Epcot, 1st full day at Disney

We started the Disney World journey at Epcot. We started there because I had reservations in Norway for our character lunch with the princesses. Pictures below. We also met all the other characters. It was a SUPER way to start our vacation. Epcot ranked up there as being one of our favorite parks. We LOVED the ride Soarin' and Addyson will tell you it was her favorite. We rode it twice thanks to the Fast Pass. The boys LOVED Mission-Space. Addyson and I opted for the "less intense" green version while the boys did the full force orange version. To give you a little glimpse at how intense it is, each seat is equipped with barf bags! The boys loved it! Todd didn't enjoy it as much. We also loved Test Track. Picture to follow. It was a 5 minute ride that went 60mph at one point! Addyson loved Nemo and Friends. They also talked with Crush from Nemo in an interactive show. It was really neat!! It rained daily on us so during one of the down pours we took the time to stand in doors and visit some of the characters. Here are the pictures.
I just LOVED the pictures with Addyson and Minnie. Minnie LOVED her outfit and Addyson's smile never went away!

Look how cool Kamron is, they didn't enjoy the characters as much as Addyson did. (Or so they said)

The one who started it all... Mickey!!
Here we are at the Princess lunch. Focus on Addyson's face. It was priceless. I am only posting a few, I have a ton catching her staring at the princesses. She truly 100% thought they were the "real" princesses. She even told me that they slept in the castle every night.

Snow White, Addyson's favorite.

LOVE this picture of her! It captures her whole emotion when she saw each princess this is the look she had!

Epcot has the famous jumping water. Guess how many pictures I had to take to catch the water in mid air! LOL
Waiting for test track!! The first ride we rode!! I love this picture of the boys. They LOVE the roller coasters! Can't say I blame them, I do too!!
