Disney Day 5- Epcot

Oh how we love us some Epcot! It's John's favorite park, and it's right up there with MK for me. Both great for different reasons.

We had breakfast reservations at 8:15 at Akershus, so we headed to the bus stop since the monorail wasn't running yet. Well, the bus to Epcot wasn't running yet either {Ugh!} so we had to take a taxi. My parents were already there waiting on us, and my brother didn't come to breakfast.

Belle poses with guests right when you walk in. Sinclair had no interest and B was being shy. :)

Joining Snow White for a parade around the restaurant!

C was thrilled she got to carry Snow White's basket!

Twirling!

My mom bought the girls their cute Snow White outfits. 

B finally warmed up enough for a hug! :)

All smiles for Aurora

Sinclair was funny about who she would and wouldn't pose with. She liked all the hooded characters (Mickey, Minnie etc) but would only pose with a few princesses over the course of the week.

SC loves chatting up the characters! I wish I could remember what she was saying.

After breakfast, the boys headed to their Fast Passes at Test Track {my brother came just in time for his} and the girls all headed to the Character Spot to meet Mickey, Minnie, and Goofy.

Hugs for Goofy

Last time SC didn't like Goofy, so I was glad she wanted to pose with him this time.

I was so glad the Photo Pass photographer captured SC jumping for joy as she ran to Minnie! <3 br="" nbsp="">

And Sinclair's face in the background is cute too!

While we were in there, it started pouring! My mom was tired and not feeling great, so she decided to go back to the hotel for a massage. I hated for her to leave because I think she would've had so much fun at Epcot, but she had a good, relaxing day at the resort. And she didn't have a poncho with her, so I'm glad she didn't stay and get drenched.

The boys met us after they finished Test Track, and we headed to the Seas with Nemo and Friends, one of my girls' favorite rides! After that we did Turtle Talk with Crush.

The girls wandered around and posed with Bruce, and then we headed for our first Fast Pass at Spaceship Earth. It was still pouring at this point. Curran and Sinclair rode SE with Christopher, and Sinclair accidentally hit the Chinese language button, so they couldn't understand anything the ride was saying. I hated that for Christopher, because I love that ride, but the girls thought it was hilarious, and Curran wrote about it for a school assignment {although she called it Spanish and not Chinese}.

{we forgot a pencil so she had to write in pen}

After Spaceship Earth, my dad went back to the hotel to meet my mom, and the rest of us headed to World Showcase for lunch. The Quinns ate in China, and my brother and the Heys ate in Italy. {We didn't see the Heys again until dinner.} All SC wanted was a Mickey ice cream bar, so we went on the hunt for one before she had a complete meltdown. It was still raining, but it went back and forth between steady rain and drizzle, so it was more manageable than the earlier downpour.  But by that point we were completely soaked anyway, so it really didn't matter. And we actually had a lot of fun walking around the countries for a while and looking around despite the rain.

We could tell SC was getting sleepy, so we strolled along the bumpy cobblestones in the United Kingdom until she was asleep {bumps have always lulled my kids to sleep :) } and we enjoyed a little band that was playing on the street. SC got a good stroller nap while we walked around, and then John sat with her while she slept, and I took Curran on Living with the Land and our Fast Pass for Soarin'. We got a rider switch, so Walter and John took Curran on Soarin' for a second time while I sat with SC who was still sleeping.

John took this while they were waiting at Soarin'. Baby Pluto got to ride buckled up with Curran. :)

 When SC woke up, I took her on Nemo again {we had a Fast Pass for it around 12:30 but ended up not using it because there were never any lines, and we wanted lunch at that time instead}. The Heys left for the hotel around this time. My brother and John took Curran on Nemo after us, and then we wandered around the aquarium for a while. My brother left for the hotel, and we decided to get a snack {another Mickey bar for SC}. The sun had come out at this point and we were so happy! The Food and Wine Festival was going on, so we walked around World Showcase for a long time sampling different snacks and beers. We sampled from China, Japan, USA, the UK, Germany, Belgium, Puerto Rico, Mexico, Italy, and Africa. I may be forgetting a few but that's most of them. We got a waffle in Belgium that was delish, and a beef tenderloin dish in Africa that was super spicy but good {beers were enjoyed from all the other countries listed :) }. It was SO much fun!! Probably the favorite part of our day!

Posing in Germany

 We met Aladdin and Jasmine in Morocco which was fun because we had never met them before. The girls really wanted to meet Mulan too, but we never saw her out.

Hugging my girls, but he only has eyes for Jasmine :)

We made our way towards Journey Into Imagination with Figment, which was also new to us this trip. The girls thought it was cute and had fun in the play area afterwards.

SC is not the biggest fan of smiling for the camera. :/

Afterwards we stopped in front of Spaceship Earth for a few pictures, and my parents and brother happened to be coming into the park so Walter joined us, and we headed towards Mexico for our 7pm dinner reservation at San Angel Inn. The Heys eventually arrived; they were an hour late. Ahem. :) We all enjoyed dinner and the atmosphere was neat. Mom and Dad had a 7:15pm reservation in Canada at Le Cellier, and then they met us in Mexico for Illuminations {the fireworks show} right at 9:00pm. We all enjoyed it, and we thought we would be able to hit up a few other countries for drinks before the park officially closed, but everything was shut down, so we headed to the monorail to head home.

Curran fell asleep in the stroller before we exited the park {above}, and we bathed SC when we got home and then all got in bed. Such a wonderful, wonderful day!!!

Up next, our last day- Magic Kingdom again!
