I can't believe this trip is almost over! It seems like it flew by, but doesn't it always feel that way no matter how long it is? That tea tour looks really interesting, and you sound just like my mom when it comes to her teas. She knows what she likes and it's hard to pursuade her to try something out of her comfort zone...I still try every time though.

I don't know how I'd gotten so far behind, but I do enjoy reading a bunch of updates at once. Sorry about the heat, but it seems like this part of your trip is mostly problem free (aside from a crazy shower). But you still seem to run into the most umm... interesting guests!

The tea tour sounds interesting! I didn't see that on our trip! I must not have browsed well enough inside that Twining's shop! We sat in the garden to eat our fish and chips, and I vaguely remember seeing the big cups in the garden, but now I realize I should have explored the gardens more!

What fun interaction with Alice! I've read about so many great experiences with her...now I must make sure I find her on my next visit!

Thanks for your pics and reviews of the AK concierge lounge. It's something I'd like to try on my next visit. I was sort of expecting a bit more food selection, though, so now I'll have to rethink the value of that....

Sorry the selections at Boma weren't as good as you had expected. Boma was one of the best meals we had on my last trip, so I'm hoping that the selections were just off that night.

Sorry about the bug bites...I sure can sympathize with you on those!

Great update! I never knew that Boma's menu was different on Saturday nights. Interesting!

Is the Twinings Tea Tour free? Is it only during the Flower & Garden Festival? I think it's something mom would absolutely love, but I don't know if it would be on in October.

Anxiously awaiting your Eeyore interaction, but I know we have some more fun stories to read through first! Can't wait to hear about the safari, and see photos!
Apparently Boma's dinner is different on a Saturday night. We never knew that, but it's what Bruce and Marta told us. I seem to recall that there are about three or four different menus during the week, but the Saturday one is only offered once a week.

The Twinings Tea Tour is free, but I think it's only during the Flower and Garden Festival.

They have in the past also offered a similar Twinings Tea tour at Food and Wine, but I don't see it listed this year.

I too would enjoy the tea tour. As I read the "Tea Grading" sign, I heard the music/words to the jingle "the tiny little tea leaves in Tetley tea". LOL

My question to the man who interrupted the tea tour would have been "And just how often do you drink dead frogs?" Said in the most sincere, friendly way, of course....
But the pictures of the flowers were just gorgeous and I thoroughly enjoyed them--thank you!

That sounded like an interesting tea tour. Sounds like you had a very relaxing afternoon in your room packing... and drinking! Those giraffes are funny, aren't they? We watched some running and playing around when we ate at Sanaa last November too! Very cool.

I just got all caught up with your last few updates and really enjoyed them. The little boy in Fulton's Crab House sounded like he needed more than a time out! Loved all the pictures of DTD. Enjoyed all your pictures of the flowers in Epcot! Your food pics for all the restaurants look so appetizing Can't wait to hear about your Sunrise Safari.
