How appropriate!Treats in hand, Alex and I found a shaded bench in the U.K. pavilion and sat down to enjoy our selections. With not many other guests around and an unobstructed view of the water, it was a peaceful rest. Alex and I had to giggle that we were staring across at Germany:
Look, you're living a complex life as it is. Honestly, if I'd ask that question trying to make small talk and got that kind of answer, it makes the conversation go a lot better because now I'm full of follow up questions!Don’t even get me started on the panic that overtook me every time a Cast Member asked, “Where are you from?”
“Ehhhh. Well. My hometown is Florida. But I’ve lived in Germany for three years. And am about to move to England.”
I get to about “Lived in Germany” when the CM’s expression turns panicky and the regret over asking appears. They weren’t expecting such a complicated response from a simple question!
This is why I like EPCOT. I tend to get a little bit caught up in the atmosphere and feel of the different countries and it lends itself to relaxing and slowing down a bit. And I'm total type A "gotta go" when it comes to park touring too.Before we knew it, 40 minutes had passed while Alex and I sat and relaxed on that bench. The stream of people coming through the World Showcase started to increase, and I commented in happy contentment that we felt like the only two people in the park not rushing someplace. It shocked me that Alex was willing to put a stopper in our park touring; that’s not normally his style. But Epcot is his favorite park and I think he appreciated the chance to get to enjoy it in a way we hadn’t been able to for many years.
No... you got a picture of both of you together and it's good. Who cares about the background anyway?*Not pictured are the ten other photos I tried to take of us with Germany in the background but failed miserably. I REALLY need to work on my photography skills.*
I like it! Much easier to remember an interesting story than real names and user names.And this is what happens when you all share a funny story on the DIS. It gets repeated to Alex and you become known as the person who did such and such.
That’s how Alex keeps track of everyone.
So fair warning. If you share something hilarious, it will get passed along.
Spaceship Earth was listing 35 minutes and Figment was at 55 minutes!
I'm glad you enjoyed it. I don't think that I'd rave about it to the level that many do, but I'm definitely going to get it if I'm at Le Cellier!All your praise was not unfounded. The dish was delicious; it was very onion-y, and I love onions so I was a fan.
I'm glad you enjoyed your meal there!Everything was delicious and splitting the meal was perfect. It allowed us to try a little of everything and walk away without feeling overly full. I’m not sure if the steak was worth 60 dollars for one person, but for the two of us it was exactly what we hoped for.
Oh wow... makes me wonder if they had any concept of how much the food was even going to cost before going on the trip. I can see that catching someone by surprise if they didn't do their homework and just made ADRs and went.As we were finishing up our meal, a young couple was seated next to us, and they were almost as interesting as the woman at the podium. The girl kept looking at the menu, panicking at the prices. Her and her significant other began checking their bank accounts on their phones and discussing how they shouldn’t have spent all their money earlier in the trip. I guess they forgot about this dining reservation and weren’t prepared for it.
