[Nicole786]

Great TR so far! Can't wait to find out about the boys! Le Cellier was our first meal of the trip too!

 

[kathleen27]

I hadn't realized you started!!!
But I haven't been on much the last week.

Old Key West looks so peaceful.

That spaceship earth photo is beautiful.
The colors are so vibrant!

Glad you are enjoying your solo time!!!
It will be interesting to see if the family shows up!
Le Cellier sounds great.

My mouth is watering just reading about your meal

I hope to bring the boys to Le Cellier next time. It has become a must do for me

Glad you enjoyed your lunch in my home country.
Love your shirt! I have the same one.

And I think your country is beautiful (O Canada review follows )!

I packed two Ariel shirts on this trip, and have a few more at home

I LOVE your TR so far! Your kids are soo adorable! I cant wait to read more.

Thanks for your very kind comments

Thanks for the great update, Ariel's my favorite too. Do they still have the mussels with applewood bacon appetizer, it's wonderful & I think I read somewhere that they didn't have it anymore?

I only saw the cheese soup and the sausage appetizer being ordered by people seated around me. It may still be there, but I don't remember. Sorry

Oh so glad to hear you made your ADR! And a lovely meal! I'm anxiously awaiting the next installment! Oh and so glad to hear you enjoyed dining solo as well!

Allyson

I am sure you too will have a grand time on your solo trip!

Great so far!
Im really excited to read more!
Im leaving in one week!

Have safe and fun trip, glad you came by to read about mine

Isn't it the best feeling to be driving through this?!?!? You know the whole trip is ahead of you....it is so exciting!

Hi MeMom! There'll be more gate photos later...

Great TR so far! Can't wait to find out about the boys! Le Cellier was our first meal of the trip too!

How was your dining experience at Le Cellier? Oh, wait don't tell me, I'll be checking out your TR!

Hi kathleen! Glad to see ya back! OKW is so clean and pretty, I was tempted to buy DVC there...Ooops, let me not get ahead of my story

When I last left you I was leaving Le Cellier, and with a full and happy tummy I was ready to take on the World (Showcase).

I stopped to marvel at the Victoria gardens just outside Le Cellier's entrance:

It was my first time ever touring the WS. In October last year, the boys and I spent all our Epcot days riding and re-riding all the attractions in FW, never getting a chance to visit even one country (and it was during the Food and Wine festival too!)

I notice the little cottage tucked away in the corner of the gardens:

I walk through the bridge/pathway leading towards the O Canada theater:

Gorgeous waterfall:

And clean, clear waters:

The majestic Hotel du Canada:

A view from the queue area of the O Canada theater:

The theater was only a quarter full I got to stand in the very center of the theater. A tip to those who've never been here: although it is a 360 degree theater, face right when you enter. That appeared to be the "front" of the film IMHO.

One final glance at Canada before heading over to the next country:

Up next:
Commando touring the World!
Stay tuned

I just wanted to tell you how much I am enjoying your TR!!!! Your boys are so cute!!! Such wonderful pictures too--

 

[Lifelong_Dreamer]

Lovely photos of the Canadian pavilion. I think they did a really good job replicating different aspects from all over Canada, especially the gardens and the chateau.

Hi! I'm so happy you're enjoying my little TR Much more to come! Btw, I was showing my Mom and Sister all the photos I took during this trip, and surprise, surprise! -- Both of them spaced out halfway through my slideshow!

(Told y'all I am the only Disney die-hard 'round here! )

I am so glad I started in Canada and explored it thoroughly. I got more and more tired as I looped around the World, and the number of pictures I took decreased proportionally!

That can happen and no wonder you were tired after just arriving and hitting the parks right away.

 

[kathleen27]

I love the garden in Canada. Every time I see a photo from a different time of year, it looks a little different. I guess I will have to go to Disney all different times of the year to see the changes.

 

[DisneyTiger]

Loving the TR!!! I needed a fix while waiting for you next post so I started reading your other TR - for your son's 7th birthday! I am loving all the pics. You are keeping me very entertained. My DH is an Olympic addict so there's no watching TV or talking to him for a while. Keep em' coming!

LOL! Once a commando, always a commando

Another reason to start planning for a new trip! I myself would love to see the Christmas decorations at MK and DHS.....hmmm...

I walked on to the next country, the United Kingdom. My goal was to take in the architecture and see the hedge maze.

I just happily snapped away:

I've read somewhere that the pavilion's street contains one building for each century of British history:

I thought this English cottage was simply lovely! Here's an attempt at an artistic shot:

Here's the hedge maze. I had a relaxing time quietly watching the folks walking in and around it:

I saw the international gateway entrance, then walked over the bridge:

The bridge, of course, connecting UK to:

France!

 

[jake&samsmom]

Where did all these dark clouds come from?

It was a beautiful sunny day when I left the UK, but the weather made a complete turn-around in France. I hurry up and take a photo before the light drizzle turns into a heavy rain:

A photopass photographer approaches me, and I smile before getting (mildly) drenched by the rain:

I, along with a few others, run and take shelter at the French theater and wait for the rain to ease up......

Up next:
An almost-personal injury!
Been there, done that.
Proud to be an American!
Stay tuned....

 

[MomofCKJ]

Great pictures! Love your UK ones! And man that sky did get dark fast huh? Did you watch the whole France movie? How was it? I've never seen it!
