Walt Disney World 2013: Day 4 -- Hollywood Studios


A typical morning breakfast at the Riverside restaurant. The song still resonates...

Our breakfast was very sugary.
We spent a morning in Hollywood Studios, starting with the great movie ride. Meeting Pluto was fun for the kids, the Star Wars ride was thrilling and the Indiana Jones Stunt show was amazing.

Welcome to Hollywood baby
First character we meet today.
And this one is small. Imagine seeing a real one!
Hollywood Boulevard
Indiana Jones Stunt show. Quite entertaining.

We returned to Riverside to enjoy the pool. Suzanne and her mom went shopping. I relaxed at the pool. That night we ate at the resort’s restaurant, the Boatwright’s Dining Hall. Great waiter, good food.


We just loved the pool
Mathieu's first time in a water slide.
And there he goes. He's a real thrill seeker.
Sabrina is convinced to go. She'll love it too.
We get to swim really late while Sue and her mom are in an Orlando Outlet
At the Boatwright’s Dining Hall

The evening ended at the River Roost, the resort’s bar, enjoying and participating in the amazing Heeya Bob Jackson show. The man got everyone going, even Mathieu and Sabrina. He gives a real fun show.


Ok this guy was amazing. I felt like I was at the Bishop's Pub. Mathieu participated a lot, as you can see.
Even the women participated. One of the funnest bar I've ever been, for sure.

Walt Disney World 2013: Day 3 -- Epcot

The famous Epcot dome is Spaceship Earth, a trip through man's history
We began exploring Epcot on Spaceship Earth, the beautiful Living with the Land, Nemo, and Sabrina’s favourite: Soarin. We then discovered the beautiful World Showcase. Guess who we met in England?

Inside Spaceship Earth
Waiting for Mary Poppins. A very interesting fellow
Today we get to see her in her white suit.
Picture sent to Mme Sophie, Mathieu's teacher. Mary Poppins is her favourite.
In the World Showcase we got to visit 11 countries: Canada, UK, France, Morocco, Japan, USA, Italy, Germany, China, Norway and Mexico. A picture from one of each, and one missing. Can you guess which?

England

France
Morocco

Beautiful Japan

Japan is very zen
Italy, of course
La Plaza

Could not take a ride, unfortunately.
Snow White and her sweet voice was a treat for both Mathieu and Sabrina. Germany was a beautiful place with its miniature train, lots of beer and the pickle tree. In China, the kids got to work on their paper fan.

I just love this miniature train set
It's actually pretty big

I believe the Frankfurt were really good here.

Ahhh. The legend of the Christmas Pickle. Is it true (a native says so) or not (Wikipedia)
She was very sweet.
Mathieu let's it rip at one point. This is the Animal Kingdom outpost in Epcot.
Watching a show in China.
Hey we got one of those.
I love it. I want one.


The kids colouring their flags (see last picture of this trip)

Norway and the Maelstrom
Welcome to Mexico :) Our dinner was at La Hacienda de San Angel. We ate some amazing Mexican food, the waitress was great and our table near the water was just magical.

Hola signorita
What a view. We should have stayed for the fireworks.


We had fun, hard day indeed. We got to sleep late the next morning.
