@JenniferS, keep me posted on major speculations going on in that thread. And One Man's Dream is one of my favorites.
One Man's Dream is one of my favorites as well. This really kills me. Disney has been doing absolutely the bare minimum to keep Walt's memory alive.
Well, I guess I'll just write what I was going to write, minus the pictures for now.
So the second day was the arrival day of our Disney travel buddies, consisting of my aunt and uncle and two cousins. They didn't arrive until early afternoon, so my mom, dad and I went to Epcot in the later morning. I think we arrived around 10 or 10:30. We hopped on Soarin' with a FP, and then headed to WS since that was the intended focus of the Epcot visit. Unfortunately my pictures were still taking part in Smudgegate during the FW portion of the day, and I finally noticed it and cleaned the lens somewhere between Mexico and Norway. I took a couple pictures of Norway, but they aren't very exciting. Here's a picture from China showing how surprisingly low the crowds were early in the week.
Here's a picture of the garden/pond area in China. I love that little area, and for some reason really liked this picture.
(insert picture from China pavilion here showing garden/pond area)
Here's one I could upload of the Friendship boat on the lagoon.
And then Germany, where my dad got a button for Father's Day from some German dude working there. He asked who in the store was a dad, my dad raised his hand and the guy gave him a button. He was a goofy one, but super nice.
(Just kidding, this picture didn't work either.)
And later on around the lagoon we stopped and watched an a capella group at the American pavilion. They were called the American Music Machine, and they were really good. I have some videos which hopefully I'll be able to post later. Here are some pictures (maybe).
(Picture 1 was a no-go.)
But thank Saget that picture 2 is working!
Also, the woman whose head can be seen in the lower left corner of the above picture was really getting into it. Clapping, dancing, fist-pumping... she was the only one who was super enthusiastic about it!
Here's one of Morocco.
(Nope, not this one either.)
Well, I'm going to try and figure this out before posting just a bunch of parenthetical phrases.

Well, you can see the low crowd picture here.

Happy Canada Day to everyone and especially @JenniferS
I really wish I was back in Ottawa right now.

Thank you Eric.
I've never been in Ottawa for Canada Day, but I'm sure that's the place to be. Elsewhere, festivities are pretty low key and subdued; nothing like your Fourth of July.
Hubby and the boys are all working, and I will watch an afternoon baseball game. The Jays will wear their red and whites I am sure, and defeat the BoSox, of which I am less sure.
Sounds about right. I suspect you guys don't always get it, but 'tis the Canadian way. And we're okay with it.
Happy Canada Day everyone. Come on up for the day, and the Timmie's is on me.

Little interesting fact (from Adam Schefter on Twitter):
Bobby Bonilla collects $1.193M from Mets today, as he will each July 1 through 2035; makes more this yr than R. Wilson has in each NFL year.

Yeah - it's nuts. Or brilliant. He negotiated a deferred compensation deal to ensure income despite not playing. A few seasons ago, he was the highest paid "outfielder" (he played some right field) on the Mets despite not having played since 2001.
Full story here, if anyone is interested: http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs...bby-bonilla-payday-everyone/?wprss=rss_sports

I'll be watching the festivities in Ottawa on my computer. I'm also baking a cake that will be red and white.
I don't know what they do in other parts of the US but our 4th celebrations have always been pretty subdued. All we've ever done is cook something and maybe do a few fireworks. That's pretty common for people around here. We don't have any big events.

We've done a little bonfire a few times but we live out in the country and have fires pretty often anyway.
This year I have to work. I don't think I'll be doing much of anything.
