After watching the amazing Candy Lady in Japan, we wandered our way to the Italy pavilion. We had not visited there yet and Jonah needed to get the charm for his mask. It was so nice to just wander around with no real time constraints!
Very relaxing!
We made it to Italy and went straight back to the KidCot station to get Jonah squared away. I think these masks are just gorgeous!
The topiaries for Flower and Garden Festival were AMAZING! This is one of my favorites!
After a couple pics of my boys by the fountain

And one of Jonah that was just too cute to resist
..
.we decided it was time to say
arrivederci to Italy and try to get to China in time to see the acrobats performance at 3:05. Unfortunately, the late night was beginning to catch up with Isaiah and he had other ideas!
Poor boy was just tuckered out and ready for a nap! So
and again, scold me if you must
.we left him there on that little bench to rest. Jeff let him know where we would be and said to call if he needed anything and off we went to China. We figured wed see the acrobats and then, if he had not yet joined us, wed head back to Italy to wake him up! He looked a little like a homeless orphan sleeping there so soundly! LOL!
One thing I had not seen on other trips was the railroad display in Germany, so I was determined to find it this trip. I had located it the night we stayed for Extra Magic Hours, but it was too dark to take a picture. So
here are the ones I snapped on our way to China.
I loved that the little trains had advertisements on them for Flower and Garden Fest
cute little touch! Heres a picture of the rooftops in the German pavilion. I had a thing for rooftop pics this trip
odd.
I think I posted one of the rooftops in Norway earlier!
I also took a picture of the restaurant we would be coming back to for dinner later that evening. See ya soon
.save some yummy food for us!
We had a few extra minutes and Jonah found this cute little play area he wanted to explore a bit. The little areas they have set up just for Flower and Garden Fest are really adorable!
There happened to be a Photopass photographer there who got these great shots!
We got to China at just about 3:05 and were directed to the inside of the Temple for the acrobat show
not sure why it wasnt being done out in the courtyard, because it was a beautiful day. As we were headed inside, we noticed Mulan finishing up her meet and greet and decided to squeeze that in before the show. Poor Isaiah missed her, but Dan explained to Mulan that his brother was taking a nap in Italy, and she signed Isaiahs autograph book for him. Sweet!
My favorite part of this picture is that Mulan is holding Jonahs hand
aww!
Due to our short visit with Mulan, we were late for the acrobats and got terrible seats in the back. The Chinese kids who do this show are truly incredible! If you have not seen this short demonstration, I highly recommend it! I got horrible pictures because we were inside
and because I had to take them over everyones heads
but here they are.
At some point during the show, Isaiah showed up from his Italian pisolino (nap, I looked it up!). He was refreshed and a little bothered that the Italian jugglers show woke him up! LOL!
That huge gift shop in China was calling and we couldnt resist. The boys just love that place! On our 2007 trip, Dan had purchased juggling sticks and had become pretty proficient at using them. He was trying to show off, I mean, teach his brother a thing or two!
This cute CM stepped in and gave them a lesson!
Having seen what we wanted to see in the way of performances, we decided to head back to Future World and use the FPs that we had obtained on our way into the park. We had one for Test Track and one for Soarin. We also wanted to check out the Fairy Garden, well at least I did, and do a little shopping before our 7:35 dinner ADR at Biergarten.
Up Next
.how many Rice Krispy treats can one boy buy?? And do I brave Minnies Butterfly Tent?
All those power naps seem to have helped keep him healthy, though.
Thanks for joining me for the ride!
I'm so sad that your report is coming to an end!!
