Originally we planned on going to the Magic Kingdom only while we were there. We were going to do MK on Sun and Mon and swim and play at the hotel on Tues before driving home that afternoon. Sunday was such a good day at MK and we got everything on our list accomplished so we decided to hit Epcot on Monday. Bryce remembered really liking Epcot when we went 3 years ago and had been asking us to go there. I'm so glad we listened to him and went there! We had another great day! We got there at 8:30 and waited for them to open at 9.
On our walk in we saw Daisy Duck, and NO LINE! We ran over and met her.
This one deserves a gold medal for walking everywhere without complaining at all. My feet and legs were tired every afternoon so I know his were too, but he never said one word about being tired or his legs hurting. He never complained that CeCe got to ride in the stroller and he didn't. ROCK STAR!!
We got Fast Passes for Soarin and then went to ride Nemo. The aquariums there were great and of course we had to have our picture taken inside Bruce's mouth!
The night before my friend Julie texted me that they were in Disney too! She and I were friends in Pensacola (her son Jacob and Bryce were friends too!) and now she lives in California so it was awesome to see her and Jacob for a few minutes!
When we went 3 years ago Bryce didn't care about meeting the characters, he wasn't scared, just more interested in the rides! CeCe has always loved a character so I felt like we should meet a few for her. Her favorites are Mickey and his pals so we decided to wait in the line that had Mickey, Pluto and Minnie. I'm so glad we did! I missed capturing the first part of this hug but she ran to Mickey with her arms wide open to hug him when it was finally her turn. She was so happy to hug them!!!
After meeting those characters we headed into the country section of Epcot. It was lunch time so we walked to the UK and lunched on delicious fish and chips! Bryce loved looking at the pictures inside the USA building and trying to decide what time period they were from.
We made sure to head to Japan in time to hear the drum show.
It was amazing!
We stopped in the Africa section to play the drums
CeCe saw Mary Poppins and Alice in Wonderland while we were in the UK and wanted to meet them. The lines were already cut off by the time we walked up though so we couldn't meet them. She got a little upset so I promised her we would meet someone that afternoon. She chose Snow White (the day before she chose a Snow White doll for her Disney happy, not sure why but Snow White was her favorite princess on this trip! She's really not into the princesses and won't sit and watch the movies with me!) This Snow White was awesome. She talked to each girl for a few minutes each and was really into character. CeCe LOVED it!
It was another GREAT Disney day for us!
So great that we decided to buy an extra days worth of tickets and head back to the Magic Kingdom for a 1/2 day on Tuesday! The kids were over the moon when we surprised them with that!!!!
