The Magic of Disney

Day 10 -- 1/12/10

We spent the day in Epcot today.  The last time we were in Disney was 5 years ago and the kids were just 3 and 4 years old.  Needless to say we spent most of our time in the Magic Kingdom that go round.  This time we had the pleasure of seeing all the wonders of Epcot - or at least a few of the wonders of Epcot.  We could have spent at least 3 days there alone and have vowed to come back when we can do just that.  Two days at Disney is just tourture but we made the most of it.  My favorite thing in Epcot-- a ride called Soarin' where you virtually fly over some of the most beautiful land in the western U.S.  Kind of cool since we'll be seeing much of it from ground level in just a few weeks.  I also really enjoyed the different countries.  We waited to do that portion of Epcot until much too late in the day.  Next time that will be first on the agenda.  What a neat way to get a taste of the different cultures.  So fun.

I was happy to see a replica of the Terra Cotta Soldiers - it made missing the exhibit in D.C. not so bad.

 Japan - This woman was amazing -- sculpting any requested creatures from hot "candy" in about 2-3 mins. Her creations were incredible and much to the delite of the onlooking children (young and old alike).
