Calgary

Last week Jennifer flew up to Calgary, in Alberta, Canada, to visit a friend. They checked out downtown and took pictures from a bridge over the Bow River.

They also drove west into the mountains to visit Banff National Park.

Finally, they spent time at an indoor water park.

Food & Wine and more

We continued to visit the parks in late August and September as Disney World prepared for its 50th anniversary. In Epcot, we checked out the Food and Wine booths. As it had last year, the festival had less stuff than before the pandemic. Several booths won’t be open until later in the fall.

 

At the Studios, we got another chance to experience Rise of the Resistance. We still had to wear masks, but it was a little better than the first time due to easing of the social distancing rules.

We also got to do a few more previews of Ratatouille. While waiting for our slot, we tried some crepes from the new Creperie restaurant. They were pretty good. 

Work continued in the middle of Future World, as well as on the new Guardians of the Galaxy roller coaster. Last week I took a ride on the Epcot monorail to check the progress.

Yesterday Creations Shop, the replacement for MouseGear, opened up in Epcot.
