Epcot is geared much more to adults, than to kids, and it's not really an amusement park so much as a place for technological exhibitions. We figured this would be our most boring day, but it was nice to relax a bit.
We started by visiting Nemo in The Seas for Maggie, and ran into Debbie's family again.
We rode a clam shell through the Nemo ride, and Maggie really liked all the fish.
For some reason I kept thinking of Lisette on this one. After the ride we did Turtle Talk with Crush. It's a cool technology where you sit in front of a movie screen, but the cartoon talks back to you. It was really cute and Maggie now believes all turtles say "Duuuude!" and "Totally Sweet" We ended up buying her a Crush doll and now she requests that I reinact the show for her...a lot. She also regularly picks him up and says the above quotes.
We rode one ride called Test Track (a cool ride where you're supposed to be a crash test dummy in very fast car) and then went to the other half of Epcot which is called World Showcase. Basically just one replicated country after another where you can eat "local" food and buy themed gifts.
Germany; where we ate our lunch looking over the water at the other side of Epcot.
India; where we bumped into the Genie.
France; where we caught the Beast sneaking up on Belle.
After roaming the other countries, we returned to ride Mission Space. It's a simulator that makes you feel like your in a space shuttled rocketing to Mars. Very realistic. I almost barfed.
While we took turns, Maggie cooled off.
She was MUCH more cautious than the other kids. Shocking.
We went back to World Showcase to eat dinner in Mexico. Maggie almost broke a few of these maracas.
You walk into this temple and into a "village" where it's night and very pretty. Instead of a gift shop, they sold things from carts scattered in the middle of the room.
We rode one more ride that Sean remembered from when he was a kid. It wasn't great for me, but he really enjoyed how much Maggie liked it. It features this dinosaur called Figment (as in figment of your imagination) and in the gift shop we had to struggle to get her away from the stuffed animal that she immediately fell in love with. Good thing there were power balls that lit up. She almost broke stuff in that store too!
We headed back to the hotel and Maggie was very happy to be back with her things.

Nice to see what a fine time you had together as a family.
I'm enjoying these posts. This was something you all were looking forward to soooo much and it's nice to see it through your eyes and that you've taken the time to "let us in". You all look so happy. I like looking at happy. And I like hearing about happy.
Boy...Annie was saying the other day ( despite her Annie comments) that it was nice to see how other's spend their time and days; that more of us should do this kind of thing.
Can you imagine if Cy posted pictures of his family and of ALL the work he's done on his home?
We can hope...
