Disney World Day 3

We visited Epcot Center today.  Avery was not too happy to be here and she wanted to go back to the Magic Kingdom where all the fun rides were.  It also didn't help that the monorail wasn't working so we ended up taking a monorail and a long bus ride to get to the park.

We started the day by saying hello to Mickey, Minnie, and Pluto.

We rode the Nemo ride which scared both girls.  We decided it was time for a snack so we had brownies and Cheetos at 10AM.  They both perked up after that!

We had fastpasses for Test Track and Avery said she wanted to ride it!  When we got off, she said it went too fast and she didn't want to ride again.  Dad rode it by himself so he could see the updates.

Avery is in the middle seat and you can't see her at all, but proof that she was on the ride!

It was time for lunch so we started walking towards the countries and ate lunch in Mexico.  Avery loved seeing Donald Duck in Mexico.  I think Donald could be her favorite.

Avery had fun playing on these drums at the Outpost.

We found Snow White in Germany.  She was so sweet to the girls and talked to them for a long time. I think it helped that they were both wearing their Snow White shirts!

We made it to Japan and found snow cones!

We decided to do the pick a pearl in Japan too.  It was a fun thing to do and Avery thought it was neat to see what was inside the oyster shells.  Avery picked out all 4 oysters.

Avery holding her 4 pearls!  We got 2 pink pearls, one white, and 1 rare silver pearl.  Apparently the silver pearl is the rarest and everyone was very excited when they found that one.

We let Avery pick one of the pearls and have a necklace made with it.  She picked the silver one. You can see her cute necklace in the next picture.  She wore it proudly for rest of the trip!

We walked around the rest of the countries and headed back towards the front.  Addison took a nap in her stroller and we convinced Avery to ride the "big ball ride."  Thanks to Addison, Jason got to listen to the ride in Spanish while Avery and I enjoyed the English version.

We had done most things the girls had interest in doing so we headed back to the hotel to swim for the afternoon.  They had a fun splash pad that the girls just loved.

We ate dinner at the hotel and walked around the hotel grounds.  They show a movie on the lawn every night so we watched Toy Story for a little bit.

We walked down to the boat dock at the hotel and watched the fireworks from the Magic Kingdom. You can see Cinderella's Castle and Space Mountain.  It was the best view of the fireworks and beats fighting the crowds leaving the park when they close.  Both girls loved seeing the fireworks!
