Day 5 Disney - Epcot
Happy Mother's Day!
What a perfect way for my mom and for me to spend our Mother's Day!
She is the most wonderful Grandmother. She would not have missed this opportunity to be at Disney with her 2 grandsons for anything! It is so incredible to see the MAGIC of Disney through the eyes our our two boys/her two grandsons.
We spent the morning at Epcot. We were there for rope drop! It is an easy 7-10 minute walk from our hotel (or we can take a boatride, about the same length of time as walking).
The boys so loved the Nemo ride and Turtle Talk With Crush (amazing!) on Wednesday evening that we went to that first. We were the FIRST people on the ride and rode it 3 times in a row with no waiting in line. We then saw Turtle Talk with Crush (again) which was fantastic! We toured The Seas and that was great! We then went to Imagination, where we rode the Journey into Imagination Figment ride, and the boys explored the labs. At The Land we ate lunch at Sunshine Seasons (delicious food choices!) and then watched The Circle of Life show. We went inside "the ball" on the Spaceship Earth ride, and then headed back to the hotel where we spent the gorgeous afternoon (91 degrees and sunny) in the hotel pools. They are phenomenal. Donovan even went down a water slide.
We returned to Epcot, and ate dinner at Teppan Edo (Japan). It was similar to Koto's Japanese Steakhouse which we all love. The food was DELICIOUS. After dinner, we walked around The World Showcase at Epcot. In Norway we rode on Maelstrom. We walked along the Boardwalk on the way back to our hotel, which was neat.
We are watching the Epcot Illuminations (fireworks) from our hotel (what a view!!) Tomorrow is Hollywood Studios!
