Day 4: Part IV – Frozen Fireworks
After our mediocre meal, we headed further into the France area in search of macarons, which we love so dearly. We’d never had the macarons from EPCOT’s France, but mom went to Paris a few years ago and brought them back and we fell in love!
After we found them and bought them for later on, we headed over to Morocco. I was on a mission. I wanted henna! I didn’t even know they did henna in Disney until I saw Kristen (disney_frump on instagram) post a picture of her arm. She was in Disney the same time we were. I thought hers was so gorgeous I wanted to get one too! So to Morocco we went!
We wandered around the entire pavilion until we stumbled upon a woman holding a henna bag!
I got mine done first, I went with Live I think? Then mom got a flower. The woman who did our henna was named Jennifer and I asked her a lot of questions about henna, how long she’s been doing it, how she got her job with Disney, how did she learn? She was awesome and I loved talking with her. And she did a fabulous job with our henna!
I posted this picture of my henna on instagram.
Mom’s Flower!
Us and Jennifer!
We said goodbye to Jennifer and made our way out of Morocco. We wandered around World Showcase stopped at all the pavilions on the way.
In Japan we were walking out of a shop when we stumbled up this cart. And I started talking with the CM, Haru, working and he convinced me to buy one of these and give it a try. I couldn’t decide which flavor to try so I asked him which was his favorite and he told me that in Japan they only have original and Lemon, all these other flavors aren’t available, I thought that was crazy. So I went with the original.
He had tried to describe it to me, it wasn’t soda but it wasn’t juice. He described it as yogurt-y but when I tasted it it wasn’t like that either. It was kind of like very mild lemon juice that was a little citrus-y. I didn’t end up drinking the whole thing but I did drink most of it.
We wandered through the rest of the showcase and head out of International Gateway and we went back to DHS to watch the frozen fireworks.
When we were walking in one of the security guards saw my shirt (which says my university name on it, hence the crown) and start telling me how one of the guards is from the city my school is in, but I guess he had just gone somewhere to deal with something.
We stayed at the end of the street, right near the main gates so we could get out quick once the show was over.
We couldn’t see any of the show, but I think we could see a bit of one of the jumbo-trons but we weren’t too concerned. Mom just really wanted to see the fireworks.
After a few minutes we decided we’d head outside of the park and watch the fireworks from the bus stop so we wouldn’t get caught up in bus traffic. This actually made for a great viewing point.
I love fireworks in general so I enjoyed this, but I didn’t really watch the whole show or experience it properly so I won’t judge or critique it.
After the fireworks were over we hopped on a bus before the crowds got there and headed back to Pop! This was where we discovered that instead of walking through and around all of the resort and it taking 10-12 minutes to get back to our room, we could have easily cut across the parking lot at the end of the line of busses, as many people were doing. And made it to our room in just 3 minutes. Silly us.
We packed up a bit and then went to bed. Our last night sleeping in Disney! The worst.
