Our third park day of our trip to Orlando was to Epcot - right at the beginning of Walt Disney World's Flower & Garden Festival. Normally folks' trips to Epcot mean a lot of food - but during a festival, it means even MORE food!
 |
| Our first stop was the iconic Spaceship Earth ride. |
 |
| Then we headed over to Mission: SPACE (we all rode the easier, "green" version..) |
 |
| After riding the Soarin' Around the World and checking out the SeaBase aquarium, we headed into the heart of the festival and the World Showcase. We started our culinary journey at the Honey Bee-stro. |
 |
| Then we moved on to the Canada and then the United Kingdom. As part of the festival, there were numerous fantastic topiaries around. |
 |
| We saw more character calvacades at Epcot as well, including these princesses in the United Kingdom. |
 |
| There was a beautiful view of Spaceship Earth across the lake from France. |
 |
| I stopped to rest my feet for awhile in Morocco. |

| Italy |
 |
| China |
 |
| Mickey & Minnie! |

| Dad tried a "garden margarita" in Mexico - it literally had lettuce juice in it... 😬 |
 |
| Me and Donald 💙... oh yeah, and Daisy I guess... |

| Winnie the Pooh had his net ready for the butterfly house! |
 |
| To end the evening, we headed back to Germany for dinner at the Biergarten Restaurant. |
This March I went with my family to Orlando for a wonderful vacation. Originally, we were to go in June 2020 as a sales incentive trip my sister earned - but due to COVID, it was rescheduled for this month.
We flew in on a Saturday and my folks picked me up. Our room was not ready yet, so we drove over to Disney Springs and checked out the shopping!
 |
| Mom & I both have braces on our left braces - twins! |
After checking out Disney Springs, we headed to the military resort, Shades of Green, to check into our room. It's a gorgeous property!

This October we decided to down-size and move back out to Chugiak (about 6 miles north of our former home in Eagle River)! We are loving having a bit more land, a one-story home and less house to clean!
