EPCOT...
We rode our first ride on the skyliner over to EPCOT. It was pretty fun. We talked to a lady from Arizona that said she goes to WDW about four times a year and spends two weeks there by herself. We all couldn't believe it. We got dropped off in France. Then we headed towards Norway.
On our way through the United Kingdom we got a couple of cute pictures in their telephone booths.
Found more golden statues...Coco!
Also saw Minnie on our way!
We were able to get a Lighting Lane for Frozen Ever After with an additional fee of $46.88. It was a really cute dark ride but it's crazy to me that they charge extra but we get to see more without the lines that way.
We then went to Mexico and rode the Gran Fiesta Tour Starring The Three Caballeros. It was cute too!
This is the EPCOT Experience, an immersive look at the new attractions and ideas transforming the Park.
I think this was the inside out donut which is vanilla with Bavarian cream.
And this is a vanilla donut with strawberry sugar, strawberry ice cream, fresh strawberries and strawberry gele. We then waited in line for about 25 minutes for Spaceship Earth ride. This is a ride that explores the history of innovations from the Stone Age to the Digital Age. It was fun!
Had to get a picture of Kacie talking to Cole which happened often. We were waiting to get on the Test Track with our lightning lane. This is the car that Scott and I designed. We got last in every category except for speed where we got first...haha!
This seemed like more fun than I remembered. I think they added more to it.
We got a few pictures with cars after the ride plus the car we created even though they didn't turn out the best. We then had to get Scott some food so we ordered some fish n chips with their mobile ordering system. We then walked over to the United Kingdom and picked them up at the Yorkshire County Fish Shop for $55.32. We couldn't believe how huge the filets were, pretty tasty!
These birds were everywhere trying to get handouts!
After we got done eating we headed over to Canada and watched the film, "Canada Far and Wide in Circle-Vision 360". It was pretty cool!
We got these pictures with Mickey before we watched Pixar Short Films in 4D. They were cute except for our awful masks!
We then went on Journey into Imagination with Figment and The Seas with Nemo & Friends. They were cute dark rides. After Nemo we went through a 5.7 million gallon aquarium. We saw sharks, rays, dolphins, sea turtles and tons of other fish. We then saw Awesome Plant an on-screen exploration of the realm we call home-showcasing the beauty, diversity and dynamic story of Earth. After that we rode Living with the Land where you travel through the greenhouses of the land to see the tasty side of science, featuring innovative food-growing techniques. Then we rode Soarin' Around the World a hang-gliding flight across the globe, it was cool! Somewhere in between we got some pictures with Vanellope Von Schweetz from Wreck-It Ralph.
We then headed to the World Showcase starting with Mexico, Norway and then we got some pictures at China. Next was the Outpost then Germany. Scott was really bummed they didn't have any German chocolate for sale but we did get some cookies and a cupcake at the Karamell Kuche Candy Shop.
Though Imagineers used Rome's famous 'The Fontana di Trevi" as an inspiration for the piece, the Trevi fountain does not represent Neptune, but rather the spirit of Ocean. The Trevi is Italy's capital city's largest fountain and arguably one of the most beautiful in the world. Tradition holds that if visitors throw a coin into Trevi the fountain using the right hand over the left shoulder that they are ensured a return again. We took this picture while Scott was trying to find Brady some Italian pizza unfortunately you had to have a reservation so we got him some back at the hotel. All day we were worried that we wouldn't be able to go on Remy's Ratatouille Adventure because it kept closing. We were so relieved that it opened just before our Lightening Lane started at 7:30. It was such a cute 3D ride. We rode in little mice cars spinning around to different movie sets and it felt like we were a small mouse just like Remy. It was so fun! As we were leaving we couldn't believe how long the Lightening Lane was because of all the closures. We were so lucky!!! We also paid 46.88 to get our LL.
Kacie got an adorable cream colored sweatshirt from France with Mademoiselle Minnie, little light pink flowers and Eiffel Towers . On the back it said Oh la' la' Epcot World Showcase. It is so cute!! We also walked through Morocco, Japan and The American Adventure where we found a great spot to watch the new Harmonious show. Discover a celebration of our world and its promise in this all-new nighttime spectacular. Familiar Disney songs, reinterpreted by a culturally diverse group of artists from around the world, come to magnificent life on World Showcase Lagoon with fireworks, fountains, lighting effects, lasers and more, illuminating our shared humanity and showcasing the magic of possibility.
As we were walking back to ride the skyliner they told us it was broke down and that we would have to catch a bus back to our hotel. After waiting over an hour for the bus and not seeing any end in sight we got our first Uber. We were a little nervous but it worked so good we wished we would have done it earlier. It was a fun day but we were pretty worn out. I walked 23,682 steps or 10.3 miles. Brady got his pizza at the hotel ($9.57)
