{Wordless Wednesday} A Boogie?

I didn’t notice until after we got home that Emma’s position in this picture makes her look like a Pinochio boogie.  LOL!!

{Magical Memory Monday} Club Cool

Back in December 2010, I went to Disney World for training.  While touring Epcot®, we had the opportunity to visit Club Cool.  Now, I don’t think I had ever even been in this store.  And, if I had, I know I had never tasted all the different flavors of soda offered in the soda fountain.

At Club Cool, guests can cool down and sample some soft drinks from around the world for free.

I enjoy the flavors of Smart Watermelon (China) and Fanta Kolita (Costa Rica).  During my trip in December 2010, I tried MOST of the flavors offered. 

I couldn’t wait to take the kids here during UFT 2011.  I knew Emma and Logan would sample just the sodas that ‘sounded’ good – there is a description of each on the fountain.  But, what I was really hoping was that Isaac would try Beverly.  Beverly, from Italy, is said to have a bitter flavor.  And, sure enough, he tried it!

You can see from his face above that it doesn’t taste very good.   But, he is such a trooper that I knew he’d give it a shot – once.  He didn’t feel the need to taste it again.

I’m not one to play along when someone says “You’ve got to taste this.  It is so gross!”.  Ummm… I’ll just take your word for it. I’m NOT a trooper.  I don’t purposely try grody things just for the fun of it.

If you’ve been to Club Cool, have you tried Beverly? Do you laugh as you watch others taste it? (I do!) What’s your favorite flavor?
