The family is here and we are looking for dinner. I could go for som Floribbean cuisine. How about you?

Is it me, or did the Bubba Gump Shrimp used to be cuter?
I honk they changed the costume – he’s looking chunky
Hidden Mickeys in the carpet
This is REALLY a long trek from the elevators! But you get to look at some nice hidden Mickeys on the way.
Creepy chairs at the Boardwalk
Some folks like these chairs – I think it’s sort of creepy (and even creepier if you sit in them – the horror!)
Moody skies over EPCOT’s Japan
As symbolism goes, nothing in all of Disney World speaks to me quite as eloquently as the torri gate at EPCOT’s Japan. It marks the transition from the material world to the spiritual world. Today’s sky only adds to the ambiance.
Walking into EPCOT
The family won’t be here from NY for several hours so I am heading intoEPCOT during the wait. Lots cooler than the last time I was here!
Oops, I did it again
I know I was just here at the beginning of the month. But my favorite youngest brother invited me. What’s a woman to do ? 😉
VIDEO: Crossing the Sanibel Causeway at sunset
I learned a valuable lesson last Friday evening as I was crossing the Sanibel Causeway at sunset – a dirty windshield is far more visible when the glare of full sunlight is not present! I turned on the radio and got a funky blues pop tune, which seemed to match the mood of the sky. Enjoy 🙂

Starving on Sanibel
I keep calling it "Amy’s"
Someone was bored
I see someone found a way to amuse themselves – just beneath the lighthouse in the parking lot
Footpath to the beach
Lots of paths, both man- made and critter made
Amazing Sanibel skies
The sky is a lovely shade of blue today
Causeway shot
It’s a beautiful day – the weather has broken and we’ve got a delicious cold front. Keep on mind that "cold" is relative here Florida
Lighthouse Beach hike on Sanibel
Out this early with Audubon on a hawk hike!

The birthday girl at Morgan House
That’s a Morgan House rum punch – it’s delicious 🙂
Halloween deco at Morgan House, Fort Myers
We are having difficulty finding a table here. There are lots of empties but newly all of them are "reserved"…
Today’s Adventure: ZOMBICON! Downtown Fort Myers
It’s Jacque’s birthday and we are Downtown Fort Myers for dinner. ZOMBICON is happening at Harborside Convention center and the streets are shut down – the better for the zombies to chase us through. Let’s go!
VIDEO: #epcot30 Illuminations
A special edition of ILLUMINATIONS: REFLECTIONS OF EARTH was presented at EPCOT in Walt Disney World on the evening of that theme park’s 30the anniversary on October 1st 2012. Here is some really, REALLY primitive video of the event. The show ran 18 minutes long with the extra tribute fireworks, which reverberated in the ears and chest, and scared the heck out of the local flock of ducks (at about 17 minutes, 41 seconds, you’ll see a few of them leaving). We had the EXCELLENT harvest moon alongside the show too, dancing in and out of clouds that flashed frequently with heat lightning. It was nice of Disney to arrange that for us 😉 Hope you all enjoy.

From the Florida Local kiosk at EPCOT
The Food and Wine Festival at EPCOT has installed a Florida Local kiosk right beside American Adventure. Management is giving them an award at moment and videoing it. The guys at the Florida Local kiosk are really nice and friendly. Drop by if you are in the area!
Fife and drum corps – American Adventure
We just had ravioli in Italy and something in Poland – walking a friend back to International Gateway.

Good night, Boardwalk
Another terrific day hanging out with friends – so lucky 😉 Good night, everyone!
Exiting Tutto Gusto
We can hear Sugar Ray playing from American Adventure. Going to find a spot for the special Illuminations show in honor of EPCOT’s 30th Anniversary.
Tutto Gusto theming
We are at a table by the kitchen, and his lion is on the wall.
We’re baaaaack
We liked I so much for lunch, were back for dinner!
The American Adventure – promised land
We know our reward for marching up here will be AIR CONDITIONING!
The view from Belgium in EPCOT
Morocco looks gorgeous against the amazing blue Florida sky. It’s really humid but we found some shade.
The scallops from New Zealand
WELL worth it! Wish this was available as a full meal. Had the Chardonnay too.
Weather coming into EPCOT
It was raining in Animal Kingdom earlier – guess its coming over here now
Read and heed in EPCOT
I’ll spare you the lecture. Just don’t feed the animals ok? Thanks!
Where art thou, Duffy?
Our friend Ed surprised us today, and now he is horribly broken up about missing Duffy
Brutalizing Donald Duck
This is just so wrong!
Heading into La Cava
No, don’t try to stop us!

Should reach Germany In a jiffy. Then it’s on to Italy for a little wine cellar action for lunch 🙂
Happy Birthday. EPCOT!
Handing out maps and buttons at the International Gateway – EPCOT is 30 years old today!
Getting closer to EPCOT
Approaching the International Gateway from Disney’s Boardwalk, you can look over your shoulder and see some pretty sights.
The boat from Disney’s Hollywood Studios
I am passing over the canal that leads from Studios to the Swolphin boat dock. Here comes the Friendship boat!
Java Bar breakfast at the Walt Disney World Swan
Late and slow start this morning – I blame Kimonos last night. Diet is all shot to hell. I will atone when I get home.
Salmon salad at the Dolphin
I asked for the "Caper cream" on the side because I have never had it before and it might ruin my life if they put it on my fish!
Friendship boats at the Walt Disney World Dolphin
I am headed over there now to see what tempts me for dinner
Passing through Disney’s Boardwalk
Need to think about a light meal (confession: I had a Mickey bar) and then it’s on to Kimonos for fun with friends
Walking in from Disney’s Boardwalk
Sometimes this is faster than staying on the bus when you’re staying at the Swolphin.
My cue to Leave the magic Kingdom
Since I have been there and done that a few times over, I won’t be staying for Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween party. Heading back to hotel, meeting up with friends again later for some evening frivolity at Kimonos.
Paging Mr Morrow…
… Mr Tom Morrow!
Relaxing on the TTA
Aka Peoplemover
Guess where we are?
On line at Haunted Mansion
Line is moving quickly, especially with friends to visit with.
Big Thunder sky
Easy Fast Pass time, good ride. We are now in search of air conditioned attractions
Captions, please! In Adventureland
Bonus points if you know where this was taken – and keep it clean, please!
Wet kiddie play area in Storybook Circus
Some adults are enjoying this too.
The Barnstormer is back in business!
This wasn’t open last time I visited Walt Disney World – good to see it operating again!
Yep, Fantasyland Station is OPEN
Props piled up at Fantasyland Station – oh Ed excuse me, that’s actually passenger luggage 😉
Storybook Circus rest stop
A shady place to rest, eat lunch, fill your water bote, or get Fast Passea for Dumbo and Barnstormer.
Storybook Circus, Magic Kingdom
So far, the Big Top appears to be just a huge merchandising area. I can hear the railroad trains going by – maybe there’s a stop here?
New Magic Kingdom trash can art
I hear it’s opening day (soft) for the Big Top…
Construction continues at “the new Fantasyland”
Because what the MK REALLY needs is more character meets LOL
Defeating the villains
A couple of little sorcerers were entrances by this as I walked by
Part of the show at the Magic Kingdom?
The crane started lowering this thing at the end of the stage show – and I thought for a minute that characters were being lowered to the stage! That would actually be cool and innovative, integrating construction into the story – get on it, Disney!
More Magic Kingdom Halloween
These guys appear every year. I don’t know why, but I don’t find that irritating the way I find the lame Food and Wine deco repeats irritating. I guess these guys just aren’t lame 🙂
I did – I DID hear “clang clang clang”!
I never see guests aboard this thing. Is it even allowed any more? I think I rode it on e, back in the 80s
Are you a sorcerer ?
You’re needed at the Magic Kingdom! I like the way this sign looks like it has been here for years and years.
Magic Kingdom all decked out
You think maybe it’ Halloween? I hear clang clang clang goes the trolley, maybe… Going to investigate!
Walt Disney World Swan bus stop activity
No matter how experienced on is at touring Disney, stuff happens. One blister can ruin your vacation, so you should always have moleskin available. This has been a public service announcement LoL
Bellvue Room
Post-Illuminations Libations
Late night illuminations
We’re standing in France to view the 10 PM presentation of Illuminations.
Monday’s lunch will be here
Italian tapas- like plates, and the desserts look to die for.
The saddest sight in the world
Empty sangria pitcher at Via Napoli in EPCOT. Awesome meal !
Open wide at EPCOT’s Via Napoli
Via Napoli has the best pizza ovens LOL
Shelling at Via Napoli
Some of my friends will get that caption, and some will not 😉
My favorite Disney Princess
I love Merida because she does not believe she is helpless, and she is not single-mindlessly pursuing a prince. She knows how to be happy into herself.
EPCOT’s Fountain of Nations does a dance
Going to duck into MouseGear to get to Festival Center. Have I mentioned that it is HE’LL hot?
Hipster Mickey
Met more friends up at the African Outpost and walked them down front. Cooling of in a shop, then heading to Festival Center. It’s hella HOT – I may require a Mickey Bar.
Waiting on a friend in EPCOT’s Italy
I know lots of people who are at Walt Disney World this weekend and I hope to see all if the at least once!
Heading to the Walt Disney World Boardwalk
Walking into EPCOT from the Swan is quicker than taking a Friendship boat. Yes, the sky really IS that blue 🙂
Oasis at the Walt Disney World Swan
I have fond memories of taking refuge in the Swan’s courtyards to get some work done during a conference. So relaxing!
View from the Walt Disney World Swan
I am going to chill and catch some lunch, then head into EPCOT to find the gang. Stay tuned!
I have arrived in Walt Disney World
I took a side trip to Banana Republic, where I got a FREE dress to wear to my niece’s Sweet 16. Now I am finally on property at Walt Disney World – wheeee!
Road trip? Guess where I’m going?
There’s a hint in the photo….
