Disney Day 7 - Epcot

We spent our final day at Disney at Epcot. My parents left that morning so we were on our own with 4 kiddos! We survived but it was really nice to have had help the other days!
We started our morning waiting 30 minutes for the bus to arrive so we got to Epcot right at our breakfast reservation time and had to rush to the restaurant.

We had reservations before the park opened at Akershus which is a princess character meal. I was really excited because this is the only character meal where you can meet Belle and she's my favorite!








Akershus is in Norway so when we left breakfast we headed straight for the meet and greet with Elsa and Anna and only had to wait about 5 minutes.

They were beyond excited to meet Elsa and Anna!

Anna even managed to get a smile and a kiss from JP.

When we left breakfast the line for the Frozen Ever After ride was soooo long (it went down the sidewalk past the Norway area). I was really glad we had fastpasses for later in the day!
Our fast passes for the day were for Frozen Ever After (our Tier 1 fast pass), Turtle Talk with Crush and Journey into Imagination with Figment.
After Elsa and Anna we headed back to the front to ride Soarin'. Ruthie and JP were too little so we did rider swap and then they went to a different attraction with Paul. After they didn't so much enjoy the Avatar ride I had to talk Emmie and Ellie into going on Soarin' but I told them Gran rode it twice so they decided maybe it would be ok! The girls LOVED the ride! They couldn't wait to ride it again with Paul later in the day!
We had so much fun on the Frozen Ever After ride. It was great!

The décor was amazing! My pictures didn't even come close to doing it justice.

Check out JP's eyes! I cracked up when I noticed!

When we got out of Frozen it was around lunchtime so we decided to walk around the World Showcase and eat our way around the world! We had tons of snack credits left over to use and it was food and wine festival! The downside was World Showcase was PACKED and it was pretty hot. We did eat some good food though!

We had to explain the whole concept of a phone booth to them in England.

They loved watching the ducks.

By the time we got back to the front we were so hot and worn out. We found a shady spot and got drinks and found a stand selling fruit and cheese...the perfect snack to give us all a little oomph!
We did Journey into Imagination with Figment and then when Paul and the big girls did Soarin' I took the little kids and did The Seas with Nemo. They loved it! Especially JP! We went back to the same building to do Turtle Talk with Crush and the whole time he was begging to do The Seas again! When we got out of Turtle Talk there was almost NO line for The Seas (as compared to the 30 minute wait we'd had earlier!) so we went over and rode it again. JP was a happy camper!

Poor JP fell asleep sitting straight up during Living with the Land.

When we got done with all our rides it was starting to rain a little bit and the sky looked pretty stormy so we headed to wait in an inside line to meet Joy and Sadness. We waited what felt like FOREVER in a line that barely moved. It was a bit ridiculous. BUT it was raining outside so we were glad to be somewhere dry! Joy and Sadness definitely had the best autographs of our trip!








When we done with meeting Joy and Sadness the rain was gone and the temperature had dropped a lot. IT was quite lovely out! We had dinner reservations at Tutto Italia and on our way we stopped to meet Mulan.

The inside of the pavilion in China...gorgeous!

Our dinner at Tutto Italia was excellent! We were also able to get in a little early which was nice because we were all tired from a hot day with heavy crowds!



After dinner we headed back to our hotel to pack to head home the next morning and get a good nights sleep! The next morning we got up, ate breakfast, used up the rest of our snack credits and we headed home. After a rough start (where we had to pull over because Ellie felt car sick) we made good time. The kids were troopers and the only stop we made on the way home was for lunch at Chick-fil-A!
