Tuesday Tip-Epcot's Germany-It's the Little Things...

If you've been to Epcot and checked out the Germany pavilion in the World Showcase, you may have noticed the amazing model train landscape they have set up there.  There's a little village, trees and landscaping, a little farm...all in miniature.  There's usually three trains running, though sometimes you may only see one or two chugging along.

Now for the fun tip...

You know how Disney is known for its amazing attention to even the smallest of details, right?  If you're lucky enough to be able to visit Walt Disney World more than once, especially if it's at different times of the year, be sure to carefully scrutinize the display.  The setup will change depending on the time of year.  During the winter, the little town is decorated for the holidays, and during Epcot's International Food & Wine Festival, you'll see miniature food booths just like the food booths around the World Showcase!  There's even people standing around tall tables enjoying what they got at the booths and a mini-cranberry bog, just like the real-life cranberry bog they had for the festival!

Miniature Food & Wine Festival Booths in the train set

So, on your next trip to Epcot, be sure to check out the trains in Germany and see what setup they have going on.  My favorite?  Many years ago in the farm section, there was a crop circle in the middle of the farmer's field and they had the farmer standing next to it with his head tilted back staring up at the sky as if he was looking for the aliens who did it.  The best part?  The crop circle was in the shape of a Mickey head!

Do you check out the trains whenever you visit?  What different setups have you seen?

Here's a wider view of the above set...see the walkway at the top?  That's where you can walk thru, so it will help with the perspective of the size of the setup (and yes, there's more of the model trains on the other side of the walkway-there's a tunnel that takes the trains thru to the other side!)

Don't forget while you're here to check out the giveaway I'm doing for a cute Disney Vinylmation figure!  Only a couple days left to enter and right now the odds are really good for anyone entered!  Click HERE to check it out, then check back again on the blog next month for another Vinylmation giveaway!

Where in Walt Disney World Am I Wednesday

If you're a crazy Disney fan like I am, you know they are known for all the little details that you'd never in a million years think of, but when you're in the WDW theme parks those little things are what really make you feel part of another world.  Like this next pic...what are you looking at and where can you find this in Walt Disney World?

Where in WDW can you find this, and what exactly are you looking at?

When you're done here, don't forget to check out my Vinylmation giveaway and get yourself entered...there's still time left to enter and share the giveaway with your friends and family!

Collectible Walt Disney World-Vinylmation and a Giveaway!

Many guests come away from a Walt Disney World vacation with cool new souvenirs for friends and family.  Others like to bring home things for themselves...after all, having a fun reminder of your awesome WDW vacation can bring back happy memories of your trip! 

Souvenirs are a great way to remember your vacation

One thing many repeat visitors love to do is start a collection that they add to with each trip.  For example, I used to collect Disney ornaments.  Every trip I would stop in to the Disney’s Days of Christmas store at Downtown Disney to get a new ornament for our Christmas tree.  I only stopped when we stopped putting up the tree every year due to space constraints in the apartment we had moved into.  Some people collect Mickey ear hats, others collect the pressed pennies you can find around the parks and of course tons of guests love to collect Disney pins...you can even trade pins with Cast Members and other guests.

Then in 2008, a new souvenir was introduced-Vinylmation figures.  These figures all come in the shape of Mickey Mouse, but are all decorated or colored to represent different things.  Some are solid colors, some are decorated to look like other Disney characters, others are colored to represent sports teams and so on.  They come in different sizes from tiny 1.5” figures to 3” all the way up to 9”...and just like with any collectible you can find prices from the quite cheap to the obscenely expensive.  But your average 3” figure starts at about $12.95 and goes up from there based on design and how many of that type of figure have been produced.  And just like the pins, guests like to trade the Vinylmation figures too.  They are a fun and cute way to remember your vacation and most everyone should be able to find one they like.

Aren't these guys just adorable?

Think you might like to start a collection of your own?  After all, $12.95 is about half the price of most t-shirts you’ll find in the parks and a Vinylmation wil most likely last you a heck of a lot longer than a t-shirt anyway.  Plus, some of these are just so darn cute!  I was able to procure several figures and decided to sponsor a giveaway for my readers.  So to start off I’ll be giving away this adorable Goofy-design 3” Vinylmation from the Color Block series.  A great way to start a collection of your own, or add to an existing collection...or even use it to trade!  I’ll be giving away one Vinylmation each month for the next few months to a lucky reader.  Interested in your own Vinylmation figure?  Here's the first Vinylmation giveaway-enter using the Rafflecopter widget at the end-and don't forget to share the giveaway with friends, family and anyone else who loves Disney:
