2012 recap: Day 4 EPCOT part 2

On Day 4, our friends the Byrds had "learned the way of Disney" so we split up this day! They went and did the Phineas and Ferb experience where you search for Dr. Doofensmurf. Its a cool interactive activity that allows you to find clues throughout the world.

As for the Broadus family-we ate our way around the world-stopping in a visiting the countries. The girls had a great time. We strolled and looked at each country and pretended we were there-and bought a small souvenir-and used it as an education experience.

 We also met some "friends" in the countries. I mean-when  you travel around the world it is great to have friends.

 back to the eating. This is from the bakery in France and its lemon and its AH-MAZING.

 we were walking through a store and ran into Mary. Poppins that is. OH it was magical.

 

Then as we were leaving-we ran into Alice. and walked hand in hand with her to the cottage.

 Some more restaurant pics...like I said. EPCOT=FOOD=Awesome sauce

 Taking a break-touring the world requires some breaks :)

 We had dinner at the Coral Reef. I have wanted to eat here since the Full house episode where Jesse and Joey did their radio show from inside the tank :)

 Newlymarried park goers spending some quality honeymoon time together (and some photo bombers in the back :)

 We got to sit right in front of the aquarium and their was a diving group there! So much fun!!!

and yall-the food. Everyone enjoyed their food, except My husband. It took 2x to get his steak cooked to the proper temperature (Medium Rare) First time was over cooked (Medium Well...OUCH) but for real-who orders steak at a seafood place. :/

 Darla enjoyed her dessert SO much--she licked the plate.

 and was so happy. She let me take a picture of her doing it ;) IT WAS THAT GOOD!!!!

After dinner we were all delirious-so why not another trip to meet the fab 5.

 Then to add to the fun-1 more spin in the BALL

 Then as we are ascending up the ride it stops. Like comes to a dead stop. What happen. Oh ya know-Darla's backpack strap snapped and was caught in the track :) Luckily the Disney employees fixed it fast!

on the bus ride home the girls got the giggles-this is what a good day at Epcot looks like :)

WELL HELLO THERE FRIENDS!

My goodness. Talk about Blog abandonment. Since I have been gon-e we welcomed our 3rd princess (and Disney baby) Amelia Margaret-

 

And then life took off! It has been a world wind year but I am excited to be back BLOGGING Disney again! We are 188 days away from our SURPRISE Disney vacation! The girls still have NO CLUE we are going to Disney at Christmas and this is literally the HARDEST thing ever keeping it a secret because Todd and I are SO excited!!

We are busy working out the plans on how we are going to do the surprise and BOY is it going to be a magical one! 

I am finalizing the plans for our dining reservations and such and will share with you as we get those booked (IN 8 DAYS!) but we will be staying at the Art of Animation Resort this time. The girls have been begging since we toured it during the last vacation-Speaking of which-its been a year since our last vacation so I promise to get up some photos and blogs about that trip!

If you are new here joining from Pinterest-WELCOME I am thankful that you have stumbled into our little magical world. We are a crazy Disney loving family that has had many magical trips and I have lots of fun tips (that you WON'T find) anywhere else!

I have a few hours before feedings so I am going to go ahead and start writing post for the rest of the week! Again thanks for sticking around lets get the pixie dust flying again!
