The Floss Report – Live from Disney Day 3 “Around the World in 80 Minutes”

Day 3 and we are still going strong. I needed hip replacement, two bones shortened in my legs, and the pads in my feet replaced after all the walking we have done so far… then Erin said, “Lets go to Epcot!”

Epcot is like the entire planet wrapped up in a 3 mile walk around a lake. It has some cool attractions at the start like a history of technology ride and a Nemo adventure that mixes real life aquariums with the cast of Nemo as if they were in the water with the fish.

Then you start the world tour walk visiting such places as Canada, Germany, Japan, and China… Which is where I had my first sampling of Chinese food in Florida. Nothing to worry about Chicago, Florida has got nothing on you in the area of Chinese take out. Still it was a nice taste of home.

I also got to sample life in Europe in a Telephone booth, prayed at a monks temple in Tibet, and even walked the River Thames, all only 20 or feet at all time from hot dog and Funnel Cake vendors.

Epcot is also where Lillian and Sophia got to meet their first Disney stars, Alice and Marry Poppins… They were so excited they could not make out words…

After lunch we left Epcot and headed over to MGM studios. I have to say this is one of my favorite places so far. It’s like a huge Movie Studio lot with tons of Movie related rides, tours, and shops. We ended the Day with a 30 minute tour into the making of movie special effects and dinner at the Sci Fi Drive in, a place were you eat inside a car in front of s huge drive in screen showing clips from 40’s and 50’s movies and TV. How cool is that?

At some point Lilly fell asleep... Ans Erin started the Lilly sleeping collection. SO far there are about 20 or 30 of these pics of Lilly all by herself sleeping by attractions, under Disney characters, and sometimes, juet in the middle of nowhere. Should make a great colelction when we are all done since she seems to need about an hour each day now.

OK, need some sleep now… Goodnight folks.
