World Tour Anniversary

What better way to spend our 25th anniversary than with a world tour!  Well... sort-of.  The 'World Tour' that we can afford - both money and time-wise - is a day at Epcot.  We started the day by waiting in line for the park to open.  It was hard to believe (for us west-coasters) how warm and humid it was that early in the day.  Here's our first shot of the day, and we're already sweating!

While Robb ran to get a FastPass (so we could ride Soarin' later) Mary took the kids to a character Meet & Greet.  I love that you can add pictures and labels to Disney's PhotoPass pics!!  This may not have been the kids' first time meeting Mickey, it was their first time to Epcot (it wasn't even really Kayl's 1st trip to Disney World - although she was there when she was only 1yr, and never went to Epcot...), it was their first time for this, thus the label.

Fun to add Mickey's signature...


And their first time seeing Minnie at Epcot - check out Kayl's excitement!

Kayl really liked the hearts and stuff on her signature.

Even Donald was fun to visit with!

I think Sean might like him even more than Mickey & Minnie...

Woh!  Back down, Donald - that's our little girl there!!

Goofy had to get down on one knee to get this pic...

After the Meet & Greet, we all went into the 'Lands' section, and over to the seas so we could see that section and also get in line for "Turtle talk with Crush".  Although we got no pics with Crush - not allowed - Kayl got picked to talk with him!  She had a great time doing so.

There was a cool tank in the waiting area for crush.  Sean sat there for a while with some girl from another family.

There was also a computer where you could take a quiz on the oceans.  Needless to say, we all did very well on the quiz...

After the talk with Crush, we went to the kids play area, and they got to do a lot of interactive activities.

There was also a very cool (and very large) tank with fish, dolphins & turtles.  We loved it!

The kids spent a long time standing there watching the dolphins.

And then they got eaten by a shark!!
