Epcot

We love all the parks at Disney...but Epcot is probably our least favorite.  There isn't a huge amount of things to do there.  It's more of a tour of the world with lots of places to eat and minimal rides.  But of course there are a couple of awesome rides that we have to check out each time we go!

Waiting in line to see Pluto.

It amazes me how the characters can sign the books when they can hardly see or feel the pen!  I guess they've had lots of practice!

It was super bright outside.

These guys are pretty talented.  They play the drums on construction equipment like paint buckets, tool benches, and ladders.  They drew quite a crowd!

Getting ready to watch the Finding Nemo musical.

There is a great indoor place at Epcot to meet a lot of characters.

Waiting to ride Test Track.  This ride is one of the awesome ones we look forward to!

This year there was a new feature.  We went into a room and scanned our Disney cards.  We were then able to design our own car to be tested on the test track.  They boys werer TOTALLY into this!  During the ride after each "test", it would show how their car ranked so they kept track of who did the best.  It was a lot of fun!  This was Ethan's car.

This was Caleb's car.

This is a picture of us on the ride.  That's me in the front in the purple stripes with Ethan in the red next to me with his ear's plugged.  Mondo is in the back with his hands up and Caleb is next to him with his hands up. 

We ate at a tasty restaurnant called the Garden Grill.  The whole restaurant rotated around showing different scenes but it moves super slow.  Of course, I could still feel it especially since I was still getting over an illness.  :-/  But the food was great and there was a lot of it!

 

The boys loved coming across this place.  They said, "Look!  It's El Macho's lair!!"  (From Despicable Me 2).  On the inside there was a Mexican restaurant, a store, and a little boat ride kind of like the cave ride at 6 Flags.  Fun little place.

Haha!  Love these two!

We stayed until the park closed to watch the firework/light show on the water called Illuminations.  It was pretty amazing!  Except that we were at the back of the park so next time we'll position ourselves to see it from the front.  But it was still amazing.  Thanks to photographer Ethan for this pic.  :-)
