EPCOT: the kids favorite park

Today we headed over to EPCOT after Asher got his haircut. The kids love the extra long monorail ride over and they both agree that this is now their favorite park. And I'd have to agree. It's not as crowded or crammed together and there is hardly ever a wait for the rides. And they have lots of rides for the kids. Today we took them on Spaceship Earth for the first time. Every time we walk by they say they don't want to ride it, like they say for any ride they haven't been on. But this time there was no wait so I told Sean we are just going to walk on and say nothing to them. When we walked up they have a mural and they were both very quick to point out that God was on this mural, it was cute. Sean and I were very impressed with the renovations they have done on the ride. They even have computers for each car. And at the end they take this picture of you and use it in the little movie, it was so cute. Asher was the cutest of all the pictures with his little head bobbing around another body!

The boys favorite ride here by far is Nemo. And after you get out you can explore all the underwater stuff here. They LOVE looking at all the fish, dolphins, sting rays, sharks and all the Nemo fish as well. Asher will stand there for hours pointing and excitedly saying, "FISH!!!!" They also love the little playground area with all the shark educational stuff, they always bee line it for that. The Crush show is also very funny. Be sure to ask him where the bathroom is!

We got to ride the renovated Figment ride today too. I always loved Figment growing up and I was a little disappointed with the stuff they took out of the ride, I was a little big sentimental about that. And I don't think Asher or Dallas will ride it again because at some point they blast you with air that stinks horribly (teaching you about your sense of smell). Asher's face looked like he had smelled the most horrifying thing on earth. Dallas freaked out with the air blasting in his face and talked about the smell all day.

We tried to ride the ride in Mexico that is like It's a Small World but it was broken down. Next time...

There other favorite thing to do here is to see the outside train park that is next to Germany. They LOVE to stand here and watch the trains go by. Of course we always stop in to see our neighbor that works at our favorite restaurant in the park in Germany, Octoberfest!

We haven't yet gotten them to ride Test Track. We did ride the Energy ride (or dinosaur ride) and they all cried through most of it. A little too scary and dark (and they talk about the theory of evolution like it is what happened.) Dallas rode Soarin' once and loved it until the end when the fireworks go off on the screen. He hates fireworks so this didn't go over very well.

So that's just some of the stuff we love about this park. Each time we go we find something new and fun and look forward to going again next weekend
