I didn't think it was abig deal, you only choked once!! Update 9/18 final thoughts

Ahh..my favorite: World Showcase! And it is so pretty during the festival!

So, no pictures of the food but do you recommend??

I bet Caitlin discovered it was more fun taking her own "hottie" than searching WS for them!

I love the Flower Festival, it's so beautiful!

I personally enjoy the Oktoberfest show and atmosphere of the restaurant more than I do the food BUT Dale and Caitlin really like the food. We ate there again last week

Yes she did

 

[dawnbu40]

Don't you love wondering different countries of WS to see cute CMs?

I made DS an Epcot Passport this year. We change things around every year to make WS more interesting for DS. Last year, we collected different pressed pennies from each country.

I can't wait to hear about your Aug trip. It looks like you guys converted Josh to Disneyholic also.

Yes we do

I think it's fun to have a goal around WS whether it's eating, drinking or doing the passport or pennies. It adds to the fun.

We sure did convert Josh. I can't say too much about the trip yet but I will say by the end of the first day he was in love with WDW (and we'd only been to the resort and DTD!)

Love Caitlin's goal of meeting a hottie in every country. Maybe I should do that in a future trip, lol my mom and I colored in two duffy coloring sticks and went around the world collecting stamps from each cast member on the stick part of the stick. We also collected different ways to say hello in each country. Norway's was the most fun to say. According to the cast member who told us how to say hi in norway this is actually slang, in norweigan hello is "Hei-Hei". In addition we took pictures of the duffy's in each country. It was kind of kid-like but it was actually really fun despite our ages. This upcoming trip we are going to take pictures of Duffy with different foods from each country.

How fun that you colored Duffy's! I love him, he's so cute!
Sounds like a lot of fun

Great Epcot/F&GF pictures. That's too cute that the little village changes seasonally. I never really pay attention to it but I like how there are even little "topiaries" in it!

Ooh, Guido. Isn't that the name of one of the characters in Cars?

Dale loves the train so we always spend a lot of time over there which is how we came to notice it changes seasonally. Gotta love Disney's attention to detail

YAY an update! It's so hard to enjoy the parks as much when it's ridicuously hot outside. At least you took some refuge in the Flower and Garden pavilion. It looks so cool in there!

OMG that CM is SO cute! I agree. Way to go Germany! hahaha I would have been to distracted to take food pictures too.

The Voices of Liberty are amazing. I love them.

Sounds like a fun afternoon at the pool. Can't wait for more!

We tried to get out of the heat as much as we could that day so the Festival Center was a nice diversion.

He was a doll!

Our goal is to have this TR done by the end of next week so there should be another update on Sunday or Tuesday

Good job MOM!!!!! Keeping the TR going!

Beautiful pictures. I love the fairies! I was just editing my fairy pictures for our May TR. I finally got around to seeing them on the last day.

I am subbed to a thread now where they are having a heated discussion about people taking pictures on Spaceship Earth. I think they are anti-all pictures, including non flash. I gotta tell you it gets down right hostile out there away from the trip report boards.

I'm glad you are going to be putting the rush on this so you can get to your next TR. I'm thinking of starting my next TR soon (even though I haven't left yet) starting with my williamsburg trip followed by my HH trip and then my December trip. Then I have my June and October trip to look forward to.

I love the fairy area too. It's so pretty!

We better keep Caitlin away from that thread. She likes taking pics on the rides but never uses flash on any of the rides.

We are eager to start the new TR but do have to finish this one. We are actually up to the last evening now and then just have the last half day but of course that's when the drama began

Your next TR sounds great! I can't wait to see the Williamsburg pics! Not to mention Disney at Christmas!

Hi Dawn! Great update! Yes that CM was adorable, almost makes me want to go there on the next trip!! lol one can dream....haha

Yesterday I was in Westland Mall and I was thinking how funny it would be if I ever ran into you gals there. You 2 are like the disboards celebrities, I bet you get recognized all over. And now with Caitlins billboard, well I need to meet you guys before you have bodyguards.

Love how the train village changes! Never noticed that. More things to check out when we return to the World!

Can't WAIT for the new TR. And the drama on this one sounds interesting....wonder what it is??

Hi Samantha! Thank you! Well we didn't see him last week so he might be gone

What a small world, we were there yesterday too! I wish we would have run into you! We keep saying we need to meet up but we really need to plan something. As for the billboard, we found out yesterday there is a 2nd one with her pic on 94 at Telegraph. People are messaging her grandma with billboard sightings

I know the village changes for Food and Wine and Flower and Garden. I'm not sure if they do anything for the holidays.


As for the drama on this Tr, well let's say it went something like this.....

 

[meeko_33785]

Nice photos of the details in Pixie Hollow and the Railway Garden. Someday I really need to get back to EPCOT during the Flower and Garden Festival.

Yes you do! It is so beautiful then!

When Caitlin left off we were at Epcot.....she neglected to tell you a couple things though. First of all, it was unbearably hot that day! I don't know the exact temp but we kept hearing that it broke a record that day. So the weather was miserable!

In Pamplona they have the running of the bulls. In WDW it's the running of the tourists to the next air conditioned building (or club cool)

This is such a cheesy little ride but we all love it!

Still haven't done it. Only did Maelstrom on the last trip. Gotta leave something for future trips I guess!

After our cruise we continued on around WS as we had a lunch adr to get to...
China

Havent' been in there either! Ummm.... I gotta get back pretty soon, I'm thinking.

Soon as I saw this, it reminded me of the KP missions. Have you guys done any?

And then we kept missing and catching him from behind

Hmmm.... I know a few women who swear that's the best viewing angle.

Do you think female scientists really dressed like this in the 60's?

No! Absolutely not! That's totally wrong! She should have short sleeves.

Up next......dinner and shopping

As for the drama on this Tr, well let's say it went something like this.....

Dinner, popcorn and then you mention ... Hmmm....
Thanks for the update!

It's kind of like It's A Small World minus the song

We've done all the missions and they are a lot of fun

94 and Telegraph??? I drive by there a few times a week for my job. How have I missed that? I will look now. I'm glad you warned me, seems I would probably be a little shocked to see a familiar face on a billboard!!! lol what a huge deal!!!

Oh no..........?????? That doesn't sound good at all. If its really gross, put a warning first.... I hope whoever got sick got over it quick!!!

Are you watching the MI game right now??? lol That would of been a fun place for a dis meet!!!

We just found out about that one on Friday so I'm not sure how long its been there. A couple of Caitlin's friends have told her they've almost had accidents when they look up and see her on a billboard

We will try to keep it from being too detailed. Don't want grossed out readers

It sure would
