Disney Day 1: Epcot

Our first day at Disney we visited Epcot! This year the girls were really into Epcot and all it had to offer. A lot of adults think Epcot is geared more towards adults and not so much kids! I disagree!
and here is why!

When we arrived we rode Finding Nemo first, then we did Turtle talk with crush and explored the aquarium!


After we left the "seas" we went to the "land". Here we rode Soarin (awesome ride!) and Living with the Land, this was a really cool ride because we got to see how Disney grows the vegetables, fish, etc. that we would be eating while in Disney!

When we left the Land headed back to ride spaceship earth. I must be honest. This was my first time EVER on this ride it was neat to go up...then come down. The kids enjoyed "creating their future" on the screen in the ride cart!

I love Epcot because you can knock out majority of the princesses and the fab 5 without a lot of wait!

The fab 5 (Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Donald, Pluto) can be found at the Epcot Character Spot!
The princesses can be found in Norway at Akershus (we saw belle in gold dress, cinderella, sleeping beauty, ariel, and snow white) and throughout the countries (we saw Jasmine, Mulan and Belle in blue dress with the beast!) the longest we waited was 15 minutes and that was for the beast :)




We had Lunch at La Cantina in Mexico (really good Pollo Tacos!)
and then we rode the Gran Fiesta Tour in the Mexico Pavilion!

We went back and rode soarin again before dinner (hello Fastpasses!)
then headed to Norway for dinner at Akershus Royal Banquet Hall!

After dinner we rode Maelstroms (in Norway) and got our snacks for the firework show! The girls went with Mickey Ice Cream Bars!

We enjoyed the fireworks then headed back to the hotel! We originally were planning on staying at the All-Star Music Resort but once we got into our rooms that evening we had distinct mold smell. So we called the front desk and they had us moved to the All-Star Movies! (more on that later!)

Our first day at Epcot was a good one! We knew we had another day to tour the countries so we were relaxed and enjoyed Future World! Stay tuned! Tomorrow we head to Magic Kingdom!
