Disney 2012 - Day 2 - Epcot

Welcome back you lucky survivors.  You have to say it with a Norwegian accent to get the full impact.  Between that and Sam Eagle's "A salute to all nations, but mostly America" line, those may be the favored two quotes from Disneyword.

Epcot day

Started off a bit later, just had to be at the park by 9 which was nice.  So, breakfast was some bars in the car and then off to the races.  Autographs from the big 6 characters and then the first of 5 Soarin' rides throughout the day.  Once again, the crowds were quite good and today the weather held off all day long. 

We hit the big rides, saw manatees and sharks, and had a blast.  Drew continually wanted to sit with Dad, Ben with Mom, and Kate bounced back and forth.  We spent the first couple of hours on the side with the rides prior to heading to the world showcase to see countries and characters.  Came across Mary Poppins, Alice in Wonderland, Belle, Beast, and Snow White among others.  Ate lunch in Japan at their quick service place.  Note to self, eat there every time.  Good food and sort of a hidden nook.  Snack time in Norway....yum.  Mousse and creme puffs. 

Spent the evening bouncing between the two sides for more Soarin', Mission to Space, and back to Mexico.  Ended the night in Norway for dinner which everyone really enjoyed.  Salmon for most which I think Sherri and Kate really dug on.  Drew loved the asparagus, probably equally for how it tasted and for learning what it does to you when you go to the bathroom.  Lots of princesses for pictures.  Kate is rapidly gaining on all of them size wise.

Fireworks to end the night then a walk to the car, two sleeping boys, and gearing up for Magic Kingdom tomorrow.

Favorite rides?  Kate was Mission Space, Drew was Soarin', Ben was probably the Living Seas.
