Disney Vacation: Day 3

Another successful outing to a Disney World park today--we enjoyed the day at Epcot and are actually heading back to see the fireworks this evening as they are supposed to be the most impressive of all the theme parks. They are not until 9:00 pm so we went back to the hotel for an afternoon siesta. And we've also gotten past the upper GI signs of Sofia's illness (please note I specified upper GI...), so no cooler bags had to be sacrificed today.





Today was a big day for Sofia. We had reservations to have a Storybook Princess lunch and got to meet Belle, Aurora, Snow White, Ariel, and Cinderella. We had a little warm up with two fairies in Pixie Hollow where Ethan flirted with the fairies and Sofia hid behind me... Ethan walked away with a lipstick kiss on his cheek and Sofia walked away with a little more courage. She was still pretty shy when we met Belle, but then became much more animated with the rest of the princesses.

Sofia's favorite princess.

Currently, Epcot is featuring the the Flower & Garden Festival. There are some very cool character topiaries around the park--and Sofia became a little poser and wanted her picture taken with many of them (Yea! Evidence that Sofia was actually in Disney World with rest of the family!). Ethan's favorite was Lightning McQueen, of course.












We did end the day back at the park for the fireworks which were impressive, though a shorter show than I was anticipating.






And, yes. We are those parents that allow our kids to dress up like Norwegian Vikings and have a sword fight in the gift store (but, hey, that's what you get for making us walk through the gift store at the exit of the ride!).












Uncle Kyle and Auntie Jaime arrived in Orlando from Jacksonville this evening. We look forward to going to Animal Kingdom with them tomorrow.
