July 16, 2014 Denise

Hi everyone!

Mousesteps Weekly #108 is now posted, and includes a good part of a day at Epcot; Magic Kingdom Harmony Barber Shop and hub work; the Hogwarts Express at Universal Orlando and a look at the Carnival Legend cruise ship.

Read below the show for more information and show links. See the Frozen Summer Fun Fireworks on the cover of the video? It is easily seen from Epcot!

In Mousesteps Weekly #108, we talk about:

Our visit to Epcot, which included picking up small gifts in World Showcase and trying new snacks, including the Vanilla Macaron Ice Cream Sandwich at L’Artisan Glaces in France. We customized our own Coke cans and checked out the water main project. Before enjoying our evening in Epcot, we went to the Magic Kingdom.

At the Magic Kingdom, we each had a haircut at the Harmony Barber Shop. This is where we always go! We had a Fastpass for Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, so we stopped for a ride before heading to Liberty Square for a late lunch.

Heading back to Epcot, Jeff picked up the Figment Comic #2. We enjoyed another visit to World Showcase, continuing our shopping from earlier and taking night photos, including of China, Spaceship Earth, and of the Frozen Summer Fun Fireworks Spectacular.

We head to Universal Orlando to ride the Hogwarts Express, taking a look at the Kings Cross queue and some of the ride inside the Hogwarts Express compartment. Next week, we should have a Diagon Alley update!

We attended a media event on the Carnival Legend, where an announcement was made about the Cigar City Brewing partnership. Craft beers from the company will be available on ships sailing out of Florida! We take a short tour of the ship, which includes some new additions. After the media announcement, we stop at Cigar City Brewing to take a tour.

Steve Griswold from Pixie Vacations shares a look at Tomorrowland in Disneyland Paris. He also brought a couple of souvenirs back for us as prizes!
