Germany!
Home of the train that he could watch for hours,
the site of my one Kim Possible adventure
and the funniest hat Ive seen.
I had to go in search of this after seeing it on KatMarks TR
And they have fudge! Over at the Carmel shop they had some fudge that had a layer of carmel in the middle.
We took a break over along the water front and shared a piece of super rich, carmel and chocolatey yumminess!
No picture of the fudge
but I give it two thumbs up
would give it more if I had more thumbs. But it was very rich, so I am glad we shared one piece instead of each of us getting one. It was about 3:00 at this point. On our way around the world we stopped at the African outpost and got a diet coke.
While he was in line I noticed a little hidden gem. Of course I have no pictures of it
. But at the outpost in the waiting area its not really a seating area because there are no seats, but there are old coke machines and coolers and stuff lying around. I never paid any attention to them before I figured they were just there as atmosphere to fill in the empty spaces. But at Disney nothing is just there. If you try to open them they make sounds, some of them spray a mist of water. They are a cute little diversion.
In Norway, while he was taking photos, I was in the courtyard near the shop and noticed the CMs across the way having some fun
They were playing a London Bridge type of game at first, then they were doing some tug of war I dont see the rope in the last picture so maybe they had already lost. Danny may have taken some video in between and that could be why there is no picture of that. As much video as he takes we never actually watch any of it. Maybe someday

We completed our World Tour
Throughout our tour we had been talking about supper. We had reservations at 6:40 at Biergarten. Neither of us was really hungry. We reversed our tour and went back through the countries camera free. We stopped at Germany again and looked the menu over. We decided that for the price, we werent really sure that is what we wanted. I am not a big meat eater so would have veered more to the salads and desserts, he wasnt really in the mood for that type of food so we cancelled our ADRs and headed back towards our resort.
On our way back through the International Gateway we ran in to the funniest girl
She had just finished meeting with her fans and was being led backstage. Danny was ahead of her, and didnt see her at first, so I said something to him and he stopped and took that picture. I wound up ahead of them, but turned to look over my shoulder and noticed them, and some other guests coming up behind us, so I veered off to the left (remember I'm on my
scooter) to leave them a bigger space in the middle of the walkway. Well, apparently when I looked over my shoulder I turned the wheel to the right, and then I turned back to the left to get out of the way...
Alice noticed and started chattering about going in a serpentine manner, and that she likes to walk serpentine too, but that sometimes she starts going serpentine and winds up twirling
. She chattered, and twirled the whole way and once she was behind the secret gate you could still hear her chattering away!
Her handler was laughing, and there was an older gentleman CM standing outside the door of the shop thats right by secret gate and he was laughing and told us that that Alice is sure a silly girl, isnt she. It was a fun little walk and you could tell that she really enjoyed her role. Either that or that was the real Alice!
After leaving Epcot, we decided to just hang around our little area. We had a light supper at Beaches and Cream. Danny had, what he says, is the best burgers at Disney. I wasnt in a burger mood. There was an older lady and her son sitting at the table closest to the door when we came in. What she was eating looked yummy. So when our waitress came I asked her what the woman by the door was having. She peeked over there and said it was the chicken noodle soup. So that is what I ordered
This isnt my picture put look how thick and yummy that looks nothing like Campbells!
Supper was at 6 PM
By 6:30 we were back at the Boardwalk gift shop where we picked up a couple more Vinylmations
:, some more diet cokes, and chocolate milk for the room, and a package of microwave popcorn. After we took that up to the room we went over to the Community Hall.
This is where our room location turned out to be a good thing. I was able to leave the scooter in the room, we were just a few doors from the end of the hall where we could take the stairs down and go outside and right across to the pool and community room. We went and looked through the DVDs and got Finding Neverland. We looked around the Hall and noticed the video games and such and debated whether to tell Mark about them for fear that he might never leave if he knew they were there next time were here. Then we went back to the room for the evening.
I threw some more clothes in the laundry, straightened up the kitchen, getting the coffee pot ready for the next morning. He popped the popcorn, loaded the pictures off the cameras onto the computer and we sat there and watched Johnny Depp
. After our movie he went down to the hot tub, and I got hooked up and went to bed and read for awhile. I have to be hooked up for at least 8 hours and we had breakfast reservations the next morning.
Pretty quiet, simple day didnt go on a lot of the attractions, but it was still enjoyable in its way. On our parent only trips we dont worry too much about running and doing it is planned to be a slower pace. We still consider these bonus trips since we used to only do a once a year family trip so anything we do is just a bonus and we dont feel bad about skipping anything.
Oh something I forgot to mention on our trip around the world. Tonight (and the night before) Hanson was playing at the Eat to the Beat Concerts. I think their first set was at 5:30. When we were on our way through (before 3:00) there were already girls lined up. They were mostly wearing Hanson t shirts, and it was all younger girls. At the time, I thought it was kinda cute kinda silly I didnt realize Hanson still had a following. But it was nothing like what I saw a couple days later
..
Glad you reminded us all and I made it back over to check things out. 
And seriously, I am very thankful that I am able to go and enjoy the parks as much as we do - I know after my last "walking" trip I really was in no hurry to come back again - with the scooter - even with the hassles that come with it - just having it allows me to do soooo much more and enjoy so much more!
pull up a chair and stay awhile!
Hmmmmm....let me think about that one again....
The only time we ever have fudge is at Christmas time I have never known him to be hungry for fudge before.
