We got a late start today (unintentional), so we were practically running to get to our PS at the Princess Storybook Breakfast by 10:20 (we didn't make it 
). When we arrived, the hostess told us that most of the Princesses had left, but she would seat us and send over the ones that were left. We were just relieved to sit and relax after our stressful ordeal, and our CM/waitress came over almost immediately with our fruit and pastry. We had just started eating, when Belle came over to say hello, that she had to go, but she hoped we would visit her in France later.
Our hot food skillet (sausage, bacon, scrambled eggs, waffles and cheesy potatoes) arrived and we "dug in". Everything tasted very good, and I'm sure we looked like we hadn't eaten in days, as we finished off every bite!
As we finished, we had visits from Jasmine, Aurora, Mulan and Snow White. They were all very nice, with Snow White endearing herself to me especially!
After we finished our meal, we were off to Maelstrom! We had a quick walk on and a great ride. After, we went through the shop to purchase our PassPorts, took our picture with the giant troll and continue our tour! We backtracked to Mexico, so we could get our PassPort filled in there, and ride El Rio Del Tiempo - where there was no wait. We were able to listen to Mariachi Cobre as we browsed and stopped to take a picture in front of the pyramid.
From Mexico, we moved on to China and looked through the exhibits, updated our PassPorts with the help of a very sweet CM, and met up with Mulan where we took a picture with the Temple in the background (fortunately, because when I got my pictures back, I discovered that I didn't take a picture with her at breakfast!).
We moved on to Germany after passing through The Outpost, where we ... updated our PassPorts! We also searched for a German wine that I like, saw Dopey and took a picture with St. George. Next we were on to Italy in time to watch Masquerade, before updating our PassPorts.
We timed our visit to American Adventure perfectly, as we were able to catch American Vybe and the American Adventure Show, where we had a very enjoyable time before going to again update our PassPorts and get a picture.
Next on our tour was Japan, where we just caught the very end of Miyuki, got our PassPorts updated by an especially nice CM and took a picture in front of the pagoda. We moved on to Morocco, where we met up with Jasmine with Aladdin, updated our PassPorts and decided to take a boat across the lagoon.
I attempted to get fp for Test Track, only to find they were all given out for the day, and because we didn't want to spend an hour in line right then, we headed toward Honey, I Shrunk the Audience. Afterwards, we walked down to The Living Seas, made a PS for The Coral Reef, and walked over to The Land. We just had time to see The Circle of Life before our PS time, so we enjoyed the show and went back to the Coral Reef.
We had great seats for dinner, and this was one of my youngest's favorite meals because he loved identifying the various fish and enjoyed watching the scuba divers. On the recommendation of Sherry (our CM) I ordered the Mahi and thought it was very good.
After leaving The Living Seas, we decided to head back to World Showcase to finish visiting the rest of the world. We started in Canada, with our PassPort update, pictures, checking out the Roots merchandise and caught the end of Off Kilter performing, before moving on to the UK.
We had a delightful time in UK, first by hearing The British Invasion, updating our PassPorts (were we saw Pooh and Eeyore), and shopping. Before we left the area (and after the crowds cleared out from watching The British Invasion) we let the boys run through the maze.
We moved on to France, where we again took pictures, updated our PassPorts, met up with the Beast and shopped. Upon leaving France, we decided it was time to find our seats for IllumiNations. We headed toward American Adventure/Italy and found a wonderful spot with a few others who had staked out their spots early. While dh and youngest son sat, oldest son and I took to the streets.
We headed toward Norway, were I bought some Ringes and Sprites. From there, we went back to our spot, I traded sons and the youngest and I headed toward Canada. Here we had a wonderful visit with the CM selling BeaverTails as we picked up a variety of these for snacking on. Back to our seats, and I sat down while dh ran errands with the boys. By the time they returned, it was time to get ready to enjoy the show - and enjoy it we did! We had a wonderful view! We walked out to our bus exhausted but happy with our day.
