So after visiting the Neverland Garden and getting our annual photo taken at the fountain, we decide to ride Journey into your Imagination. This is a cute ride and we love to spend some time playing in the building.
HOWEVER, wouldn't you know it? As soon as we sit down in the car and it moves away, I have this
very uncomfortable feeling. I won't gross anyone out with the details but let me just say that I swear I wasn't going to make it!
Which brings us to Question:
2. Where are the best restrooms in Epcot and why do I say this?
I guess something I ate at Le Cellier did not agree with me (DH thought maybe it was the "rare meat syndrome" if you know what I mean...). So I frantically ask where the bathrooms are, only to find that they are completely outside the building, around the corner and behind the building. But hardly anyone knows about these restrooms since they are tucked away -- they were super clean, tons of them (I hate the ones in Epcot that are only 3 stalls like near the McD's outpost) and empty!!
Funny sidenote: as soon as I got off the ride, I headed very quickly to the first CM I saw. She, not knowing my condition, says out loud, "my, you look so serious! You're at Disney -- smile!" When I told her I needed the restroom immediately, she was like all sorry and stuff. Guess she thought I was coming up to her to complain or something...
So if anyone ever has a
moment and you are near Journey, remember!
Afterwards we took some cool photos
Now if you remember, I played volleyball since I was in 5th grade and still do play whenever I can. So when I saw this topiary, I knew exactly what I had to do:
These birds were just wonderful!
DD loves Pluto! Whenever she says, "mommy, make up a story!" it has to be about Mickey and Pluto.
And finally the answer to our third Question
3. I make my first purchase! What is it?
a) Garden T-shirt
b) Mickey Shovel
c) Postcards
d) Sun catcher
I wanted to send out some postcards for this trip. I foolishly thought I could find them at Wal-Mart cheaper but I guess Disney holds all the licensing agreements and doesn't sell them outside of Disney (or at least not at Wal-Mart).
Then I saw these incredibly cool sun catchers. As the wind moves them around, they catch the sunlight and look like they are neon lights. It's amazing! However, they also weren't cheap. So I decided to do my splurge item on day #1 (a mistake? I usually like to think about a souvenir...) and used some of my Disney Visa Rewards on this. Now which one did I get?
I got the blue and red Mickey one in the middle of the photo. As it turns out, it was the very last one and about 3 minutes after I picked it up and was still deciding if I wanted to pay $50 or so for it, someone else comes up and says they want the blue and red large Mickey -- well, that sealed it for me. No way was I putting it down and "thinking" about it.
Now it hangs outside on my deck and DD and I have a ritual that we have to touch the Mickey and say something silly like "Hi, Mickey Mouse" or "Mickey Mickey". It makes us both smile -- so it was worth it for me!
Oh, I almost forgot! I also bought DD the Epcot DVD. In Sept, I bought DD the DVD of MK and AK. We would watch these often at home to get to know the parks. So I wanted her to have the Epcot one too, now that we spent more time in Epcot!
We then rode Nemo -- DD absolutely loves this one! and then we rode the re-vamped Spaceship Earth. It was quite cute -- I like the additions.
I was thrilled that we were able to walk right on the rides so we were home by 8:45pm. Tomorrow we go to Epcot.
QUIZ TIME --
Hmmm, what can I cook up this time???
1. We eat lunch at a new place...are we 'shore' to like it?
2. DD rides Test Track and Soarin' for the first time. What is her reaction?
3. Tomorrow night is Date Night. DH and I have a habit of exploring a place and being giddy like teenagers
We found a new place to watch the MK fireworks and Electrical Parade. Any guesses?
I bet ya didn't think of that did ya?
