Welcome! I will check for the shirts! I was not planning to shop, but I know me... I will shop! And I'll take pictures of things that I like.

So you will know. I could live on Main Street! Let's do it!

The shoes are even more comfortable than I thought they would be! I wear them often, they are my "indoor" shoes at school! The students and staff know me as the Disney teacher, and random kids will come up to tell me about their trips to Disney world or to show me their shirts/pencils whatever! :rotfl2:

Strawberry shortcakes... yummy!

I will be sure to check out your TR!

Part 6: EPCOT!

It was still raining when I got to Epcot, so I kept my poncho on and I didnt end up taking a picture until I was already in World Showcase. I thought I would be able to catch the tail end of an Off Kilter show, but I guess they werent playing in the rain? Im not sure, but I know they were not there when I got to Canada.

Epcot 88 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

I wasnt sure why there was smoke coming out of Japan.

Epcot 89 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

I thought of doing the pick a pearl again, but they were really busy and I didnt quite want to wait all afternoon, then wait to have it set in something. So instead, I browsed the shop, taking pictures to show my Japan obsessed nephew.

Epcot 90 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

Epcot 91 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

I debated buying him a puzzle, but then I remembered that he hated puzzles. Or at least he doesnt enjoy them like I do.

Epcot 92 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

Epcot 93 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

Japan sells all kinds of odd gadgets.

Epcot 94 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

I ended up buying a few things for my nephew, and a Pichu stuffed Pokemon for my niece. Id already bought her a Mickey Mouse Purse (Hey maybe that was the pink thing Id bought at WOD!), but I knew how much she loved PIchu. She was forever asking me to print Pichu coloring pages.

I bought myself a Kaki Gori. I love the strawberry one, and Im not much of a snow cone eater. In fact, I only once bought a snow cone to see if it tasted like a Kaki Gori. It didnt. I like the Kaki Gori best, so thats all I get.

Epcot 104 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

I was telling myself this will be the last time I walk through Epcot for a long while, so take some wide scenic pictures I like the look with the wet ground.

I stood in this area looking at the beautiful foliage and called Rose. I was sad the trip was coming to an end. So I looked at this for a few minutes, taking pictures. It was really a pretty spot in Epcot.

I wanted to ride Journey into the Imagination. One of my nieces loves this ride, well, or just loves the idea of Figment, so I wanted to get some shots for her.

cheekypoppins · Jan 6, 2013

I hope you can find the shoes! I couldn't find many pairs when I was there in July. I got this at DL last March. I wish I'd bought more because they really are comfortable. One day in DL when I first got them, I found they hurt a little, but not since.

One of the teachers at school just brought me some Mickey tea towels that they found. They had gone a few years ago, but the whole family got sick, for practically the whole trip because it went through all of them. They found them over the holidays and she didn't want them, never used (not that I'd care honestly!) so she gave them to me. LOL And Mickey things have appeared by my door with no one telling me they gave it to me! :goodvibes

The funniest when I heard to students from an upper grade talking. I'd never taught them and they were saying "You know Ms. ... " "Yeah." "Did you know she likes Mickey Mouse?" "Yeah isn't that cool?" :lmao:

And it's nice to find some Figment fans!

Bye Epcot! Ill be back again someday! (Sooner than Id thought really!!!)

I decided to take the monorail to the TTC, where I would switch to the resort monorail and get off at the GF. I wanted to get some supper at Gasparillas.

Epcot 155 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

Thats a lot of people going through bag check!

Epcot 156 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

I decided to take a picture that Id never taken before the parking lot! LOL

Monorail 1 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

At the TTC, I ended up being very close to the front of the line for the resort monorail. A family behind me was having a discussion about the other monorail and someone said they were both the same, they could take the other monorail to the hotel too if they wanted. Being the good Diser that I am, I politely corrected them and explained that the other monorail was the express to MK. They were very glad they got in the right line!

cheekypoppins · Jan 10, 2013

I actually saw the shoes in Epcot in September so I'm going to go there again,but at that time I was replacing my old croc flip flops with new ones

Oh! That's awesome! I will buy another pair in March if I find them... Maybe two! :rotfl:

Another student I didn't know told me at school today that he liked my shoes.

We watched the fireworks from right here. I took out my tripod that day and got some interesting shots. I should have used a bigger zoom though, now that I think back. Maybe one day Ill stay there again.

DisneyFreak06 · Jan 12, 2013

So my sister decided that she and her family will not be coming in March. :sad:

But I'm still going!

It will be sad to not have them, as I was looking forward to seeing my nieces' faces light up when they see the castle etc, but oh well.

I will stick with my plan of AoA for one night and Pop Century for the rest of the trip. I might stick around AoA that first morning so I can check out the pool and then take a shower before my lunch ADR at Les Chefs de France. I thought the other day that it will be my only chance to see the pool, as it will be locked up to me when I'm at Pop.

DisneyFreak06 · Jan 12, 2013

I will arrive on a Saturday, take the DME bus to AoA and check in. I will try

to pack light and just have my camera bag, so I won't have anything to bring to my room. I'll probably want something to eat, since I'll have left home at about 8:20 that morning (going to 8:30 am mass before leaving for Halifax right after) and it will be about 12 hours later by then. Something to eat at AoA and then walk around taking pictures on my way to my room. Wander the resort, take many resort area pictures, take many, MANY, pictures of the room too!!!

The next morning, breakfast at the resort, and hopefully pool time if it's nice enough. Then more daytime pictures after my shower and a walk over to Pop. I don't mind lugging my suitcase with me.

It's been a while since I've stayed there, but I spent both my March Break trips at Pop, so it's kind of fitting to be there again!

I can't wait to get many more pictures, and get a nice blue sky in them too!

I am looking forward to seeing all the palm trees too. :thumbsup2

I got a Standard Room this time, having gotten preferred both other times, and every other time I've stayed at a value. I don't think I need it now. I wanted it the other times but now I know what walking at Disney is like, and I don't mind it at all. I didn't even put in a room request. I might later ask for 50s section, upper floor. I'm not sure though.

This is the entrance to AoA. I walked the bridge once on a trip to Pop for lunch.

Part 12: Walking right down the middle of Main Street, USA.

I took the monorail to MK. You know the feeling when you walk in knowing that when you leave, you wont be back for a long time? That was my feeling!
