Epcot 2014
We decided on Epcot as our first park for our Walt Disney World vacation back in December. It was either try and do everything at the Animal Kingdom in 4 short hours or go to Epcot that was open later and try to do as much there before the night time fireworks show, IlluminNations. We knew that we more than likely would not make it to the park until sometime in the afternoon since we were driving in that morning.
By the time Jon and I got the car unpacked, it was after 3:00pm. We loaded into the Sonata and headed over to Epcot. Because of when we arrived, we hadn't really eaten since breakfast at the hotel that morning. We looked at the map and decided to head all the way to the Liberty Inn in the World Showcase for some good old American food.
After eating, my mom stayed there to watch a live Christmas show that was being performed nearby. Jon, Michael, and I decided to head off and rode Test Track. Afterwards, we met back up with my mom and explored Epcot all together. Here's all the attractions that we were able to do while at Epcot:
Journey Into Imagination with Figment
Soarin' (Michael wasn't tall enough to ride this ride and we did a rider swap)
Turtle Talk with Crush
We didn't get to experience all of the attractions that Epcot has to offer. There's so much stuff to see and experience, but there just wasn't enough time to do it all. One thing that I wanted to do was buy an Epcot passport and walk around the World Showcase to get it stamped. They also have a free passport type thing for the kids. If you want to learn more about this fun activity, click here and read about The Suburban Mom's experience with it. I can't wait to go back and experience it myself.
We did get to meet Donald Duck in Mexico when we were trying to find Michael a place to get some chips and salsa. All the restaurants in Mexico were sit down so, we figured there wasn't a way to get some chips and salsa to go.
We also got to meet Mickey's teddy bear, Duffy. Since it was Christmas time, he was dressed like Santa.
Disney out did itself when decorating the parks for Christmas. There are several awesome places at each park that you can get a great family picture taken in front of.
Like I said earlier, I can't wait to go back and experience all the other things with Michael that we didn't get to do. What do you love about Epcot? What's your must see thing when you go to Epcot?
