Epcot - Evening
While in Morocco we got some more food. My mom and I decided to walk around the shops here while DH and my dad just wanted to sit. They ended up near the smoking section chatting with some of the people over there!
It was also right around now that my friend, who was meeting up with us, got off from work and came to find us! She works at Downtown Disney at the
Lego store. It was great to see her again!
Next up we headed to France, where I found some of my favorite topiaries:
I also got a slushie here from the Flower and Garden booth. We spotted a photopass photographer and decided to get some pics. I headed in to be in the picture and no one else comes to join me right away, so I just got some pics with my drink!
Since we were still on the quest to find all of the topiaries, we stopped by the "romantic couples" ones - Aurora and Phillip and Cinderella and Charming:
In the UK we took a stroll through the tea garden, which was nice:
Then my dad declares that he has to have a dole whip. Since we were eating dinner at Rose and Crown we decided to bypass looking at the rest of the UK and Canada pavilions, go get the dole whip, and check them out on the way back. My dad was very happy to have his dole whip:
While we were in the area we checked out the Oz stuff. I got a picture in the "balloon" with my friend:
And we played some of the carnival games. They were cute little activities and we got stickers for participating.
Then we made our way back to the UK. Canada actually didn't have anything Flower and Garden related - no food booth, no topiaries! So we looked quickly and then headed back to the UK, where they did have a bunch of topiaries:
We then checked in for our reservation at the Rose and Crown. Our reservation was at 7, and we requested an outdoor table with a fireworks view. I've heard this can be extremely hard to get, and sometimes you have to wait for an hour and even then it's not guaranteed. Well, about ten minutes later they call us and lead us to a table right on the railing. The perfect spot!
The food was all very good (except for my friend, whose ground beef was a little too pink for her liking so she got something else), and we had a leisurely meal until Illuminations started. It was incredible to watch it from there. We actually found shards of fireworks by our table when it was over!
A perfect way to end the evening!
