Disney - EPCOT

We made it!!  After flying in and getting settled into our resort, we didn't waste any time.  We were off to dinner at the Wilderness Lodge for the Hoop De Doo review show, one of a few dinner shows they offer.  It was cute and the novelty of being "at Disney" was still very fresh for the kids.

 Showtime -

 

 Unbeknownst to us, the Wilderness Lodge is geographically undesirable to our resort area.  We managed to wind our way back home, not before posing with a nice topiary Mickey at the Contemporary.

 

We loved the topiaries so much, we decided to make EPCOT our first stop, seeing it was the last day for the garden festival and there were topiaries ALL OVER the part.  It really was beautiful. So easy to get to EPCOT from our hotel, short walk. 

 

First full day, so excited -

 

Posing with the topiaries -

 

We loved Turtle Talk, a interactive animated big screen with Crush from Nemo.  Crush talked to Luke first which was very cute. 

 

 

Luke LOVED the fountains, our water guy -

We had to go in the big golf ball!



 

Lunch in Mexico, which was a very cool space with an inside ride and a volcano -

 

Still in Mexico, passing time as a storm passed -

 

Took this one for Grandpa.  The Terracotta Warriors in China.  Luke really liked it and was asking all kinds of questions.  I told him that Grandpa and Grandma have been and will take him there!

 

We knew Paige had enough when she wouldn't get out of the stroller to see Belle and the Beast topiary...it was time to head home -

Yep, crashed out!

 Nothing a little sugar couldn't cure, back at the resort -

 

The back of our resort was beautiful, a nice lake and a view of the boardwalk -

 

Everyone got their second wind after dinner so we headed back to EPCOT to see the Illuminations show w/fireworks.  Paige, of course, was putting on her own show for the people as we waited, dancing around to the music.
