Chapter 8: World Showcase

Bella's POV

We were walking towards the World Showcase when we saw a building called Club Cool.

"Hey we're cool, let's go chill in there…haha I crack myself up," Emmett laughed slapping his knee.

Inside the building there were three drink stations, they had soda flavors from around the world. Nessie wanted to try every flavor so as the rest of my family sat at the tables; I took Nessie around to sample each soda. According to Nessie the sodas from China, Israel, Japan, Germany, and Mozambique were good, but the soda from Italy was really bitter. After taking a sip from the Italy soda she scrunched up her nose in disgust.

"Ugh, this tastes like vomit!!" she said dumping the cup in the trash can.

"I'll just take your word for it," I said laughing at her disgusted face.

She really liked the watermelon soda from China, so she just kept filling her cup with that soda.

"Oh hey Bella!!" I turned to see Mike standing behind me.

"Oh hi Mike, where's Jess?" I asked quickly scanning the room.

"She's over at the other machines sampling the different drinks. Hi Renesmee," he said waving at Nessie.

"Hi, you can call me Nessie if you want. Here try this it's my favorite soda here," she said handing him a cup full of the soda from Italy.

I could hear the rest of my family laughing from their table. Apparently Edward and Alice filled the rest of them in to what was going on. Mike took the cup and swallowed it all in one big gulp. His face turned a funny shade of green.

"UGH Nessie you like this stuff??" he asked trying not to vomit.

"No silly, I was just kidding. That stuff tastes like vomit," she said laughing.

Mike glared at her and walked away.

"Ha I really got him good," she said as she skipped back over to our awaiting family.

She received some well deserved high fives as we exited the building and made our way over to World Showcase. We decided to start in Mexico and go all the way around until Canada. As we entered the Mexico Pavilion we saw a long table set up near Animales Fantasticos. The Disney Cast Member explained that this was one of the many Kidcot Fun Stops where kids come to decorate masks.

"I love coloring, can I make one PLEASE??" Nessie asked sticking out her bottom lip in a very Alice like pout.

I nodded, and she squealed and jumped into a chair. She grabbed a plain white mask and began making it her own with neon colors and Mickey stamps. Once she was done, she thanked the man and leapt off the chair. She left her mask in her stroller as we walked into the giant towering pyramid. Inside there was festive music and a bustling marketplace. We walked a little further in and saw the Gran Fiesta Tour Starring the Three Caballeros, which was a boat ride in a lagoon at the foot of a smoking volcano.

The ride featured stars from the Disney film, The Three Caballeros. They are reuniting for a huge musical performance in Mexico City, but they realize Donald has gone missing. He got distracted by the city lights. We follow Donald on his boat ride down El Rio del Tiempo, the river of time.

"This is amazing, I want to go to Mexico for real," Nessie said leaning over the boat to get a better look at the decorations.

We visited Acapulco, Chichen Itza, Isle Mujeres, Manzanillo, and Mexico City before the starry sky of Mexico lured Donald back for the Gran Fiesta Tour. After our relaxing Mexican boat ride, our next stop was Norway.

Nessie and Alice ran up ahead to The Puffin's Roost so Nessie could continue her mask decorating at the next Kidcot Fun Stop. She added a bit more pink and some Tinkerbell stamps, and was finished. We entered the line for the Maelstrom, a boat ride adventure. There were pictures of Vikings along the walls inside the building.

"I would look awesome as a Viking!!" to my surprise, Carlisle said this while striking poses to look like the Vikings on the wall.

We all just stared at him in awe as the line began to move forward giving us a clear view of the Viking ship that would be taking us on our adventure. We climbed aboard our ship and were water-blasted to the past. We encountered trolls, went backwards, and slid down a small hill all before making it back to the safety of a calm harbor. There was a short five minute film on the beauty of Norway, and then after that we were back out on the streets making our way towards China.

Looking around, I noticed Alice was missing. Before I could even ask where she went, she returned holding a Viking hat for Carlisle. He placed it on his head. It looked like he was wearing an upside-down golden bowl with horns, but he did look good in it. The rest of us looked around the shops while Jasper took Nessie to the next Kidcot Fun Stop. Once Nessie finished, we walked through the gardens around the tranquil reflecting ponds. As we were leaving the China Pavilion, the Dragon Legend Acrobats started a performance. They flipped and pretty much defied gravity in their stunning show.

The next country we came to was Germany. As we were walking towards Germany we noticed a little train set that wound around a small village. We watched it for a while, I don't really know why, but it was fascinating. And then we moved on. We didn't really want to do anything in the Germany Pavilion except for the next Kidcot stop, so we let Nessie and Esme go ahead. As Nessie was finishing up, the Dwarfs from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs came out to sign autographs and take pictures. Luckily we were close to the front of the line, so we only had to wait five minutes. She got autographs from all the seven dwarfs and we continued on to the next country.

Italy was next, and Edward's eyes turned black with hate. The rest of my family took Nessie to color, while a very angry Edward and I moved on to The American Adventure.

"Thick-headed, good-for-nothing, immoral Italian Vampires," Edward seethed with his hands balled up into fists.

He had calmed down and was now breathing normally, his hands were relaxed, and his eyes back to their original topaz state. The rest of our family joined us, looking a little apprehensive. They breathed a sigh of relief as I nodded my head signaling that everything was fine.

"Mommy, Mommy, guess what???" Nessie yelled sprinting towards me.

"What!!" I asked, making my voice as excited as possible.

"I got Pinocchio's autograph!!!" she said shoving her autograph book in my face.

"Wow honey, that's great!!" I said taking the book and studying the signature.

We walked into The American Adventure building, which was home to a 30-minute show that recreated events in American history. The show was hosted by Benjamin Franklin and Mark Twain. During our exploration of America's past we met extraordinary visionaries such as Thomas Jefferson, Frederick Douglass, Susan B. Anthony, Alexander Graham Bell, Teddy Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy, and Martin Luther King Jr. Our hosts took us to witness some of America's most important stories such as, the Boston Tea Party, World War II, the writing of the Declaration of Independence, and the civil rights movement. The show was amazing, and Edward especially loved it because it was an educational experience for Renesmee.

The next country was Japan. Nessie colored, and then we took a walk through the rock gardens, and around the koi ponds and streams.

"Whoa baby, look at the size of those fish," Nessie said pointing into the koi pond.

"Those are koi fish, they can grow to be 80 centimeters long," Edward said pulling random tidbits of knowledge out from inside his brains library.

"BORING!!!!" Emmett boomed from behind us causing us to jump.

"Here Nessie eat these," Emmett said handing her a box with little chocolate filled koala's, and Japanese writing all over it.

"What are these? No offense Uncle Em, but I don't think I want to be eating things from you unless I know what they are," Nessie told him while examining the package.

"They are just chocolate filled cookies," he said rolling his eyes.

Nessie just shrugged and popped one into her mouth. She chewed thoughtfully for a moment before her eyes lit up.

"Oh my goodness these are the yummiest cookies EVER!!!" she said shoving more into her mouth.

"See I told you, the extraordinary Emmett is never wrong!!" he exclaimed before running off.

Edward and I just rolled our eyes and led Nessie out of the garden and away from the pond. There was a woman by the name of Miyuki making animals out of sugar. We watched her for a while and she made a candy animal for Nessie. She of course wanted a wolf, and was absolutely beaming when Miyuki handed her a small sugar wolf.

Morocco was our next stop. After Nessie colored, we stood in line to get the Genie's autograph. While waiting in line, some belly-dancers came out to perform. They encouraged people to come dance with them, which of course Emmett couldn't resist. He shook his hips and since he couldn't get the belly-dancing down right, he broke into the Hoe-down Throw-down from Hannah Montana, which gained them a bigger audience. We finished in line and once everyone, yes that's right everyone started dancing along with Emmett, finished dancing, we moved on towards France.

We were just going to walk past France, but Marie from The Aristocats was there signing autographs. We got her signature, Nessie colored, and then we were off to the United Kingdom. Carlisle had been dying to go there all day. I think he wanted to visit England again. Rosalie, Emmett, Alice, and Esme took Nessie to the Kidcot Fun Stops here and in Canada, while Carlisle, Edward, jasper, and I went to watch The British Invasion, a Beatles tribute band. After we watched the Fab Four perform their final song "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" it was time to find a seat for IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth, a firework, laser, and water show performed on the World Showcase Lagoon. IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth told the story of our planet in three acts.

Act one was Chaos, where an explosion of fireworks and the Inferno Barge, a liquid propane mechanism that launched balls of fire 60 feet into the air, recreated the creation of Earth. Act two was Order. A giant glowing Earth Globe glided peacefully to the center of the lagoon. It was illuminated with famous faces and it celebrated achievements of our time. The final act was Meaning. The Earth Globe blossomed to reveal a torch and thousands of fireworks and laserlights that filled the night sky. There was a shimmering kaleidoscope of color and sound as the finale propelled us into the future. I looked over to where Emmett was sitting once the show was over. He held Nessie in his massive tree trunk arms and was cradling her to his chest as she slept peacefully.

He carried her the whole way back to our room. I walked a little bit behind with Edward. I was extremely excited for tomorrow. We were going to the Magic Kingdom, and if my faded human memories serve me right, it was my favorite park I went to with my mom. Emmett already had Nessie in her pajamas and tucked into bed by the time Edward and I got into the room.

"Thanks Em," I said kissing him on the cheek.

"No problem Bells, what are Uncles for. Goodnight," he said ducking out of our room and closing the door.

We sat in the bed on either side of Nessie. I was still thinking about how much fun we were going to have tomorrow at the Magic Kingdom.
