Dining with the Earl at Downtown Disney
If you’re going to blow your diet, then this is the way to do it!
To join Woody and Buzz
I already have Woody and Buzz hanging out at my desk at home; time for Jessie and Bullseye to join them 🙂
a Dowtown Disney MUST shopportunity
The Nieceling has never been to Tren-D. I know, shocking. Fortunately, Auntie Tink is here to remedy the situation.
Now entering Heaven
Going to eat at Downtown Disney
Lily, aka “The Toddler Of Terror”

There is a place deep in the Pangani Forest of Disney’s Animal Kingdom where mere mortals fear to tread; where unspeakable horrors lurk in the bush; where destruction and mayhem breed. Here, in the heart of the lowland gorilla tribe, we find *cue scary music* LILY, THE TODDLER OF TERROR!
In a rare surge of generosity, Lily and her mom granted an exclusive photo interview to My Mobile Adventures *~*~* this past spring. Let’s take a peek and see what Lily had to say:
Well, the official portion of the interview was over right then and there. However, through the miracle of modern-day paparazzi-ism, My Mobile Adventures *~*~* is proud to bring you this (not very) exclusive video of the Toddler of Terror, foraging around with her mama. Take it away, Lily!

Continuing to share the random video clips I found on my camera – here’s the Magic Kingdom marching band entertaining the crowd in Liberty Square. Have a wonderful and safe holdiay! 🙂

Just doing some camera maintenance and found a bunch of videos on both the Canon and my Nokia phone. Here’s some video I took of my new favorite parade at Walt Disney World. Prior to this parade having made it’s debut, my favorite had been Continue reading Move It, Shake It, Celebrate It!

The prompt for Photo Friday today is “shade”. There’s LOTS of shade in and around the theme parks in Orlando. Here’s just a taste… Continue reading Photo Friday: SHADE in Orlando
See ya real soon
A last look at Disney’s Old Key West
What a pretty, laid back resort this is. I hope to have the opportunity to stay here again some time.
The salmon at Tony’s in the Magic Kingdom is a hit
It was fresh and flaky, and prepared with a subtle orange dressing. Loved it!
Time to await my chariot – Goodbye, Magic Kingdom!
The sooner I get on the road, the sooner my next trip will happen. Just trying to look at the bright side 🙂
Monorail crossing
Making my way to the bus back to OKW
Sadly, I must do this now
Not ready to leave yet but duty calls
Walt Disney World Railroad Tour
We are stuffed from Tony’s and decided to take a turn around the Magic Kingdom on the Walt Disney World Railroad.
Dees ees-ah da night, eets-ah beautiful night…
We want to color! But we have no coloring sheets, just crayons.
The walls are white… LOL!
Taste of Italy at Tony’s, Magic Kingdom
We liked this – and we grew up Italian! Three thumbs up 🙂
Fresh and Tasty – Tony’s Calamari
It’s lunchtime in the Magic Kingdom
I think the last time I ate at Tony’s was 1985!
Boy they sure party a lot in Disney’s Magic Kingdom
Here comes that pumpin’ partyin’ parade again!
My BF <3
Fantasyland in the Sky
It’s starting to be a zoo up here in Fantasyland. We cannot cut through the castle for some reason so we have to go around.
I’m wishing….
Kiss The Girl!
Cruising through Fantasyland
For your safety…
…Please hold on to the moving handrail
Let’s Get This Party Started at Magic Kingdom
The view from my seat with Chez Bro and SIL, just outside the Plaza Restaurant in the Magic Kingdom
Bye bye Old Key West
Tried to drive to Magic Kingdom to meet Chez Bro and SIL but there was heavy traffic due to triathlon. Came back and dumped car at Old Key West again and took the looooong bus ride the round-about way. Finally in the park!
Butterfly at the EPCOT exit
As I blog this, I’m passing under the magnolias again. Mmmmmm, magnolias. Ok, headed for the bus now… Bye EPCOT
Tronorail Sunset
I stood here and prayed for a lot of things.
"Please God, let the colors last until the monorail comes. And please God, let it be the Tronorail. "
I think God likes me 🙂
Once Upon A Dream
I know you; I walked with you once upon a dream…
Found the sun just in time for sunset
It’s going down over Disney’s Yacht Club and sending a last few rays into EPCOT’s France. I expect it to get colder as soon as it sets – it’s quite chilly already!
Our reward for getting drenched in Walt Disney World
It’s like God goes, "Awww, we got you all wet – here’s something pretty for ya." 🙂

Review: by-the-slice pizza at EPCOT’s Via Napoli
Don’t do it. If I had any free hands, this would have gotten a big thumbs DOWN. However, it is raining on and off and no one has been by to squeegee the outdoor tables. Not wishing to put my plate down in a puddle, I took cover in that alcove near the stairs with the lady’s head on the bannister.
The "crust" – and I use that term loosely, since there isn’t anything remotely "crusty" about it – is bready, which is typical of Sicilian-style pizza. Neapolitan-style pizza does not seem to be available at the window. Since there’s nothing crispy going on anywhere on this thing, the "crust" is a FAIL. If you were expecting more than half a teaspoon of tomato sauce (I was), then you will be disappointed. The cheese at least is pretty fresh.
They are clearly making the take out window pizza on the cheap – VERY cheap. I won’t be doing this again unless someone – ok MANY someones tell me that it has improved.
FAIL
Wise counsel from Walt Disney
There’s a little refurb going on in EPCOT’s China
Hollywood juniper outside EPCOT’s Norway
This is planted near the topiary troll (trollpiary!). It is feathery and pretty and it smells good too!
If a Disney fan decides to get a dog…
…Shouldn’t they get a White Shepherd? And name it Bolt?
Vinyl is back
I like this one – I grew up with vinyl "albums"
This is the REAL Tinker Bell
The original pixie attitude LOL
Pixar’s “Cars” stars in topiary
It’s been fun attending the Flower and Garden Festival on both the first and last weekends of the show. This area evolved quite nicely since that day back in March when I first saw it. Good job, Disney!
Vinyl is back
I like this one – I grew up with vinyl "albums"
It’s t-shirt time in Mouse Gear
Still raining, but more gently now. Let’s go browsing and find amusing things in MouseGear.
Taking cover in the EPCOT Festival Center
It’s coming down again. I hope it’s not super-freezing inside. I didn’t get soaked, but I’m still damp enough to feel it.
Uh-oh – here comes the rain again!
I think we’re in for another round, and not the sunshower variety, either.
EPCOT drummer dudes
I am on my way to the festival center and stopped to watch these guys perform. They were about as loud as the thunder!
And what’s freakier than sun-der showers in EPCOT?
Marvel Comics merchandise for sale in EPCOT!
Well, it was only a matter of time
Tow Mater Towing And Salvage
Found out the next batch of speakers are at 4:00 PM – looking for my brother!
It’s just a giant character meet
Disappointed butout of the rain
Where in EPCOT Am I?
Storm clouds are forming. The air is by turns stagnant or breezy but still hot, hot, hot. Chez Bro called and said he’s going down to The Art Of Disney store so I’ve sought air conditioning… guess where?
Spiritual Gate in EPCOT’S Japan
I admit a certain fascination with the whole concept of a gate that marks a sacred space and may even be a portal to worlds beyond….
Free flower seeds from EPCOT’s Butterfly Garden
Two cast members at the entrance to the butterfly garden were handing out free seeds. Mine are California zinnias – not sure if there’s more variety than that but I’m happy to have them no matter what they are.
Lunch in EPCOT’s Morocco
Chair-crobats at EPCOT’s France
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…
Bambi and the gang in the Butterfly Garden
EPCOT’s butterfly garden features Bambi topiary characters this year. Thumper is looking especially cute these days 🙂
Natural trellis inside the EPCOT Butterfly Garden
This is a nice touch and probably very easy to make from materials that can be found rather than bought. Me likey 🙂
More Freebies from EPCOT’s Flower and Garden Festival
This is GoGo Squeeze – squeezable, no sugar added apple sauce. They’re handing them out free on the Rose Walk, so head over there if you are in EPCOT right now and interested in apple sauce!
Butterfly Garden Water Feature
It is pretty hot inside the Butterfly Garden enclosure. It’s made of a breathable mesh but there’s something metalic about it that seems to draw the heat. This water feature provides for a soothing bacground gurgle.
Butterfly Garden mix
EPCOT Fountain Show begins
It’s a breezier day today than it has been. Hoping that means less impact from the heat than the last few days.
Getting my Beverly fix
Yeah I know, I know – it’s weird to like Beverly. But I do! No idea when I will be back, so gotta gotta fix now
Toy Story Topiary
Between the magnolias blooming near the bag check, the jacaranda blooming near Spaceship Earth and this guy exuding strawberry goodness, the front entrance to EPCOT is just an olfactory smorgasbord. Well done, Disney 🙂
“Let The Memories Begin!”
I like these banners – the colors are soothing, as is the whole shady stroll into EPCOT from the bus stops. I also tend to like anything with the geosphere pattern on it. It’s the EPCOT icon, after all!
Dear @DisneyParks – more recycling bins, please!
Sometimes I have to carry an empty bottle around Walt Disney World for a good, long while before finding a recycling bin. I love that you do this and I that you would wish you would do it MORE. Thanks!
Pixar’s 25th Anniversary Weekend
We picked up maps and brochures at EPCOT last night for Pixar’s 25th Anniversary Celebration. I just remembered they were in my"safari" bag, so I’m going to check it out while riding to the park. looks like there will be country-appropriate character meets around the World Showcase and some Pixar animators holding speaker sessions.

Back to La Cava
I’ve cut myself off but I’ll hang out with the gang and close the place
“Mrs Brown you’ve got a lovely daughter…”
Dinnner from the American Adventure
We had so much guacamole and etc. at La Cava, I feel it’s time for a prudent dessert. But I wish it was a la mode….
STILL pouring in EPCOT
We are waiting it out…
Gimmee Shelter at EPCOT’s Italy
It decided to storm as we were on line for Herman’s Hermits. We have sought shelter under the portico in Italy.
We are headed to Herman’s Hermits in EPCOT
To-go cup from La Cava….
Ordering in – La Cava del Tequila at EPCOT
They don’t serve the appetizers they used to so we are forced to import them from counter service.
“Mecca” at Epcot
We are at La Cava – of course!
On the way to Mecca
Yes, EPCOT’s Germany sells an “adult slushie”
This here is a Lossberg Lemonade. it’s got a cherry liquor running through it. Refreshing!
The Walt Disney World Adult Slushie Tour
Here’s a Grey Goose slushie from France. we are headed to Germany after this for a Lossberg Lemonade 🙂
It’s tough to be him
Yakitori duck
Hah! You thought that was what I ordered, didn’t you? Fooled ya 😉
Time for lunch!
@SpottedMoose Heading Guess Where to do Guess What?
I smell strawberries!
And now I’m headed over there to smell the jacaranda.
Our chariot to EPCOT pulls into the station
Love the color of the Tronorail – and after all this time, it’s still a thrill to see it 🙂
Sista Sufferagette!

Wow talk about a successful "point and pray" shot – castle AND Astro Orbiter in one swell foop!
Gratuitous rose shot from the Magic Kingdom
Spring time in the Magic Kingdom
Heading through the Rose Garden, which is in full bloom. It looks and smells heavenly, a sharp contrast to my last trip to theWorld back in March.
Get a hug from Mickey Mouse!
Doesn’t it look like he’s ready to hug us all? love this parade more and more each time I see it.
Attn: @DisneyParks – this is VERY disappointing!
What a shame that Disney decided the world needed yet another character meet. They deleted the actual THEATER to make room for it. This sign is therefore erroneous; there’s no theater inside.
The theater was a respite from the heat and the crowds and I am sure many will miss it. I am also sure you’ll make lots more revenue off PhotoPass for pics of hot, sweaty, cranky tourists who no longer have that little corner of the world into which they can escape. Bummer! 🙁
Magic Kingdom refurb continues
This is in the bus stop area on the park side of the bus lane (as opposed to the lagoon side). A little let down at the lack of pithy Walt quote on the sign
Hooray – Magic Kingdom!
Zero delay getting in – people entering but not throngs. Gonna be a nice day 🙂 First order of business – I am well-hydrated from my coffee-fueled homework frenzy of a morning, so you know what that means…. LOL 😉
Today’s Agenda: Magic Kingdom
I had the misfortune of checking email and finding that I had a mission to complete which was heretofore unknown. So I did that and now I am at the bus stop waiting to get to the Magic Kingdom. My compatriot is already there and has declared it "not crowded". Hopefully it will remain that way for a while.
See ya real soon!
Cat Cora’s Greek lasagne
This was really good but I could only eat half of it. There is a child-sized portion on the kid’s menu that would have been much better.
Kouzzina appetizer – three thumbs up
Who stole the rest of the crayons!
Our restaurant only has blue crayons.
