Cool they had the stuff for Tangled! When we went I think they just had a few pictures on the wall. But it does look like a really cute movie. Flynn Rider cracks me up in the previews.

Looks like a fun meal at Akershus!

I always enjoy seeing the displays on the upcoming movies. Makes me feel like we're in the know

Great post! We have never heard of 'Tangled' so that is exciting to see the pictures from that.
Why does Lotso smell like strawberries? I didnt notice that when we met him. I asked 'him' if he was a girl bear (I hadn't seen the movie yet!) and he smacked me pretty hard in the head with his giant paw. While it was sort of funny, it was quite strange too. I have pictures of the whole thing.
Can't wait to read more!!

Tangled is the story of Rapunzel and looks really cute

In the movie I believe they mention he smells like strawberries and we noticed his meet and greet area has that scent.

He smacked you?! That must have been weird! We ended up seeing him later in the trip and had a lot of fun. He was pretty funny for a bear that can't talk

How sweet of you to surprise Caitlin with the button and a birthday celebration at the meal!

Just thinking about my 3 year old being 19, and experiencing that same thing one day, brought tears to my eyes! It's fun and exciting to watch kids grow up, isn't it? Even when they aren't "kids" anymore like Caitlin! I'm 31 and I'm still my Mom's baby! (and sometimes treated like I'm 12 )

Thank you

In your TR it's very obvious how crazy you are about your son so I know you understood how I was feeling And you're right, there is nothing as exciting or fufilling as watching your child grow and learn!

Hi! Thanks for joining us!

I feel really lucky that at almost 20 Caitlin still loves Disney and still loves vacationing with us! It was fun to surprise her

Glad you're enjoying it!

 

[I Believe In Magic]

Yes Lotso smacked me, it was a weird memory that we will have for awhile. Hope all is well with you guys, looking forward to an update!

After we finished up with lunch we walked on to the Maelstrom I love this ride although it is very cheesy! It is fun to ride it with people who haven't ridden it before and get a little freaked out when it looks like you are going to fall backwards over a cliff

After we got off the ride my mom began her "Hats Around the World" pictures and took this of my dad

Once we were done with Norway

we moved onto Mexico and walked on to the Grand Fiesta tour! I am a huge fan of Donald so this ride never gets old for me!

Now this is when my dad saw the greatest place on earth.....

Yep I had heard about this on the Dis and knew my dad had to try it out! I had already decided he would be trying the jalapeno margarita so he ordered it and what did he think....

He loved it! He kept talking about going back and getting another but unfortunately we never made it back to the Cave.

Some pictures from around the restaurant.

After my dad had finished thoroughly enjoying his drink we took some pictures around the Mexico pavilion.

Then we headed on to Canada where my mom had something she could thoroughly enjoy

 

[PrincessCaitlin]

A little Off Kilter anyone?

My mom finds him dreamy!

We stopped there for a bit then headed on to England. I had bought my dad a Guiness t shirt for Father's Day and they had a Guiness shirt I liked in England so I decided I would get it and dad and I could match the next day

The front and back of the t shirt

While we were there I did some pin trading and the nicest CM picked up the phone and said it was for me!

It was Goofy wishing me a Happy Birthday! I hadn't taken off the pin I had gotten at lunch.

After the UK we walked through the International Gateway exit

and made our way balk to BWV and visited the shops along the way. We eventually got back to our room and changed to go to the pool.

We also got pool drinks and I had a frozen orange juice that was very good!

We headed back to the room after an hour to get ready for a night at Epcot!

After we were done getting ready we decided to have a photo shoot around the hotel.

On our way back to Epcot I caught a very cute CM checking me out from one of the stands on the Boardwalk. Well of course I had to go over there and buy myself a pop this is when I met Julio the one CM I mentioned on our PTR. I talked to him for a little bit then continued on my way to Epcot.

I had decided to start our Hidden Mickeys around the world search and this eventually became "Hotties Around the World" as well

Starting with France

We also went inside the shops where I found this cute t shirt and this cute sign.

We headed into Morocco to have dinner at the Tangerine Cafe. I had never had Moroccan food before but I ended up really enjoying it!

I had the Chicken and Lamb Shawarma meal

My dad had the Falafel Wrap

For dessert we both had baklava

My mom had french fries

The food was very good! After we were finished we continued our hunt for Hidden Mickeys.

We also found something else

We also went into the exhibit in the back which we had never done before!

 

[PrincessCaitlin]

Then some more picture taking!

and then another hidden mickey!

In Japan we didn't find any HMs but we did find a good dessert and an exhibit on Anime

I am not really into anime but it was a cool exhibit!

We then took one last look at the koi pond and I grabbed a snack to go

Then to the American Adventure we didn't find any HMs but I did find a guy in a goofy hat

Next was Italy where I found my first hottie

He was playing soccer in the store and called me "Bella" it was amazing

We didn't find any HMs here but we did take pictures of the scenery

 

[PrincessCaitlin]

Up next was Germany where the hunt for HMs continued!

I also found a shirt that I had liked on our previous trip to Disney

There's that goofy hat guy again

We eventually ended up in Africa and bought my dad a t shirt. The t shirt was half off since the World Cup had just ended.

Then headed to China where HMs were calling our names!

We ended up spending a lot of time here relaxing and checking out the stores.

It was beginning to get close to Illuminations and we weren't sure if we were going to stay to watch them. Well we decided on staying to watch them at around 8:40 and found a spot on the water in front of Italy near where the boats park to watch them. The boats looked crowded together so we were happy we didn't end up spending the money on the boat ride and we ended up having a great spot!

After Illuminations we walked back to BWV and stopped along the way to watch a street performer on the Boardwalk. We ended our night watching television and eventually fell asleep so we would be ready for our big day tomorrow.

Sounds like a perfect Epcot night-- trolling the WS for HM's and hotties. What could be better?

Mega Update and I can't see your pics. I am at the wrong computer. Bummer! I will try to check back tonight! Can't wait to see all the great pictures. sounds like a fun evening!

 

[meeko_33785]

Enjoyed the updates. The Boardwalk pics were so much fun to see. I love all the little knick-knacks and old-timey machines in the lobby. The new restaurant in Italy looks great too.

 

[MEK]

First of aLL.....that hottie was totally hot!

Second.....I want to know what exactly that jalapeno rita tasted like? was it spicy hot? I want to try one but I am afraid.

Third.....awesome use of pictures. I especially love the BWI pics except for that creepy little chair.

 

[nessz79]

Loved all those Hidden Mickeys- your "other" picture was hilarious!

Sounds like a great day at Epcot. I can't wait to spend some good time there on our next trip. We're spending 2 days at Epcot and I plan to squeeze all the details out of World Showcase .
