France and United Kingdom and Canada - Epcot

Our week celebrating Epcot’s World Showcase has come to an end but not before we visit three countries together, France, United Kingdom and Canada. Our first stop France which is home to some lovely gardens and absolutely wonderful deserts. Really if you do nothing else at France make sure you have at least one yummy treat. But there is more to do in France. I have to admit that there are many films in the World Showcases that do not interest me. Like some of the little ones I will pass on the films but the France film (Impressions de France) is beautiful. I love the French country side and recommend this film (but kids may still be bored) to all. My favorite memory in France happened while I was taking photos of the French posters… I really love those posters. I am shooting away getting close-ups of my favorites zooming out to get the whole pole when suddenly I notice this little pair of Mickey Ears in the bottom of my shot...



Without knowing it I captured a cute little hidden Mickey in France! Let’s now move on to another set of fantastic gardens across the bridge in the UK. I love the gardens in the UK and it is even better when Marry Poppins shows up for photos! For this country my must see and my favorite moment are one in the same … The British Invasion! I just cannot get enough of these guys. Not only do they perform flawlessly the best songs of the Beatles up they also have some very cool costumes. You must see them at least once (they are there all week check the times guide for show times). And occasionally if you catch them at the right time you can get a nice shot with them to make a fantastic vacation memory…



Trust me you will have a great time if you see the British Invasion in the UK just like you will have a fun time being goofy in Canada. Canada is home to a great steak house (if you are of the meat persuasion I hear Le Cellier is a place not to miss) and some primo maple syrup. But there is also a really neat cutout that you must stick your face in and make faces for the camera…



It is so much fun to play around with the cutout that you will find all over the world. I am building quite a collection of my funny face behind Disney cutouts it is almost as fun as taking pictures with the characters.

Well I hope you have had a great time this week touring the World Showcase with me. I am so excited about the upcoming International Flower and Garden Festival and this week just helped me to realize how many good times I have had at Epcot. I would love to hear about your magical memories and must sees at Epcot.

Syrup in Canada

O Canada what great shopping you have! The other day Norwood and I needed more maple syrup and we could have headed to the grocery store like normal folks, but we thought… “Hey let’s see if Canada has any maple syrup?” So we hopped in the car and just 15 minutes later we were in Canada looking at the maple syrup collections. If you need a good maple syrup why not try the Northwest Mercantile in Canada. They have a small selection, but they also have flannel gear, stuffed heads and much more.
