1. SO glad the kernel is GONE!!!
2. I ADORE the picture of you and Tom in the UK phone booth - can I steal the pose with my DH (or possible the lead singer of Off Kilter )
3. Thank you for posting how to do World Showcase RIGHT! That is by far my favorite 'day' yet

 

[NikkiLovesWDW!]

I'm so happy you finally got a nice sunny day with blue skies, it's about time!

I love WS! I knew that picture of the bathroom was America, it's such a loooong walk when you really have to go!

I know what you mean about having to drink in WS! I don't drink a lot in every day life either, but when you are in Epcot, you have to, there are so many amazing things there that you wouldn't normally have the option of drinking! And yes, it catches up with me too! And my DH (I don't think you read my Disneymoon TR from May, but he drank so much one night he made me miss MK extra magic hours...ughhhh...I was SOOOO mad!!!! )!

Off Kilter looks like fun! I never bother with them for some reason but a lot of people love them!

Yes! That America bathroom IS a long walk! But for some reason, I just love it! Off Kilter is so much fun! I was always confused why people loved them so much but with a few drinks in me, I get it now!

The stone bench deal - owie, owie, OWIE!!!!!!!!!!! I can see the huge bump on your leg even just a few days later. How long did it take to heal?

Your pictures from Biergarten are wonderful!!! We loved our meal there this past December.

Those are some very, very random characters behind the secret doors. June and Bolt?!?! Weird! I wonder why they had them out...?

Oh yes, it hurt really badly! Actually, believe it or now, the bruise is still lingering! It's been a month and a half and there's still a very slight discoloration!

The random characters were so cool! I love stumbling upon stuff like that!

Nice that you met Bolt. My DS loves him, he would have loved to meet him. Maybe next time.

We were SHOCKED to see Bolt! It was very cool!

That is too funny...I wonder how those pics turned out!! I LIKE the way you do Epcot...

It was a really fun 1/2 hour or so. Except, I'm not good with the fancy touch-phones and some people had me taking pictures with it and I really had no idea what I was doing! BUT I'm sure the pictures came out great because I am awesome at following directions and at taking good pictures!

1. Me too!

2. You can totally steal it! Like I said, we stole it from a couple who did it right before us! So funny about the singer from Off Kilter comment!

3. I should write a book! "Doing World Showcase RIGHT!" Subtitle ~ "Walt Disney World for adults who like to relax and have fun."

Finally!!! Now there's the Nikki and Tom I know and love!! This is how I expect your Disney vacations to go....I've seen you in action in person remember?! That video that starts with the duck and your tour of WS is sooo funny! My favorite so far, I think because it represents you and Tom so perfectly.
Now you've seen Marie twice since last summer...Krista will NOT be happy. You know how I feel about Epcot and now she's gonna make me hang out there till that cat appears. Thanks! I'm so happy things finally turned around for you guys!

 

[stacikristine]

YAY for no rain!!! It looks like you and Tom had a fantastic afternoon. I loved the phone booth picture! Too bad it wasn't sunny the whole time...

Oh--and yay for the kernel being gone!

Hahah! That's us! Yes, you did get a first-hand look at us in action! Ever since I was a kid, I felt the need to tell the viewing audience the countries around the lagoon. Seriously, I have video from almost every year growing up where I'm pointing out the countries...I just can't stop doing it!

I swear, we are not doing anything special to find Marie! We just stumbled upon her BOTH times!

I know, it really is too bad it wasn't sunny the whole time. BUT, if it was, we probably would've had the heat (and most likely, the crowds) to complain about. I'm just glad we got this day...and the next!

 

[NikkiLovesWDW!]

I don't know how this happened, but I somehow missed posting this picture during the Margarita Time segment of my last update!!!

2. You can totally steal it! Like I said, we stole it from a couple who did it right before us! So funny about the singer from Off Kilter comment!

I completely believe that the bruise is still there! That looked horrible! I'm glad it's almost gone though.

I meant to comment on the super cute pose of you 2 in the phone booth as well - then saw your reply back to another poster about it. I saw another DISer with this same pose in her signature with her husband! I haven't a clue when they were there, but wouldn't that be funny if you took another DISers picture???

 

[kdevoe]

Just found your trip report and I am lovin' it!!!! My DH and I love to roam around WS too. You just gotta sample all the alcoholic beverages you can. It is a must!!! and when I say sample I mean even though you have had that drink before you should sample it again just to make sure you still like it. LOL Can't wait to hear more about you r trip!!!

 

[trinaweena]

soo next time BF and i go to Disney you and Tom are officially invited haaha! You look like you had so much fun! That's the RIGHT way to do WS!

I told DBF we were spending a whole afternoon at WS on our next trip!

I'm totally jealous of your time there! So sad your leaving tomorrow though!! (Also sad that your almost done and I'm still on day 2! UH OH!)

 

[Tracy161]

What a perfect way to spend an Epcot afternoon!!! Ahhh, what I'd give to be there right now sipping on a nice, cold 'rita!

Oh we'ld LOVE to come on your next trip! All expenses paid, right? You need to go with JUST DBF, though! No extra relatives to slow you down!

Yes, it was just perfect! When I think of Disney World, THAT is what I think of...just being in WS, strolling around with a drink and taking tons of pics!

I am LOVIN your drink around the world, it looked like you were having so much fun If we do cross paths next year we should totally go drinking

 

[Shannon84]

Just when I think it may be over There are more pictures That one in the phone booth is so cute, I wish I thought of these ideas while I was down there, must take note haha

 

[DWGal210]

I love Margarita Time!!! LOVE IT!

I had that Grey Goose slushie last time and could have had 3-4 more.....yum.....drooling on my keyboard just thinking about it!

In between wheeling the 4 year old around this time, I might have to sneak a drink or two....

Oh 4 year-olds and Margarita Time do NOT go hand in hand! That's why we are enjoying it while we can! Pesky kids..... I'd definitely have a sneaky 'rita though, if I were you!

Well we have out dates firmly down as I booked part of our Disneymoon yesterday, so when you have firm dates let me know and we can sort something out

 

[Robmom]

I was dying for a margarita when we were there, but since my DS is 5, I had to do without. If my DH comes with us next year, I'm getting one!
