Epcot

We love Epcot!

Science-y stuff to start. 

Under the sea with Nemo and Crush... Then Soarin' over the land. 
This is the part I remember most vividly from my trip here when I was 9... stepping on shapes to make percussion sounds. 
Contributing to the mural... It's paint by number. So they give you a bit of paint and a brush and tell you to paint 5 boxes of a specific number. 
Then we began our tour of the countries. We skipped lunch and instead bought one thing in each country and all split it. So we ate our way through the countries, each getting a little taste as we went along. The last few countries we got smaller treats because we were full! (:
Canada - amazing movie!
U.K. - great band with songs by The Who and others. 
Norway - great princesses!
Mexico - Aztec pyramids, Olmec heads, and Donald
Germany - told the kids we'd share a beer but they opted for popcorn instead. 
China - amazing acrobatics on roller skates on an 8' round table!
France - kinda forgot to take a photo. Oops. 
Morocco - fun memories for me as it was very authentically done. 
Italy - could not say arrevadercci well! (In each country, we tried to greet the workers at the kids' table with "hello" and "thank you" or "goodbye" in their language.)
Japan - I tried to take a typical Japanese girl photo. 
Back in the science-y part, we designed cars then rode on the Test Track ride. 

At the end of the evening, I did laundry at one of the resort hotels while the kids went on the Frozen ride with Scott. We don't have laundry at our campground or even nearby. So the easiest way to get it done was to take it with us. We had originally planned for the kids to watch a movie, because they show a different Disney movie at each resort in the evenings. But the Frozen ride had such a long line, we decided that would be a good way to end the day. 
The hotel was so close to Epcot, while the load was running I was able to go back and walk around a bit in my own. They even have a website where you can monitor when your machine is done. (:
