Today we hit EPCOT! We were going to meet at park open which was at 9am.
We all ended up running a bit late due to the Disney Marthon that was going on. Turns out, nearly 25,000 people (yes that's correct) were running the marathon, which ended in the parking lot of EPCOT. Roads were all turned around and rerouted for the runners, who were all wearing tutus, mind you. We all finally made it and got inside. Once inside the guys were going to run and get fast passes for Soarin' and Test Track, while us girls took the kids to meet Daisy Duck, who was right up front.
Jim ended up coming back because he couldn't even make it to Test Track because the runners track went through that part of EPCOT. Matt was heading for Soarin' and they had a partial road block over there. It was a very rocky morning but by 10:30 all was well and we were making it around with no problems. We ended up doing almost everything in future world and then headed back to have lunch in Mexico and margarita to wash it down. There is not much better than an EPCOT Mexico Margarita!!! They are Nikki and I's favorite! It was nice to sit and enjoy a margarita after the hectic morning.
After lunch, we did a few rides at World Showcase and then headed back to future world to do Test Track. They just revamped it and it was AWESOME! We all LOVED it! Ally was so excited because she was tall enough to ride!
After a few more things we headed back to have dinner in World Showcase. We had made reservations at the German Biergarten. This was one thing we had all been looking forward to for a long time. They have huge beers and a HUGE buffet. There is also a stage where they have some music. It's such a fun and upbeat place. After we ate, Nikki and I took the girls down and they spent some time dancing on the dance floor. It was too adorable. We were having such a good time we didn't even realize we were in there for TWO HOURS.
We had fun, but were kind of bummed because we weren't going to make it "around the world" as a group. Matt had promised Andrew he could ride Test Track again, so they headed over there. Jim, Nikki, the girls and I took a stroll "around the world" and then found a spot for fireworks. Ally was so excited to watch fireworks, she was talking about them all evening. The funny thing was, as SOON as they started, the little sweetie was out cold! She was sound asleep. More proof of a super fun day.
The photo of the day is Matt, Nikki, Jim and I at the Biergarten where we stayed for two hours! LOL!
