More Disney World

Our 2nd full day in Orlando found us relaxing by the pool all morning. The kids love the water and had a great time on the Keester Coaster (waterslide).













Around lunchtime we cleaned up and headed out to find lunch and go to Epcot. Mike didn't think we'd see any characters, so we didn't bring our Autograph books. Within 5 minutes of entering the park we regretted that decision!

Upon entering a toy store in London, we saw Mary Poppins, Alice, Winnie the Pooh, Tigger and Eeyore!!! They were all wonderful and signed the kids hats.

Logan's favorite ride was Mission to Mars. Of course, we had to do the Intense Mission - which everyone loved, with the exception of my stomach! Guess I'm getting old.. LOL.

Next we went to Earth w/Ellen and learned about fossil fuels and energy by going back in time to visit the dinosaurs. Nemo & Friends and the Circle of life were favorites as well. Nemo and Friends empties out into a big area with aquariums full of saltwater fish, dolphins and manatees!

The kids enjoyed Spaceship Earth which gave you a glimpse of the future and at the end of the ride, put you in a little video about what your life could be like! It was fun and the kids liked seeing themselves in the video.

There were all kinds of character bushes all over Epcot.We had dinner in Mexico, visited Norway, China and Italy. We then moved onto the American Adventure and Museum. Both our kids love to learn about things, so it was a lot of fun for all of us seeing different artifacts from American history as well as learning more about Ben Franklin and Mark Twain. Alexis had recently learned about Ben Franklin, so she enjoyed finding out a bit more about him.

We ended our day with a fantastic fireworks display at the Epcot Center. A great time was had by all and we were tired!

Tomorrow we're off to a Character Breakfast with Minnie Mouse and then over to Animal Kingdom for a Safari!
