I woke more excited for this day than any other day so far because 1) I LOVE EPCOT! (It’s the only park I’d been to before), 2) there were EXTRA MAGIC HOURS at the park that night, which meant we would get a break from the suffocating crowds, and 3) I was so excited to introduce Brother to the World Showcase! He’d read all about it in his WDW Guide, and he was pumped.
We arrived and the boys immediately wanted to ride roller coasters, so Sister and I FaceTimed with Gigi and went to get a snack. Since Sister was the first customer at that particular snack cart, the guy let her “open the cart,” which meant she got to talk on the radio, and we each got a free snack!
After the boys rode their ride, we all embarked on “Test Track,” an experience where you build a car and the race it. I thought this was all simulated, but as it turns out, it was a full-blown roller coaster. The kids dug it, but it wasn’t my favorite.
After lunch, my in-laws has planned to take the girls to the Bibbity Bobbity Boutique to be transformed into princesses. I’m not going to lie...I wasn’t very enthusiastic about this, mainly because I didn’t want to miss out at EPCOT, but Husband promised me he would ride rides with Brother and they wouldn’t head to the World Showcase until Sister and I returned. So we all took a taxi to the salon.
Once there, they had the “princesses” choose a hairstyle and get into their princess dresses.
They were then taken to their fairy God-mother, who was in charge of their make-over, which included:
- Make-up
- Hair (and extensions, in Sister’s case)
- Nails
- Sash
- A goodie bag of all the products that had been used)
- A sprinkling of pixie dust
As this operation is one well-oiled machine, we were in and out and back on our way to EPCOT within an hour. We met up with the boys for
THE WORLD SHOWCASE!
We met Mary Poppins in the United Kingdom.
We ate glacé in France.
We met Jasmine in Monaco.
We browsed manga in Japan.
We played the drums at the Outpost.
We met Elsa in Norway.
And we ate the most delicious dinner in China.
And at last, after the park closed and the crowds dissipated, we rode Soarin’ like six times right in a row.
Aaaaaaaaand this was my Fitbit reading when I finally climbed into bed that night:
Of all 5 parks we visited (Magic Kingdom, Hollywood, EPCOT, Animal Kingdom, and Universal), EPCOT ranks as follows by my family:
Husband: 2nd favorite
Brother: 2nd favorite
Sister: 2nd favorite
Me: 2nd favorite
