Epcot

We started our day bright and early.

Today was Epcot day. One of our favourite parks. We had a dining reservation for 8:40 AM at the Garden Grill. Just like the last time we had breakfast at this restaurant they didn’t disappoint. A delicious spread served family style. All you can eat bacon, sausage, eggs, Mickey waffles, hazelnut sauce, warm syrup and of course my favourite, skillet style cinnamon buns.

We left the restaurant shortly after 9 AM and made our way to the Seas pavilion where we met up with the Aylsworth family. We all jumped on the Nemo ride and everyone enjoyed it. For some reason I always get weepy on this ride. I think it’s because it’s my favourite Disney movie. After we went to turtle talk with Crush. Sophia got called out again to ask a question during the interactive show from the movie finding Nemo and finding Dory. She asked what turtles ate. The hilariously funny turtle had a smart and educational reply as always.

We Headed over to test track to use our 9:30 AM fast pass.

Today was Epcot’s last day of the international festival of the arts. Nice display of different art from around the world. 

After a couple of Mickey pretzels with plastic cheese we decided to check out colour Topia at the innovations pavilion. The kids really enjoyed this interactive display of colour and the emotions associated with color.

We then met up with the Aylsworth family and road test track together.

It was getting late in the afternoon and the sun was hot. We decided to head back to our resort for a little poolside relaxation. I enjoyed a watermelon lemonade and all the kids enjoyed their soda poolside.

Anxious to see Epcot’s evening show Illumination of Earth. We decided to go back to Epcot via the boardwalk entrance. We noticed that Soarin had a short wait time so we made our way back to the land and waited in line for about an hour and enjoyed the ride.

Cross that one of Sophia’s ride list for this trip.

We made our way back over to the world showcase to watch the night show. It was spectacular. Except Charlotte fell asleep in my arms. Making a very difficult walk back to the boardwalk to the vehicle. However I did get to scope out some of the resort hotels in that area. And from the outside and the lobbies they were beautiful and we can’t wait to stay here during one of our future trips.

Another day of memories in the vault.
