Day 14 - At WDW

April 17 EPCOT and Animal Kingdom


Suzanne made a quick run back to Animal Kingdom for more mugs. She did the Maharajah Jungle Trek again. This time she saw two beautiful peacocks. Then on to to Downtown for a last look. After a quick soup and sandwich from the Earl of Sandwich she returned to Pop Century.

Meanwhile, Jeff and Phil stayed in their room at the resort. Robert stayed at his timeshare.

Mom and I went on to EPCOT, where we had a really full day. We attempted to see (and take photos of all the topiary exhibits; the Purple Martin area; all the gardens; Butterflies on the Go,; Backyard Habitat; Pepper Fire Garden and Extraordinary Orchids. I'm sure I'm not listing everything we saw. It will take days to go through all the photos and videos of this area. We thoroughly enjoyed the Butterfly House and The Urban Farm display and restaurant.

Now it's time for Mexico for some food and a margaritas. Then the boat from Mexico to Germany and back again. It was lovely to see all the pavilions from the lake.

On to Morocco where we spent quite a bit of time enjoying the shops and the buildings.

Next is The American Adventure, in time for a performance by the Voices Liberty singers as well as the show: The American Adventure.

Reflections of China was as enjoyable as always. We got there a bit early so the hostess gave us a history lesson about the building. A quick lunch at the Lotus Blossom Cafe.

We had intended to see the show in France but it was getting late so we headed back to the resort.

On the ride home we got talking to a lady who just moved to the area. Her husband kept putting off coming to the Disney parks and resorts. So she ventured out on her own. A CM in the Downtown area told her to just leave her car in there. Then take the bus to Pop Century and on to EPCOT. She was heading back to Downtown via Pop Century. I suggested she take a few minutes to check out Pop Century since all she saw was the bus stops. She had asked me quite a few questions about the resort. So I offered to show her the main building and walk her over to the Art of Animation. That way she could tell her husband she checked out Downtown, EPCOT, and two resorts in one day. She took me up on it and we had a lovely time showing her the resorts.

The evening was spent sitting outside with Mom, Suzanne and and Phil. Along with another Mai Tia and possibly a Long Island. ....
