EPCOT Day - 315/365

It was going to be a lazy morning today. 
 We planned on sleeping until everyone woke up. We got moving around 8:30. Then, around 9:00 we got our suits on and hit the pool! Our room overlooks the Finding Nemo pool, it's so great! They have a HUGE splash pad with fountains and characters from the movie that spit water. Reagan had an absolute blast running around! 
After she stretched her legs a bit, we hit the big pool. The water was perfect! We had a great time just floating around. Reagan loved swimming around, playing "open the gate." Jim and I would hold our arms out and she would have to guess the password to swim through. LOL! Jim's favorite thing was dunking his head under, because they have speakers under water. He said you could almost hear the music better than above water. 
Once we were done swimming, we headed back up to the room for a little time out. We just hung around for a little bit, then got cleaned up to head over to EPCOT for the rest of the day. 
When we got there, we went straight to World Showcase. We did something we've never done, we took the boat across World Showcase Lagoon. It was really fun and relaxing. We got to sit outside in the back of the boat. It was so neat! 
When we got off, we had lunch reservations at Via Napoli in Italy at 2:00, so we headed over there. That is one of our favorite places to eat. They have the BEST pizza and they are HUGE! They also have the best deal on grown up drinks in all of Disney. We LOVE Disney's Red Sangria. Here, you can get a pitcher for $20.00, where a single glass is usually $9.00. Jim and I can both have three drinks out of the pitcher! BARGAIN and YUMMY! 
After we stuffed ourselves, we were going to just stroll around the World Showcase. One of our favorite bands happened to be just starting as we walked up - Mo'Rockin! We just love the music and always stop when they are playing. Reagan really got into it. She went front and center and even tried to go up on stage, twice! It was a hoot! At one point, the belly dancer even came down and got some girls to dance with her. It was too sweet! Reagan really enjoyed herself! 
We hit a few more things in the showcase and then decided to go up to the front, to do a few Reagan friendly things. We went on Journey into Imagination first. She LOVED it! After the ride, we stopped in the gift shop and she insisted we get her a tiny Figment doll, which at first she called "Pigment". It was hilarious! We of course, bought it for her and she carried him around the rest of the day. 
Next, we spent some time letting her run around the colored music squares after the ride. She always gets a big kick out of those. 
After that, we headed back over to the Nemo ride. When that was done, we spent some time in the aquarium checking out the fish. We were watching the dolphin, when a little boy (older than Reagan) said, "Oh, look at the shark!" Reagan looked over and said, "That's not a shark. It's a dolphin." He said again, "That's a shark!" Reagan replied, quite directly, "It's not a shark, because it has a long nose. Dolphins have long noses." You tell him Reagan! LOL! We were howling!
We hit a few more rides, then went back over to World Showcase. 
We hit probably 5 of the booths, sampling all the goodies! One of our favorite drinks was Key Lime Wine at the Florida booth, along with beef sliders. Delish! Jim tried the Bratwurst in a Pretzel roll in Germany and said it was good. I always have to get some egg rolls in China. They are the best in the WORLD! We hit the Hawaii booth twice, once for wine. Then, Jim got a beer and I got a mixed fruity drink called, Aulani Sunrise! Hopefully they have them in Hawaii, when we visit the Disney resort some day! It was a great day at our favorite park!
