Snow White Does the Creep on the Trip that Almost Wasn't A Dec 11/Jan 12 TR 7/24 NEW

[saintstickets]

I'm having update withdrawals.

Ditto!!

 

[therussells08]

I'm so happy that you are thrilled right now what with John coming home and your trip only 2 weeks away! HOW EXCITING! Haha, I love how there's always a Joni TR to look forward to! I love all of 'em, but I'm also very eager to know what new way you will be writing the next one.

HAHA, love how you creeped on the terra cotta warriors. What's really cool is that now they have an exhibit at Discovery Times Square in NYC! It's a small museum that changes it's exhibits so you can see the traveling artifacts (ex. on class trips, we've gone to see the King Tut exhibit and then this past year, we saw the Dead Sea Scrolls). I'm interested in seeing the warriors, but I'm very used to going on the trips and NOT paying, haha. The tickets are $27 for such a brief experience ALTHOUGH I'd actually be able to read everything as opposed to making sure my kids behave!

Funny, I was just recently talking about Siddhartha with my mom because my younger brother is starting HS in September, and I was mentioning all the books I had to read in the Scholars Academy (the high honors program that my mom and I are stressed about Matt staying in because you have to maintain a certain average). I've said it before, but I wish I could sit in your classes!!!

Thank you! It has definitely been a very exciting week! I can't believe we down to 9 days now! I hope you guys like my next TR! Haha, it's so funny that I haven't even taken the trip yet and I'm already thinking about writing my TR!

Wow, you're so lucky that you get to see all those traveling exhibits! I can understand the desire to get in free, but I also TOTALLY understand why you would probably enjoy it more sans kids! Haha, field trips aren't really field trips for teachers.

I love teaching Siddhartha! I teach it with a more modern supplement, Into the Wild. They have that similar theme of a personal journey and search for enlightenment. I would love to sit in your class too! I would love to see how you add a Disney touch when you can!

Yay for 2 weeks and John coming home!!! That's going to be so exciting!

Your report isn't getting boring! Your TRs are some of my favorites

Haha! Love the creeping on the statues...

I love the China giftshop... there's so much meaning behind everything they sell, it's so interesting to just read everything they have!

Thank you! It's so nice having him home!

Aww thank you! I'm glad you feel that way!

Haha what can I say? I'm a creep!

Yeah that giftshop is amazing! I would love to spend hours in there!

Well I have been gone for a bit and so much has happened!
First of all nice new car and happy John coming home! Just think how much you will save in gas on the drive to Disney!

Really have enjoyed all of the TR news and I have to say I have never seen the the terra cotta warriors either (not in dozens of Epcot trips!) Thanks for sharing - I will definitely check them out when we are down there in August.

I hope you are enjoying you summer - I know the end of the school year was just a whirlwind for me - this is day four of my first five days off in a very long time --- other than writing my grad school papers it has been nice a relaxing

Looking forward to the next TR

Thank you! I'm really excited about taking the new car to Disney...it really will save some money! Having John home is so nice!

I hope you get to see the terra cotta soldiers in August! They're really cool!

Thank you! I really am enjoying it. I just got back from a three day work conference, but now I'm back to relaxing until the end of July! The end of the year is always crazy! I'm glad you are able to relax!

I'm so excited for you that you get to see John!! Since you'll be out of town, does that mean no update until you get back? I'll try to wait that long. Sigh.

OMG I cannot wait for your INSANE TR. I really can't. AHHHH! You know what TR will be insane as well? (You do... you totally do. )

Yes Joni. I knew all about the Temple of Heaven... because I just read about it in your update.

HAHAHAH you creeped on the tomb warriors. Classic. I'm so glad Larry is happy with his line of work! GET IT? LINE? They're in LINES.

I'm glad you and Buddha are so happy together.

You know, the way you feel about China is the way I feel about World Showcase as a whole. For whatever reason it's the most unexplored part of Disney for me. We're making a point to do it right this time and I'm so excited!

I'm sorry I haven't updated! I'm going to write a PTR update in a little bit, and then I PROMISE a TR update!

I totally know what TR you are talking about...and yes, it will be. The world will not be able to handle it!

Hahaha I'm so glad you knew about it. From my update.

I love your pun! Larry loved it too! Look- he's still smiling!

We are quite happy together. He's just a peaceful guy.

Looking back I realize I made it sound like China is my only unexplored country in the WS, but girl I am right there with you. I feel like I have not even seen 10% of what that place has to offer. Thank goodness I'll be back there in NINE FREAKING DAYS.

 

[therussells08]

Haha, to flash or not to flash....that is the question.

I love the China pavilion. I can spend so much time just in the store alone. And I can never make it out of there empty handed.

Isn't it though? This is what happens when I get a new camera.

Seriously, it's gorgeous! All of the pavilions are amazing!

Wow, I can't believe this trip report is almost done already! It feels like my Christmas trip will NEVER be finished. Oh well.

This trip report was NOT boring. Your trip reports are ALWAYS amazing!!! I always look forward to your updates! I'm really excited to read your next one... it sounds like you've got a good idea formulating in your head!

LOL don't worry - I don't think I have ever watched Reflections of China, O Canada, Impressions de France, etc. I always get to them, and I'm like... eh not today. I just never feel like using up my time to see them! I probably should though just to have the experience.

I never noticed that temple! Very cool!

What subjects do you teach? I always forget to ask you that. Social Studies?

Yeah this has definitely been one of my shorter TRs! I'm hoping to make my next one a lot longer since I'll be there 10 days! I love your Christmas TR, and I'm glad it's long because I don't want it to end!

Aww thank you so much! I'm so glad you guys haven't gotten bored with it. It was a great trip, but it was all so rushed I think I just wasn't adequately prepared!

Haha I'm the exact same way with all those shows! Maybe someday...but probably not!

It was really neat!

I teach English, grades 9 and 10, and creative writing! I also teach this thing called seminar, which is like an academic support class!

That's ok about not liking Creme Brule its's on of those things that not everyone likes. It just seams sometimes that on the Dis every tme anyone has a desert at Le Celier it is always the chocolate mouse, which I'm sure is great, I will usually go for anything chocolate. One of the reasons I tried the Maple Creme Brule in the first place is because it has been on the menu as long as the Cheddar Cheese soup all the way back to when it was a Cafeteria style restaurant, plus how can you go wrong with maple syrup.

I had no idea that the maple creme brule had been on the menu that long! My DH seems to like it, so I will probably encourage him to try that when we eat there!

You're right about the maple syrup thing...I'm like Buddy the Elf when it comes to that stuff!

I hope that this "disboard favorite" is SCHOOL BREAD!!!!!

It just might be...

Thanks for sharing that about china! My son will be so excited to see those figures and we would have missed it during our Sept trip!

You're welcome! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I hope you and your son enjoy the soldiers in September!

 

[therussells08]

For some reason we have NEVER made it into China OR Japan....like, not at all. We have always just walked by. I WILL remedy that this time...we are staying at the Beach Club too, in a month, which should make it easy to spend extra time exploring World Showcase!

We are really bad about skipping over some countries too. I think we are too drawn in by the delicious treats in Germany! That's so cool that you're staying at the BC too! Hopefully we will both use our time staying there to explore the WS a lot more!

2 things... 1) loving your trip report so far, and 2) I'm on twitter, too and I like to find other Dis-er's over there! You can find me at @beachphotog!

Now, off to read the rest of your report!

Thank you! I'm so glad you're enjoying it! I would love to follow you on Twitter! I am going to go check it out in just a bit!

Thanks for reading!

Yay so glad John is back from Texas and your trip is SO close! I can't wait for your next TR, and this new way of writing it you're going to try...I didn't know there were other ways of writing a TR, so I'm intrigued!

We never spend a lot of time in China either! We did go inside to look at those soldiers, but I get bored really quickly and Brandon wants to read every little sign about every little thing. I do want to see the movie, though, we always skip it!

Ummm...something tells me that soldier's name wasn't Larry!

I'm so excited that you are staying at the Beach Club, you are going to love being so close to Epcot!

Thank you! I'm so happy! My next TR won't be too different, I just have a fun idea for spicing it up a little...I'm being very cryptic, haha!

Hahaha John is like that about reading everything too. He takes SO LONG in Animal Kingdom looking at all those animals!

You're probaby right!

I'm having update withdrawals.

I'm sorry! I'm getting ready to post, I promise!

Yayyyy! I'm so excited for the next TR! But I'm holding faithful to this one too. And never be sorry for excitement!


Ok, Joni. I'm starting to get creeped out. I just bought that shirt you have on in those China pictures. I think we might have the same WDW wardrobe.

Thank you! And thank you again for sticking with me on this one too!

HAHA that's so funny! We have very similar tastes! Great minds think alike!

Ditto!!

I'm going to write one right now, I promise!

 

[therussells08]

IT’S SINGLE DIGIT DANCE TIME!
(Read that in a really excited voice, to the tune of “It’s Peanut Butter Jelly Time”)

YOU GUYS. IN NINE DAYS I WILL BE IN DISNEY WORLD.

I LEAVE FOR DISNEY WORLD A WEEK FROM TOMORROW.

I JUST FEEL LIKE THE CAPS LOCK IS VERY NECESSARY RIGHT NOW.

Okay. I’m calm now. I just can’t believe we are really almost there! This is so amazing, but I’ve still got so much to do! I am going to try to post another PTR update next week sometime with some packing stuff. I have finally managed to sort out all of my pins that I will be trading, which was a pretty big job since I have hundreds. I am obsessed.

I really don’t have any trip related news, other than the fact that we’re nine days away. I just wanted to let you know. So, how about a little life update?

Yesterday was John’s and my four year wedding anniversary! I can’t believe it’s already been four years! That’s so crazy, because time has gone by so fast, but at the same time I can’t imagine my life without him. I’m a lucky girl, that’s for sure!

To celebrate, on Wednesday evening we had a date night. Since I am a good DISer, I took pictures for you guys! They’re not Disney related (well, sort of) but I thought you’d like to see what we did!

First, we went to PF Chang’s for dinner! THIS PLACE IS SO GOOD. We were very happy to be on a date!

And I took food pics! Yippee!

For an appetizer, we got pork dumplings!

They were really yummy, and piping hot!

For my entree, I ordered the caramel mango chicken.

It was amazing! It was really spicy, and the tomatoes and mango chunks were perfect!

John went with the Asian grilled Norwegian salmon.

He said it was the best fish he’s had in a long time!

We decided to share a dessert, and got the banana spring rolls.

AHHH. This was pretty much the best non-Disney dessert I’ve had in a long time. We both loved it!

After our dinner we went to see Brave! I had been dying to see this, and having to wait almost a week was agony! Overall we both really enjoyed it (of course)! I still love Tangled more, but John said Brave was one of the best Disney movies he’s seen in a really long time. He wants to see it again!

Well, that’s really all I have to share right now. I’m going to post this and go write a TR update since I’ve left you all hanging for so long! Thanks for reading!

 

[therussells08]

Don’t miss the PTR update I posted right before this post! We are celebrating the SINGLE DIGIT mark for our upcoming trip!

When I left off, John and I had just finished exploring the China pavilion in the WS. I am so glad we had the opportunity to check it out in greater detail, but now we just need to do that with ALL the countries in the WS. I feel like we miss so much there!

We moved on and decided to check out Norway! John really loves Vikings, and I really enjoy food, so we both wanted to make a stop here.

I was on a mission...

I was finally taking my good friend Kristen’s (Disneyfreak616) advice, and trying SCHOOLBREAD!

While we were waiting to pay, there was an older couple in front of us who ordered this thing called a Viking Coffee. The CM handed it to the woman and she started talking about how it is her favorite drink in all of Disney and she gets it every trip. I’m all about trying other people’s favorite stuff (see above) so I asked her about it. She was super sweet, and she was like “Aww honey, it’s really tasty, but it has alcohol in it. I’m afraid you can’t order it; you’re too young.”



THANK YOU, LADY. I love it when people think I’m younger than I am. LOVE IT. I didn’t have the heart to tell her I was three years past the legal drinking age, so I just thanked her and turned back to John. I’m not a big fan of alcoholic coffee beverages, but John is so he decided to order one. He said it was really good!

I took my schoolbread with me with the intention of eating it later, but then John asked to go in the Stave church and that plan totally changed. So while he walked around taking pictures of the Viking dudes, I stuffed my face with schoolbread. It was AMAZING. I am all about stuffed pastries, and the cream in the middle of the schoolbread was fantastic. That coupled with the coconut on top and the spice in the bread itself...oh my. Kristen, thank you for exposing me to this amazing treat. No, really...THANK YOU.

Here’s the pictures John took of the Vikings:

This fella looks innocent enough. He just wants a refill.

Him...not so much.

This guy’s like, “Hmm..dirt.”

I don’t think it’s physically possible for me to care less about this Viking exhibit, but John likes it so I took one for the team.

Before long I had to get out of there. That place smells funny (not in a good way) and I was having flashbacks to being forced to read the INCREDIBLY boring Vinland Sagas in college, so we left the Stave church.

We were kind of on a roll with this whole pavilion exploration thing, so next we headed to Japan!

In Bijutsu-kan they had this exhibit called “Spirited Beasts: From Ancient Stories To Anime Stars”. It was all about mythological Japanese creatures being put into pop culture. It was pretty interesting, and John really liked it because he loves Japanese stuff.

Uh oh...a statue picture. You know what THAT means.

I’m not going to pretend to understand what I was looking at, lest I sound completely ignorant, so I’ll just describe it in my words. What you saw above was the half bird/half ninja. He was pretty cool.

Here we have a picture of a monkey shaking a stick at a rabbit.

There’s a lot going on this picture...including a weird creature that looks like a cross between a troll and Santa Claus.

And finally, a devil with an afro who appears to be either running away from home or getting ready for a day at the beach.

John really enjoyed this exhibit, and I really enjoyed it too...for the first half hour we spent in there. Before long I was being super obnoxious, and saying “Can we leeeeave nowwwww...” until he finally agreed to move on.

Up next: Our final night in Disney! Stay tuned!

 

[marDgreen88]

Don't apologize for not updating... I know you've been busy this week! I just love your updates that much! And apparently I'm pretty obnoxious.

I cannot believe you're leaving so soon! I mean... all these trip are coming up so fast! IT'S ALL SO EXCITING. By the way, it's really funny thinking about the dwarfs dancing to Peanut Butter Jelly Time.

Awww... happy belated anniversary! I wasn't sure when the exact date was, so yay! I'm so glad yall had such a great time. YAY BRAVE! I already saw it again hahaha.

Hahahaha... hooray for looking young! I love when people think I look younger than I am too, but let's face it, that never really happens. Sigh.

Um... hey vikings. Yall aren't creepy or anything. HAHAHAHA. Oh this update. I'd say he was going for the beach day. The hat is to protect his devilish skin from the harmful rays, and the shoes are elevated so that the sand won't burn his feet.

 

[CAStevens218]

Oh my goodness, you had me cracking up with your descriptions of the Japaneses artwork! Seriously, I am sitting in my bed laughing out loud! My dogs think I am crazy...

Your update got me excited to explore World Showcase! AND to have school bread! I usually get the almond pretzel in Norway, but I might have to branch out!

 

[RachelNinja]

Haha, how funny that the lady was saying you were too young to drink that alcoholic drink! Howard and I went to a condo meeting two night's ago (we ended up not staying because the stuff didn't pertain to us because it was mainly owners, and we're renting from my aunt/uncle), and I was like, "Make sure you put on your wedding ring. I don't want people to think we're like, teenagers just living together." We felt SO out of place because we were clearly much younger than everyone else to begin with, but then we just LOOK younger too (especially with my Mickey and Minnie t-shirt ... haha).

We looked at the exhibit in Japan in April, but I couldn't stay in there for very long because I was SCARED of all those things! I think the weird creatures are kinda creepy. Maybe I've watched too many weird movies like Spirited Away, so I kept imagining all those creatures coming alive.

 

[dtr_angel]

Loving all the updates!! I can't believe how soon your next trip is. I've been counting down with you because the day you leave for your trip the baby will be full term so I can start saying "any day now" when people ask when I am due LOL. Congratulations on your 4 year anniversary!! We just celebrated 4 years in May Ooh school bread, now I need some!! That is one of my favorite snacks in all of Disney. I am 27, and I get confused for a teenager all the time. It used to bother me but now I just laugh and enjoy it while I can. Haters gonna hate EEK 9 days!!!! So excited for another TR!! It will be my summer Disney fix, I still have 188 days until my next trip.

 

[saintstickets]

IT’S SINGLE DIGIT DANCE TIME!
YOU GUYS. IN NINE DAYS I WILL BE IN DISNEY WORLD.

I LEAVE FOR DISNEY WORLD A WEEK FROM TOMORROW.

I'm jealous!! But on the bright side...we get to read another fantastic TR when you return...don't we? We WILL get another TR, WON'T WE?!?

Yesterday was John’s and my four year wedding anniversary! I can’t believe it’s already been four years! That’s so crazy, because time has gone by so fast, but at the same time I can’t imagine my life without him. I’m a lucky girl, that’s for sure!

CONGRATULATIONS!!! I think he's a pretty lucky guy too.

We decided to share a dessert, and got the banana spring rolls.

That is a seriously good looking dessert!

 

[smile4stamps]

I have to say I think we skipped over most of the world showcase pavilions! Hoping to catch more of them this trip!

The schoolbread sounds so good! If I have any room in my tummy I will try it in October!!

 

[emma212010]

Oh my, I am behind!!!!!!! Well, first of all....

OMGYOURTRIPISSOCLOSE!




That is so exciting!! I didn't get to try school bread this trip! We didn't spend as much time in Epcot as I wanted to, but it was a short trip, so we had to make the best out of it! I can't wait to start my TR!

Congratulations on four years! That's awesome! Your dinner looked very yummy! For some reason I have developed a sad obsession with pork dumplings recently- Who knows!

Oh, I want to see Brave so badly!! I hope I can go this weekend!!!

It's too bad your TR is wrapping up, but it's just in time for your next trip! How exciting!!! I can't wait to hear all about it!

 

[beachmama3]

I have to say I think we skipped over most of the world showcase pavilions! Hoping to catch more of them this trip!

The schoolbread sounds so good! If I have any room in my tummy I will try it in October!!

Ditto to both of these comments! I feel like we must have missed a lot of world showcase when we were there. Totally taking my boys to see the Vikings!

Also, totally followed your lead, Joni- I took advantage of the discounted room rates and booked three extra days. We will be in Disney for eleven whole days and I CAN NOT WAIT.

Have fun next week!

 

[JessicaFaye508]

Holy Cow Joni you're going SO SOON!!!! I'm so excited for you!

hahaha don't worry about having hundreds of pins. I do it. It's sick. But not really.

KRISTEN AND I GO TO PF CHANGS ALL THE TIME. We crack up every time they mix the sauces. I don't know why the heck it's so funny!!

Those banana spring rolls are INCREDIBLE. Nom I want some.

I agree with your opinion of brave Loved it... but it's not tangled.

AHH I miss schoolbread. I haven't eaten it in so long! I think I was too full on my last couple trips.

Hmmm Dirt. Frump.

HAHAHA your descriptions are making me chuckle.

 

[Disneyfreak616]

Ahhh this update!!!! I knew by the title that school bread would be involved. YAY Joni I'm so glad you loved it!! It's seriously my favorite food in the universe. I'm OBSESSED. You are ever so welcome.

P.S. Jess and I LOVE P.F. Changs!!! We seriously go there all the time! We love when they mix the sauce at your table...FART SHOES. It's so awkward. We love the lo mein too! YUM. I freaking LOVE those spring rolls. Ahh food.

 

[PrincessBB]

Hey Joni!

I have been lurking your TRs for quite some time! I love them!

Anyway, I decided to finally post to give you a heads up about the new Brave display in Epcot (I didn't get a picture...sorry!) They have movie-inspired games set up, and it looked like a lot of fun! Last time we were there, we didn't play them because we hadn't seen Brave yet, but on our upcoming trip, we'll definitely be playing them. Since John loved the movie so much, I figured you might want to check it out. It's set up near the UK in the WS.

 

[Nermel9]

AHHH I missed the single digit dance! Well, I'll do it now then, all by myself...



Can't believe your trip is so close, I'm so jealous!

I just saw Brave too! I actually liked it a lot, I wasn't expecting to like it as much as I did, it surprised me! But it is definitely not as good as Tangled, no way! That reminds me, it's been a couple of weeks since I've watched Tangled, I'm going to have to fix that soon...I watch Toy Story 3 and Tangled SO much it's ridiculous, I'm surprised I don't have them memorized by now!



Glad you finally got to try schoolbread! I tried in October...or was it December? I can't remember, but I liked it, I just thought I would love it and I didn't. I feel like I got a bad batch of it or something, I should give it another try!

Yay for more World Showcase exploring! We never look at the Viking stuff, we just head straight to Maelstrom and then hang out in that store for like, an hour, because it smells so good in there!

I try to look at the artwork and everything in Japan, but again...I'm more interested in the shop, everything is so pretty in there!

 

[therussells08]

Don't apologize for not updating... I know you've been busy this week! I just love your updates that much! And apparently I'm pretty obnoxious.

I cannot believe you're leaving so soon! I mean... all these trip are coming up so fast! IT'S ALL SO EXCITING. By the way, it's really funny thinking about the dwarfs dancing to Peanut Butter Jelly Time.

Awww... happy belated anniversary! I wasn't sure when the exact date was, so yay! I'm so glad yall had such a great time. YAY BRAVE! I already saw it again hahaha.

Hahahaha... hooray for looking young! I love when people think I look younger than I am too, but let's face it, that never really happens. Sigh.

Um... hey vikings. Yall aren't creepy or anything. HAHAHAHA. Oh this update. I'd say he was going for the beach day. The hat is to protect his devilish skin from the harmful rays, and the shoes are elevated so that the sand won't burn his feet.

I'm so glad you love my updates that much! That's exactly how I feel about yours! And you are NOT obnoxious! I love your enthusiasm!

I know, I feel like so many of us have trips that are right around the same time! It's so exciting! I mean, we leave in FOUR DAYS! This is just insane!

Thank you! We had a great day. Brave was awesome- I totally support seeing it twice!

I get so excited when someone thinks I'm younger than I am. Last year one of our new parents at the school where I teach thought I was an incoming freshman. That pretty much made my LIFE, although I really can't see where anyone would mistake me for a fourteen year old. That seems a bit extreme!

Those vikings are justs ridiculous. I mean, come on guys. You look like you belong in some Myrtle Beach wax museum or something. I like your analysis of the Japanese devil creature...I think you're right. It's a beach day for sure.

Oh my goodness, you had me cracking up with your descriptions of the Japaneses artwork! Seriously, I am sitting in my bed laughing out loud! My dogs think I am crazy...

Your update got me excited to explore World Showcase! AND to have school bread! I usually get the almond pretzel in Norway, but I might have to branch out!

Haha thank you! I'm glad I made you laugh!

I love exploring the WS! It doesn't matter how long I spend there, I always discover something new!

Yes!! Schoolbread is definitely worth branching out for! It's amazing!

Haha, how funny that the lady was saying you were too young to drink that alcoholic drink! Howard and I went to a condo meeting two night's ago (we ended up not staying because the stuff didn't pertain to us because it was mainly owners, and we're renting from my aunt/uncle), and I was like, "Make sure you put on your wedding ring.

Haha that's so funny! That's exactly how John and I are! I bet you have the same problem as me too, which is a lot of parents telling you that you don't look old enough to be a teacher! That happens to me constantly!

I completely see where you're coming from- those things are kind of freaky!

Loving all the updates!! I can't believe how soon your next trip is. I've been counting down with you because the day you leave for your trip the baby will be full term so I can start saying "any day now" when people ask when I am due LOL. Congratulations on your 4 year anniversary!! We just celebrated 4 years in May Ooh school bread, now I need some!! That is one of my favorite snacks in all of Disney.

It will be my summer Disney fix, I still have 188 days until my next trip.

Thank you so much! I know, I seriously can't believe our trip is so close! We are leaving in FOUR days! It's crazy!

That's so exciting that your baby will be full term when we leave! Congratulations!

How cool! Happy four year anniversary to you (even though it's a little late)!

Schoolbread is amazing! It's definitely one of my favorites now too!

Haha you're right, I should probably enjoy it while it lasts! I'll be missing those days before too long!

I hope my next TR can help pass the time until your trip!

 

[therussells08]

I'm jealous!! But on the bright side...we get to read another fantastic TR when you return...don't we? We WILL get another TR, WON'T WE?!?


CONGRATULATIONS!!! I think he's a pretty lucky guy too.


That is a seriously good looking dessert!

Don't worry, you will DEFINITELY get another TR! I am so excited about writing this one, and I haven't even taken the trip yet!

Aww thanks! I guess we're both pretty lucky!

It is SO GOOD! Have you had PF Chang's? It's awesome!

I have to say I think we skipped over most of the world showcase pavilions! Hoping to catch more of them this trip!

The schoolbread sounds so good! If I have any room in my tummy I will try it in October!!

We usually skip them too! I've gotten to where I spend more and more time in them now though!

It is amazing! I highly recommend it!

Oh my, I am behind!!!!!!! Well, first of all....

OMGYOURTRIPISSOCLOSE!




That is so exciting!! I didn't get to try school bread this trip! We didn't spend as much time in Epcot as I wanted to, but it was a short trip, so we had to make the best out of it! I can't wait to start my TR!

I seriously can't believe how close it is! We leave in FOUR DAYS!

I am so excited to read your TR! Don't worry, there's always your next trip for some schoolbread!

Thank you so much! Pork dumplings are so good!

I hope you get to see it soon- it's awesome!

Yeah, I'm actually pretty excited to be done with this one so I can focus all my attention on my new one!

Ditto to both of these comments! I feel like we must have missed a lot of world showcase when we were there. Totally taking my boys to see the Vikings!

Also, totally followed your lead, Joni- I took advantage of the discounted room rates and booked three extra days. We will be in Disney for eleven whole days and I CAN NOT WAIT.

Have fun next week!

There's always so much to see in the WS! I bet your boys would love those vikings!

YAY! That's awesome! Congratulations!!
