I need to re-read the WS part and write down all the yummy drinks you had.... next trip I hope to try some of them! So glad you enjoyed EPCOT... sorry you missed Mexico and Illuminations... next time!

yes, you must!!! you will need a few drinks with 3 kids in tow at epcot! just kidding....i'd babysit your girls any day - they're such cuties! and i'm sure luke will be just handsome! wow......you only have a month left.

So with all this drinking, you are both still standing?? No wonder the heat was getting to you.

Dawn, you must tell me more about the Pokemon things in Japan. My ds is FREAKED out in LOVE with, as my dh refers to it... Hokeypoky.

To ILuvXU's point... You should totally make a drink list of drinks one should try in WDW. That would be awesome!

Ray just took it tonight with his cell...usually those don't come out that great. I was impressed with his photography skills this time around!!

and my Disneyland one is from the following December : http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1344628
I thought about just adding subsequent DL trips to this one, but not so many people read the DL reports, so it didn't seem worth the work. I am just about to upload the pictures from my recent trip, so maybe I'll just tack them onto the end.

Eli with Eeyore. OMGosh, too adorable!


Love the pictures!!!!!


Did you touch my drum set????

 

[jordanyosh]

as i walked by the door i saw this guy on a bench outside the store snoozing away! it was around 3:15 so i'm guessing it was past his nap time!

Maybe he was drunk.....

the japanese storyteller was starting her show when we came out of the store. she was teaching kids how to count in japanese. it was cute!

Ichi....ni.....san....shi....go

 

[jordanyosh]

we finally got up and looked around the little kiosks near the water in china. it was apparently time to model some hats!

Again great minds think alike....

 

[winkers]

that tricky troll has captured another maiden in distress!!!!!!

I love that picture!!!

It's great to see Ray enjoying epcot so much! Was it the refreshments that helped to change his mind?

 

[winkers]

Again great minds think alike....

Jordan, you look like someone has a gun to your back making you pose for the picture!

I did it on purpose...really.

Showing your "Peepitude?"

 

[MAGICFOR2]

Hi Dawn! I'm finally caught up! I am so busy right now, I just can't keep up - when I stop to read a TR, I fall asleep! Not that yours is boring!

I love your trip around the world - lots of adult beverages! The picture of you with the flowers is just beautiful! I can't believe it's your last day already. I'm glad its almost time for you to start reporting from your September trip!

 

[jordanyosh]

Showing your "Peepitude?"

Just showing Punkin how the Peeps man up.

 

[Moonlitdreams82]

So excited to hear about the best day of the trip, but so very sad that it has to end

 

[MeMom]

What a nice way to start my Monday morning, with a walk around World Showcase! Excellent pictures! I'm glad Ray seems to be warming up to WS.

Even at 6:30 a.m., that pizza is looking so good!

Your hat picture is cute. Shame on those dummies in the background for laughing at you!!!

Thanks for showing the shopping goods, too!

World of Disney is an easy place to spend an hour...or hours even! That short walk or ride from Saratoga to DTD is definitely a plus for it.

Again, excellent report. Thanks for brightening my day already.
Another day brightener - Channel 5 is at this moment reporting that gas prices are falling.

 

[declansdad]

Another fun update. Love the pics with the dogs!

 

[Camster0307]

Oh, love your pix around WS - my favorite place! Looks like an absolutely beautiful day and Ray seems hooked!

Can't believe you've never seen Illuminations! (then again, I'VE never seen Wishes!) Anyway, it brings a tear to my eye every time I see it. I love it!

Man, I can't believe you had Sake. I can handle most alcohol but that stuff -- !

 

[Charleston Princess]

your kiddos would love the kaki gori. um........sake is very strong. it's not sweet at all. i feel like i'm shooting something every time i take a sip. but it gets your blood pumping.....that's for sure!

by the way, i just realized i spelled sake "saki" in my updates, which is funny because we have a friend named masaki and i think that's where i got that from!

I think I will pass on the sake then and stick with my fruity drinks -- sake sounds a bit harsh for me.

That's too funny!

be sure to get a couple of amaretto cookies! giada de laurentis actually uses those cookies on her cooking show on food network. ray loves the food network so he remembered that!

Mmmmm, those sound so good -- I am hungry just thinking about them!

my sister is a huge will ferrell fan and she could probably quote every movie he's ever done, especially "anchorman."

One of my friends and I tend to quote "Talladega Nights." Our favorite: "We go together like Chinese food and chocolate pudding."

EPCOT = Every Person Comes Out Tired and/or Trashed

And often both at the same time!

 

[troobabiee7]

Great update Dawn. That picture of all the speed demons cracked me up! I love amaretto cookies! Were they good from the Italy pavilion? They sell them at all the bakeries around here I'm glad you guys had a good time at Epcot. Did it win Ray over? And I love that picture of you two in front of Spaceship Earth; with all the topiaries it came out gorgeous!

Great souvenirs too
