World Showcase, alcohol, 6.11.09
Right, so MGM was crowded and I wanted to hear some Off Kilter. So since there was a boat, I took it to the Swan/Dolphin where I got off and walked the rest of the way to Epcot. Much shorter trip, as long as you don't mind the walk, which of course, you know I don't!
Anyway, I had already missed the 2:30 show, so once I arrived to the Int'l Gateway, I stopped at the Rose & Crown Pub to grab a drink to bring with me to the 3:30 show. What did I order? Welsh Dragon, of course! And Nicki had posted about a special souvenir cup it now comes in, but well, for about 3 bucks cheaper, I could have it in a plain old cup. Fine with me! Here we are, after I took my seat in Canada
When I got there, Randy was still on stage, and he informed me that the whole crew was there, except for Jamie. I was bummed, as I like seeing them all together, but well, it actually ended up pretty awesome.... keep reading
Here's Goofy/Aaron waiting for the show to start
And again with Randy and Mark
So at some point in the show, Mike does all these awesome fiddle moves, behind the head, behind the back, through the legs, etc. Then he comes down into the audience to get someone to "help" him fiddle. Well....guess who he chose!?!?!?! Me!!!!!!!!!! And since I was there by myself, Mark mentioned that someone should pick up my camera, and a very nice gentleman in the row behind me did. Thank you kind man! Because of you, I can share these!!!
Thrilled doesn't even begin to cover it! I will never be unhappy that the fiddle is in place of the bagpipes again!!
Anyway, Off Kilter doesn't play at 4:30, so I took that time to go get me a Disney Visa Meet n Greet, and to ride Spaceship Earth.
Stopped at the Colas of the world thingy, and got me some yummy watermelon soda from China. They're usually out of it when I go, so I was happy.
Then on my way back to Canada, I took the long way around the lake, stopping first at China, for a yummy "Peach Snap!". That's what they call the peach slushie w/peach schnapps. Seriously good stuff. Tea stand
Menu
Peach Snap!
Had me some more Off Kilter at 5:30
Another break til 6:30...so I decided I may as well get a Grey Goose Slush from the stand in France. Twist my arm, really
Some more Off Kilter at 6:30
Ugh, then my alcoholic mistake of the trip. I went over to Italy to get my beloved Italian Margarita. Well. I asked for it and noticed it was really watery. Like, not frozen at all. So I was like, um, can I taste that please? Because I am used to it being frozen. So the guy put some ice in it for me, but really? Major disappointment! And they raised the price too! Not happy!
At this point, I realized that my camera was broken! I had accidentally dropped it while in its case, and well, I left the screen viewing area next to batteries, and well, it cracked. Awesome. So at least I could still take pics, but I had no idea what I was getting, and had no way of checking. I had a minor breakdown, but then convinced myself I would be okay, I was in Disney after all! And if all my pictures didn't come out, well, I would be back, and I would survive. So yeah, after my minor freak out, it was time for my last Off Kilter of the day! 7:30 show. As you can see, I got lots of peoples heads, haha, had to adjust to not seeing what I was shooting!
After that, I walked back to MGM to use my FP for TSM and Star Tours, then went back to the Swan to grab some grub at Kimonos. Here are a couple pics of the gorgeous view on my walk to MGM
Pretty decent for having no clue what I was shooting!!!
next up: dinner @Kimonos
So, I'm adding it to my list, because I need a Picnic Punch! I've never done 50's Prime Time either. I think I need to go for two weeks to fit in everything! Can't wait to read more....
and I can't wait to see the pics of the rest of your trip.
My mom's birthday was also on June 13th.
And I ordered your house specialty!
I'm a lite weight when it comes to drinking, but I may need to do something about that.
All those drinks look so good (sorry about the Italian Margarita!). Can't wait to read more....
