Epcot let the food frenzy begin...

Today we went to Epcot. The wine and food festival is on, so we made sure to have  a light breakfast.... 

first on te agenda was getting a fast pass for Soarin, it was a sell out last time, so we aquired that and then went on a new ride to disney, Nemo's adventure. We boarded a clam shell and went under water.... so to speak, it was kewl tho' they superimposed the characters from nemo onto a fish tank with real fish swimmng around.
this sea horse was posing for me, once you get off the ride there is a huge aquarium to walk around, I think they are trying to step on sea worlds toes lol
outside the ride... another scorching day... this one the hottest so far.
we went on spaceship earth and at the end, they put the pictures they took of us at the beginning of the ride into a story after answering a questionaire. Me and Maddie were in the same car... funny ending!
test track - denied.... twice in a row. last time it was rain that shut us out, this time they are rebuilding it and it wasn't ready yet.
the world show case opens at 11 so we can head over to .... Canada. we watched the mini movie with martin Short bragging about Canada, it's funny when it starts there is snow and the narrater says Canada is always covered in snow.... but Martin cuts him off and says no no no and shows us the real Canada

getting my passport signed by fellow Canadian, The girl at the door was from Calgary. The people that work at the pavillions are from that country.
first food taste, What else from Greece? Greek salad. :-0
Ireland... Guiness beer and Lobster, seafood Fisherman's pie.
then in United Kingdom we went to the Rose and crown pub and ordered beers. Maddie had to sit on the side...
kids wall.... 18 at home but 21 here...
our beer choices...
then in France pastries... Maddie had cheesecake, Dean had Mousse and I had an almond triangle.... YUM
more dessert. It's hard to pass by crepes without getting one, I had chocolate and Maddie had strawberry
New Zealand... we shared a sea scallop with Kumara red curry puree and apple radish salad. so good!
Morocco, this was my fave... a kefta pocket, ground seasoned beef in a pita, Maddie had Baklava.
in the gift shop in Morocco, trying to decide which Nag Shampa brand to buy.
what else... sushi... a really nice piece of it! Spicy hand roll.... goooood
then in America, Starship was playing.... I was a much bigger fan or the Jefferson Airplane part of this band.... so I was disinterested.... but then they played White Rabbit.... and Maddie and flew out of the gift shop, leaving our goods behind for later.... They played White rabbit, perfectly and then don't you want somebody to love!!!! That was awesome.... after that they sang one more song and left the stage, promising to return in another hour.... that wouldn't happen.....
I loved the beer tap for this beer.... the one Dean tried tho was Cherry beer by Samuel Adams and it was really good.... I'll get one next time....
White Rabbit....
then the skies opened and POURED on us..... seriuos rain.... everyone started to run for cover... we ran to this cover and it turned out to be an \italian resteraunt, and when the doors opened the smell was just like my Grandmothers kitchen... so we waited to eat here...... we got in before they were full, and it was AMAZING! dean said it was the best pizza he had ever  had, and my pasta was to die for ! the sauce was so YUMMMMY and the sausage excellant!! Maddie had a pizza too, hers with articokes... we were all so full and didn't want to leave anything on our plates, but the portions were really big!
running in the rain.... still warm out tho.. until the wind picked up.... then it got chilly... but we wanted to see \Illuminations, so we were sticking it out.
inside Via Napoli
our appetizer... same yummy sauce....
the pizza ovens....

when we came out it was even worse......
we hid in the gift shop in Norway.... we saw this crystal castle.....
but after seeing the price those must be diamonds?????
we went on the Norway ride where we were chased by trolls.... when we came out, they had one that seemed to be tamed
the Mexican pavillion, they also had a ride a boat tour thru mexico...
these got out of order.... this was upon entering... Food and Wine festival!!
after the Nemo ride... Bruce got Maddie
hidden mickey...... ok that's it so far.... Friday is a free day, sleep in, play in the pool, eat at TGI' Fridays..... yak at ya later
