| Epcot had never been high on our priority list, so we’ve been every year, but only for a short time. We’ve never invested time seeing all the countries, but we love to come late for the light/firework show. This year, we bumped it up a notch. We spent the entire day. Yes, even in the outrageous heat. It caused some emotional problems (I even got pictures of those!), but we stayed. We ran out of steam about an hour before the light show, we just couldn’t go any longer.
Every year there is a two-week flower and garden festival, and this is only the second time we’ve made it down here in the small window. It is totally worth it! There are amazing (colorful, detailed, millions of pots and planted flowers, rainbows of colors and designs, etc.) displays, and topiaries of everything from fairies to princesses to (life-size) Lightning McQueen!
We did get to ride Figment, the Test Track (totally messed up my hair going 68 mph with no windows!), and the new Soarin’ virtual hangliding ride! (Ethan was tall enough, but got scared after we turned in our fastpasses and got ready to buckle our seatbelts. Such a bummer.) (Then he cried like a baby to ride it, and totally embarrassed Ches outside as he felt like he was being stared at by people and judged for holding a screaming kid against his will-it definitely changed the tone of our day.) : (
We loved Mexico, and it came at the perfect time. It was so stinkin’ hot, but Mexico was dark and cold. Lovely. It was worth forking over some dough to sit in the cold dark to eat yummy Mexican food until the heat passed. Clay only put out our romantic oil lamp once. He’s still learning that it needs oxygen to keep burning. ; ) And that the glass is super-hot right after it goes out.
Worst moment: Ethan’s two tantrums over cars and rides.
Best moment: being wowed at every turn by more beautiful flowers. : )
