Kindermoon Day 3-Epcot!!

Our day at Epcot started bright and early. We entered Epcot through the main entrance but walked through World Showcase and out the back of the park. We had a breakfast reservation to get to. Sally wanted me to take pictures of her all along the way. We were so lucky to be in the park during Flower and Garden Festival and we had so much fun looking at the gorgeous displays!

On our way to the Boardwalk...

I was so excited to try the new Bon Voyage breakfast at Trattoria al forno!! 

Ok so as soon as you walk in, they have a make shift gift shop set up full of Ariel and Rapunzel gear. 

Of course Sally was immediately drawn to it where she declared she needed to buy no less than 10 things. Ummm...nice try baby girl!

We were seated pretty quickly and could already catch a glimpse of some of the characters. When you first sit down they give you both the menu and then Adventure journal...which is a fun little take home to complete.

After a few minutes, they brought the pastry skillet. I love that its served in a skillet...just like the one Rapunzel hits Flynn Rider with. It was filled with all kinds of themed treats.

To start I chose the fruit and Sally chose the yogurt parfait. 

For our main course we both chose pancakes. Mine were Rapunzel themed and Sally had fish pancakes. 

The characters were making their rounds and Sally could hardly stay seated. She was so excited!!

First came Rapunzel !!

And Flynn Rider!! Sally asked Flynn what was in his sachel and what do you know....he actually had Rapunzel's crown in his bag. It was a secret so he told her not to tell anyone. 

Next came Ariel...Sally's favorite!! She commented on both Sally's dress and ears and right then, Sally was having the best day ever!

We also got to meet Prince Eric for the first time which was really fun!

I absolutely loved this breakfast!! Both the food and character interaction was great!

After breakfast we headed back into the main area of Epcot to ride Soarin, Test Track, Living with the Land, Spaceship Earth, Figment and Nemo. 

No visit to Epcot is complete without a visit to Club Cool. We always have so much fun tasting all the strange drinks from around the world. 

Then it was time to head into World Showcase. We were so excited to work on our passport from Studio 1955.  This is such a neat concept!!! The kit comes with everything you need for a fun day exploring World Showcase. 

There is a page for each country with a sticker of the flag. It has different activities, pictures to take, etc. in each country. It was so fun!! Although we didn't totally finish the book, we will be bringing it back on the next trip to do more. If you are visiting Epcot for the first time or if you go all the time, its a great way to explore the countries and really turns the day into a great learning experience too!! Check it out here!!

Meeting Alice is always on the agenda!!

I was so excited that it was Flower and Garden Festival. There were some new things that I wanted to try like the violet lemonade....super yummy!

Also we had to go by the Karamell Cuche store in Germany to get a treat!!

We pretty much ate snacks all around World Showcase!

Sally picked out her souvenir of the trip. A set of fairies that she promptly lost the shoes for... Oh well. what can you do?

It was a great day at a super fun park. I know a lot of people think their children won't like Epcot, but Sally loves it!!

Moske's Do Disney: Day 4

Day 4 started off with a crazy rush to Epcot. Sally got a new Snow White dress to wear. It was from Darling Charlotte on Etsy. I love it so much. It is so well made and just precious. Sally was so excited to wear it!


We had a 9:20 am breakfast reservation. Although we left with plenty of time to spare, our bus stopped for a good 15 minutes and I just knew we were going to be late. Word of advice...always get there early!! After rushing through Epcot over to Norway, we finally arrived for breakfast at Akershus. We checked in at the hostess stand and had a 5 minute wait. We were then taken inside to have pictures made with Belle. I snapped a few with my camera but a few printed photos are also included in the price of the meal.

Here are the professional ones. I think they turned out well.

The breakfast itself was yummy...lots of pastries and fruits. They also bring out a plate of eggs, sausage, bacon and potatoes. Its all you can eat :)

During the meal, the princesses make their way from table to table. Just like the other character meals we did, they come to you. You just sit and eat and they will make their way over to you for pictures and autographs. About every 25 minutes, they do a "Princess Procession" around the restaurant where your little princess is invited to parade around. Its really cute! I think they did it twice while we were there. The first time, I held Sally's hand and walked with her.

Mommy and Sally

Sally loved meeting Snow White

Daddy and Sally

Sally and Princess Aurora

The second time they did the parade, Snow White came back over to our table to get Sally. It was really special. I'm sure the princesses are partial to little ones that dress up like them :)

Sally walking around with Snow White

She was so excited to meet Ariel.

The princesses were just fabulous...so engaging with all of the kids. Sally would just plop right down with them. She was just so excited!

After breakfast we explored Norway.

We were able to ride this before they closed it. I am so excited to see the Frozen changes that they are doing but I will miss this ride.

We also went to Mexico to ride Gran Fiesta Tour. This is always a fun little ride.

We did a few laps around World Showcase...popping in and out of shops, eating snacks and Joe drinking beer. The Food and Wine Festival had started and I really thought we would partake in the festivities more than we did...oh well...there is always next year.

Eating a pretzel in Germany.

Playing music in Africa.

Playing with Alice in England. Sally has a special love for Alice so we were all so excited for them to meet. We were not disappointed.

There were a lot of hugs.

There was flower picking.

Alice even tied Sally's bow for her.

Sally was loving it and I think she could have hung with Alice all day. One thing I love about Disney is that the characters really take their time with the kids.

Sweet Kisses :)

Someone passed out soon after....

So Joe decided to drink around the world.

When Sally woke up, we continued our day...stopping in Italy.

And there was more beer :)

We also took turns riding Soarin'.

We all rode Nemo a few times. Sally loved it...and she also loved looking at all of the fish in the aquarium section.

Here she is pointing to "Nemo".

Spaceship Earth is always fun.

For dinner, we walked over to the Beach Club and had dinner at Cape May Cafe. Its a seafood buffet and I loved it...all you can eat crab legs, fried shrimp, etc.....it was so good! After dinner, we walked back through Epcot.

It was such a fun day!!

Tips for Epcot:

*Do Akershus for breakfast. The lunch and dinner menu is a little strange.

*Try to schedule your Fast Passes in one area at a time so you arent going back and forth too much.

*Do yourself a favor. Go to Germany and get the Chocolate Covered Caramel with Sea Salt. It is soooo good!!
