Then there was Epcot…

Friday, August 25th, 2006

Epcot is our family’s favorite of all the parks in DisneyWorld. I know that’s kinda weird and some people think its pretty boring but we all like to explore and learn things about the world we live in. The best part? TEST TRACK!!! woot!

And don’t forget the ‘Drinking Around the World’ game. This is where you start with a beer in Canada and end up passing out sometime between China and Mexico ;o) We did not play this game this time around but trust me, we seriously considered it.

Here are a few photos from Epcot:

…notice on the left there that Dobby found a friend…it’s a Norwegian Troll but we all
thought it looked alot like the house-elf ‘Dobby’ from Harry Potter. Oh,
and guess what else was in Norway? Dale of Norway. MORE KNITTING! YAY!!

I did do some knitting while we were there, mostly while waiting in line for rides and waiting for the plane to board (photos to follow - I’m trying to stretch this out for your guys so you don’t get too bored). I had a couple of movies in my Palm T|X to watch during the flights so I indulged in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back and O Brother Where Art Thou instead of knitting while on the plane ;o)

…with my little eye….a little bit of Disney eye candy ;o)

There were a couple of questions regarding the appearance of handknits at Disney - those pictures were taking while waiting on line for the ‘Expedition Everest’ ride, which is a coaster that takes you through Mt. Everest and you get ‘attacked’ by a Yeti. The wait line brings you through the ‘Bigfoot’ museum as well as a Mt. Everest outpost where you can outfit your party for the trip. The socks and gloves are hanging from the ceiling in the outpost and you can ‘purchase’ them. That is, if you were really going on an expedition and it was really cold (which it was not. In fact, it was the complete utter opposite of cold) and you were really at Mt. Everest.
