Trip to Epcot

Day two featured our Princess lunch at Epcot. It was going to be a hot one--close to 90! When we arrived, we went to some of the things in future world. One of the first was the Nemo attraction. A fun ride through (in a clam), then a great interactive auditorium-style attraction with Crush the turtle. Fun!

I decided I wanted a spin on Test Track. Pretty neat. You are a 'crash dummy' going through an indoor trial of antilock breaks (not working the first time!), elements tests, and then the big finale--revving up, breaking through the wall, and out on the outdoor track. Pretty fun!

We wanted to go searching for the princesses, so we headed to the bridge to France. It did not open until 9, so we needed to wait a little, recharge with water, and of course, snacks. When it did, we began our day of princesses. We saw Belle (in her blue dress) and then Marie of the Aristocats. That was fun as Marie bowed to the girls (in their princess dresses), then fluffed up her hair for pictures. We waited in line for Aladdin and Jasmine, but then the girls did not want to see them. We crossed back to go looking for Alice. Daddy's favorite part! We began to see how the princesses really get into character. More snacks followed, especially the girls chasing some weird little birds!

We continued our search of the princesses, meeting Mulan, Snow White, and finally it was time for our lunch at Norway--Akershus Princess Dining. A decent lunch, and then we met Belle in her yellow dress, Cinderella, Ariel, Sleeping Beauty, and Snow White. Wow! What fun!

After that, about 2ish, the girls were definitely slowing down. Time for a rest back at the resort. But we did try Maelstrom, a Norse ride on a boat (pretty good too!) and Spaceship Earth, inside the big silver ball. The heat wore us all out, so we went back to the hotel. We got to the pool playground after some rest, ready for the next day back at Magic Kingdom.
