The so-so trip..March madness is at WDW *Updated 7/27* Final thoughts

[JERSEYGIRLINSI]

Butterfly pictures were awesome! The brilliant yellow flower with the butterfly, my fav! I have issues with flying things also, mostly confined spaces with flying things. Pasta at Coral Reef did look really good, I usually order the steak. Not on our list of Adr's this go around, the kids menu for our two doesn't work.

When Butterflies Attack the butterfly garden is so pretty, nice photos.

I don't mind the "almost no words" post at all. Like you said, those pictures speak for themselves. The pictures were beautiful! Poor Vinny! I can totally see him all hunched down looking all around him for flying creatures.

Thank you.
Well he wasn't that bad but he was twitchy.

the meals looked really good.

and thanks for the pics in the garden, i have not seen that many before and it paints a good picture as to what is in there.

They were.
it was fun to see.

I think that was his problem. he was stuck in there.
It was good. The steak there was why we didn't like it the 2nd time. it was grisly.

I love the butterfly tent. The idea of them dead and on the ground, not so much.

Your lunch at Coral Reef looks really yummy! Nice choices! I have been saying for awhile that I'd like to get back there.

I love the butterfly tent. I think its so cool. I do think its rather amusing when people are afraid of butterflies, but we've all got our own phobias.

He has a phobia of anything with wings. Wait till later in the trip. I almost wet myself.

We went through the butterfly tent for just a couple of minutes. Pretty flowers and butterflies - and I purposely didn't look at the ground. I would like my students to see this tent and all of the learning opportunities that are in it.

Beautiful pictures, Scott! We didn't go in the butterfly tent this time. It seemed to be located in a different spot this time?

I'd be very sad to see all of the dead butterflies.

Beautiful pictures of the butterflies & flowers. The flowers are so pretty!! Yeah I don't look down either. I am too busy looking for the live butterflies & taking pictures. Love all the fairies!

Oh the Dole Whip with rum....I think that is the thing I am so anxious to try!! Anxious to hear how you liked it!!

OK I'm with Vinny when it comes to birds but butterflies? They are such beautiful little things. Sadly they don't have long life cycles. The butterfly tent was a favorite stop on the trip for me.

Great photos! I love the Tinkerbell part of Flower & Garden with all the mini fairy houses. Sounds like a delish dinner at Coral Reef as well!

I shouldn't have looked at the ground either but Vinny pointed it out.

It was strange seeing them

You will find out tomorrow.

They have wings.

Still in the area of the tent I took some more pics.


What was I looking at? Here it is.


Then I came upon Tinkerbell.




Periwinkle


Looking out at Epcot. It looked so pretty and I wish I was there now.


Next up we walked through here. They had a few things for kids to do including a playground. At least I think the playground was here.


Here are the tents.


The playground in the back.


They had posters up of the characters from OZ. Finley you can become. So I did.


This was a good movie.


Then we walked out through the OZ arch.


As we walked out of this area I looked to my left and saw a pineapple. I knew what that was.


Dole Whip w/ Spiced Rum.


We went and sat down by the store there and Vinny went into the store to look around as I enjoyed my new treat. A duck kept terrorizing me. I thought it was going to attack me. Thankfully Vinny was inside when that happened.

Review:
I thought it was okay. I am really happy I tried it but for $6.75 it should have been a lot bigger. The rum was all on the bottom and when you get to it the shock of it all at once was like WOW. I do think they should sell it all the time but tweak it a little.

At this point I also received a text from someone I met here on the boards. I was going to have a dismeet. First I had to get there.

We were meeting in France so we walked over and we saw this.


I love when I see the balloon.


It looks so peaceful.


The crowds were not bad.


We got to France and did not see them so Vinny walked over to look at the display.


Then my phone rang. Ring ring.

Up next,

What are you wearing?

I speak like Yoda. I just re-read it and I really do. Oh well.

 

[JERSEYGIRLINSI]

I love flowers, and these pictures truly are beautiful. Awesome pictures.

 

[Lesprivate]

Those EPCOT flowers are so pretty. I love the Dole Whip float but with rum sounds delicious.

 

[tazdev3225]

Totally agree about the Dole Whip. It was good but expensive for the amount they agve you and the rum needed to be incorporated somehow. I didn't get to be Finley. Too hard to take a self portrait.

Your pictures are lovely. I love all the fairies. And the Oz arch - very cool.

The Dole whip and spiced rum is an interesting combo when all the rum is at the bottom. Sounds like F&W prices.

Love all the Epcot/F&G pics! I wish I was there now too.

Love the butterfly house, I have been to F&G twice and they have done a good job with the butterfly houses each time.

Glad you enjoyed your lunch at Coral Reef. I have eaten there twice and liked it both times.

Your pics from EPCOT were really good! It's so pretty there and wish I was there right now!
