Disney Days: Epcot

Our last Disney day was Epcot on Thursday (or Epicot as Lily kept calling it). Epcot is divided into two sections: Future World and World Showcase. We spent most of our time in the Future World area. One of the best rides at Disney, Soarin', was there. Basically you are suspended in a glider 40 ft in the air, watching beautiful scenes of California on a giant IMAX screen. It really feels like you are flying and is pretty awesome. We did the Nemo attractions and Spaceship Earth (the attraction in the big ball that is the recognized symbol of Epcot) and a few other things. Zach fell asleep watching the 3-D Captain EO movie. It was late afternoon by the time we started to make our way around the World Showcase and by that time Lily and Zach had about had enough. That area is more just like a walk through the countries of the world, with places to eat and not much to keep the little kids entertained. We didn't get very far. So we headed back for another turn on Soarin' and then called it a day.

Oh no! The children have been eaten by a shark!

  Anwyn took this picture of Jared and I. Notice Lily in the front--she is busy catching love bugs. Catching the bugs is a favorite pastime of our children, even at Disneyworld.

 Anwyn is holding up the earth! The space ship version, at least.

Our visit coincided with the annual Flower and Garden festival, so we also got to enjoy the brilliant botanicals.
