So it was our first day after the marriage! We got up at about 7 (really) and had some yummy cake for breakfast, with lots of coffee (I know, healthy) but since we had ADR for Rose & Crown at 12.30, we were ok with such fillings for our tummies.
As I mentioned, our room was just across the parking lot from bus station 3a at CSR, so we put our Mickey & Minnie bridal ears, our just married buttons and we went to conquer de world!
Our plan was to go to World Showcase at Epcot, and pretend we were travelling the world for our Honeymoon. So, on to the bus stop. There, some people began commenting about being just married, thinking the ears were just a game. When we convinced them otherwise, it was all cheering and congratulating. They took a picture of us:
They said I was too serious, that I should try to look like a just married man! So this was the result:
Juana began wondering why everybody was laughing, so turned around to look at me, and I quickly changed my smile.
Sometime later, when we returned to our room, saw the pictures and understood the smiles.
We made a short stop at Finding Nemo, we find that attraction very cute, and had a walk around
Then we began seeing all the countries. The idea was to see all the shows in our way to England, and found out that we could see them all if we ran to the neighboring country as soon as the current country show was ending. So we saw France, Morocco and Japan. We liked Morockin,
and while we liked them, we didnt like the dancer very much. All the steps were performed in a very clean and elegant way, but kind of basic. That, didnt stop me to take a picture of her, along with my now wife
We really loved the theming of Morocco; we think is the best of all Epcot. We loved the small alley where the restaurant is
One very nice thing about wearing the ears, is that almost everybody that saw we were taking pictures of each other, offered to take pictures of both of us together
and of course congratulated and best wished us
Following the lines of a global market, we imported our drinks from France into Morocco
Ahhh those grand marnier slushies are just sooo good.
Then we went to Japan, where we loved the Drums. For some reason, we dont have pictures of Japan, I think because it was almost time for our ressies at Rose and Crown. We were told to wait for about 10 minutes, so we did
what else? Look into a store
. Outside of which, we had another picture taken
We finally made it into Rose and Crown. I know there are mixed reviews about this place, but we really loved this place. We ordered the chees esampler for starter, and while we thought it was expensive for the amount of cheese, all of them were really good, and the companions for the cheese were great. Then we had the fish and chips and the bangers with mash. Both dishes were very good. This is me enjoying
We shared half and half of the dishes, and were more than happy with our selection.
After having lunch and a couple of beers, we went to visit Italy, where we had the grappa Margaritas. Another drink we really enjoyed. Can you begin to see a pattern here? It wasnt Around the world in 80 days, but Around the world in 80 drinks
We went back to France to take this picture
And this pic in Morocco. One too many slushies? Juana is taking belly dance lessons, so thought this would be a good time to strike a pose
We made it back to our room to freshen up and get dressed for the Cirque. We knew this Cirque was at a vacation spot and informality in wearing, but we wanted to make this special and we dressed like going to the theatre.
Remember that I told you Juana doesnt like to feel like shes very feminine? How feminine is this?
We were still enchanted by the ceremony the day before, and all the fun we had in Epcot. It really is a very romantic place, if looked at, with romantic eyes.
Let me tell you, the Cirque is awesome. We had seen a couple of shows, but maybe it was the pixiedust or the sound system but this one was our favorite. Even when we have seen some of the performances at the other productions. We were sitting on the side (middle category), first row, and while for some of the acrobatics was hard to look up, we really liked being so close to the performers. The clowns were great, and really had us laughing. Everything was perfect.
So we were all cozy when the day ended, and we felt more coziness when we saw this while exiting the show
It was made with water over the pavement, thanking everyone for coming to the show. This, also, for some strange reason that I dont quite understand yet, felt very cute and romantic WINK.
On the way back to our room, we decided to walk all the way from the main building. Let me tell you:CSR at night is even more beautiful. All in dark, with the lights in the buildings around the like
the smells
everything.
Our first day as a married couple had ended, And had been dream-like. We could only wonder about things to come. We spent some time outside the room, enjoying the cold, the peace
the ceremony with an outside provider, but wanted to capture it with our own camera anyway. And I was a little worried actually because the camera man hasnt arrived yet. He finally showed up about 15 min before the ceremony, much to my relief, and began taping and interviewing and etc.
, being walked down the hall by my mother. I could see all the excitement, happiness, a bit of sadness, and hope in her eyes. My mother had the same look 
So just pressed a button so it stopped ringing, but it was all recorded. As was the intermittent beep to tell me I had a missed call. 
I just dont know why I didnt simply turn it off.
and artists (well, performers) are so into it. Lots of nice looks, applauses, cheering
it is really a unique experience. I could get used to it. Could not get used to paying the bills, but certainly could get used to it.
Our plan for the next day was to go to World Showcase and visit many countries. We were really looking forward for lunch @ Rose & Crown, and
Cirque du Soleil at night! That, in the next instalment.
! My DF and I like to sample the tasty drinks too, the Orange Slush is my fave, but I will have to try that Grappa Maragarita next time too! And when you don't have to worry about driving home, I say why not right! It is a vacation after all!
