Disney Day 2 Epcot

 Day 2...... Off to Epcot.
Our smart Mommy took a picture of us every morning
just in case we went wondering and got lost, she 
would have a picture of us every day!
This was our Day 2 photo.

When we got to Epcot we were on a mission... to get Fast Passes (this pass
lets you jump in front of the line) to Soarin. Tell you more
about that ride later.


Nemo's ride that everyone was able to go on.


You ride in a shell and tour the under ground aquarium 
that Disney has Nemo and friends swimming in. Very cool to see
how they make Nemo swim with actual fishies!

"What's for dinner tonight?" 
TWINKIES


This poor fish didn't stand a chance with these 4!


Nemo world, hey there's Dory!!!! Hi Dory!

Seriously, can you stand Ryan as a little boy???
Where is our Baby Ryan?


Mitchell with Mader and McQueen, ok 
so what they are made out of bushes, he didn't complain.


Off to Mexico!!!!!


Big hats, shaky things (can't think of the
proper name) and of course when in Mexico
you must have....
MARGARITAS!!!!!!!
Yes, it was only noon but come on it was vacation! 
Cheers Mere!

Then we quickly moved through different countries in a hunt for....
Princesses!
And luckily we found them in Norway and had 
to have lunch with them of course!
 At Akershus; Royal Banquet Hall.

Ariel.... Delaney's favorite
Belle

Mary Poppins 

The Princesses were all so nice. Mr. Ryan,
however, was not impressed by these beautiful ladies.
He would cry each time one would even walk by.

And hey, when did Mary Poppins become
a Princess? Just saying.


This was my favorite meal of the vacation, great food.






Auroa

Cinderella



After the Princess went around to every table all the Little Princesses and the Little Prince Charmings paraded around the restaraunt dancing and singing. Again, Ry was not having it.









Of course, Miss Cinderella made her appearance as
the last Princess to come into lunch and lead
the parade. I was hoping she would take our girls'
hands to help lead the parade but there was a little girl dressed up as Cinderella behind us who got the honor. Oh well maybe another time.








Once lunch was over we had Fast Passes to Soarin, 
THE  BEST ride ever at Epcot.  









Ok, so this is a ride that if you are afraid of heights you shouldn't go on. You sit in a row side by side and bar comes down over you to hold you in. And off you go up into the air! You watch a HUGE screen that makes you think you are flying. You fly over the Pacific Ocean and smell the salt water, fly over a forest and smell the pine tress, over an orange orchard and smell the oranges! It is crazy. You also fly over a mountain with people skiing down, over a golf course where a golf ball flies right over your head, over waves that make you lift your feet because it really looks like you are going into the water. You end flying over Disney at night with the fireworks. It is an amazing ride!

I  am sure you all know that Mere did NOT experience this ride! 
She didn't even want to talk about so she stayed behind with Ry.

After a wonderful Soarin ride we headed back to
the hotel for a quick dip in the pool, dinner at the resort,
and to head back to the Magic Kingdom.

First ride that night.......
A pirates life for me!
Captain Jack Sparrow, we are looking for you!


Yet again it started to rain! Gotta love our ponchos! It really didn't phase the kids at all. Just more annoying to the Big Kids of the group.













After Pirates Ride, it was still raining.....Surprise, Surprise!
So we headed to another 'covered' ride.
The Jungle Cruise it was for us to get out of the rain.




Still raining....
Heading home.

See ya on day 3....
Wonder where we will head next?????
