Epcot

As a family we love Epcot. It's totally Disney but not as crowded as the Magic Kingdom. And today I was pretty excited because I got to meet up with one of my March 2011 moms and her family.  Candace has been a huge asset to our Disney planning.  

We arrived at the park just after 9 AM when it opened. We met Candace and her team at the seas area and started our day riding the finding Nemo attraction. The kids got to take pictures with the various fish from the movie findingNemo. We also explored the massive inside aquarium which included sea turtles and dolphins.
We then made our way over to living with the land area.  We rode Living with the Land boat ride and Soarin.   Both awesome!

We grabbed a quick lunch at the food court. Jason decided to take Charlotte back to the resort for a nap. This left Christopher Sophia and I time to explore Epcot center on our own.  They watched a couple Christmas choirs singing which Christopher loved because he could dance. It's so cute to see your child dancing in the street at Disney World. Everyone just keeps smiling. 
We hopped on test track a couple
Times and went and tested various coke brands at the free testing area.

Jason and Charlotte came back around 4 PM and we made our way to the world showcase. We ended up connecting with Candace and her family again when will the kids played we are able to catch up and talk all things Disney.  The kids even had the opportunity to have their photo taken with Pere Noel.  We said our goodbyes and made our way to the Japanese pavilion. We had a reservation at the Tepan Edo restaurant.  Basically a Japanese chef cooks your meal in front of you. The table is made up of a very hot skillet.  I opted in for the fillet minion.  The chef made this volcano of onions.  The kids were in awe.  Disney has yet to disappoint me.
The whole experience will be remembered forever.  
We left the restaurant full.  But still a little room for some pastries from The French pavilion area. (Thanks for the recommendation Candace)

Sophia had Chocolate mouse, Chris and Charlotte shared a giant chocolate chip cookie and I had the creme brûlée. 
We took our time walking back through Epcot enjoying the beautiful Christmas lights and displays.  There was even a water/lights show.

Back to the hotel just after 9pm where we all crashed for the night.
