Disney 2016: Day 9

8:25 a.m.
Good morning! We are currently on our way to Epcot!

Today I'm wearing a tank top from Walmart that we had embroidered to match for our last trip, athletic shorts from Old Navy, a sports bra from Boone Belles, Tevas, my FitBit and Magic Band, and ears from Jane/Etsy! Except I forgot to take a picture that morning, so here is my mom and I being all cute!

And while I showed my mom and I being cute, I figured I might as well stick this in here too!  We did a special meet and greet for Disney Visa card holders in Epcot and this ended up being one of my favorite pictures from the entire trip!


10:20 a.m.
We got in a little early this morning, so we've already been here about an hour and a half and have already ridden Soarin' twice and Living with the Land!

We also got a chance to do The Seas with Nemo and friends, which is always a big hit!  It is a cute ride that never has a wait, with a little aquarium at the end!

I love catching starfish stuck to the glass!  Even though this one has an interesting middle...

Come on now, they had to put food in the spot or rig this somehow!  There was a big and little clown fish hanging around each other the whole time we were there!  It really was Nemo!

And then Turtle Talk with Crush... Even though it is geared toward little kids, it is super cute and we had to do it again!

We were also able to catch Test Track!  And I was pretty dang proud of the car I created, if I do say so myself.


2:25 p.m.
Just finished lunch at the Garden Grill!  We love this restaurant in The Land pavilion at Epcot because the fruit and veggies are grown in the Living with the Land ride.  The restaurant also slooooowly rotates like a big lazy susan, so the scenery is constantly changing!  The food is served family style and is all you can eat... and we sure do.  I forgot to take a picture of the food, which is horribly sad because it is one of the best meals of our entire trip, but I got a few of the characters!

It is the classic characters here, so Mickey, Pluto, Chip and Dale!  Look at Pluto posing!

High fives all around from the chipmunk!

So Pluto decided to sneak around the edge of the booth and scare me, as evidenced by my face in this picture!  He was so cute and playful!

We also went up the Canada side of the world at Epcot so we could hit a few more countries we missed or just really like!

How could we go to England and not use one of the telephone booths?

I loved the way this arch in Japan framed the golf ball.  If you can't tell by our second visit here, Japan is one of our favorite pavilions! 

So I went to use the restroom and it ended up being a sort of complicated place to get to.  But once I got back there, there was this little bridge with a pond and garden!  It was so cute, I don't know why Disney would hide it back in this little corner!

This is the inside sort of market area of the Japan pavilion with all of the candy and snacks! This is always a cool place to shop and try new things because for Disney, the prices really aren't that bad!  I always get the biggest box of Happy Panda cookies they have, they are my favorite!

5:40 p.m.
We just walked over to The Boardwalk via the International Gateway out of Epcot to get cupcakes... Let me tell you, I was extremely disappointed with their selection! Some of the best cupcakes I'd seen online in Disney were here and they didn't have anything! So now we are riding a boat back into Epcot.

After we got there we stopped off in France to get a few treats.  Though the cream filled things we got in Norway were my favorite, I got a raspberry lime macaroon and to was honestly amazing.


7:00 p.m.
Well, we were all killed and decided to come on in back to the room and make it an early night.

Last day in Epcot... I'll miss the way this lights up!

We ended up having a nap and then going down to our resort's food court for dinner around 8:30. I had a Turkey and Munster Sandwich on a croissant with homemade chips, and a cream cheese danish, and it was actually much better than I expected! After we finished we came back to the room, showered, and watched the Olympics... Except I was out pretty quick!

Winter As a College Student

Let me just tell you, there isn't a thing in the world fun about a dorm room in the winter!  On the happen chance that yours is as old as mine (pre-1960s, thank you very much) you probably have radiators too, which personally, I have very little control over.  Even on the off setting they exude so much heat that the room is stifling!  And then you open the window and snow starts blowing in... Yay Appalachian Mountains! Let's just all agree that is quite a process.  So what is one to do to combat these cold (and getting colder!) temperatures? First, I've got two B's for you (mostly because I couldn't come up with a third...)  Blankets and Bedwarmers! Let's face it, dorm rooms are tiny and your bed is the focus of the majority of decor, as well as where you will be spending a large portion of your time (yay Netflix binges!) so you need to make sure it is super cozy! Personally, I have my sheets and comforter that I sleep under every night.  ...

Ipsy: June

My June Ipsy bag!   Probably my least favorite part of this bag... was the actual bag.  It's quite ugly, but the products are good for the most part! This Be a Bombshell lipgloss in Secret is ok… It’s a nice brand, so I’m not mad at it, it just isn't my favorite.  I put it on and it had almost a concealer like tint instead of the pretty pinky nude in the tube.  I have used it since and if used with a lighter hand, it's ok. I love this Formula X nail polish by Sephora in Wingwoman!  It is such a nice dark pink/red color, and it didn't chip!  Do you know how hard it is to find a nail polish that doest chip on me? This Three Tone "Bronzer" by Crown Brush is ridiculous... It looks like little kids play makeup.  It has a strip of bronze, a strip of pink, and one of a "highlight," and as soon as I took it out of he box the packaging fell apart.  I didn't even bother trying it, I just listed it on a swap website. But t...

Last Minute Present: Oven Mitt

This is a super easy (and cheap) present that someone who loves baking or cooking would adore!  I received this as a gift last year and I was so excited!  To top it all off, this present couldn't get any easier, and it could be made for under $10 but is very versatile and can be made as elaborate or simple as you want!   So the basics, you are going to need an oven mitt to put the whole present in, and then a few tools to solidify the cooking theme.  I know for a fact the mitt, as well as the tools below, came from Walmart and can be snagged super cheap. Then you need to fill it with candy and food!  In mine she added chocolate chip cookie mix, hot chocolate mix, and candy canes.  Super simple right?  And definitely something you could run to Walmart right now and put together.  Like I said before, there are many variations you could do with this present!  My mom has a wood burning tool and can burn designs into wooden...
