Epcot center is really an amazing park. It has a little of everything, E-ticket rides, educational exhibits and a bunch of cool countries to explore. Again we got there early, in time to get a few fast passes before the park got too crowded. First stop was test track, a high speed car ride. Next was a trip into space where Greg and Gabriella got to help command a shuttle mission. I sat out with the babies and when Greg got off the ride he advised me not to go because even his steel coated stomach was feeling a bit queasy. We rode the Finding Nemo ride and looked at all the cool fish and even went to see Turtle Talk with Crush. Then we started on the countries. Epcot has changed a bit since we visited for our honeymoon or maybe it just seemed different going with little kids. Each country had characters from movies set there. Alice and Mary Poppins in England, Marie, Belle and the Beast in Paris and Mulan in China. It was really wonderful for Gabriella to see some of the rarer characters and learn where they were from. For example, I didn't know Snow White was set in Germany. The day ended with a firework and water show and a slow march through the park. If there is one thing to say about Epcot it's that you feel like you've walked around the world when you go there.
