Got up at 9.30am & headed over to DTD, booked the 2nd showing of HOB Gospel Brunch - this was brilliant! the food was lovely, the lights dimmed & a ladys voice started speaking well preaching, then the curtain came up & she sang a couple of uplifting songs,
then 2 genorous sized ladies dressed in white came on & were FANTASTIC my favourite was when they sang ''Dont Let The Sun Go Down On Me'' such powerful voices!!!
Then a man came on who they called the Apostle - he looked, acted & sounded just like James Brown!!! & he proudly showed off a portrait of his mom (who had passed away the year before) on the back of his guitar!!
Its really hard to describe the atmosphere but by the end i was up & clapping & DD & DH looked embarresed!
I loved it & wished mum & dad had been able to see it - something for our ''to do'' list when we return ;)
They didnt allow video or photography which was a shame!

We walked back through the market place & went in that shop that shows all the lovely art work - cant remember what its called!
There was a locol artist signing pics & i spent ages talking to him & his wife - they lived in celebration - lucky things! there was a huge painting of Cinderellas castle at night with wishes fireworks all around it - couldnt afford the original but i bought a print & had my pic took with the artist, my print & the original :) i think his name was Larry Dotson

AND what are the green boards on the little islands on the lake at Epcot??

headed back to POP & went in pool.


Tonight was my last visit to MK & i wanted to see ''Wishes'' at 10pm for one last time, it was EMH's we arrived at the bus stop at 8.55pm ....waited 40 mins :eek:
4 busses came & went for Epcot, MGM's & DTD!!! people where getting very fed up!! we just arrived in time to see wishes with seconds to spare!!

DD wanted to do Space Mountain & i sat right at the front for the 1st time - it was terrifying!!:scared1: it felt like i was going to hit something!!

DD dragged me away down mainstreet & we bought a muffin from mainstreet bakery & sat in my favourite place to eat it! i took one last look at thecastle as i was dragged out by DD & DH - it was blue - just like me :(

Arrived back at POP at 2.45am

next - last day in WDW before heading to Royal Pacific at Universal just as Fay arrives!!! AND we return to Beaches & Cream ;)
 
Another great day Tracey. It looks like you had a lovely last day at MK. Fab piccies too :thumbsup2
 

Oh a lovely day Tracey :thumbsup2 .Your pictures of the Castle at night look lovely.x.

Tracey,
Casting Center and Team Disney are Disney corporate and administratvie offices. You know how all Disney employees are called Cast Members? They're hired and trained at the Casting Center (as in being cast for an acting part). Team Disney houses the corporate offices and used to (and I think still does) provide space for training non-Disney businesses in the world famous Disney philosophy and practice of excellence. Sorry, I can't help you with the green boards--but suspect if they're on the lake at EPCOT they're part of the IllumiNations production.

Thanks for your report.
 
such a great day. thanks for sharing
