Cottage-envy at EPCOT
We love this little cottage in O Canada – I want them to rent it to me for just one night!
I leaf Canada… I LEAF Canada???
I walked away scratching my head over this one…
EPCOT’s Canada pavilion is under rehab, so I am unable to check on the status of the "mystery shoes". Perhaps they will make their triumphant return in December? One can hope!
Return of the shoes! In EPCOT’S Canada
I’m excited! You might not be able to see them but the shoes are bobbing around beneath the waterfall once more. I will break out the Canon and take some video
Beautiful as always – EPCOT’s Canada
Do you think they will sell me that sweet little cabin made of stone? It would be a lovely, Thoreau-like place to live…
Ah, Canada!
Yes, I know – it’s supposed to be "O, Canada!" but I felt like being different and expressing appreciation. I ate too much so I am doing the country walk to trfy and burn some off. Let’s go!

Nanaimo Bar at Epcot Food and Wine Festival gets the listing thumb
nanaimo Bar at Epcot Food and Wine Festival gets the listing thumb, originally uploaded by Erin aka Tink*~*~*.
We’re back at the banana daiquiri memorial trash can, sampling the thing that Mari Mari Quite Contrary told me to taste. It gets the listing thumb because I’m sacrificing myself to the cholesterol gods (the custard layer) for relatively little sweetness in return. It’s good, just expected it to be sweeter. Upside – I can hear Off Kilter loud and clear 🙂

I was sitting on a bench in the Canada section of EPCOT’s World Showcase. A Disney Cast Member came along, sweeping up. Suddenly, he was not using the broom to sweep up garbage any more. He was dunking the broom in a pail of water and using it to draw a Mickey head on the pavement !
You want me to be happy, don’t you?
DON’T YOU? 😉

Canada’s magical mystery shoes – the plot thickens

🙂 Long time readers might remember that I once posted about shoes I’d discovered in the O, Canada! pavilion at EPCOT. I was at Walt Disney World one fine day last spring with my friend Debbie who happened to spot the shoes lying on a rocky ledge into which water from the falls poured. You can click here to see some photos. If you read a few of the comments, you will understand that Disney Cast Members who work in the O, Canada! pavilion seem to know all about the shoes and indicate that they will take the secret to their graves.
By the way, the next time I visited was December, and the shoes weren’t there, but I found another strange item in an out-of-the-way place. I guess you never know what’s going to pop up next in O, Canada!
When comparing pictures in this post to those in the post from last year, you can see that last time the shoes were perched on the craggy ledge of the cliff. However, this time the shoes are bobbing perilously in a shallow pool that has formed on another section of the ledge. How, I wondered, did the shoes get into the pool? Did one of Florida’s exotic water fowl land there and knock them in? Were they transported by human hands? Telepathy? Mice? Yes, mice. Haven’t you seen Cinderella? If they can sew a ball gown, they’d have no problem moving a pair of shoes!
I do think there is something very strange afoot (no pun intended… ok, maybe just a little). What were the shoes doing there in the first place? Was there foul play involved (note I did not say “fowl” play, for that would make two allegedly unintended puns in a single paragraph, and we can’t have that)? How did all those Cast Members happen to show up at my blog MONTHS later to make cryptic remarks and never explain themselves or the secret of the shoes? Are these the SAME shoes I saw last year, or are they a different pair, owned and lost by a different doomed soul whose single misfortune was to have apparently wandered onto the wrong craggy rock!
What do YOU think?
What is the significance of Canada’s magical mystery shoes, and how did they get there?
Are they just a prop – official or unofficial – or are they the actual shoes of a real, live person?
Is it a guest prank? A Cast Member prank? Not a prank at all?
The plot – it thickens! 😀

Canada’s “castle”
What’s inside? I often wonder
Could someone live there?
There’s a suite upstairs in Cinderella’s Castle at the Magic Kingdom now. Every so often, you hear about someone winning a night in the suite; eventually, I guess Disney will open it up for regular stay bookings (although, I don’t know how that would work if you decided to go out at night and return after the park is closed).
Recently, Disney allowed one lucky family to stay overnight at the Haunted Mansion, also in the Magic Kingdom. Can you imagine staying overnight there? I wonder if Disney arranged for things to “go bump” while the family was there? You know, make it extra spooky… heh heh heh!
So, how much longer before other buildings in other parks are selected as overnight treats or else actual, regularly offered accommodations? The first place I thought of was the “castle” in EPCOT’s O, Canada! pavilion. I’ve written about it before – see That “other” Disney castle. It is, after all, modeled after a hotel, the Château Laurier in Ottowa. However, like any other Disney building, it was architected using forced perspective, so the apparent 6 stories are really probably only 3 or 4. Cinderella’s Castle had to be similarly challenged; I bet what looks like two stories on the outside is really only one story on the inside.
Anyhow, I think I would like to stay in Disney World’s “other” castle overnight. And sneak out into the darkness in the dead of night so I can make a raid on the pretzel bread they serve in the Le Cellier Steakhouse nearby! 😀

It’s a Disney day! 🙂
No, it’s not the one in the Magic Kingdom – it’s the one in the Canada pavilion in EPCOT. It’s modeled after a hotel in Ottawa called Chateau Laurier. I think it makes a pretty picture, don’t you?

Mystery shoes in EPCOT’s Canada

🙂 A waterfall splashes down the side of “the Canadian Rockies” in EPCOT. But, hey – what’s that up there on that ledge?
Wow, it’s shoes! Did someone go swimming, perhaps? Or did some Rocky Mountain hiker drop them from on high? Or maybe this is the handiwork of some rather high-spirited Walt Disney World guests. I doubt I’ll ever find out! My friend Deb first spotted them, and then I confirmed it with my 10x optical zoom. Fun stuff!
