Where's Remy?

It's been a great day in EPCOT so far. Great weather, fantastic food and short lines. We are finishing up our rounds with milk chocolate creme brulee and kir royales at the Paris booth. Bon Apetit!

Goodbye EPCOT!

Little chef!!

I just met Remy!! I was really hoping he would make an appearance during our lunch. Very well done. He sniffs around, stretches tall and makes little talking noises. I think I was more excited than all of the children surrounding us. Yay!!!

Gratin. Sooo good!

At Chefs de France

Allo!

Just bought a wooden spoon in France to add to my collection. Now we are waiting by the fountain for our reservation time at Chefs de France. I have had worse Saturdays!

Beautiful day @ EPCOT!

Why can't Disney refill their supply of passholder pins? According to the CM, they've been out for weeks!

Day 3: zzzzzz....

8:00 came. 8:00 went. We did not make it in time to ride Toy Story Mania during the Extra Magic Hour. This is why we don't usually do anything after the parks! Oh well. Packing up now while trying to figure out where to go. Any suggestions?

Good Night!

We left EPCOT (early?!?) to go meet Joe's friend Brad at the Wave for drinks. Just got back and need to get to Hollywood Studios @8 to ride Toy Story Mania.

Dinner

My shrimp- standard fare
Joe's pork- awesome
Service- quite disappointing
Overall rating- sort of a let down by Disney standards

Flatbread- not so good. Let's hope that the main course is better!!

Mickey on my dashboard

After dinner, we parked the car and went to our room. We are lucky enough to have gotten a room near the bus stop and front desk. I set up a lime green Mickey in the windowsill and took a few room pics. Now, maybe a quick dip in the pool? Stay tuned!

Yay!! Day 1: arrival!

We are here! We pulled into the All Star Movies around 8:30pm. Super friendly CM Brian checked us in, then we went to the food court for pepperoni pizzas.

We're off! I have the obligatory lime green mickeys on my dashboard identifying myself for my fellow DIS-ers. WDW here we come!

Hi all! First post to my live blog. Heading straight to WDW after work. Stay tuned!
