Disney World Day 2 - Epcot

 Christmas morning was nice and relaxing, the kids sleep till 10, which never happens. I think we wore them out the day before. Santa did make a stop at our hotel and left costumes,
Janika - Tiana    Kylie - Ariel    Xander - Woody   Kieron - Buzz 

After taking our time getting ready we headed out to Epcot. You might be thinking why Epcot and not Magic Kingdom the most magical park in Disney World. Trust me that's were I would have been. But before we left, we heard that Magic Kingdom was so packed on Christmas day they close the gates and don't let anymore in, so crazy busy. On the way to Epcot we past the MK entrance and sure enough it was closed and it was only noon.

In Epcot we visit many countries and enjoyed each one. We loved France mainly because of the food. Their desserts were AMAZING! In our tour of the countries we did't run into very many characters, however we did find Mary Poppins.

Christmas dinner was very magical for the girls. They ate dinner with the princesses at Akershus Royal Banquet. Once again the food was wonderful, but the atmostsphere and seeing the girls faces with each princess was the best. Dinning with the characters is the way to go, no lines. they come to you.
Epcot is diffidently not the place for rides, they have very few. Though the ones they do have are pretty good. My favorite is Soarin', you hang-glide through parts of the country. Some of the other rides/attractions that we went on were Test Track, The Seas with Nemo & Friends, Turtle Talk with Crush, and the Land.
 
Every night at Epcot they have a fireworks show called IllumiNations. It's done over the lagoon of the World Showcase, and its amazing. It had everyone in awe, even Kieron.
