A great day at Epcot

We all got up and had breakfast at the timeshare.  After packing our lunches, we were off to Epcot.  I had everyone running a little in the beginning because I wanted to set up the day.  And, it worked.  We spent five hours touring Future World.  We visited Spaceship Earth, rode to Mars in "Mission Space", drove a vehicle in "Test Track", boarded a clamobile to visit "The Seas with Nemo and Friends", hang glided on "Soarin', and took a boat voyage to see "Living with the Land." (Note: Yael got scared by the warnings on Soarin' and sat it out.  Too bad because she really would have enjoyed it.)

There were a lot of things to see in between including beautiful flowers and sculptures.

Then, after lunch, we headed over to the World Showcase.  A nice boat ride in MEXICO, a Viking voyage, Maelstrom, in NORWAY, a circle vision film in CHINA, dinner in JAPAN and a show in THE AMERICAN ADVENTURE.  We finished the night with the fireworks display, ILLUMINATIONS.

We had to wait out a thunder storm between NORWAY and CHINA and it rained a little during the fireworks. But, all in all a beautiful weather day.

We found some nice souvenirs -- wedding "Mickey" ears for Brannigan and Ray's upcoming honeymoon to Disney and 2009 graduate "Mickey" ears for Jessica.

I should mention that Yael has been keeping track of her "steps".  At SeaWorld she took 14,000 (about 5.6 miles) but at Epcot, 20,000 (about 8 miles).  

We are all tired but looking forward to another fun day tomorrow when we visit Animal Kingdom.

Pictures to follow in later post.
