Disney World Vacation - Day 3 (Epcot)


For our second day at the parks we visited Epcot.  We wanted to try to go to all of the different parks, but we officially decided with little kids this was probably our least favorite park.  We still had a lot of fun, but made this a shorter day staying at the park from about 9am - 2pm.



The first thing that we did when we got to the park was go on Soarin'.  We did not have a fast pass for this ride because they have the Fast Passes on Tiers so that you can only pick one out of their 3 most popular rides for a fast pass (either Soarin', Test Track or Frozen Ever After).  Our kids REALLY wanted to go on Test Track, so we prioritized that ride for our Fast Pass.  I took our oldest 3 kids on Soarin' (which we all loved), while my husband played with the leaves with our little one.  Then we had a Rider Switch Pass to switch out for my husband to ride with our oldest two.






After Soarin' our first Fast Pass of the day was at the Epcot Character Spot to meet Mickey, Goofy and Minnie.  Our kids really loved this experience, and the characters were really great at interacting with all of the kids and not making it feel rushed.  Now, we were glad that our boys are not that into all of the Disney Princesses, because meeting the characters can really take out pretty big chunks of time out of the day.
 

 


Next we headed over to the Seas with Nemo and Friends and Turtle Talk with Crush.  This was a fun ride for the whole family and the aquariums were amazing.  Although we have one of the best zoo's in the world in our home city it was fun to see different animals like dolphins, which we realized our children had never seen in real life before!  I stayed at the aquariums and rode the Seas with Nemo and Friends a second time with the little ones while my husband took the big kids over to Test Track.






After that it was approaching lunch time so we took a walk thru the World Showcases.  It was interesting to look at, but it was hot so we were all getting tired by this point.  We were thinking of going on Frozen Ever After but it had a 95 minute wait line so we decided to go on the boat ride in Mexico instead.  The kids loved it and it was nice to get out of the heat for a while.  


After walking thru the World Showcase we headed over to Mission Space, which our oldest two kids could ride.  We had a fast pass and then also got a rider switch so they could go a second time with my husband.  Again, this day it was really hot so we decided to call it a day after Mission Space and headed back to the hotel to swim.  



Swimming was a great way to cool off and end another great day!
