EPCOT
Tuesday - January 22nd 2008
Today we spent the day at EPCOT. After we arrived we had breakfast at
The Sunshine Seasons
in The Land
pavillion. I ordered the breakfast platter with potatoes
and scrambled eggs, while my girlfriend had a cinnamon bun.

After breakfast we did Soarin' Over California and Test Track twice. Before
World Showcase opened, we did some shopping and got some pins. Actually we got
addicted to Disney pins and bought a lot of them during our stay.

Finally World Showcase opened. Our journey around the world started in Mexico,
where we did the Gran Fiesta Tour and then we bought two Strawberry
Daiquiries. On our way to Germany we made quick stops at the shops of the
Norway and China Pavilions.

In Germany we enjoyed two glasses of a wonderful cold German beer. We have to
admit that we missed the strong German and Austrian beers in the United States
and so we had to get one here. Our drinking journey around World Showcase
continued in Italy, because there we joined a wine tasting.

Since it was already noon, we decided to have lunch at the
Tangierine Cafe
again, and like last time we ordered the Veggie Platter. In France we took a
break and watched Impressions De France. Afterwards we moved on to the United
Kingdom.

In the
Rose & Crown Pub
we met a nice guy from Olrlando. He told us that he was a comedian and that he
came nearly every week to EPCOT to enjoy a British beer in the pub.

Later we watched a marching band from the Colonial times in front of the
American Pavillion. Unfortunately the pavillion with its attraction was closed
due to refurbishments and so we went to the Mitsukoshi Department Store in the
Japan Pavilion.

Today we had booked a table for an early dinner at
Tutto Italia, a beautifully themed Italian restaurant, in the Italy Pavillion. After
waiter brought us to our table at the window, we ordered our drink and
entrees. I had the Pasta Marinara with Mozarella balls and Claudia ordered
Canneloni. The food was very good, but a bit pricy.

After dinner we spent the rest of the day in the Future World area of the
park. There we did Test Track and Spaceship Earth again, before we left EPCOT.
