Forgiven and Saved: Day 3's Magic brought by EPCOT

Epcot is a great park for us to do on our middle day. We just don't tend to stay at Epcot for the number of hours we do the others so it is good to do in the middle because it allows for some much needed rest. When we got to Epcot, I went to get FP for Soarin while Chad and the kids got in line for Test Track. They had a 60 min wait but decided to stick it out which meant I had an hour to explore by myself. Hmmm, what to do? Take pictures, of course! I headed to the World Showcase in the opposite direction than we usually tour. I began in Canada and thought I'd just see how far I'd make it before they were finished. I really wished I had taken my other lens so I could have a better zoom but even without it, I love the pics I got. Epcot is the closest I will probably ever get to travelling to this many (if any) locations outside the U.S.

O' Canada!

On to the U.K.

FYI...I didn't make a pit stop in the pub! Just took a picture!

Je t'aime Paris

While soaking in all I could of Paris, my family wrapped up Test Track and I headed to meet them. I loved the tree at Epcot. It was beautiful day and night.

I went from Paris to under the sea! Claudia, Cooper, and I rode the Nemo ride and then took the traditional picture inside the shark mouth. Once Chad arrived, we went to see Crush the talkin turtle and DUDE, he is so cool.

Thanks to our Disney Rewards Visa, we get to have a private character meet & greet along with a free 5x7 picture. This year it was Minnie and Goofy again but we were still happy to see them with no line.

My sweet family...

After pictures, we had a lunch reservation at the Coral Reef. This is by far Chad's favorite restaurant at WDW. It was delicious to the very last bite! After lunch, we headed to ride Soarin which is always a crowd pleaser and every one's favorite ride at Epcot. We started our evening heading around the world. The kids always love this old phone booth. It is so funny that phone booths are not a part of their world at all. My very first job was actually counting the money out of the pay phone boxes when I was 15 years old.

Boy did they ever get a big kick out of this...

I love this picture...

Mary Poppins was out and about so we jumped in her line. The sun was beginning to set and the light was beautiful.

Don't you just LOVE to listen to her talk...wouldn't you just love for Mary Poppins to have been your babysitter?

Once again in France, Claudia was so happy to see this pretty girl.

Waiting in line for Princess Aurora...

The boys weren't very interested in feminine kitties or princesses so they found Kids Spot in France and Cooper got busy coloring while Chad got busy resting.

No matter where you roam, it is always good to be home...

The American Adventure Pavilion

By this time, we were getting ready to head out and have dinner at Riverside. We still had a couple of stops to make so I didn't take time to get many more pictures in the other countries we visited. This is blurry but I did my best to capture how beautiful the view was.
