Florida trip Pt.4 : Epcot - Park so large, it needed its own entry

Disney, finally!

Phil and I actually made it to all of Disney's four theme parks (water parks exlcuded) and I think he's a little proud of that fact LOL! Epcot was undoubtedly our favorite park as there were many things to see (more than to actually ride) and don't even get me started on all the different cuisines to be had! We spent an entire day at Epcot and saw dazzling displays of fireworks at night.

Epcot's famous silver globe greeted us the moment we stepped foot into the park. OK, I lie...actually we could see it from the parking lot. *grins*

Yes, what is a visit to Disney World without donning a pair of (free) Mickey ears?

The China Pavilion

We saw Chinese acrobats and a longish footage about the beauty of China (including Hong Kong) and very certainly saw Feng Shui trinklets. Did not see a Chinese buffet, however. XD

The miniature terracotta army display at the China Pavilion was an interesting exhibit, and it was very much a see-no-touch sort of thing :(

Ah...je'taime Paris! This is part of the France Pavilion where they had shops selling what France is famous for. Can you guess? Perfumes and pastries!!

See what I mean? You can not go to France and not eat an eclair. ;)

This was humongous too, btw.

When in Rome, you eat gelato!! OK, technically, the backdrop of the Italy Pavilion is set in Venice, but come on, I wanted to use that line :P Unfortunately, Phil moaned it wasn't authentic gelato. Honestly, I wouldn't know the difference :P


BRATWURST, SAUERKRAUT, MUSTARD BUN!!

This was the highlight of the Germany Pavilion--or Epcot, as far as I was concerned because this was the best bratwurst-sauerkraut-mustard combination I have ever, ever, ever, ever had the pleasure of stuffing into my mouth!! Oooh! I'd go back just for it! 

Do you see the size of that thing?!?!?

(Still in the Germany Pavilion, btw)

In Meh-hee-koh, we drink Margaritas and eat long, long churros! Damn right!! As much as I hate cinnamon, the churros was aweeeeesome! Don't ask what I was doing holding his hand commando style.

In (the) Japan (Pavilion), you get sushi and Pokemon aaaaand....wine with real gold flakes. I'm not kidding and that's why I took this picture so you can't prove otherwise mwuahahah! This was amazing, and I was tempted to buy it, as useless as it can be for me :P Personally, I'd rather wear that gold, if you know what I mean ;)

When in Norway---hey, who messed up my Viking helmet?! 

(It was the guy below *grr!*)

Phil: "Mmmmmmmmmm!"

I kinda forgot what that cocktail was.
