Hey Hey! It's back again. Round 4 of Traveling Tuesday is in full swing. Today, I am going to wrap up our trip to Disney World from August 2011. It truly was an amazing trip and I couldn't condense it in to just one post. Today we are wrapping up our tour of Disney at EPCOT. EPCOT is truly the place for kids of all ages. This park offers the best of both worlds for kids and adults. For the young at heart you can enjoy the half of the park dedicated to Future World and Disney friends like Nemo and the Lion King. The vast majority of the park though pays homage to the countries around the world. The World Showcase was a showstopper in my mind. Disney recreates all the elements of these countries including food, architecture, and even people. Through Disney's work program people from all over the world can come to Orlando and work in their "country" at EPCOT. We met some of the nicest people from all over the world!
One of the greatest things about staying at a Disney Resort is that each night a different park has extended hours. This allows guest at the resort to remain in the park after hours, sometimes until 1 or 2 am! One night after dinner we made our way over to EPCOT and stayed until midnight. The rides still run for the most part and the crowds are much thinner during this time. We caught the Seas with Nemo and Friends during this visit and it is a cute ride through the ocean with Crush and Nemo!
On our last couple of days we paced ourselves through EPCOT. The entire park cannot be done in one day if you want to gain the whole experience. Of all the places that we ate during the trip the taco stand in Mexico was by far the most amazing food I have ever had! The chicken tacos and churros were absolutely divine! We also caught the segway tour and Test Track. They are both great and Test Track is a must. I warn you though, get a fast pass as soon as you arrive in the park for Test Track, otherwise be prepared to wait in line for hours!
After exploring the countries for the day we met back up with Daniel's parents for dinner at Les Chefs de France. It was a good dining experience and really neat to talk to our French waiter, but I'm not sure it will be my top pick for our next Disney vacation. However, the French Onion soup is worth the stop.
The American Adventure show is a great one to catch if you have time. They talk a lot about the great founders and inventors of our country. Daniel and I really enjoyed it, because when we arrived they saw our "Honeymoon" buttons and quickly began to pamper us Disney style. An older gentleman told us that there was a phone call for us, to which we were both a little taken aback. When we picked up the phone though, it was Mickey and Minnie congratulating us on our marriage. Then we received an official Disney World marriage certificate and our choice of seating in the show. It was pretty special and that's what makes Disney so incredible. With thousands of visitors a day they still manage to make you feel like the only one celebrating something!
I won't bore you with all the details of our flight home, but we did have a fun experience the night before we left. While walking around in Downtown Disney, Daniel and I actually saw Danny Devito and Jack Nicholson! It was so neat and I am a giant compared to Danny. We didn't get any pictures with them, but I did snap this one as they were walking by.
Thanks for tuning in to Traveling Tuesday. Next week we will head to a different location. Feel free to join in and link up your Traveling Tuesday post in the comments section below! Come back tomorrow for an amazing recipe!
