Epcot
We picked Epcot for day three because we knew it wasn't going to rain during the day and most of what we wanted to do there was outside.
China was the number one country we had to visit. PF is studying mandarin and I wanted her to have some kind of conversation with someone there. She got really shy but did manage to say hello, thank you and good-bye. The lady she spoke to commented that her accent was right on and she should certainly keep working on the language.
We watched a funny act in Italy.
Japanese story telling and candy making.
PF choose a panda bear for the lady to make.
PF and LAdybug made masks while Butterfly and I went on Soarin....she loved this ride. It felt like you were flying.
There are man areas to park your strollers. One lady left her diaper bag open and a squirrel was getting into her trail mix. We help her out by zipping up the diaper bag but after a picture.
The sun was bright...should have given the girls sunglasses too.
Dragonfly loved all of the fish and ran from one tank to the next.
WE really had fun at Epcot especially visiting all the countries. Where in the world can you eat French pastries while sitting in Italy and planning to watch Chinese acrobats preform in a few minutes.
My husband and dad were suppose to be on this trip with us but both of their jobs prevented that. So we got them on speaker phone while mom and I were playing a game that night so we felt like they were there too.
Magic Kingdom at night
We headed back to Magic Kingdom in the early evening for the parade and fireworks. We staked out a pretty good spot for both but it didn't matter by the time things started. People are so incredibly rude and push right in front of you and block our children. I was glad the parade was the same as last year but sad that the girls couldn't see it. We tried lifting them up with no luck. Julie eventually climbed up the side of a building to watch. For the fireworks there were two very tall gentlemen that were standing right in front of us....the only ones standing. I gave up my seats so they would sit down and everyone could see. It really shocked me that people were so inconsiderate.
Magic Kingdom Day 1
The girls loved riding the bus to the parks and they always looked so cute.
It has been my tradition since being younger and going to Disney that I always get a Mickey ice cream bar. They are my favorite. I started PF on the tradition this year. She still has to get down the proper way to eat it so it doesn't fall off the stick. July is a hard time to eat ice cream outside because it is so hot.
We hit Ariel's Grotto to cool off
Waiting for Mickey's 3d show. Dragonfly loved all the glasses but they were all too big for her. We did our best to make them work for her.
Its a small world
We love the tea cups
The girls got tired of wearing their crowns so grammy decided to wear one. I wonder sometimes why we buy hats for our kids.
Butterfly requested and talked about the Snow White Ride for days before we got to the park so of coarse we couldn't miss it.
We left in the early afternoon to head back to the hotel and cool off. We decided on this trip to bring food to make dinner and it worked out to be the best thing. We loved being able to relax a the hotel and on some nights watch movies that we rented from the hotel.
Fun at the hotel
Water play

Animal Kingdom
We hit Animal Kingdom on the first day. It was a cloudy day which kept things nice and cool.
It is tough being a bug show.
well it started to rain so we did what everyone does in Disney and bought ponchos.
The safari was the best part of this park. The parade was also a highlight. We left right after the parade and enjoyed the rest of the day at the resort.
