Epcot Day

Our last day of parks was at Epcot. Epcot is such a big park and while we had a lot of fun, I don't think we saw even a quarter of things to see there! You could probably spend 3-4 days there and still have plenty to explore and do!

Everyone was a little tired this morning so the whining was a bit much. However, bribing them with a little candy got my children to smile for a picture!!



When we got in the park, our first stop was to ride the Frozen Ever After ride. We had a fast pass for it, but it wasn't until 7:00 at night. We knew there was no way the kids would make it that late, so we decided to ride it first. It was quite a hike to get over to Norway and then we had to wait about 30 minutes in line. The line kept moving so it didn't feel like it took too long. It was a nice ride and everyone enjoyed it .


The line to meet Elsa and Anna was about 45 minutes long, so we took our picture with the topiaries they had. The kids didn't seem to really mind the difference!!








After Frozen, we walked all the way back over to The Land to use our first fast pass at Living with the Land. The kids loved the boat ride and had such a great time looking at everything they were growing. Our next fast pass was next door at the Seas where we went to "Turtle Talk with Crush" followed by the Nemo and Friends ride.


Lucy loved getting to take her picture inside of Bruce the shark!


As we were leaving the Seas, we saw this momma duck with her tiny baby ducklings. They were so cute!

We headed all the way over to Germany next for our reservation at the Biergarten.



We had a wonderful meal. When I made the reservations, it asked if anyone had allergies, so I listed that the boys had a milk allergy. Once we arrived at our table, a chef came out and walked me through the whole buffet and showed me what foods the boys could eat. He also brought out some fruit and allergy friendly desserts for the boys since there were none they could eat. I was really impressed with all they did to make sure that everyone was able to enjoy their meal.

Towards the end of our meal, it was time for the entertainment. The kids really enjoyed listening to the band and watching them play all the different instruments.




Towards the end of the show, they invited anyone down who wanted to dance. Well, you don't have to tell my kids twice!!!



When it was over, Charlie and Alex were both upset. They said that the band didn't give them enough time to dance!!!


On our way to lunch, we had seen Snow White outside in Germany. We went and got in line after we ate so that we could meet her. We had to wait about 20 minutes, but it was nice to have a little time to just rest.

When Snow White came out, you should have seen Charlie light up! He was so excited to meet her!!









Charlie wanted his own picture with Snow White. I asked him later if he liked meeting Snow White and he said, "Mommy, I love her!"




After Snow White, we booked it over to France in order to meet Aurora, Harper's favorite princess. We stopped by some beautiful flowers to try to get a nice picture to send to Mama Mae . ..  as you can see, they weren't quite up for it!


You can always count on Lucy though for a sweet smile!


When we got over to Aurora, we were just in time. They only had one more family get in line behind us before they said they weren't taking any more people in this group. I'm so glad we were able to get to see her - we didn't think we would originally!









 Before we knew that we would be able to have dessert for the boys in Germany, I had promised them that I would take the to get shaved ice in Japan. And once you promise the boys something sweet, you better follow through!!!


While sitting, we got to listen to some Taiko drummers.


The was about all the time we had for the world showcase. We went back to the Land so that we could use our Fast Passes for Soarin'. We did stop on the way though so Lucy could take her picture with the dancing hippos.



The boys were declared too small for Soarin' so Teresa and I sat with the boys and Rosa while everyone else rode. Lucy came out, so excited, declaring this her new favorite ride. We had a rider switch pass so Teresa and I took Harper and Lucy back on again while everyone else went to the Circle of Life show. If we would have let her, Lucy would have ridden that ride for the rest of the evening!

We stopped by Club Cool which is advertised as having all kinds of different flavors of Coke to try. Turns out they only had about six different flavors. They did have Beverly though, an extremely disgusting flavor! Lucy was willing to try it though!



Harper wanted to try it too.

Before we left, we rode Spaceship Earth. The boys were so tired and the ride is slow and dark - they both fell asleep during the ride! After that, we were clearly done for the day and headed back to the car - look at these tired boys!



We picked up a quick dinner and went back to the house. As you can see, we were almost too tired to eat!!!
