Our last day at Disney found us at our favorite park--Epcot. We all love Epcot because there is something for each of us. Mission Space and Test Track are favorites for the older kids, while the parents love to cruise around the different countries. The little ones loved riding Soarin' and visiting China. =)
We spent most of our day in China, honoring the kids' heritage and Chinese New Year! We watched a movie inside their 360 degree room and it was neat to watch Asher's reaction to everything. The kids colored on masks and got a lot of attention from the store employees, who are all from China too. The highlight of the day for Emma was when she was coloring at the table and all of a sudden Mulan came up to her. Even though she was extremely shy, I knew Emma was so excited to be seeing one of her hero's, Mulan! Later, we found our way to the front of the line and took pictures and got autographs from Mulan and Mushu. (They were the only characters we got photos with during our entire week at Disney!)
We spent the rest of the day 'touring' the different countries and stopping for lunch in Mexico. In the afternoon, we met up with a patient of Dad's who works at Disney and gave us a free fast pass for Soarin! The wait time is usually upwards of 90 minutes, so this fast pass was a wonderful treat. We got to take everyone on this ride and it was enjoyed by everyone.
After Soarin.. it was a race to get out of Epcot and catch a ride via two different mono-rails to make it for dinner at Chef Mickey's over at the Contemporary Resort. While I was NOT looking forward to the craziness of an overcrowded restaurant with tons of little children and parents all trying to catch a glimpse of the characters.. it ended up being cute. The food wasn't too bad. it wasn't horribly crazy, but it in the end the kids all had fun so that's all that matters. Happy children=happy family!
