Florida vacation - Epcot

8/3/2009
This morning, we slept in, had a yummy breakfast provided by Grandmommy, and went swimming in the hotel pool. Gator finally worked up enough nerve to go down the water slide - in fact, he did it 10 times!). Bull wasn't tall enough yet.
We arrived at Epcot after lunch and went straight to the Nemo ride and pavilion. Turtle Talk was a hilarious, great show! We explored the aquarium for a little while afterward the ride and show were over.
Our next stop was the very cute and relaxing Figment ride. Bull loved Figment and kept looking for him to pop up again! We explored the Imagination Pavilion for a little while after the ride and then hit "Honey I Shrunk the Audience." That was a mistake. The movie is old and a little too scary for my kiddos.
We headed over to the Epcot Character Spot where we got to meet Mickey and Minnie,

Pluto, Donald,

and Goofy all in one shot.

We waited an hour, but it was well worth it! Once I reminded Gator that there were just people inside of costumes, he warmed up to the characters. Bull thought Donald's tail was really funny for some reason. This stop alone made the trip to Epcot worthwhile.
We got some dinner and stopped at Spaceship Earth on the way out of the park. The virtual games after the ride were a hit. We got some Nemo bathtoys, an Etch a Sketch and Mickey light sabers as our souvenirs today. And we caught some of the fireworks show too.
