You may have had this discussion at work;
Me: "I'm off next week."
Co-Worker- "Going anywhere?"
Me: "Yes. Guess where."
Co-Worker- "Again? Don't you you get sick of going there?"
Me: "It's a different trip every time. Different people, different restaurants, different experiences."
Experiences like this one;
My wife and I were in Epcot's World Showcase with our friends Kandi, John, Grayson, Jazzlyn, Laurie and Angelo. Laurie, Angelo and I had just gotten some adult beverages to go from the Rose and Crown Pub and were strolling towards Canada when we saw 2 Disney characters I had never seen out, Honest John Foulfellow the Fox and Gideon the Cat, the 2 con-artists who sell Pinocchio to Stromboli in the animated classic Pinocchio.
They were waving to us to follow them. So we joined a few other park guests who had also spotted this duo. They led us into the World Showplace area between the UK and Canada. Knowing about this pair's devious past, maybe we should have been more cautious? Well, I'm glad we weren't, because, with a wave of Foulfellow's hands, and a flap of his cape, the gate opened...
...to reveal Mickey, Minnie, Pluto, a Penguin from Mary Poppins, Rafiki, Baloo and King Louie!
We basically had them to ourselves, along with a small group of people, and had plenty of time to get numerous photos with each!
Note in the photo below, in the bottom right corner of the photo, is the adult beverage, a Shandy, I had just gotten from the Rose and Crown. Obviously, Disney won't take a photo with someone holding a drink with one of their beloved characters, so at each character, I was asked to put aside my "Apple Juice", which is what I shall forever more refer to a Shandy as.
It's experiences like this that keep us coming back time and again!

A Shandy at Epcot's United Kingdom Pavilion
By: Nick
Have you ever had a Shandy? Have you ever heard of a Shandy? I cannot recall where I first heard about them, but when I did, I knew I wanted one.
What is a Shandy? In the real United Kingdom, a Shandy is beer mixed with carbonated lemonade.
At the Rose and Crown Pub at Epcot's United Kingdom Pavilion, it's 1/2 Sprite & 1/2 Bass Ale or Harp Lager.

Delicious.
A couple of nights ago, my friend Ron was kind enough to buy me one. I chose to have this one made with Harp Lager, as I was told by the bartender that it is less sweet.
I liked this even more!
Next time you're in Epcot, give a Shandy a try.
Cheers!
