Disney Continued

If you thought that was the last of my insignificant ramblings about our week-long vacation then you were sorely mistaken. But I promise I will try to condense my thoughts. Ha! We'll see if that actually pans out though.



The famous icon: Disney's giant golf ball



Epcot was probably our greatest adventure. There was so much to do and way too much to see. It was nice to visit 10 countries in 12 hours :) There were so many ideal places for pictures, but here are a few that we loved...

Our ode to China


France was next on our destination list of Epcot countries and I think we embodied the French perfectly as naive Americans.


I think we probably failed to capture the beauty that is France, but as ignorant young people who have spent too many hours watching movies with stereotyped french people, we did quite well..haha. Wearing the beret was fun. We also discovered we have a fondness for hats.


The girls indulged me with a picture on a scenic Italian bridge.


Now I know these next few pics aren't essentially "Disney" in essence, but this was what happened to us when we had to stand in line (which claimed to have a 20 min. waiting period) for an hour. Luckily for us, the building was air conditioned or we would have gone crazy. Unluckily for those around us, we still did go crazy.


It started out nicely enough...slightly silly with nothing but exaggerated smiles and bunny ears, but that didn't last long.

We were easily entertained at the 50 minute mark. We found ourselves, especially hilarious. In hindsight though...not so much--mostly just plain ridiculous.



At 60 minutes, we discovered we weren't really that funny and gave being serious a try. It turned out a little too severe for Disney World though.


By the time we got on the ride, we were tired of taking pictures, thus leading to our lack of photographic evidence of this "Viking ride." It was shame that these slightly crazy pictures were all we took with us from Epcot's Norway.




At Disney's Hollywood Studios, Andy got pictured with every one's favorite Star Wars villains.


Darth Maul is a frightening foe...


But everyone knows it's Darth Vader that is the quintessential Star Wars nemesis and Andy seems to agree by the smile on his face.



He also stepped into the role of Indian Jones and it made me swoon. It was then that I thought it was quite coincidental that Andy is Indy with an "a."

How dashing, right?



On August 22, we celebrated our 3rd anniversary and celebrated in style. We ate with Pooh (no, not that kind...you know, the other one). It was our first day and after nearly 12 hours of walking all over the Magic Kingdom and waiting in lines for half the day, I wish we could say that we looked stellar...but, we didn't.



As it turns out, humidity makes us pretty disgusting.






See, I told you it was this Pooh. I mean, I don't think they'd be that happy if it was the other kind..haha.
