The boys doing an Epcot version of "curling"...they are ready for the winter olympics!

Deep concentration :)

You had to slide a white disc over certain lit up areas!  I just watched but the boys sure had fun!

The second day of our adventure we made it to Epcot!  We found a ride, Test Track, that had SUPER fast race cars...the speed got up to 65 mph!  Landon rode this with his daddy several times.  They have a HUGE aquarium that has sharks in it as well as other saltwater fish that Landon is obsessed with, so we spent a lot of time in there.  They also had a Nemo and friends ride in the same building that was fun for all of us!  They did great things with technology on this ride!  We went on a ride that took us in the past and brought us to the present and even mentioned what our future would be like.  At the end, there was a room full of actvities for the kiddos.  We also went on a flight simulator that was really neat!  It was 3D and you truly felt like you were flying and in the scenes.  They even had the sent of pine blow in as we were flying over the pine trees!  We saw another 3D movie called Journey into Imagination with Figment!  Disney did not disappoint...it was another good show!

It rained on this day but we had our character dinner planned during hardest rain, so it did not really affect us!  We ate at Garden Grill with Mickey Mouse, Pluto, Chip and Dale!  The restaurant rotated as you ate and you felt like you were in the jungle!  The food was delicious there and we all opted for the kiddie dessert that night because it was an oreo mousse!  The characters made it around often so that made Landon's evening. 

We got to see another awesome light and fireworks show that evening as well!

Since we stayed at a resort on the property, we were able to stay at Epcot until midnight (magic hours).  The rides had absolutely no line, so of course Landon chose to ride Test Track some more.  I think we actually stayed until a little after 11, but we had done all we wanted to do and it had been a long day.  We had to rest up a little, so we could visit Hollywood Studios!
