Disney Day 2

On Sunday, we woke up bright and early and headed off to Epcot. This is probably one of my favorite parks! I absolutely love walking around the world in the World Showcase. We first jumped onto Test Track with the kids - Christopher insisted on "driving"!

After our test driving session, we took the kids over to the Character Spot so that Caileigh can meet some of her buddies from Mickey Mouse Clubhouse! It was so much fun to watch her see the characters for the first time! She was timid but she didn't freak out. I was more than happy to carry her over to meet the characters. In a couple of years, I am sure that she will have a much different feeling toward Mickey, but it was cute to watch her during these first few interactions.

Our next stop was Soarin'. This is an amazing ride! If you haven't seen/heard of it before, you are flying in a hang glider over different parts of California. We are going to get to go to California next year, so it was fun checking out some of the sights we will get to see next summer.

We then headed toward World Showcase - which is my favorite! We let the kids check out some of the items along the way then went to Great Britian for fish and chips. Yummy!!

We left Epcot following lunch, and went back to the hotel for swimming and naps. After resting, Matthew wasn't feeling too well (it was so hot!) so he stayed back to the hotel to rest with Grandma, and Mike and I took the kids over to Animal Kingdom. Animal Kingdom was relatively empty. We let Maddie and Christopher ride Expedition Everest alone, and then headed over to the safari. We don't usually do the safari ride late in the day, but the animals were out in full force! We have been coming to Animal Kingdom since it first opened, and we have never seen the cheetahs up close! The hippos are almost always in the water, but this time we got to see one out of the water enjoying his dinner!

We finally headed back to the hotel for the evening. Thankfully, Matthew was feeling better, so we grabbed some dessert from concierge and watched the fireworks from our balcony.
