Disney 2012: Epcot

Most mornings we ate breakfast at the resort.  We found this corner that had a kids table by a TV that would show Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.  For some reason, every morning this back corner was open.  It was perfect for our family to have a nice semi-quiet breakfast together.  Of course, we didn't allow Brian at the adults table...




Day 3 at Disney we spent at Epcot.  Our first ride was Nemo.  Joey is in love with that movie and has no less than 5 Nemo stuffed animals he sleeps with...so he was super excited.  Here's the kids when we got in the park.



Being silly heading to Nemo.


On the Nemo ride.  It was really cute.



At the exit, there was a whole aquarium area that the kids loved.  They got to watch divers in a huge tank and see all kinds of really cool sea creatures.



Even behind the glass Emily was afraid of animals....even this little sea horse.


The other thing they had in this area was a show called "Talking with Crush".  It was a computer animated show that made it look like you were looking into a tank of water.  Crush comes swimming up to the glass and talks to you.  The coolest part was that he actually feeds off of the people in the audience.  He calls on people by what they are wearing and responds to questions.  We went to the show two times and both were hilarious.

While some people were in watching a show, we watched the jumping water.  Grandpa and Emily had an especially good time.




 Some more cute pictures while walking around....







Now for Abby's favorite part.  The princess lunch!!  We went to a restaurant in the Norway section of the Epcot worlds that has all the princesses walking around while you eat.   One at a time they make their way over to your table where you can talk to them and take pictures.  Abby was in heaven!  We met Belle before we even got to our table.






Cinderella and her mini-me.  She asked Cinderella if she was wearing her glass slippers.  She lifted her dress to show her shoes which were brown.  But, she told Abby that her fairy godmother gave her these shoes for today because she is always losing her glass slippers.



Since all our families are Disney card holders we got to go to a special character meeting.  It's random which characters are in there.  Annie was especially happy to see Minne.



All the boys loved the ride Mission Space.  I never did go on it, so I don't even know what was all the rage...but every time they got off there were buzzing with excitement about what level they went on.  The other ride Ethan loved A LOT was Test Track. 


And this is what the kids looked like pretty much as soon as their heads hit the bed each night.


Notice Ethan hugging his journal.
