Today we took our time going to Epcot, because we wanted to stay for the IllumiNations show that started at 9pm. We got there around 2pm, and spent the entire day there.
Our first stop was at Innovations West. It had a lot of fun things for kids to do; fire safety, etc.
We headed to the left and started to walk around the world. We passed a fountain that shot water to the beat of the music. Jilian said it was the neatest thing she has ever seen.

We stopped in Mexico and met Donald Duck. He was very silly and wouldn't give Jilian her autograph pen back.
We continued to walk through Norway and China. When we got to Germany, we stopped for a snack. Pete and I had beer, Mom had wine, and the girls had lemonade. We all shared a pretzel.
We went to Italy and stopped in The American Adventure to hear the drum and fife band play. Jilian was one of the kids who stood with the band and led the group during the Pledge of Alliegence.

We continued on to Japan (good beer) and Morocco. We stopped in Morocco so Jilian could meet her favorite Princess, Jasmine.
Next was France (there wasn't any good beer here).
As we were walking into the United Kingdom (good beer), we spotted Mary Poppins!
| Look at Laney's face - she was star struck! She just stared at her.... |
We went back to our locker, got our cooler, and had a picnic lunch before we went to Soar. Soar was a ride that took you soaring over the Golden Gate Bridge, mountains, rivers, etc. It was the neatest ride!! You actually felt like you were flying! As we flew over an orange orchard, you could actually smell oranges!
After Soar, we headed back to the bridge between the United Kingdom and France to watch the IllumiNations show. It was full of fire, lasers, and fireworks.
When the show ended, we went back to our condo for the night.
