Wednesday was MK part 2. Before MK we went to Kona for breakfast - Tonga toast for her and Macadamia pineapple pancakes for me with French press coffee. Then we headed to MK just as they were opening so we headed to Adventureland. Rode Magic carpet and then Jungle cruise, then went to Tiki room for some AC - it was so hot an humid that day. Our first FP was PP so we rode that then we headed to the riverboat. After that was the FP for BTMRR - I love that ride. THen we went to the hub for the street party - I was dancing with Woody! LOL Then we had FP for Pirates right after so we rode that. So I checked to see what was available for FP and almost immediately was a FP for Belle and I had been wanting to see that so we did that. I volunteered for a part - I was a dish. LOL SO I got to take a pic with Belle. I then got another FP for BTMRR After that we rode IASW and started heading to the front of the park to head for the HDDR. That was a fun show. We were amazed that the rain had held off as this was the day the most rain was predicted. After the show we rode the boat back to MK and were going to ride monorail over to GF. Monorail went down. So we took boat over and went to sit in the lobby of the GF for about an hour where it was cool and relaxing. While there, we got notification that BTMRR was down so our FP would have to be used elsewhere. Took boat back to MK and decided to just go meet Mickey instead. Then we watched MSEP and Celebrate the Magic and Wishes - I got some awesome pics with my iPhone 6. Will never need a camera again.
Thursday we headed to EPCOT. It was EMH but we had an ADR at 8:30 so didn't get to ride anything but took our time heading to Akershus. I didn't realize they were still doing the pics with Belle so I got another pic with Belle. Food was good and the princesses were nice - we took pics and I even got a cupcake and card because I was still celebrating my bday from April! LOL Then we headed to the Land pavilion and rode the Living with the land. THen we went to the Figment ride and the Short film festival. We next had FP for TT. That was fun - another ride I had never ridden. Last time I tried, it went down. Then we headed to Spaceship Earth. After that we headed over to WS. Stopped to get the grouper at the food booth on the promenande. THen we went to Mexico and rode the boat ride. We skipped Norway since we had been there that morn and went to China, Went to the Reflections of China and then shopped. I bought an umbrella and shipped to the resort. We start heading on and when we got to the African outpost, the bottom fell out of the sky so we ran under an umbrella table with two other ladies to wait it out. We had the ponchos this time but the shoes got soaked. An so did my backpack so my card I got at Akershus with the princesses siggys got wet and tore.
When it slowed down we headed over to the american pavilion because that was where the only restrooms open on that side of WS were. Started raining again and didn't let up for a while. Got the pork ribs at the food booth and then decided to stick around and see Voices of Liberty and the AMerican Adventure show. Was still raining so we stayed in the portico until it stopped. Then we went back to Germany and stopped at Karamel Kuche for the caramel corn. Then we headed to Japan to look around and finally went back to Italy for VN ressies. I mentioned here last week that we didn't care for the pizza but loved the zeppole. And it was way too noisy in there. We got out about 8:45 and watched Illuminations and headed home
Friday was the last day at Epcot. went straight to Character Spot and were 2nd in line .Then we had FP for MS - we did the green version. rode Ellen's ride then headed over to the Seas. We rode the ride, went to Turtle crush and then headed to the Land for the Behind the Seeds tour. That was really interesting. After that we headed to WS to snack. We stopped at the British booth for the salad and lemon scone, then went to France for the Duck, onion tart and macaron. THat was my favorite until I got the shrimp and grits. Then I couldn't decide. LOL Rain clouds were moving in again so we started heading back to the front. We stopped at the other booths on the promenade and tried the pork tenderloin and I got the violet lemonade and my cowoker got the pineapple soft serve with rum. THen we headed back to the hotel to get our luggage and a cab over the the Rosen Shingle Creek for the conference we were attending.
So they took us to Harry Potter Hogsmeade on Sat nite. Had butterbeer which is way too sweet for me. I was not impressed with IOA. They are not as accomodating as Disney is for larger people. I couldn't ride sthe Forbidden journey ride as the harness wouldn't go over me. But I can say I tried it and wont be back - I am sticking to Disney.
So that's my tripin a nutshell. Had a great time and wish the stuff opening this weekend had been available but I still had a blast, in spite of the rain too. LOL
We stopped by Goofy Candy company to make our own rice krispy treats before we headed back to the room.
