my favorite Photobucket is being stupid again.........

Awww I get all tingly when I see pics of the MNSSHP. I hope you can get your picture with Snow White and the Seven Dwarves becuase it is such a once in a lifetime experience.

Your plans look great and Kouzzina looks yummy. Mom and I have breakfast reservations for our departure day because the menu looks so good.

We need to get together again soon because I need to replace the pics of us that I lost.

You know how I love me some Greek food, right Elizabeth?

Let's get together sometime before my trip. I still have your number so I will text you.

We last left off in Germany. My guess is that it will be well past lunch time and while we wanted to eat at Yorkshire, my guess is we will eat in Germany.

Off to the American Adventure we go.

I seriously don't know how these guys don't have heat stroke in these costumes! Yikes!

I tear up every time we're in the American Adventure. I don't know if it is the singers or the show. The both get me every time.

From there, we are off to Japan. I plan to pick a pearl....or two....

We will undoubtedly spend some time in this pavilion. My brother and my husband both like to shop here. My brother gets this bizarre soda stuff. Joe has been eyeballing the swords here for YEARS. I just have no clue where in the house we'd put the dang thing....but he wants one!

I love to browse in Japan. If we're lucky, we will see the candy lady again but in all my years, we've seen her once.

We keep telling my cousin that she'll be drinking around the world. Her question to me.........do they have beer? Who knows what shape we'll be in by the time we hit Japan.

I'm pretty ambitious but my gut tells me we won't get further than Japan before it's time for a break to prepare for dinner.

We'll head back to WL and change for dinner.

Tonight is a special night. We're dining at:

The Grand Floridian Cafe. YUMMMMMM..........

As posted earlier, I ordered a specialty cake for our anniversary. I can't wait to try it.

After dinner, we'll most likely call it a night. I imagine that it will be quite late by the time we leave there. If anything, we may go to DTD but I really don't want the rest of the cake to melt in the car.

So that's day 7. Thoughts?

 

[OhioDisneyLover]

Once we get back to WL, we have to go to the desk and let them know that we have a guest for the next 4 nights. I called and was told that there would be a $25 fee per night and that we'd need to pay separate for the hopper. Food would be OOP as we cannot add anyone to the package.

I am hoping that this is true and that we're not going to find ourselves needing to get her an entire room, etc.

Has anyone had an overnight guest for more than one night?

Great plans for Days 6 & 7

Hope you can get the gloves to match the jacket, just keep hovering over them maybe

Yes I know how you love Greek food

Can't wait to see if we can get together. Summer semester ended today so I am free until fall semester starts.

 

[KatMark]

Any luck at Costco on the rental car?

 

[HeatherBelle614]

I'm actually thinking about the Behind the Seeds tour!! So you liked it? Would you definitely rec it? Did you book it in advance, or just walk up that day??

 

[onescgirl]

I love your plans for each day! And, looking at all your pictures is just making me so much more excited about my trip!!!

That's awesome that you're done until the fall semester. We'll definitely have to get together.

We didn't check. I got side tracked, but Joe is going to check it out.

We booked in advance. I'd do it again in a minute. It was very interesting and the time just flew by.

I love your plans for each day! And, looking at all your pictures is just making me so much more excited about my trip!!!

Thanks. I'm excited to get there too.

 

[All7OfUs]

I"m doing the seeds tour too!! I can't remember who asked about it, but I"m super excited for it.

Also doing the PaP too!!! I hope I get a gigantic one that will match the color of my strand!

Yes, Mousegears has an ODD poopish odor, or so I'm told.

I think you'll really like Behind the Seeds.

I've got two pearls now that are nearly the same size. I really want to make earrings out of them. Not sure what I'll do this year though.

I have my eye on a ring this year. Even if it's twins, I'll try to find a setting for them- side by side.

i'm so hoping that my brother will get to meet his pal: :lmao
