Epcot

Epcot is quickly becoming one of our families favorite Disney parks. Each time we visit this park we end up finding cool new attractions to enjoy that we didn't know existed. This time we discovered an area called Innoventions. Unfortunately we didn't discover it until an hour before the park closed, however, that still offered the kiddos plenty of time to engineer their own simulated thrill ride, then hop in a robot to experience their design. We also rode our favorites including Soarin' and Mission Space. We headed under the sea with Nemo and enjoyed Cruisin' with Crush. I think our favorite part of Epcot is hopping from Italy to France then Norway to Morocco in a matter of minutes. On this trip we stopped off in Italy to enjoy some amazing pizza from Via Napoli. It was fantastico!

Magic Kingdom

 The Magic Kingdom did not disappoint. Our kids ages are perfect for this amazing park filled with great rides for everyone. They all had their favorites with some more daring then others and some not tall enough for what they desired, but overall we could enjoy most everything together as a family. This year we were able to try out the new Seven Dwarfs Mine Train and Haley got picked to play the Beast in Enchanted Tales with Belle. Once again we dined at The Crystal Palace where Pooh Bear and all his friends came to greet us and once again Azure was in absolute awe at their appearance. It was a magical day in the Magic Kingdom.

 

Downtown Disney Plus Pool

We completed our vacation with a relaxing day just playing around at Downtown Disney. Before stopping there however, we of course had to hop over to Animal Kingdom Lodge and have breakfast at our favorite restaurant Boma. The kids enjoyed many days of swimming, including another few hours before we headed Downtown. We shopped around a little, introduced Azure to Rainforest cafe, then spent the remaining six hours playing in Disney Quest. The kids were in arcade heaven, especially Thatcher. It was a fantastic ending to a wonderful family vacation.
