We interrupt hockey trivia to bring you a trip report.

Great Idea.

PAD, DS11's face is priceless 110,000 points, you go girl
I was go glad to read that Mr. PAD "our special snowflake" was happy just to enjoy the show.


Glad you could ditch the sweatshirts for a bit!


OK, back to hockey.

don't encourage them!

Mr. Pad was my special snowflake

We are off to EPCOT for The Food & Wine Festival………we have not used many of our snack credits up til now & we decided to ‘eat’ (& drink ) our way around the World.

Unfortunately I did not take any photos & will improvise menus & beverages by memory.

First stop was Canada for a Moose Head & Cheese Soup. The Cheese soup was good, a little to ‘oniony’ for me (I am a wimpy eater). DH liked it though.
The Moose Head was a little ‘heady’ for me, but again I am wimpy!

We skipped Japan--though I love sushi--I am not a fan of California Roll--give me an eel any day

We visited Italy & enjoyed Pizza with Sausage Baked Ziti. Both were a generous portion & very tasty.

Louisiana had a very good Seafood Gumbo & it wasn’t even too spicy for me & Abita Amber Beer

In New Zealand we had a Lamb Slider. It was very sweet tasting---I could have stopped right here & had more. But according to DH there was more beer to be had.

Somewhere around Italy was Queen Victoria Market we enjoyed Grilled Lamb Chops, a fair sized portion……….but I could have used more Foster's Lager was DH’s beverage of choice here.

Ireland Potato Leek Soup with Dubliner Cheese Stick. This was a wonderful soup---& certainly not too oniony Guinness Draught………….you would think we wouldn’t be able to walk by now…………

In China we had the -Pork Pot Stickers - a little bland I thought.

By this time the lights have dimmed & Illuminations has begun. We enjoyed the show & headed to the buses. Original plan had been to head over to MK for SpectroMagic………….but it was just not to be this trip………….next time

We took this on the way out---I think they look like they could have made it to SpectroMagic

Up next An ‘Empty’ Main Street

Thanks Kimmy!

We did have a busy day today...............

 

[coles1mom]

Did the boys like the different foods?

Oh, and Happy Thanksgiving to You too

 

[PADISFAM]

Happy Thanksgiving to you too!


Their favorite was Italy

We shared a lot of things............('cept the beer of course )

& they did try everything. But Italy won hands down for them.

I enjoyed reading about the Food and Wine Festival! We are hoping to go in September!

You must have non fussy eaters!
DD10 ate McD's at every park
and was happy as a lark

Sounds like you got a great sampling all over the world!

I enjoyed reading about the Food and Wine Festival! We are hoping to go in September!

it was a lot of fun & really not bad pricing & if you save your snacks it's even better

We could have spent much, much more time there.............so much to do from eating, music & sweets mmmmmmmmmmm!

It's best not to go on the weekend (tis when the locals are there........) but we ended up there on a Saturday anyway. It was crowded, but not unbearable.

Mine would be happy w/ McD's (or any bacon cheeseburger for that matter) for all meals, every day!

[HARASW]

That is a great family photo.

Thanks for the info on F&WF. I'm not really familiar with it.

I'm very impressed that your boys were willing to try so many different foods. My kids are teens and still quite picky.

Always looking forward to another update and more photos.....

Thanks Sarah

F&W was a lot of fun! I can certainly see why people go at that time of year often.

Mickey & Stitch wake us up early for our 8:05 breakfast at the MK & we are even pretty functional

Weather Man promised a beautiful day

The sweatshirts did accompany us for the early morning jaunt over to Crystal Palace………..still was pretty chilly at that early hour!

The bus ride was a bit of a wait, but we left in plenty of time…….always planning

We make it through the front gates very easily & walk through the ‘breakfast & BBB entrance’

& then we see a beautiful site

DH is pushing the little guys on the stroller & doesn’t appear to be monitoring the situation very carefully……….because all of a sudden DS6 is rolling on to Main Street (he was fine) from the front of the stroller……….(DH claims he hit a bump )

We have some time for some pics in front of the castle……sans sweatshirts already

& even some brotherly love!

DS4 is thrilled to be holding he was very careful

Here are a few pics as we make our way over to CP

The CP menu

& my favorite more breakfast food!

part 2 in a moment too many IMG codes...........

 

[PADISFAM]

The weather did very much cooperate today it ended up a beautiful day…….I still had hot chocolate at breakfast!

We did get to fight Capt Hook!

Even DS11 got into the fun!

While waiting I was able to catch a picture of Aladdin & Jasmine……….can you guess who for?

The DCT Parade was wonderful as always & while waiting the boys did some pin trading……we got some good ones!

Alas soon it is nap time………………

Can you tell?…………..

But not before one of these

We head out right after our Dole Whip, the bus took about ½ of forever to get there!

I had to go to the little bus shack & threaten to show leg! (it must have worked ‘cause after 45+ minutes of waiting finally an AKV bus showed up )

Sooooo sad…………..tis our last night in the World.

We all had a wonderful time & many, many wonderful memories.

And a final showing of Wishes……………….

Up next a last look at AKV & (more) breakfast at Boma!

PAD, they say every picture tells a story and yours have done a wonderful job of it.

From Tinkerbell to a sword fight, just wonderful.
Thanks for taking me along for the ride.

Now, where's my picture of Eeyore.
