We did the parks roughly in this order...Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Animal Kingdom (back to Magic Kingdom for the evening), Hollywood Studios (back to Downtown Disney for the evening), and then Magic Kingdom again for our last day (which happened to be Thanksgiving Day). We went in that order largely due to crowd forecast and then went back to Magic Kingdom the last day because hands down, it was everyone's absolute favorite.
So here's a peek at our fun for the day at Epcot...
"The Epcot Ball" (and ughhh...I can't get this turned around, blogger is being a turkey, so please forgive the necessary head tilt for this one).
This huge sphere is the signature Epcot icon. This attraction takes you through a 16 minute riding tour of the history of technology, from the dawn of time until present day, and into the future. And the whole tour spirals INSIDE of the enormous Epcot Ball!
This pic is a screen shot of the "future" that Emilee and I created based on an interactive questionaire that we answered on the ride. It was pretty cool as they used face shots of us and put us "into" our future.
A pic of the monkeys as we waited...
To see the all important Nemo!!
And just before lunch Emilee wasn't feeling well. So I decided to take her and Carter back to the hotel. Carter and I enjoyed some down time poolside and Em took a long nap in the room.
Joshua and Trevor stayed and explored the rest of Epcot, which worked out perfectly as the remainder of the park is largely visual international displays and yummy food. Not exactly Carter-friendly, but VERY fun for Daddy and Son!
Some yummy pastry from France...
And you can't miss a beer and brat from Germany...
As they blasted off on the thrill ride Mission Space...
They got to see several awesome "street performances" like this acrobatic one...
And one of my favorite pics of Trevor from the trip...a likewise pose with a statue!!
