Epcot--Day 3

Tuesday we headed to Epcot. Unfortunately, this is the day Stacy became sick (bad, bad cold that we are all still fighting off) and only made it half the day. We spent the day in future world and had our picture taken with Mickey and Pluto. One of the perks of having a Disney Visa card is that they have a secluded private meet and greet with a character and you get a free 5x7. It was really cool because only one family at a time is allowed in the room and they let you spend as much time as you need to get whatever photos you want. We waited quite a while and I was a bit concerned that we wouldn't get a cool character (they don't tell you who the character is and I was afraid it would be Chip & Dale or Lilo & Stitch, which Hannah either doesn't know or doesn't care about). To our great surprise it was Mickey and Pluto! Stacy hung in until after the photo and headed back to the hotel. Toby and I took Hannah on a couple of her favorite attractions (we had to wait an hour and a half for our photo) and we joined Stacy back at the hotel for nap time. Then we ordered pizza and stayed in our room and watched movies....Disney movies.

Family Photo

Disney has added several neat things to Epcot for kids, I guess because Epcot is considered by many to be the least kid friendly of the parks. In future world, they give kids a tag and have tables in the Land and the Sea pavilions where cast members add tags that the kiddos can color with markers. Hannah seemed to like it and hey...free souvenir. In World Showcase, the kids can color a mask in each country. Very cool. We only stopped in two countries and only did a mask in one, but Hannah did a great job on it.

We wore her out again!! (and it's still daylight)

For some number of years, Disney had a "Leave a Legacy" promotion. You could commemorate your trip by having your picture taken that was added to metal plates and placed on granite columns at the entrance to Epcot. Part of our "romance package" when Stacy and I went to Disney for our 10th anniversary in 2003 included a leave a legacy photo. So we found it (with the help of their computer). Ain't we cute? [Note: it actually looks better in person, but doesn't photograph very well).
