I am not sure if this information is already known by everyone on this board, but I thought I would mention it just in case it is not. We finally did pick a pearl at the Japan pavilion in Epcot on the last night we were there. It was really fun and my daughter loved learning how to count in Japanese! Well since it was so late and my toddler was melting down we didn't have time to look and have the pearl set into anything. I figured I'd do something with it when I arrived home. Since we were departing the next day our plan was EP in the morning (before the world showcase opened), beaches and cream for lunch, and then a last swim in stormalong bay! While we were walking over to the big slide I saw the Pearl Factory and thought what the heck. I went over and mentioned how we did the pick a pearl the night before in Japan and if they could set it in a ring. They were more than happy too! So now I have a memory of the pearl in EP and it was set in a ring at the Beach club while I floated in the pool!
Thanks for posting this!
I was actually wondering this weekend as I was scrolling through pictures on Page 1 if the Pick-A-Pearl stand was still open at the resort. I have pictures of that and the Hair Wrapping Place. I don't know how much traffic they get, so it is good to hear they were able to help you out.
I think I am going to do the Pick-A-Pearl ceremony in Japan during my trip in October to celebrate our 30th Wedding Anniversary- which is "Pearl". It will probably end up in my jewelry case with the 2 pearls I picked at Sea World in the 80's and never had set into jewelry. Oh, well.
Anyone know the significance of a Petrified Tree for the 31st wedding anniversary? (Go West)
