Our Disney Vacation- Day 3- Epcot

On Monday, day 3 of our Disney Vacation, we went to Epcot. We loved it there and had a really great day and even stayed on through the evening. Here are the things that we did while we were there:

Spaceship Earth- is a ride through an eighteen-story-tall sphere. The ride tells the history of communication, the development of cultures and the future of technologies.

The Seas with Nemo and friends- a ride chronicling Nemo's journey, featuring projection technology that makes it appear as though Nemo, Dory, and Marlin are swimming with the live fishes in the aquarium behind.

Turtle Talk with Crush- an interactive show starring Crush, the Sea Turtle, from Finding Nemo. The kids sit right up front and were supposed to ask questions to Crush. So many of the kids just shared random information instead, which was hilarious!

Journey into Imagination with Figment- a ride that encourages using your imagination!

Fountains- the kids had the best time messing around with/in the "jumping water" fountains!

Soarin'- Aaron and I went on this ride which was a hang glider simulator that "flies" over areas of California. The simulator has you strap in like you're on an airplane and takes you up in the air for the simulated movie. It was really cool!

Circle of Life: An Environmental Fable- a movie with the characters of the Lion King that talked about protecting the evironment.

Living with the Land- a boat tour through a working greenhouse.

World Showcase- we went through all of the countries Mexico (we went on the Gran Fiesta Tour Starring the Three Caballeros- a boat ride with Donald Duck), Norway (we went on Maelstrom- a boat ride showing Norway's past and present), China, Germany, Italy, Japan, Morocco, France (we had some pastries during this visit), United Kingdom (we met Tigger and Pooh), and Canada. The kids got passport books so that we could search out the site in each of the countries where they could get their books stamped. They had a lot of fun doing this!

We had dinner at a wonderful restaurant in the Mexico World Showcase and ended up leaving Epcot around bedtime.
