So my spring break update was delayed. With movers coming and a quick weekend beach trip, my blog run came to a screeching halt! I am attempting to pick up where I left off. I have a little more then a week sitting in an empty house, perfect time to catch up our families journal!
Epcot!
Our last day at Disney. We spent this day at Epcot. I don't know if it is because there are less rides here, or if it is bigger and more spread out, but it always seems less busy here. It is a breath of fresh air! We love the giant golf ball, Spaceship Earth. The boys were pretty thrilled too and wanted to take it home with them. Sorry boys...don't think we can fit that in our van, despite it's massive cargo capacity!
I love this park. I love the little taste you get of foreign countries, the rides at the front of the park, and mostly just meandering around like I would if I was in a foreign land.
We took the boys on the Finding Nemo ride, and they loved it of course. The best part is, after the ride you are in the Seas building and can look at all the aquariums. It is pretty relaxing.
Most of our morning was scheduled with our fast passes, which was nice. We didn't wait in one line that whole morning!
Outside Mission Mars. Dad and Anya went on this ride. The others were to nervous or get motion sick like me! We did find a cool Buzz Lightyear statue bush in front of the ride. The boys love Buzz, so they had to have a picture. I love how Jack is taking aim at me with his bubble gun. So serious about it too!
In "England". Love this area. I really could have taken this picture of a street in Europe!
All the kids loved this fountain in "Morocco".
Of course, I loved "Germany". They even had a crystal store filled with crystal pieces from Neustadt a.d. Waldnaab. This was maybe 20 minutes from where we lived in Bavaria, and I frequented the Nachtman's Crystal factory often. I have a ton of crystal...just ask Matt!
It was so fun to see it in Disney World, and fun to see the exorbitant prices, and know that I paid a few Euros for the same piece at the factory back in Germany.
Jack begged and begged for this picture.
He said" Look at me, I stopped the score from Goofy".
So cute!
We had a dinner reservation in the San Angelo Inn mexican restaurant in "Mexico"
It is cool, because it is all inside, but mocked to look like you are outside at dusk with a volcano and Mayan ruins in the background. You eat on the patio of the "inn". It is really neat. The food was not the greatest, and not cheap, but the ambiance is pretty awesome. There is a similar restaurant in Disneyland CA called the Blue Bayou. It is inside the Pirates ride, and mocked to be perpetually dusk. We love eating at these places...its the magic of Disney imagery!
After Dinner, we had finished our time in Epcot. So we hopped over to Magic Kingdom to spend one last evening in this magical park. The park closed at 1am this night, and we stayed clear to closing. We went on all our favorite rides one last time. We even got Cora to go on all the Mountain rides, even Space Mountain. She was so brave, and even said that they were all fun. We are so excited to have another Roller Coaster buddy to go on rides with!
We ended the night with Peter Pan....we thought. But when we got off we looked longingly at It's a small world, and the ride attendant, who was shutting down the ride, asked if we wanted to go. We asked if it was ok, and they said of course! It's Disney! There's always time for one more ride!
By the time we got off, the park was virtually empty. Just a few stragglers here and there waiting to see the closing light show on the castle.
It was pretty neat.
We love Disney, and can't wait until we get to come back again!
Disney Magic!
