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

[pas130]

It is really a great pool to swim and you feel like you are not bothering anyone. Quiet too.

Those Monsters Inc. Topiaries Rock!!!!

We felt like we had the pool to ourselves at Pop, that trumped the Hippy Dippy Pool. The lifeguards were super nice too!!

 

[scottny]

Glad you guys enjoyed your tasty treats. I don't think we tried either of those.

I always forget there is a boat in the World Showcase. I've been on it once--think it was the first trip.

They were good.
I know of it but I usually ignore it but we were right there so we figured why not.

I agree.
So true.

Sorry I have been MIA on here and my pre tr and everyones reports. Lots of new things happening and just been busy with that but without further wait here is our next installment.
_____________________________________________________________

Once we got off the boat I took a pic of this flower.


Soon we entered Germany.


Then we were entering here.


My purchase was this, a pineapple on a stick with chocolate and caramel.


Here is looking at some stuff ready to be put out.


I forget what Vinny had but mine was gross. I did not care for it at all. I think if it didn’t have the caramel drizzle it would have been better. Never again I said.

After that we walked across the way and we saw Snow White and her men.












I guess the one in front passed some wind.




Then we moved onto Italy. Here is a video of some performers coming out.

Tonight’s entertainment was.


We did not go.
Looking out as we walked along.


Let’s pose.


Japan.


Coconut? Looks so small down there.


Here is a coconut.


Think I will stop here.

Up next,

Walking but we have a destination

Nice pictures! I love all the topiaries! I would have liked the shrimp. Pineapple with chocolate and caramel does sound I prefer the caramel and marshmallow swirls.

 

[emmysmommy]

Loved your Epcot photos a couple posts back... so many lovely shots. And that white flower that kicked off your last update - AWESOME PHOTO!!!

I've never tried the chocolate/caramel pineapple but personally I'm not a huge chocolate fan so I don't subscribe to the thought that chocolate makes everything better. I suppose you won't order that again!!

That watermelon salad sounds wonderful. Makes me wish that we had pushed our trip back a few days. We would have been there during F&G time.

 

[Aurora1972]

Not surprised the snack wasn't good. I love pineapple but can't quite imagine how it would taste with chocolate and caramel. Nice pics of the Dwarfs!

 

[Lesprivate]

That pineapple sounds gross, my favorite thing at Karmel is the dark chocolate salted caramel.

 

[nowellsl]

Here is a coconut.

Ok, I had to laugh at this I don't know why that little sign was there, unless it was for the tree .... coconuts grow on trees. That picture is of a bell pepper. I know you don't have that many coconut trees in NY, but that was funny

 

[mickeystoontown]

Nice updates! I wonder why Vinny finds the spurting fountains so neat? Must be the kid in him.

I'm sorry but I'm with nowellsl, the pic of the "coconut" was hilarious. That looks like a pepper to me. Definitely not a coconut.

Wel-l-l-l.....I'm not surprised that this was gross, but you do get points for being adventurous!

Lovely flowers!

That watermelon salad looks great!!

I like pineapple & I love chocolate but together?? Eh not so much. I love getting the dark choc. there & usually get something while waiting for Illuminations.

You didn't stay to see Micky Dolenz??

Thanks.
it was not a good combo.

Chocolate does not make everything better but I love all the ingredients but not together. LOL
The salad was delicious.

Live and learn.
Thanks.

Maybe I will try that next time.

no idea but hat was what it said. It is a tree it is growing on.

Thank you. it must be but every trip he is fascinated.
It says it is a coconut. I will email Disney and ask. I will not have false advertising to mess up my trip report. It looked like a baby coocnut like I had in Aruba last month.

Wel-l-l-l.....I'm not surprised that this was gross, but you do get points for being adventurous!

Lovely flowers!

Kathy

Thank you but I could have lived without the points and never tried it. LOL
Thanks.

it was.
No Mickey Dolenz for me.

We then continued on walking slowly towards Future World. We will pass some flowers and get distracted by a slushie and then some more flowers.

Here we go.

Let the flowers continue.


The color is off on this one.


Then I had to stop for a sip of heaven. Okay it more like a few sips but it was heaven.


This is where we sat while we had drinks. I love people watching.




Then we started walking towards United Kingdom.




I love Epcot. It is so gorgeous.




Soon we were back at the Captain Hook topiary.


EEK! A croc.


Then I saw more flowers.


Next we hit this exhibit.




I grow this on Farmville 2. ROTF






I wish I was there enjoying the sound of Test Track going around and people having fun.


I will do that.


Walking along.


Some fancy plant photo shots. LOL




And with that I will stop.

Up next,

Nemo

 

[KathyRN137]

Ahh, the pictures are lovely! I feel as if I just took a quick trip to Epcot!

[Lesprivate]

I love all of the flower photos - so pretty.

 

[nowellsl]

Coconut? Looks so small down there.

Well, that spikey looking plant in the middle of the picture does look like a very young coconut palm tree - I guess that is what the sign is for
I'm pretty sure the picture of the fruit you thought was a coconut was not on that particular plant but the plant right beside it with the leaves kindof intertwined with it.

I will email Disney and ask. I will not have false advertising to mess up my trip report. It looked like a baby coocnut like I had in Aruba last month.

I would love to hear what they say

 

[PrincessAlways]

Your pictures are as beautiful as always!!

I am not bothering for something like that. I have 2 complaints with them already I am awaiting answers on, they will revoke my DVC.

Your pictures are as beautiful as always!!

Thank you.

 

[wiigirl]

Love your pics!

 

[scottny]

Next we decided to go over by nemo.


The wait time. Was it true?


I love this queue but my goodness it is so dark in there. LOL.


I did take a video of the ride. There are dark spots but then you will see the characters and you can hear it all. Click the link to watch.

After our fun ride with Nemo we walked over to see the Manatees.






Here is a quick video of the Manatees eating and swimming.
http://flickr.com/gp/scottenchanted/qLR32f

Looking around the tank.








Then the manatees decided to leave us and go into another tank.


After they left so did we. We then walked over to the large aquarium.




My dolphin pics came out bad.


Then we went to the other tank.






EEK!


Hey you! You are blocking the hidden Mickey.


I am coming to get you.


Then we saw.


Impressive. Too bad the pic is blurry.


A little better pic of a turtle.


After that we walked around some more. We then went into the room where you can take a quiz.


Con't...
