Our friends Pedro & Laura (and their son Christian) are visiting us and Disney World, and we joined them at Epcot today for lunch in Germany, various rides including Soarin, Test Track, and Frozen (eventually!); we stayed right through to fireworks too!
We also “flew” on Butterflies, as well as taking some photos of them:
We tried to “beat the rush” and visited Epcot today rather than this weekend, with this years Flower & Garden festival just started:
There’s a lot of Butterfly theming this year:
Including some “chalk art” on the ground which had people standing / posing on it for photographs. Amazing to look at the side image and the “proper” front image – no doubt those people would seem to be flying!
It’s getting harder every year to tell the difference between the Flower & Garden Festival, and the Food & Wine event – there were food / drink stalls all around World Showcase, and long queues at a few of them.
Twenty years ago (!) we’d arrived in USA, and just completed our purchase of our first USA home; almost immediately we left and headed south to Walt Disney World (little did we know that we’d eventually live nearby!)
Here are pictures from that trip – all this of course was astonishing for us that, growing up, only knew that Disney was some wonderful place that was so far away, we’d never go there …
