Thanks for taking me on a lovely stroll through World Showcase on a cold, dreary Chicago afternoon. I needed that little pick-me-up!
I also hope to try some treats from that Caramel shop (I'm not even going to try to spell it!).
They are predicting another 1-3 inches of snow for us tonight, so another World Showcase stroll might be necessary to take us away from the gloom.
I have heard that the caramel corn is really good, too.
The Caramel Shop is heavenly. I think I gained 5 pounds from stopping in there 1 time. I think we bought out the store. I love caramel and this is the best that I have ever had.
We got a letter from the kids school today about a make-up day. We missed 5 days but had 4 days for bad weather built into the calender. They have decided to start school 5 minutes early until the end of the school year to make it up. How much instruction time do they think they are going to make up? I think it is silly but whatever works. As long as school doesn't go into June(128 more days until WDW) I will be ok with whatever they decide.
I can't even imagine our district even entertaining the idea of an extra five minutes every day, and if they did, we would have to provide a separate pile of paperwork about how we were going to utilize that five minutes.
We won't have a lot of Epcot time, so we won't be able to spend too much time in that shop, which is probably a good thing.
Marc and I stopped for the caramel corn twice, it was out of this world! We also brought home some caramel with pecans, again delicious!
The Epcot stroll was a welcome walk on a cold and cloudy day in Kansas! I think it must be 8 weeks for us before we go back.
We were just there, how can I miss it so much already?
I have read that about the caramel corn. If they have it with pecans, I'm a goner!
More snow and ice for us tonight, too. It has been a long, wet, cold winter.
I wish we lived in DIStown! I would have a plethora of folks I could count on. Luckily a friend is going to do it. I thought she would be gone at the same time but I had my dates messed up so it looks like it might work out. It's a huge weight off my shoulders!
Wasn't it?? I can laugh about it today but yesterday I was peeved that a 20 minute thing took up 4 hours of my Sunday afternoon. I did eventually get booked, btw, online. I still had a 30+ minute wait on the phone.
Whatever it take to get a new trip booked. Now you can bask in the glory of your plans!
Glad you found a housesitter. The fewer things on the 'to do' list, the better you feel.
1. I now need caramel. 
2. I need warm sunshine (desparately!)
3. Wow 6 girls...
You've got a good start on six girls. Are you going to make it to six?
I am so jealous that the caramel shop was so empty when you were there! I had every intention of getting a treat there, but it was packed by the time we made it there that afternoon.
I was glad to get the pictures of the store and not have to work around a lot of people to do it.
YUMMY!!!! Carmel!!!! Thanks for those pics!
You are so welcome. I will get some of us actually eating something from there next time.
Yes, you know it too well!! That is exactly why I wrote it! I agree!!! I was chuckling along with your TOT Weasel remark, so funny, then of course I just had to follow suit!! The funny thing as you say is that we all "get" the references !!! You go ahead and peel those bananas!!!
The trip is coming soon!!!
Oh the pecans sound good! MeMom, those photos looked delish, and everyone's descriptions, WOW! Where is this store? Did it replace something? Do tell!!?? I love caramel too.
And WigD, it is easy to miss something you really love.
I have four trips planned for this year, and I am stressed because none of them are long enough to really go and enjoy it the right way. I'd say it is easy to miss something you love so much even when you are already going a lot. It's quite ridiculous!
It replaced Glas und Porzellan, or however you spell it.
I can laugh about it today but yesterday I was peeved that a 20 minute thing took up 4 hours of my Sunday afternoon. I did eventually get booked, btw, online. I still had a 30+ minute wait on the phone.
3 is half of 6... only it's 1/5 the fun!
