Margaret often used to go to the Crystal Palace at Magic Kingdom to celebrate her birthday, meeting Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, Eeyore and Piglet – and a few days late due to the hurricane, we headed there today with a number of Margarets friends …
We also visited the updated Country Bear Jamboree – twice because it’s a great and fun update with the bears singing well known Disney songs now (like Try Everything) …
It’s always a bit quieter at DisneyWorld before a hurricane comes – some tourists cancel their plans, and some locals are busy prepping … we often head down for a quieter day in the parks, and today we went to Epcot. We got to ride Soarin’ and Ratatouille (when it wasn’t broken) and Spaceship Earth, and met a couple Anna and Elsa; we couldn’t do Nemo because it was broken …
We also had lunch for the first time at Spaceship 220; it’s expensive but we had great service and the theming is interesting …
Yesterday afternoon Margaret & I drove to Epcot with friends Linda & Berch, to enjoy the location and have dinner at the Moroccan restaurant.
When we arrived the park seemed happily quiet and we did a “walk on” to Spaceship Earth! After dinner we rode Ratatouille (which did have a long wait), and both Living With The Land and Soarin’ (where were both near walk-on). We also got VERY wet with a heavy ten minute storm! By the time we’d done Soarin’ it was almost 9pm so we stayed for the fireworks. Photos of course:
