    Default Candy lady in Japan

    Can someone tell me if she is gone?! I know I have looked for her in the past year and haven't seen her. I hope not but I fear that she is.

    Pretty sure she's not. We saw her in December. It was our first time stopping to watch her. She's amazing!

    We saw her last October, she does 15-20ish minute shows every few hours, I think shes on the epcot schedule, she's so amazing I got a Hummingbird from her one year for my birthday and it made me so happy!! I would listen to her talk for days, she said "Scary shark for youuu" one time and I recorded it, sooo cute!!

    Well, I hate to do it but I must admit I have no idea who the Candy Lady is...could someone offer a bit of enlightenment for the unknowing?
    There's a great big beautiful tomorrow

    She is a woman who takes corn syrup of a taffy-like consistency to shape animals on a stick in a very short time. She is great fun to watch, and takes requests from her audience as to what animal (real or imaginary) she makes.

    Her cart was still there when we were down in May. I haven't heard that she left.

    If you want to see who she is just look up like "Epcot Candy Lady" on You Tube and you'll find her.

    Unfortunately, Miyuki can no longer give the candy sculptures to guests. It's not clear why this was stopped but there has been suggestion it was due to health codes.

    Even so, her artwork is amazing and is a good 20 minute show.

    I'm not surprised ... I always thought it was a bit strange that she handed the stuff out like that.

    With all the sensitivity to food allergies, bacteria, etc. these days it just seemed like a lawsuit waiting to happen.

    That being said, it is sad because my kids used to get so excited when she'd make something for them and they'd get to take it home.

    thanks all! I guess I just was going there at the wrong times. We have seen her many times and were lucky enough to get some of her "candy carmela" but we never ate it....I suppose that is a good thing!!

    interesting.... we've been checking out her show on every trip since 2003. last year we seemed to miss her... several times we stopped by when she was to be there... but she never showed and my kids always eat the candy.... they usually never even made it back to the hotel. and they never got sick? hmmm.. we have lots of photos and video of her at work. she is amazing.
