[MEK]

I think it is always there.

It probably is, but I don't recognize the angle. I've got to take a better look next time. Clearly I am missing some of the sights.

 

[PrincessInOz]

Sexy is right! Love that picture.

Great pictures of Epcot.

I liked the mini decorations in the train display. so cute

aww...i want a Lion King Pillow pet..looks so soft

Renee looks nice and refreshed

They were cute.
I would not let anyone lay on it so it would stay fluffy.
She enjoyed herself in there.

I just love how they decorate that train display to whatever is going on in Epcot. So cute!

The WS looks absolutely beautiful with the bright sun and blue sky!

I agree.
It was a perfect day.

And he didn't buy that? Seriously, gotta love his smile in that pics!

It really does look like a perfect Florida day!

No he did not.
it was.

We headed back to the resort and we went swimming for a little while and then at 5:41 we were heading out the door for a dinner at Epcot.
Have I mentioned I love this pool. LOL.


Always ahead of us.


I love Spaceship Earth.


Hello Goofy.


Have I mentioned how much I love this fountain? It is so pretty at night.




Then we continue don with our walk to our dinner destination.




Looking out over the lake.




I wish these came out better. I was walking and only stopping for a minute.


I love the Twinings store. Unfortunately I did not buy anything this trip.


We are getting closer.


I must have been fascinated by the water.


We are there.


Vinny checked us in but we had a little wait. I looked around.




Then we went inside.


What we ordered.

Scott:
Soupe a l'oignon Gratinee - the classic onion soup topped with Gruyere cheese $7.99

I asked for no bread in it but it had it so I ate around it.

Then I had what I had been craving all week long.
Cassolette d'escargots de Bourgogne au beurre persille - casserole of escargots (snails) from Burgundy baked in parsley and garlic butter $12.99

It was SO GOOOOOD!

Vinny:
Soupe a l'oignon Gratinee - the classic onion soup topped with Gruyere cheese $7.99


Gratin de Macaroni - Macaroni baked with cream Gruyere cheese $18.99

He enjoyed both meals. I love that Mac n’ Cheese.

Renee:
Salade de Chevre Chaud - Baked goat cheese with walnuts, fresh grapes, tomatoes, endives and arugula salad $11.99
I have no pic (I have hardly any pics of her food. I guess because I would have leaned over).

We love this place. I have yet to have a bad meal here and the escargot is to die for. YUM!
Total $61.87 (With 20% off for Tables in Wonderland).

After dinner we went walking around to walk off the meal and to exit. Looks like they were setting up for a party.


Looking out at Spaceship earth.


I like the trees lit up in this pic.


I think I will stop here for now.

Up next,

The rest of our walk and night.

Great pix of the fountain it is soooo pretty at night !! Your food looked yummy !! Your pix of the lake are great !!

 

[mickeystoontown]

Dinner looks really good even though it included snails. I've only had escargot once and was surprised that I enjoyed it. I guess you just have to get past the fact that you are eating snails. (or at least I had to)

I can see why you were fascinated by the water. It's so pretty in all of your pictures.

 

[DisneyKid4Life]

Ahh love the extra detail of the Germany train area all decorated for Christmas.

"He’s bringing sexy back."

 

[PrincessAlways]

I've been following but not posting for awhile. However I must now....."he's bringing sexy back"!!!!! Now that's cute!!

Your pictures are always beautiful!!

 

[PrincessInOz]

YUM! I love Chefs. They serve a consistently good meal there.

Lovely nighttime shots of Epcot. I was curious about your comment about the Twinnings shops. I thought most supermarkets in the US stock the twinnings range? Was there a particular reason why you would buy stuff from England/Epcot instead of buying from the local supermarket at your home town?

I agree, Scott's pics are amazing And dinner looks great with a great price (for Disney) but even though the snails look delicious...I had them once and the texture turned me off I was young..maybe 10. However I have no issues with seafood..go figure, I am weird

I love snails. YUM! All it tastes like is garlic and butter. I did to at first.
Thank you.

Me too.
He thinks he is.

They do.
They do sell it here but I feel better when I but it there. LOL. It is from Epcot. it makes it special.

You should try them again. That is where I tried them for the first time. I like dit because they come in a tray and not shells. Now I can pick them out of the shells and eat them.

 

[scottny]

Then we came to Morocco.




Then Japan.




Then we went to America. Here is there tree lit up.


Then I had a PP taken.


Then we came to Italy.






Germany anyone?


EEK!




Looking back.






Then we got to China.




Then we got to Mexico.




Soon enough we were up front and seeing this as we made our way out.




We then said goodnight to.


I still think one of them passed a little wind.


One last look at Goofy and Donald.


My walking for the day.


That concludes day 9. A fun day at Epcot then some swimming and a wonderful meal.

Up next,

Mk, Dismeet, Family and 2 parks

 

[jenseib]

Dinner looks great. I do love Escargot!

I am loving your night shots and the water ones too. It makes me want to go back there and spend an evening....right now!!!

 

[Trentmom]

Loving all your nighttime shots. All so pretty

 

[pas130]

I think my stepfather took it out of the shell, but it was in this creamy super duper garlicky sauce BLEH...those that you have looked GOOD

If it is too much garlic than that is bad. They r good there.

This morning started early as I went downstairs at 7:10 to do laundry. It took 2 hours to do and then we were on our way.


I thought Lorrie forgot to return the scooter. LOL!


Our bus stop.


Our bus for this part of the day.


Everyone must have been at the park already.


Soon enough we were seeing this.


Have no fear we found the crowds.


There were performers out on the street.


Cute window displays.


Here is Minnie.


The “toys” wanted in a display.


Bad pic here but you can see Lightning McQueen.


Glow hats. I can honestly say I saw maybe 2 the entire trip.


Here is a video of street singers.

Then they were on their way.


A castle shot.


I think this is pretty with the castle and the sky.


I had to take a pic of the fountain.


Progress on Mine ride. Kind of mute now that it is open.


I think I will stop here as the next update has lots of pics.

Up next,

We go for a ride in a honeypot.

 

[tazdev3225]

Caught up again. Still not eating snails.

The water pics look great.

I used a different company for the scooter.

Now off to see who else I have been neglecting.
