Epcot, Y&B Club, Boardwalk, and MGM

Hi Everyone! Starting March 28th, I will be working in the Canadian Pavilion at EPCOT for a year, as a cultural representative, participating in the W.D.W. International Program. If you are ever visiting WDW in the next year, be sure to email me and drop by EPCOT's Canadian Pavilion to say hi. Thank you for visiting my site, and I hope you enjoy my Florida experience, as much as I do.

On my second day off I decided that I would head to Epcot to check out the shoemobile, visit Company D, and visit people working. Unfortunately they were out of size 13 shoes, so I guess i'll have to go to the outlet mall next week. I didnt purchase anything at Company D because it was all the same stuff I saw last week. I headed over to the other side of the park to visit other Canadians at work, and then decided to walk over to the Yacht and Beach Club through the Internationl Gateway.

The ToT from the water:

When I arrived at MGM I immediately headed backstage to the cast member cafeteria for lunch (you can't beat a make it yourself burger for $1.79 - less than the price of a water in the park). I also discovered a Company D right next door where they had different merchandise! I managed to find a cool "cast member" shirt and an Everest pin, among other things. :)

Rockin' Roller Coaster (only a 70 minute wait):

The ToT (100 min wait):

Star Tours:

As I was trying to leave the park (i.e. find the cast member bus back to the Commons) I wandered around an abandoned backstage (after 530) for about an hour. I was able to see everything! It was tiring, but really fun. I then managed to find my way to the costuming building out near the parking lot, and then found my way to the bus (right by the main entrance) :)
