Disney Day 2

Monday we were up bright and early for our first ride on the monorail. It is so nice to have the monorail go right through your resort. We just loved it. :) So convenient, particularly if it's raining.


We arrived at Epcot by 9am and sprinted over to grab a quick ride at Test Track and Spaceship Earth before meeting up with my grandparents (and before the line's got too long!).








Once my grandparents got into the park we meandered over to take the boat ride at The Land. We enjoyed a delicious lunch at Sunshine Seasons. All the produce served there is grown right there in The Land and everything is so fresh and yummy, definite repeat spot.

After lunch we enjoyed the Circle of Life and then traveled over to Innoventions where we did the piggy bank exhibit, tested out some segways and designed and experienced our own roller coasters on Sum of All Thrills.


Our last stop in Future World was Soarin', a fairly new ride that provides a 4D experience of the the California coast.

We moved onto the World Showcase, stopping in Canada first to enjoy a movie and Celtic Canadian band "Off Kilter".


In England we enjoyed a quick break and chance to sit down while enjoying another band, "British Invasion". Of course, we also had to stop for a photo-op with Mary Poppins! :)






We enjoyed a movie in France and a stop at our all time favorite bakery. The cheese bread and chocolate eclairs in France are TDF, we frequented this bakery a ton over the course of the rest of the week.


Next was a quick stop in Morocco, followed by a celebrity performance "Voices of Liberty" in the US. We also stopped to watch the show "American Experience". We meandered through Italy and Germany and took a ton of pictures before stopping in China to grab dinner and enjoy a show.



Norway is one of the few countries that offers any sort of ride and it is actually a favorite of my families. There's a bit of trickery in it and you're never quite sure which way you're going to go or how wet you're going to get. :)


We enjoyed another introductory film and stopped for some dessert. Norway is another country that has an incredibly delicious bakery with amazing prices. I highly recommend picking up some cinnamon buns for the next day's breakfast. Delicious!

Our last stop in the World Showcase was Mexico where we enjoyed a quick ride and introductory film.

We had a bit of time to kill before the Illuminations show that night so we stopped at the pavilion where they had a number of GM cars on display. You could also get inside and test out the "feel" so we amused ourselves there for a bit before hightailing it back to get good seats for the show.



By 9pm the show was done and we bid good-bye to my grandparents before catching the monorail back to the resort.
