Disney World Epcot Day 3

We took a Saturday to hopefully not have as full of a day for our 7 days. We swam in our hotel pool, went shopping at multiple outlets and Walmart for fun souvenirs. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and rested our feet and legs. Especially Joe and I, we needed the break!

Epcot was a fun surprise! Specifically Joe and I didn't expect to like it so much. We only scheduled 1 day to be there, which was enough for the kids. But if we were just the adults, we would definitely need to do another day.

We saw Alice in her garden.

Enjoying the United Kingdom: England

Throughout our trip we had quite a bit of rain...and so we got used to soggy shoes, carrying wet ponchos around, and trying to keep from getting sick. All and all, we all stayed pretty healthy.

The land of Canada:

Miniature town with a railroad. The kids liked watching the train.

The land of America:

And we also enjoyed a big Turkey Leg:

The land of China:

The land of Morocco:

The land of France:

Ratatouille:

 

One of the kids favorite rides was The Sea with Nemo and Friends. We did it a couple of times at the beginning of the day and at the end of the day. Joe and I enjoyed the aquarium:

"A Fin-tastic Adventure

Board a “clamobile” and descend slowly below the waves, where Nemo’s friends flit through brightly colored coral reefs and gently swaying anemones. Dodge stinging jellyfish, underwater mines, a toothy anglerfish and an even toothier Bruce the shark. 

Catch a ride on the righteous East Australian Current with Crush the sea turtle and his little dude, Squirt. But where’s Nemo? 

Just keep swimming til you find him!

"Explore the Aquarium

Once your underwater adventure ends, encounter an ocean of fun in The Seas with Nemo & Friends Pavilion. Get close up with clown fish, sharks and more in the massive 5.7-million-gallon saltwater aquarium they call home.

Fun “fins-on” activities teach your guppies about marine biology, sharks and more."

When Addie was riding with Joe, she was sure that Dori winked at her. It made her day!

No doubt one of the best rides was Mission: Space! The kids handled it really well and enjoyed it. Such a cool experience! We probably rode this 5 times. 

"You Are Go for Launch
What’s it like to be an astronaut? You’ll find out on Mission: SPACE!
Before you board, you’ll train for your mission on the X-2 Deep Space Shuttle at the International Space Training Center (ISTC). Each member of your 4-cadet crew will assume an important role: navigator, pilot, commander or engineer. During your flight, cadets will be instructed to initiate a mission-critical sequence… so be prepared!
Next, count down to liftoff—and an incredible mission through space. Dodge meteorites and slingshot around the moon—or enjoy a flight path with breathtaking views of our home planet.
Your crew is counting on you to make the mission a success!
Which Mission Should I Choose?
Journey to Mars with the more intense Orange Mission. Or, orbit the Earth with the less intense—but still exhilarating—Green Mission."

Addie's favorite ride was Frozen:

No joke, we waited for 2 hrs and 15 mins to ride it. What we do to make a little girl's dream come true...

"Let it Go, All Over Again

Find a seat aboard your boat and let the lapping waters take you through a frozen willow forest.

Soon, you’ll be rubbing shoulders with some “boulders”—a.k.a. Kristoff’s family from Troll Valley—before bracing for the cold. 

High up in the icy blue world of the North Mountain, Queen Elsa’s enchanting ice palace awaits. Behold the wonder… and keep an eye out for Anna, Olaf and a few more Frozen friends. 

This enchanting “Summer Snow Day” celebration—complete with many of your favorite Frozen tunes—is sure to melt even the coldest hearts!

Know Before You Go

This song-filled journey is a slow-moving boat ride with backward and forward plunges down short waterfalls. You may get wet!"

And we enjoyed a Scandinavian pastry, so yummy!

At the end of the day it was fun to see the planet Earth lit up:
