Epcot

We didn't think we'd end up going to Epcot because we had heard there wasn't much for little kids to do. But we had a 5 day pass and still had a day left and had basically seen everything else we wanted to see. So today, we headed on over to Epcot. Personally, I really like Epcot. Lots of technology and science, which is cool to a dork like me. And speaking of dorks, we went to Target and got all matching shirts and we all wore them today. Disney dorks!!

When we got to Epcot, Ethan saw the big silver ball and said, "There's Apricot!". I think we finally figured out the Fast Pass system pretty well, so we worked the system just right and ended up riding basically everything we wanted to without waiting in lines. Our 2 favorite things at Epcot were "Soarin" (where you feel like you are in a hang glider flying over California) and "Turtle Talk with Crush", which is actually not a ride, but an interactive show with Crush the turtle from Finding Nemo. It's too hard to describe, but was totally amazing.


Another hit was Test Track (you race in a car going 65 mph). Not a hit - that Ethan is only 38.5 inches tall and most cool rides (like Soarin and Test Track...both of which Ethan would love) have a 40 inch minimum. And they definitely check. And Ethan definitely tried (he stood up very straight. On his tiptoes). Poor guy. Guess that's why they say Epcot is not great for the little ones.

So our 5 days of Disney are over. We have 1 more full day of vacation, which we will spend swimming and relaxing and maybe even getting a "tan" (or sunburn).
