Hmmm, I think you might lose your Women's Club membership since you didn't spend much time in Italy. I hear the ladies tend to like it there. Of course I have no idea why.
Hmm, I may have to create an "I Survived Grand Fiesta Tour" t-shirt for future trips.
Ooh, you got to see the globe haul out. I thought it was a pretty cool thing to see.
Yes I agree... Bring back the Pink! I don't know why but the new colour scheme just looks... odd.
"Someone needs to keep an eye on their kid! "
Why Rob, whatever have you been hearing??
Young Italian men with lovely smiles and charming accents...
That's our Rob - ever the merchandising man! Great idea about the Gran Fiesta shirt! You'll need to include LED fireworks like the ceiling!
Yeah, why did they go yellow?? It's not as controversial as the hat at DHS but don't mess with the color scheme!
Looking at your food pictures from Ohana and then looking at my sad lunch right now. Sigh.
That picture of Em and the statue was too funny!
Hi Dave! Perhaps you can throw in a Mickey krispie treat in your lunch once in a while to pep it up!
Em's definitely her dad's kid! I would
never do that!
Oh I could go for some of those nooodles right now!!!! Great tip on the asking for "doneness" on the meat, I need to try to remember that.
That is an absolutely HIDEOUS Belle and Beast ornament!
Sounds like you need to make a perfume purchase when you get back!
I wish I could recall who to give credit for the hint about the doneness of the meat but it was someone on the Disboards.
It is good to know.
Yeah... not sure who that Belle got through the QA process.
I think I do see some Laila in my future!
Ohana! I want to try this so badly!!! I think it will HAVE to be on our to-do list for March! Fingers crossed!!!!
And really
you have GOT to do something about that out of control daughter of yours!!!! Tsk tsk!
I was going to ask you about the bread, but I saw that your drink was a pina colada
which means you must like the coconut taste/flavor. I'm kinda picky about it.
Yes Christen! You should eat at 'Ohana! Your girls would love it and they can participate in the kid's games.
I never eat much of the bread since I have to leave room for the 20 courses of food ahead but it does have a pineapple-y taste more than coconut. Yes, I love that taste combo - evidenced by my drink.
Ha!! Agreed! I need to get that kid under control...It would have been awkward to put Em in timeout.
Welcome back Brenda!
Where the hell is everyone else in your DL castle shot??!! - don't tell me you were finally given the keys to the kingdom
Looks like a top day in Epcot and hoorah for finally getting a cocktail with some alcohol in it
Love the "cheeky" photo of Em
Hi Linda!
I thought of you last weekend when Michael and I finally dined at Napa Rose!
Loved it.
That castle photo was before park open since we were in with the morning EMHs.
I was excited to finally try a Pina Colava. Huge mistake, I had more than a few since they were so good!!
Aw man, we were so close to running into each other ahha. We spent from 3 onward over at Mk on the 1st!
I still haven't really gone into the American pavilion, just to see Voices of Liberty, that's it. Maybe next time?!
A nice walk around WS, lovely!!
Ah Ohana, having FINALLY eaten there, I have to say, it was delicious and super yummy, I do think it was talked up a whole lot so I may or may not have expected more than it was, but oh well!
We'll have to keep comparing notes. We had 3 more days at the parks and we were splitting time between all of them so you never know....
I've only heard the Voices of Liberty a couple times but they were awesome! I do love the American Adventure show.
I think Ohana has a legendary status among its fans but for those that try it and get an average meal with plenty to eat its more like - what's all the fuss about! We've had fun and had great servers and even danced on our anniversary there so it has some good memories for us!
Great new photos - you look so glamorous in Epcot in your shades. Your Ohana meal is making my low carb lunch (eaten in between avoiding flicks of baby food) look very depressing.
Ha! Thanks Alysa!
Oh no! I recall those days of baby food on mommy! It's a great look!
That guy from France is cute! I really do need to spend more time there.
Wow, that ornament is pretty horrible. I mean, I guess it's artistic and all but...yeah.
The American adventure is definitely not for everyone. I'm a nerd, so I love it but my husband does too. For a nap. I just miss WS.
Ohana looked fun! As long as there is bread, right?! I love E's top, so cute! Polka dots are the best.
Agreed Jennifer! Cutie in France and Belle not so much.
ha ha! That's funny! How many people have I read about taking naps in that attraction - a few!
Bread is always a great starter - especially if it is soft and pineapple-y.
Em actually got that polka dot dress at
Disneyland earlier in the year.
I love Ohana! So much fun! I am being sneaky lately, and I keep showing DD pics of Disney, so eventually she will get on DH's case to go. Not that I'm having a baby in 2 days or anything, but I can dream, right?
Hi KristinAnne!! Have you had your baby?? I wish you all the BEST!
Love the sneaky tactic. You have do employ whatever works and adorable kids is a great weapon on their daddies!!
Nice Ohana meal! So fun and yummy.
OMG there was something else I wanted to say and now I don't know what.
Ahh, yes, the American Adventure. I love it and I like the way you summed it up. I always get misty eyed at the end for that montage so I keep my sunglasses near me. I do like the animatronics in this adventure. They just seemed so representative of the time the attraction was developed.
Hi Mary Ellen! I'm glad you can related to my sentiment about the show. It is just so well done! And the video montage at the end brings it all together so perfectly! They had the same video at the California Dreams pavilion in Disney's California Adventure but it was replaced by the Little Mermaid ride so Epcot is the only place that I can see this now.
I love the salad dressing and I make it at home frequently! I also agree, by the time you get to dessert there is no room! I always feel like they can roll me right out of there!! I did make the Bread Pudding at home too... It was amazing.... I was surprised at how well it turned out!!
