Celebrating Adele at Thirty!

Adele celebrated her 30th Birthday on Sunday.  I met her on Monday morning, at Disney's Boardwalk Resort.

We took the boat over to Hollywood Studios to begin our celebration.  On the way, we snacked on chocolate truffles that Wayne had made.  A nice sweet start to the day!

The Hollywood Tower Hotel was our first stop.

We were planning on a leisurely brunch at the garden restaurant on the roof, but ran into a snag with our elevator.





Fortunately, I had my 'recorder' on me and I 'taped' our harrowing ride!

We caught the drum show at the Japan showcase.

Then headed to Italy for a 'Primavera' smoothie and enjoyed the vestito di rosso donne danzati.


















The Flower & Garden Festival is underway at Epcot.  We visited the butterfly tent next.

Next, we headed to Germany.  We had reservations for the dinner buffet at the Biergarten Restaurant at 4 PM. I had to practice my yodel before we went into the Biergarten.

Our reservations were at the earliest seating for dinner, and that worked to our advantage.  The crowd was small, and we had no waits at the buffet tables!  Our table was right down in front next to the dance floor.

We shared our table with Steve and Elizabeth, a very nice couple from Tennessee.  I think we all had a good time!

When the band started playing, they sang Happy Birthday to Adele.  And later, when they wheeled the bell table onto the dance floor, Adele remarked, "Oh!  My favorite part!"  He heard her and brought Adele and I out onto the floor to help play the bells!  He said, we have Adele, and instead of Richard, I am going to call you Weiss (vice), and we're going to play Edelweiss (Adele Vice).  Ouch!

As we went out, I handed my camera to Steve and asked if he would take some pictures.  So a big shout out to Steve!  He asked Elizabeth to record the number on their smart phone, and it came out great!  As soon as they get home, I will get a copy from them and post it.

After the show, this guy came over to our table and said that they only pull someone from the audience, maybe once a month, and most of the time it's a disaster.  He said that our performance was amazing!

When we left, our tummies were full, so we decided a leisurely walk around the World Showcase was in order!

We stopped by the England Showcase to catch this group, British Revolution.  They were phenominal, doing covers of British groups from different decades.  We caught three of their shows, all different!

Adele getting into the 1982 groove!

Then we headed over to Future World to meet up with Adele's friend Jean.  She got us backstage passes to meet some characters.

Aren't we just goofy?!!!  What a fun day it was!  Happy 30th Adele!!!
