Disney World: Tuesday at Epcot

Tuesday was our first day at Epcot! We arrived at the park at 9:00, ready to explore Future World and World Showcase at Disney's Epcot.

We started our day with Test Track, a fun interactive ride where we designed our own cars and then "tested them" on the track!

High on the list to visit was Club Cool, where (for FREE) you could sample soft drinks from all around the world! This was one of Noah's favorite places to frequent.

We also visited The Seas with Nemo and Friends and the accompanying aquariums!

Manatees!

We stopped to listen to a performance, mainly for Dad...

...and ate lunch at Sunshine Seasons in The Land building. While in there, we watched Circle of Life.

We headed over to Norway in World Showcase to ride the new Frozen Ever After with our Fastpasses!

It was really cool! (Get it?)

There was pin trading to be done in Norway and along the way...

We left the park for the rest of the afternoon to swim at our hotel and get a short nap. It was a wonderful break! We returned in time for our Fastpass on Spaceship Earth (inside the iconic ball) and dinner reservations at Via Napoli Ristorante e Pizzeria in Italy. It was delicious!

From there we toured Morocco, where we stopped for a bit to listen to a performance by a Moroccan band.

We then went to France and saw Impressions de France which was introduced by a memorable Frenchman... you had to be there to know what I mean.

We perused the United Kingdom pavilion during the fireworks show, then went over to Canada to watch O Canada!

Last, since it was after 9:00 and during the evening Extra Magic Hours, which meant the lines were shorter, we headed back to Norway to meet Anna and Elsa--there was no wait at all!

Time to head to the bus and to bed! It was a magical day at Epcot.
