WDW Day 5: Epcot

Saturday - This day was a strange day. It turned out really well, but had some bumps along the way. I won't go into ALL the details, but it did involve Shareen not feeling well after riding Mission:Space (orange, I warned her!) and me having a mini meltdown because we hunted down Mulan's spot (you can find her ONLY at Epcot) and then we were told she wasn't there that day! The reason it was so important was that Marlee was dressed like Mulan and wanted a pic with her. Anyway, Marlee handled it way better than I did. I was tired!

We rode Spaceship Earth twice, The Seas with Nemo and friends, Journey into Imagination with Figment, Maelstrom (Norway), Gran Fiesta Tour starring the Three Caballeros (Mexico), saw Turtle Talk with Crush (Crush talked to Marlee), and Captain EO.

Marlee really enjoyed taking her "passport" through the World Showcase and getting it stamped in every country. She put stickers in it and got little messages written in it in different languages. I think that was her favorite and she still likes talking about the countries and looking at her Epcot passport.

Jeff, the little ones, and I enjoyed eating (ahem, and drinking) things from various pavilions ;-) Moroccan couscous and lentils, French pastries and an Orange Grand Marnier Slush, vegetable souffle and pastries from Norway, fish and chips from UK, margaritas from Mexico, etc. So good! I will definitely have to make room for something from Karamell Kuche in Germany next time!

We did get to see some of the street performers as we passed through. They were all really interesting. However, we did not stop a lot to watch because of the "got to keep Phoebee moving" factor. I would love to be able to watch more of them in the future though!

We also snagged a few characters there. Alice, Mary Poppins, Marie (from Aristocats) and Donald Duck in his sombrero.

Shareen got over her sickness and it turned out to be a great day!
