Disney World Day 1...Epcot

After checking into our room and dropping off our bags, we headed straight to our first park...Epcot.  The boys were so excited to ride on the shuttle without car seats or seat belts. This was super cool to them!



As soon as we walked into the park, we spotted our first characters.  The boys LOVED meeting characters and having their pictures made with them.






Brody was eager to get on a ride, so he and Jason jumped in line for Soarin'.  Apparently this ride normally has a wait time of over an hour, but they only had to wait about 30 minutes! Since Colby wasn't tall enough to ride this one yet, he and I watched "Circle of Life, An Environmental Fable" and then did Living with the Land, which is a 15 minute boat ride through different lands and green houses.  We finished just in time to go to our first dinner reservation at the Coral Reef Restaurant. The food was great, and there was a huge full wall aquarium in the front of the restaurant to enjoy.

After dinner, we headed to the Seas with Nemo and Friends ride followed by an interactive Turtle Talk with Crush show.  We heard "totally dude" about a hundred times that night!!  While waiting for the show to start, the boys played Mr. Ray's Pop Quiz and became Sea Experts!








This was our first official meet and greet with the Fab 5.  This was the longest we waited in line for anything while we were at Disney, and we only had to wait about 45 minutes.  It was worth every second, though, when we saw the looks on their faces as they hugged and high fived the characters.














After a full morning in the car, no nap, and all of the excitement of arriving in Disney World, Colby was done!!  He was beyond exhausted and all he wanted to do was go back to the room and go to bed!  As soon as Jason and Brody rode Mission: SPACE, we did just that!  It was a great first day of our Disney World Vacation!
