Great pics...and a rainbow! Epcot is my favorite park and we definitely need to spend more time exploring in the world show case. I love the CMs around the worlds, I love to meet new people and that just sounds so fun. I know it made the CMs feel good also. You get mad points in my book for that one. I do not look forward to the last night at Disney...I try my best to soak in everything especially that last night. It's so hard to not be grumpy right before bed that night.
Ahhhh!!!!! That is spectacular!!
*giggle*
Your pictures are getting me super excited to (possibly, hopefully) see the Flower and Garden Fest in person! So so beautiful.
HAHAHA, those soaps sound... pleasant?
BAHHH the rainbow. Amazing.
Great choice for your jacket! But uh, last night? Really? Boo. Good thing you're going back soon!

I have to say seeing that rainbow was totally worth you getting drenched - for me!! Perhaps Disney DOES have a "Rain Stay" system whereby they drive park guests indoors for periods of time to dump their pocketful of $ on rain ponchos and things to keep the kids occupied and you know a cocktail or two for the adults.... just saying, reality could be different.
Seriously though, that is a spectacular rainbow.
Congrats on successfully completing your CM Around the World (insert trademark) tour. Instead of the KidCot stations they can have DisneyKid4Life's CM around the world stations complete with photo stamp and all. It could happen.
I can almost guarantee that you wont' have someone's kid being shoved in front of you for the Illuminations cruise.
A rain-away system, or maybe just a giant dome. With air conditioning. IT'S GENIUS!
Congrats on completing your mission! What's the prize?
WOW what an amazing rainbow.
Noooo can't believe it's almost over. Then again, you have a trip coming up very very soon...
How wonderful to see a full rainbow at Disney World! The pictures are just beautiful
That's funny that you always go straight to Canada. I go either way depending on what I feel like eating... LOL.
I always want to get photos with WS CMs... especially the attractive ones, but I feel so weird asking! I'm sure they would happily oblige but I'm awkward.
Bravo for continuing on despite the monsoon! Due to your Maelstrom riding you are probably familiar with getting drenched anyway. What a tidal wave that ride is.
Ok, I don't know how I didn't know about the soaps in Canada but now am reeeeeally curious. Yep going to have drag my family over there in January.
Such a magical view of the rainbow over Epcot and the World Showcase.
Oh, and the "Rain-Away System"? You have to reserve a Fastpass+ 60 days in advance to have access to it. I heard they're still working out the glitches as guests have reported not being able to locate their ressie on MDE.
I have really enjoyed this TR Rob! And I'm glad I could provide some laughter. I don't blame you one bit....I may just do a general "CM's That Happen to be Chicks" photo mission when I'm there in December. Definitely going back and reading again after it's done! Thanks!
We were in WDW in 2009 and had horrific rain similar to what you're talking about, and we were in WS too! It was like there were rivers of water just running down all of WS, it was crazy. We took refuge in Norway. Such a shame that you have to take refuge there and be forced to eat school bread.
Wow, the Canadian CM's were really friendly, huh? That's so shocking!
Nice that the weather cleared up like that. It's my favorite thing after really bad rain, when the skies part and the beautiful sun emerges. And that you were able to see a great rainbow? Nice.
Ahh What a beautiful rainbow. It's like a reward for dealing with the torrential rain.
Maybe they should put a rainbow at the exit of Maelstrom so after you get drenched on the ride you can walk under a rainbow on the way out.
Hurray for finishing your mission!!!!! Love all the pictures with your CM's around the world. Are you planning for a Christmas edition next month??
I have been in the Canada Store many times and tried on hats and played with stuffed animals, looked at shirts but I have never come across those soaps. Going to have to look for them on my next trip.
Love that jacket that you found. What an amazing picture on the back!
So sad that it is your last day but happy that you will be back next month so we won't have to wait too long for a new TR!
I'm glad to see you finished your CM around the world quest! Such a fun idea.
Your rainbow pictures came out beautiful! What a wonderful sight to see after all that rain.
Illuminations can be viewed anywhere but I do like the showcase plaza the best. Sounds like the perfect way to end the trip!
Hooray for completing the mission, I knew you would!
Wow those rainbow pics are STUNNING, absolutely beautiful!
Have really been enjoying your TR. Not ready for it to come to an end! The rainbow was beautiful. Epcot most often seems to be where we get caught in a monsoon as well! I found those soaps this past summer!!! Brought some home for gag gifts for the brother and sisters! Then, when DD and I were wandering the Wilderness Lodge gift shop one afternoon, we came across them in there as well! Just a little FYI if anyone is in the market for them and not headed to Epcot.
Beautiful rainbow!
mmmm that worms in dirt looks so yummy right now ,Oh i just can't wait to get there already n get some delicious disney food !!!
It was on my way over to Maelstrom that I overheard the follow gem, keeping in mind that it had been pouring buckets for the past hour or so.
I dont think we should go on that the sign says you might get wet.
There really is just no cure for stupid.
Simply run in and out and exclaim Its Day Its Night Its Day Its Night.
On a previous trip we heard a family saying they didn't want to ride Splash Mountain because you could get wet... and it was pouring rain.
I really dont get why Disney doesnt just engage their Rain-away system that I am absolutely convinced they have somewhere.
One push of a button and POOF Sunny skies.
I know they have the money. What else do they have to spend a billion dollars on?
... Oh wait...
I love that moose covered in lights! Way to be super cute, Canada! I've met those CMs too. They were super helpful & felt horrible when I didn't buy any of their suggestions but when you see a hockey shirt, one must buy it for her hockey loving husband. Anywho!
That rainbow is gorgeous! How perfect to see a perfect rainbow in epcot. The stuff dreams are made of.
That worms in dirt treat looks so good! I wish they had it all the time.
Oh no...the trip is coming to a close?
WOW!!!!! That rainbow is amazing. Soooooo pretty. I would have probably stood there and stared too.
I can't believe the trip is almost over! Luckily you are leaving soon and will have another amazing trip to share.
Oh my goodness, Canada is the prettiest pavilion. I love it. I hope to be able to work in the Canadian pavilion someday. It'd be amazing.
Such amazing pictures of the rainbow. Goodness, I wish I could see Epcot like that!
Dirt cakes are always the best! Now I wish I had one.
Howdy Rob! I'm back and got myself all caught up.
Oh my word that's a lot of rain. Yikes! Glad you didn't let it get you down. Norway is a great place to wait out the rain! (Though ironically I just watched a video about flooding in the real Norway...)
On a previous trip we heard a family saying they didn't want to ride Splash Mountain because you could get wet... and it was pouring rain.
You know I'm thinking about this guy:

Friendly Canucks? There's a shocker. I love that pavilion. It's so beautiful! I also have some Beaver Butt soap.
That rainbow... wow. Amazing sight over Epcot. Very, very cool.
Wow! I can't believe we're up to go home day! I'm very glad there's another trip coming up so I won't have to wait long for the next report after this one.
I've heard people say that too. It's like, um... you're already drenched. Seems like now would be the perfect time to ride!
Arrrrg that rainbow shot is GORGEOUS!!!
Looks like a pretty awesome last night in Epcot, I do have to agree, it is a nice walk out of there in the evening, I feel like its never as crowded, and after a big rain storm it definitely wouldnt be!
Is it just me or is the Canada pavilion never busy, lol, I always spend at least twenty minutes in there talking with the cms lol!
I havent seen Illuminations in AGES, but that will change coming in Dec!! Im actually really excited!!
They were saving it for me.
I had my first Rain Free trip!
It does happen.
That I think is probably because I (for the first time) actually brought my own ponchos. And plastic bags to protect my stuff.
Hi Rob! I've been following along, and LOVING, this TR since the beginning but I thought that I should finally post a reply since I did send you a FB friend request... and since this TR is almost complete. I know that I can always count on your updates to get a great laugh!!
And wow, seeing that full rainbow over Epcot was probably TDF!
Hi Rob! How many days??? I've got a busy week even with it being a holiday week for us Yanks. I don't want to miss the anticipation of the trip coming up so quickly but darn if my job isn't making this hard.
I'm back from Vegas so I'm glad that you haven't wrapped this up yet since I didn't want to miss it. (All selfish reasons of course.)
I hope you are enjoying your weekend!
And no, Em will not be shoved in front of you in the boat so I suppose I should edit my comment to say I "can guarantee."
