Epcot Day Two!!
What a BUSY DAY!!!!
We got a late start today, determined no to wear ourselves out. We got to the park around noon and spent the day visiting all the countries. UK was my favorite of course! :D Nathan went and did a special "Behind the Seeds" tour of the Epcot greenhouses while I took the older two over to a neat play area. Sam went with Daddy! :)
We made reservations for StoryBook Dining at the Castle Akershus in Norway. We wanted a nice sit-down meal in one of the countries and figured we had never had Norweigian food before and it was a castle and there were princesses!!! We had already seen most of the other characters so we figured we'd meet the girls. The boys really didn't care but David thought it was pretty cool. Daddy liked Ariel. :P The food was pretty yummy too! I wonder if Jasmine uses a self tanner....
We spent the afternoon, after lunch bumming around the countries and collecting pressed pennies for Big D's book. He also got an autograph book full of character autographs that he can put pictures in too!
France had the OH MY HECK best pastries evah! I had been waiting for that!!!!! Napoleon. YUM. YUUUM. The hubs was peeved I didn't get him a creme brulee, that's why he's making a face in the France pic. Spoiled boy. :D
I loved the little villages and Hummels in Germany also. Thought of mom.
OH! And Davy JONES!!!! Was playing a concert there!!!!! We didn't bother taking the boys in, but it was so fun to hear him singing as we walked around the park!!! Memories.
That night we stayed for the fireworks, which were pretty cool. The boys enjoyed it and it was a GREAT day!!
Our resort was SO nice!!!!! Quiet and very kid friendly. We spent every night after we got back in the hot tub. We never got to use the rockin' pool though, even though it was heated, it was still a bit too cold for my fair weather family!!!
Oh! And that pic of Big D in Mexico. Dang funny. Had everyone around, even the Mexicans laughing. He must have seen that somewhere before! :D

Epcot Day One!
Here's pics from Epcot Day One!
We weren't very well prepared for this day. And I had a blister so I was grumpy. :P
We made it through about half of the place but everyone knows, EPCOT stands for Every Person Comes Out Tired. It's HUGE!!!
But... we rode Soarin' which was AWESOME! (Look it up), and did the UK and Canada. We got to see all the beautiful flowers and topiaries for their Flower Festival! The Nemo ride was awesome too! Ike especially enjoyed meeting Pooh Bear in the UK!!
All in all, a good day but we were all tired and grumpy. Home early that night.

Magic Kingdom Day Two!!!!
Happy Birthday, Granni! We spent the day in your honor at the Magic Kingdom! We started the day in Tomorrowland. The first thing we rode was the Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin! The boys LOVED it!!!!! You shoot Zurg while riding through Toy Story Space. SO COOL!
We also rode the Speedway. I made the mistake of letting Ike drive and had the whiplash to show for it.
We got to meet up with my awesome friend Sandie, a fellow HP fangirl!!!
About two years ago, I ordered a Disney vacation planner DVD. The boys have watched it over and over and knew what to expect and what rides there were, which was helpful. And I had bought a book and asked some friends and so we were prepared. Ike knew he wanted to ride the "train that goes fast in the mountain". I was skeptical. Big D was determined not to ride it!!! But we got up to it, and I told Ike to come on so we could ride and he went right along with it. I knew it was gonna be scary. The kid's not even been on a kiddie rollercoaster! But he knew he wanted to so he climbed right on! I had the lap bar pulled down SO tight cause he's so small, and I still had to hold onto him tight!!! The Big Thunder Mountain Railroad is not known for being a smooth ride. He spent the whole ride saying, "Wheeeeeeeeeeeee-AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!" It was hilarious and I could not stop laughing through the whole ride! I knew Granni was loving that on her birthday!!!!!
So, not one to be shown up, Big D rode it with Daddy. :D
We were exhausted by nightfall!!

Here's pics of the first day of Magic Kingdom. We got up ealry from our hotel and told the boys what we were doing and showed them their matching Mickey Mouse shirts! They were super excited!
We had a blast!!! The boys loved the Pooh Corner ride and Small World best, I think. The Mad Hatter's Tea Party was great but Isaac refused to look up. Maybe a little heavy for his first ride!! But then again, this is the same kid who wanted to ride the "Ghost House" ride over and over!!! (Haunted Mansion!) :D
