The Tale of the Grow Walk .Hunh?

Sorry I have been MIA! Just super busy, but I am going to try and update now before I have to takcle my next big task today!

We checked out the Cool Wash area next.





It was already proving to be a VERY hot day.

We moved on and found the Cars topiary area, so we wandered around there for a bit.



















Such a cute area…but I was fighting the sun as I took the pictures.







I often go in March and I always love all the flowers everywhere in Epcot.



Claire is obsessed with Spaceship Earth, so we had to go up and take a look at the wait time.



The wait was too long, but we did stop for some photopass pictures.



Pay no attention to the hoochy momma shorts I wore. Bad choice. I have gained more weight over the past year and for some reason I thought I would be fine in some of the shorts I packed…..I was wrong!

Next stop was the Seas with Nemo.







It’s not a good sign when the line is backed up to the lighthouse.



Luckily it is a fast loader and we didn’t have to wait too long…but still longer than I would’ve liked, but Claire really likes this ride.















This area always plays with my eyes to much.









After we got off we decided to explore the area a little bit. It really has been a long time since we have taken a look around in here.

















He’s hansom!

Great pictures! I am not sure if you were in Epcot 3/22 or 3/23, but I totally looked for myself in the background (but didn't see me haha). We were there 3/23. I remember 3/23 being a really hot day, but then later in the week we wore jackets at some points of the day. It turned out to be a beautiful week.

It was the 22nd. It was hot this day too! And yes later in the week it did cool off, but the first couple of days was super hot!

Oh Jen, you hoochy mama you! Just kiddin! Do like I do when I see pictures of my legs that I don't like, cover them up with the Disney logos on the Memory Maker. Seriously, though, you looked fine.

You always have such great pictures even when you say you were fighting the sun or when you are on a dark ride. Your aquarium pictures are great too.

Thats exactly what I was trying to do with them.

I can't stand how my knees always look like big rolls of skin so I find the biggest logo that I can find and stick it over them. Girls gotta do what a girls gotta do.

The Cars topiary area is really cool - but I can see the heat getting to be too much to want to linger ...

... that is one good thing about the Nemo ride queue - it is always so cool there!

Yes it was nice in there!!! always a good spot on a hot day!

I love the car topiaries. I love the photos from The Seas With Nemo And Friends. This so reminds me of when we did the Seas Aqua tour and were actually allowed to swim in the aquarium.

Wow Jen you got some really great pictures on the Nemo ride. Most photos I see on that ride are always blurry. Great job!

Also, your shorts looked just fine! Don't put yourself down like that Jen! It takes all different kinds of people to rule this world and so what if you put on a little weight over the past year? You still look faboo and just remember that we all have flaws even the super skinny. I think the photo's of you and Claire in front of Spaceship Earth came out really nice and I just love the butterfly border you put on them. Super cute!

 

[lauren_elizabeth]

Love the pictures of the Cars area! That's too cute!

Nemo is always a fun ride It's always a plus that the line moves pretty fast, so even if the line is backed up, you're still on fairly quickly.

And girl please, you looked fine! I hate looking at pictures of myself and I do the exact same thing that you ladies were talking about with using logos, etc to cover certain areas up.

 

[KatMark]

I loved that Cars topiary area.

I gues without kids that we always forget or just ignore that Club Cool is there.

Great photopass pictures in front of the ball...those turned out really great.

I love Nemo too. Okay, where downstairs to you see the manatees? I know where they are upstairs, and haven't found them downstairs (or we just don't roam around there enough).

Finally caught up again

Great pics of POFQ

I'm still laughing at:

1-You having strawberry shortcake for breakfast

2-"Claire lied!"

3- That you fought with forks over the cake

So sorry you had so many issues with MM+ That app really does suck!

Glad you had Deb as a back up though She totally rocks!

I think that one sounds so neat to do too!

thanks. I forget which lens I used there without looking up the info, but it might have been the one that does better in low light.

Thanks. I am working at losing, but it is working at staying on me.

I was happy that at least the line moved fast, but was shocked there was one. But I did find out inside they hadn't used all the queue rows either, which was a plus.

Gosh, I can't even remember now, and I don't even think I have ever gone to see them before this trip. I know we went upstairs and looked at them later in the day too. If i remember right though, it was kind of a hidden area.

Well at least if I asked you if you want to share...you would be honest and say you wanted more than a bite. It was the breakfast of champions!!!

I just love F&G. It's such an awesome time to visit!

Great PP pics! Your shorts are fine, but I know that feeling when you try on something and it just doesn't fit like it used to. That's never a fun feeling, especially when you are on vacation.

Nice Nemo pics! I still have to edit my May pics so now I'm curious to see what I got.

I do love that time of year as well. It is so pretty at Epcot!
I am really trying to lose at least a few pounds before heading down again, but of course I won't be there that long anyways. I do however have something planned in Sept that I would like to lose weight for even more!

We saw a few Seahorses and I wanted to try to get some shots of them, but so did everyone else apparently as it was very crowded around the area. There was a family there that would just not move. I was getting annoyed as the mom was holding the baby with her chest falling out of her top and a skirt so short her rear could practically be seen….and she kept going on and on to this baby about the seahorse…which he had no clue or interest in. And as soon as I would make to move around her she would move as well. And I sure didn’t want to knock her because I was sure she will spill out of her outfit at any moment.





Those were the best I could get, even though we did stand there for quite some time.



We moved on and I tried to convince Claire she should pose for some pictures.



She looks thrilled about it, doesn’t she?

I tried to convince her to pose inside of Bruce, but today was not that day for her. LOL. This picture cracked me up with the lady looking in his mouth.



We stopped off in the gift area and I looked at a few shirts and Claire tried to convince me she needed another stuffy and I told her no she didn’t.





That strawberry shortcake was now a distant memory…especially since I only got a small portion of it…..so it was time for a snack.



Claire wanted a pretzel with cheese and I went for the Mickey Bar. Of course I forgot to order the cheese and had to order it after I paid since she reminded me she couldn’t eat it without it.
We then found a spot to sit and eat…and she pretty much ate that darn thing without the cheese till I insisted we were not wasting it.







While sitting there we saw Tiana and Naveen come walking towards us. What a surprise!



And they walked right over next to us to have a meet and greet.



Claire didn’t want to meet them, but I said we were whether she liked it or not. LOL. I knew she was just being shy, so we finished up our snack and she plopped a nice big drop of cheese on her shirt. Oh Great! Oh well nothing we can do about it now. I told her I would photoshop the orange stain out of the pictures.
We got in line, which actually was filling fast, but still we weren’t too far back.

We had some teen girls in front of us and the one was crying with excitement about Naveen being there. I kept thinking she must have some disability because she was just so insanely excited over Naveen. But I don’t think she did and her friend was excited, but not near the same as this one. Claire even looked at me with a wondering look.
I mean, it’s neat to see Naveen, but to cry over him…..that is a little extreme. But glad it made her Disney dream come true then.

I thought Naveen’s shoes were super cute.



And while we waited I did take a few shots.







And then it was our turn.



They really liked Claire’s skirt, which was Peter Pan themed…and I believe has a map on it too.





No he wasn’t pointing at her stain. LOL.





Claire looks a little unsure about taking his arm.







Needless to say, Claire was very happy we went to the meet and she thought they were both a lot of fun. See mother know best!
