Katie Creates The Magic : Perry's World Showcase Adventures!

Hello everyone! On my first Friday off past training, other Katie and I went to EPCOT; this time as guests instead of cast members! During our day, we collected a paper Perry fan from the Kidcot station in Norway (one of the first countries to be open in the Morning. If you get a chance, eat at Akershus, it's the Royal Banquet Hall :D) and from there, we visited all of the countries to get their flag or country-specific sign and stamp on the back of the fan! We also played, I think, FOUR of our SEVEN Agent P's World Showcase Adventure Missions! When you come visit EPCOT, make sure to try your hand at being a Secret Agent, Sign up to be a part of the OWCA and you can run through the missions too!! Here are some pictures from that day! The Front of the Park/Spaceship Earth/ Not a Giant Golf Ball:

Then, we went to Starbucks right outside Fountain View in FutureWorld West. After that, because FutureWorld opens before the World Exposition, we rode Soarin'! It's a high-flying adventure and lots of fun! I do recommend it (even though I get motion sick. It was still a good time)! Here is a picture from inside The Land, which is where Soarin' is housed.

Then, we made our way to the World Showcase like I said earlier. Here are pictures from when we first picked up Perry and were having fun playing with just Perry before we went on our adventure.

Perry and Katie^2 then visited Norway! Can you spot Perry in all the following pictures? :)

After Norway, we back tracked into Mexico around 11 once it opened!

The countries (starting at Mexico) are lined up: Mexico, Norway and then China! You can meet Mulan in China! To see pictures of Mulan, check out my Character Spot blog posts :) Other Katie and I also ate lunch here in China at the Lotus Blossom Cafe. Very Very Yummy!!

Disney Fun Fact: What country is the Outpost supposed to represent? Answer: That's a trick question! The Outpost actually represents a smorgasbord of countries in Africa! It's more of a continent representation than a country representation. Next question: What country is situated after the Outpost? It's the only country that I forgot to get a picture of Perry in. (Hint: You can meet Snow White here! ((Now you know why I forgot to get a picture of Perry. Pictures of Snow and I are in the Character Spot blog as well. It was magical to meet her!!)) ) The next country I have pictures of Perry in is Italy! We do not have a mission in Italy, but we did used to have a cart there. When it was open, we could sign you up as a Secret Agent there too! However, it has been closed for a few weeks now. Not sure what the future plan for the Italy Cart is, but when I know, I can let you all know! Anyway, here is Italy:

Directly across the World Showcase Lagoon from the entrance to the World Showcase is the American Adventure! There, if you visit at the right time, you can witness the beautiful voices of the Voices of Liberty! They are beautiful (and handsome) a cappella singers that perform some wonderful renditions of tunes you will most likely recognize! The first time I saw the Voices of Liberty, they covered Let It Go, but this time, they performed more traditional patriotic tunes. In these pictures, you can see the other Katie as well as Perry and the Voices of Liberty!!! :D

Look! Both Katies in one (or four) picture(s)! Also featured: two of the dashing Voices of Liberty!

After the American Adventure, we continued our trip around the world to Japan! Japan is one of the busiest countries when we Park Clear at night, because of the Teppan Edo restaurant. It smells really yummy inside but I haven't had a chance to try the food yet. If you have, let me know how it is/was!

After Japan comes Morocco. This is where you can meet Aladdin and Jasmine. It's also other Katie's least favorite country to park clear. As for me, the bathrooms also kind of freak me out too (one of the sinks goes off more easily than the rest. like every time I walk past it. yikes...)

France is home to Belle and Aurora! I haven't met them yet, but one morning during training, Belle came out with her book to meet our guests on the promenade! She was a delight!

Between France and the United Kingdom is the International Gateway. From there, you can catch a ferry to the EPCOT resorts and Hollywood Studios! Just like France, we have a mission in the UK. I haven't completed either of those missions, but the UK one looks like lots of fun. The UK also has a tea shop! wooooh!
