Disney Day 4 - Epcot
One word sums up our visit to Epcot - HOT!! The temperature was in the 90's all week, but our last day definitely felt hotter than the rest. Note for planning: DO NOT plan a character breakfast the morning after putting your children to bed at 11:30 after the fireworks at the Magic Kingdom.
Although we only had a Quick Service Dining plan, we decided to do one character breakfast. We gave Addison a couple different choices and she chose the Princess breakfast at Epcot. The experience was good and the food was tasty, but we would not recommend it if you are not on the dining plan. We paid $100 for 3 people and didn't end up eating that much food. Addison was very over tired and let's just say the journey there was a little stressful. I did bring a dress for her to dress up, but that morning I realized I didn't have bobby pins or hair spray therefore, there wasn't a lot I could do with her hair. I've never been good at hair styling, but take away essential tools and I'm worthless! moving on...
Belle was the first princess we met as we walked in. Chad and I are in none of these pictures because we looked rough after basically running through Epcot in 100 degree heat to make it on time due to a delayed bus.
The princesses walk through and stop at each table. They signed Addison's book, took a picture and talked with her for a short time.

I did try to put this on her, but it wouldn't stay.

After the breakfast we did everything we could to avoid being outside as much as possible. Our kiddos were so tired and poor Mya got sunscreen in her eye and was hot and tired. At one point we almost called it a day, but thankfully Mya fell asleep on Spaceship Earth (the big Ball ride) and we felt like we could stay a little while longer.

One of the best attractions of the day was Turtle Talk with Crush. Crush is the turtle on Finding Nemo and they have an attraction where you can talk to him. It was pretty hilarious. Mya went NUTS during the show. She was laughing and almost wiggled off my lap, she was so excited watching Crush talk.
Another ride we really enjoyed was Soarin' - a hang-gliding ride through California. We didn't get to see all that Epcot has to offer...besides breakfast we didn't set foot in the World Showcase!! It was hot, our kids were tired, and we had to get up really early the next morning for our flight home, so we called it a day.
So that's it! Our Disney trip. It really was fun, but we just had to keep reminding ourselves, there was no way we could fit even a fraction of what Disney has to offer into our short visit. Addison had a blast and we did too. As far as planning, I wouldn't do anything different for this stage in our lives. When our kids get a little older, and a little calmer at the dinner table, we will do the table service dining with more character meals.
