Day 4 Epcot

We were told to expect a lot out of Epcot. It was fun, but I think we were disappointed a little. We started the day out by doing a mission to space. It made the best of the group nauseous and I was already sick and it just put me over the edge... It was a lot of fun to do the innovations center and I bet my kids would love it. The test track was awesome. Since we had all been to most parts of the world walking through the different countries just wasn't that exciting for us. I really loved seeing all the agriculture things that Disney is doing and that was fun, but otherwise, it got about a C rating from me. If we went back I'm sure we would enjoy it and if we had stayed for the night shows it would have ended better. China got my vote for awesome service award though because they made a birthday card for Derek and gave him free cake! Epcot was fun!


The test track was a lot of fun. You got to design your car and then test it out. Ours didn't quite look like this.
Norway was the inspiration for the movie Frozen. It was too bad Derek and I hadn't seen it yet, because it was awesome in there. This was my favorite part of the different places represented at Epcot. There were little girls lined up waiting hours to meet Elsa and Anna from the movie.



Derek taking it like a man, and me being weird as usual. 



 Awesome China and their generous gift of a card and cake for Derek.




 Germany







This summed up my day at epcot... Sick sick sick. We came back to the resort around 3 and I took a 3 hour nap while everyone else went to dinner.

Day 3 Disney's Hollywood Studios

I have to say this place surprised me the most! It was a really fun day! We hit up Aerosmith's Rock in roller coaster (which was awesome), Tower of Terror, Star Tours, Beauty and the Beast play, Indiana Jones Show, and a Stunt Cars show. All quite awesome!!!





 This restaurant was a must do here!!! Highly recommend it. They had a drive through theater and each table was a car and it played black and white short films while you ate and the food was pretty awesome!


Florida Trip Day 1 and Day 2 Traveling and Magic Kingdom

 On the road to Grandma and Grandpa's!!!
Fabulous Las Vegas! We had to eat at our favorite restaurant not knowing if it would be our last time here. Derek and I have a picture of dating at this same spot, so we thought another weird selfie with a statue in the background was required.

We made it to Florida!


 The resort we stayed at.
On the way to Magic Kingdom.
Derek's big dirty 30! We celebrated all week long!
Magic Kingdom was day 1
Cinderella's Castle. At Disneyland it is Sleeping Beauty's castle. 
 Big thunder mountain

Haunted Mansion
The girls: Sharice, Ashley, and Hannah
 Derek got to hold hands with a worker while he shouted it was his birthday. We got the whole thing on film. It was an incredible experience where we were able to laugh the whole trip about it.
 Andrew and Derek
 Country Bear Jamboree

 First time on the big boat that goes around Tom Sawyers Island. It was nice to sit for a while.
 We went on a a treasure hunt with Captain Jack Sparrow.
 Needless to say, we were awesome treasure hunters and found the treasure!




It does have to be said, that Disney has some awesome fireworks!
I love Disney so much. Great values and great times!
