Epcot

Even though we had a late night we still got up early the next day to head to Epcot. 13 hours at Hollywood Studios was more than I wanted so we decided first thing that we would break the day up by coming back to the hotel instead of staying all day to watch Illuminations. I had a better idea of how things worked and was ready to tackle the touring plan. On the bus we studied the map and went over the plans. First we headed to Soarin' and since there was no wait Allie, Blake and Justin hopped right on (I don't do heights although they got me on it before the week was over). As soon as we got off we raced over to Test Track, rode, then headed back to Soarin' with fastpasses. The Seas with Nemo and Friends was a cute ride but some kids ran up and got on the clamshell next to Blake and Allie so all 4 of us had to squeeze into one! Blake was picked to talk to Crush (the turtle) and mentioned that his aunt brought him so then I had to talk to Crush. It was a cute show but I could have gone without talking to a turtle! Today's lunch was at Akershus Royal Banquet Hall in Norway. This was a character meal that included the princesses. Allie's eyes began to light up as soon as we stepped inside and saw some of the princesses. Our first princess was Belle. Allie acted a little nervous but totally excited as she had her picture taken with her. The food was great I thought but Allie's eyes were on who was coming next. She had her picture taken with each one and they signed her book. I think she giggled through the whole meal. We ran into Donald in Mexico and then Blake and Allie played in the fountain because it was really hot. We had a chat with Rafiki before going into one of the stores. Allie picked out piglet and Blake wanted Stitch. We drank some coke and watched the Circle of Life before heading back. As we were heading back to the hotel the kids decided they would rest for a little before going swimming. We were surprised by the order but thought it sounded good. Well, they didn't last long and were probably out for about 2 hours. We headed back to Epcot to eat at Sunshine Season's Food Fair before picking our spot for Illuminations. Another late night but this was probably my favorite day. Epcot was not crowded at all!!!! We could move around very easily and there were no lines for anything! It was just a relaxing fun day!
