Last Day at Disney!

I know by now you are probably saying Enough with the Disney posts! This is our last day!
We always go to Epcot on our last day. We absolutely love Epcot - even the kids! The Boardwalk is an "Epcot" resort, so we have just a short walk over the bridge and we go in the back entrance. It is beautiful! You come in at the back by France and Great Britain.

We were lucky to see Princess Tiana!

It was the Garden Festival - and it was amazing! I couldn't stop taking pictures! Don't worry I didn't post them all. But it was truly breathtaking!

During all of our past Disney trips, we have never seen Marie from The Aristocats, so that was a real treat! Annamarye has two small stuffed Maries.

On our trip earlier in the week, we just rode rides, this day we visited the countries in the World Showcase. The kids made masks and we bought "passports" for them. At each country there was a "Kidscot" station where you can talk with someone from that country and get your passport stamped. They also add a charm to your mask. The kids really enjoyed it!

After touring the countries we used our fast passes and rode Soarin' and Test Track one last time.

Our last Disney dinner is always at the Coral Reef restaurant in Epcot. One huge wall of it is an aquarium (sorry I don't have a picture). You can go scuba diving inside it. At the end of the Nemo ride you can look at the aquarium. It is actually connected to the Nemo ride. After dinner we rode nemo again, and were able to see some scuba divers in the aquarium with Nemo!

On our way to our room for the night, we stopped on the boardwalk and let Annamarye get a hairwrap!

OK, that is it for our Disney trip! Back to everyday life in Alabama! At least we are having great weather and are getting to play outside after school!

Chef Mickey's and Epcot

Tuesday was our shopping day. I know I know. A lot of you are laughing about this. There are some great outlets in Orlando and we always plan a day to go. James loved it because they had an Under Armour store and Annamarye was in heaven because there was a Justice store. She mentioned a few weeks ago to me about going to "Justice" and I cringed! My first thought was "Oh NO!!" When my nieces were young I remember going with my Mom and Sister and them to Limited Too. It was a zoo then! Anyway, we had a fun day.

Tuesday night we went to Cirque de Soleil's La Nouba. It was fabulous and the kids loved it!! Johnny and I have seen a couple of shows in Las Vegas and knew the kids would enjoy it.

Wednesday morning we were up bright and early and headed to Chef Mickey's for breakfast. This is Annamarye's favorite!

After breakfast we headed over to Epcot. We met up with our friends the Owens.

While John and Celisa got Clint and Clay something to eat, Carter went with us to stand in line for Test Track. We had fast passes to Soarin, but had to wait in line for this one. It was long, but really wasn't that bad. And the kids did great waiting. You are moving the entire time too so that helps.

I was a little concerned though when on our way I asked Carter if he had ever ridden Test Track before. He said "No, I was in line once and got scared so I had to exit". But he did great! He and James sat in the front, and Johnny, Annamarye and I sat in the back.

We all rode Nemo!

For dinner that night we went to Restaurant Akershus in Norway of Epcot. Several years ago we had breakfast there, so this year we thought we would try dinner. When you get there they take your picture with Belle.

And then while you eat, all of the princesses come around to your table. This was the night before Annamarye's birthday, so they had the table decorated for her!

This was the first time we have ever seen Ariel! So we made Johnny get his picture with her!

Annamarye also got a special birthday cake in a treasure chest!
