Epcot

We have a renewed respect for Epcot after our last visit. Not that we didn't before, but we never really had the chance to spend an entire day there and discover what awesome attractions Epcot had to offer. We visited Crush from Finding Nemo and spent a good amount of time in their massive aquarium. We went Soarin' over various beautiful sights from around the world, built planets in the future, and assembled full race cars that we later got to test drive against fellow builders in order to see whose vehicle would perform the best. Any riders that couldn't ride (based on heights or no desire) got to hang outside with Mom or Dad and eat Mickey Bars, Pretzels, and Ice Cream Sandwiches. Personally, I thought it was a pretty sweet deal. At lunch time we ran over to Japan and enjoyed our first experience at a Hibachi Steak House. Steven and I loved the entertainment and the food. The kiddos mainly just loved the entertainment. While they ate pretty well, they admitted later that Japanese food would not make their "favorites" list by a long shot. Oh well. It was a fun experience to try out as a family. As evening approached the sky grew dark and rain began to fall. Steven and Kadyn took this opportunity to ride a few more attractions with everyone fleeing the park. The remaining kiddos and I took this opportunity to flee the park. Twenty minutes later we were safely inside our hotel room with hot showers running from both bathrooms. A perfect ending to a fantastic day.
