The first day of our Walt Disney World adventure began with a trip to EPCOT. We were nervous about the time change and we didn't want the kids to be tired and ornery all day so we started later than we should have. We got to EPCOT about an hour after the gates opened. Right of the bat, we saw two Disney characters, Stitch and Daisy, so we went over to them so the kids could get their autographs and pictures. Ashley and Megan were nervous about the rides in the park. Those two, all thought they are the oldest, are timid at best when it comes to the rides. They did go on Test Track, Adventure Space, Energy, Finding Nemo, and Soaring. Soaring was by far their favorite. Kaitlyn wasn't afraid about any ride we went on. Britney measures at just 40 inches which was required, but she didn't stand up tall when the ride attendants checked her, so she missed out on most of the rides.
We ate lunch and dinner in the World Showcase of EPCOT where Disney highlights different countries from around the world. We ate at Mexico for lunch (Montezuma's Revenge-free food) and we ate in Japan for dinner at a Benihana-type restaurant. EPCOT was especially crowded the day we went because they were having a Food and Wine festival in the World Showcase, so there were additional countries being highlighted that are not generally included in the World Showcase, like Ireland, Tahiti, Australia, and Korea to name a few.
During the week we went to all of the main Disney parks. On the 5th day of our trip we let the girls decide which park to revisit and they chose EPCOT again. The second time around, Britney was a pro at standing up straight and she was able to ride all of the rides she missed the first day.
Here we are riding Imagination with the character Figment.
We had the chance to see Captain EO in 3D that was big in the 1980s. Michael Jackson was Captain EO. The girls kept asking if MJ was a girl, I said, "Probably." I remember watching that show as a kid. EPCOT brought it back after that pedophile died, may he rest in peace!

I had to help Britney at the fountains so she wouldn't fall in.
