Continuing with my Buzzy the Slovenly Fly expose...
So we managed to secrete Buzzy past the guards at the International Gate and in to Epcot. From deep inside Nannette's Dooney and Bourke Haunted Mansion bag we heard his sweetened pleas to let him out. Against my stern objections and Nannette's sharpened senses she reached down and unzipped the cherished bag when she realized that it was only a matter of time before Buzzy found her Altoids and started licking them.
Even though we had our bearings Buzzy insisted on leading us around the park. This proved to be an embarrassment as the first thing Buzzy did was fly over to a trash can and say hello to some of the family.
It seemed like each time we passed a trash can (every 30 feet apart!) he felt compelled to check out the scene and partake of the offerings. I tried to get Nannette to give up one of her Altoids to make Buzzy forget about the garbage but she said no dice!
Realizing that Buzzy was hungry we tried to propel him forward by tempting him with food. He stared at the menu a long time trying to make up his mind...

But, being the sensible fly, Buzzy instinctively knew that Popcorn was no side dish for turkey legs so we moved on.
Knowing full well that Buzzy has quite the sweet fang, we tried to tempt him with something sugary....

... but it was not to be as Buzzy was not on the dining plan and could not afford the snack credit. Four dollars for a single cookie was too much even for our free spending little friend.
We passed Italy and Buzzy begged us to make a stop at one of his favorite snack places. To put an end to his whining we reluctantly agreed but we told him he had to be on his best behavior. Excitedly he made a bee line for this:

....and as promised he made a polite inquiry before he went in for the kill.

Having finished his snack Buzzy tried to sneak back stage to see some Cast Member friends
.... but we knew with breath like that they would be in no mood to deal with him. To keep him moving we tempted him with some toys....

But he ignored the boundaries and tried to hop aboard the train in Germany.
Like any cranky toddler, when in doubt, feed them again, so we took Buzzy to the Biergarten with promises of beer and bratwurst.

Of course Buzzy being Buzzy he overindulged in an extra liter or three of beer and we had to drag him off the dance floor when he embarrassed himself in front of the Oom Pa band and planted himself on the Christmas tree during their set.
That's it for today's installment of Buzzy the Slovenly Fly. Tune in for the next episode when we sober him up in time for a rendezvous with Couchy in Mexico!
