Easter Trip to USA, April 2007

After ATX, we headed back to Disney to the Animal Kingdom Lodge, where we had dinner reservations at Boma. This was also excellent. I'd read positive reviews online and it definitely lived up to expectations. It was a buffet of African-themed dishes and we just ate ourselves silly. (Definitely book ahead though; I heard the hostess quoting somebody a 90-minute wait time.)

The next day we headed to Epcot, which neither of us had ever visited before. We went straight to Soarin', which was... a big disappointment for me. I kept waiting for it to get exciting and it never did. The only buzz I had was from frantically inhaling during the orange grove segment; I'd heard they pumped in orange smell. (They didn't.) It was a massive letdown. Test Track, however, was pretty damn sweet. We liked that one.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present Captain Jack Sparrow.

I found Epcot pretty boring, to be honest. I guess that's why they allow you to drink! Here's Snookums enjoying a beer in "Italy."

Here's me and Spaceship Earth, which is much, much smaller than I'd imagined my whole life.

Snookums enjoys some baklava in "Morocco."

Gay Paree!

Me and Dopey. I love a fellow with stickey-outey ears!

Me, Dopey, and Snow White. She's so pretty.

Snookums and King Louie. What monkeys!

Snookums poses with a catch in the "Finding Nemo" attraction.

And here he is building molecules. Some Dad and little kid watched with fascination as he finished his structure. "So what is it?" I asked. "Ethanol." Now there's a science lesson.

And that was pretty much it for Epcot. Next stop: Gatorland!
