Epcot

After we had breakfast with the princesses, we explored the rest of Epcot. Well, really we only saw a fraction of it, but we saw what we wanted to see. When we saw the Epcot ball, Laneah yelled "look! It's the moon!"
We had gotten fast passes to Soarin' before breakfast so we could get right on. On our way to the ride, we ran into Chip and Dale. 








Brooklyn was hesitant at first to be so close to them but ended up giving them hugs and blowing kisses. 


We took turns riding Soarin' since Brooklyn couldn't ride. Jason took Laneah and she loved it. It was her favorite ride in all of Disney. This is a picture of Alex and I getting ready to ride; it was really cool.
Then we went to the Nemo and Friends area. 
We saw Turtle Talk with Crush and both the girls enjoyed that. The waiting area before we went in had a few aquariums full of fish to look at. 

We rode the Nemo ride twice because you could just walk on and the girls wanted to ride it again. 




Inside Bruce:)


The last thing we did at Epcot was meet some characters. A couple of months before we went to Disney I opened up a Disney Visa card. I ended up with $200 in Disney gift cards and some cool perks. One was that you could go to a private card member meet and greet at Epcot with some characters. The line was a little long and they wouldn't tell us what character it was, which was annoying, but when we walked in we were thrilled to see Mickey, Minnie and Goofy! They spent at least 10 minutes with us just playing with Laneah. Plus we got a free photo.
They all took turns dancing with her which was so cute. 
And if you are wondering what on earth happened to Brooklyn; she fell asleep in line. It was poor timing, but she did get to see all three of them again on another day. The photographers wanted some shots with Minnie and Brooklyn and they turned out so cute. 



















We stopped for a photo op but Brooklyn was still sleeping so it looks a little silly:)
Laneah and Alex and I went inside the ball to ride Spaceship Earth while Jason stayed with Brooklyn since she was napping. It was very realistic and at the end it makes a video and puts your face in it so I got this funny video of it. (I will have to upload the videos later because it isn't letting me upload now for some reason)

After the ride Brooklyn woke up so we had lunch and then headed over to Hollywood Studios for the rest of the day.
