One of our favorite families goes to Orlando the same week each year. They take advantage of the teacher work days and visit all the Disney parks. Over the past several years, I've been fortunate to go down with either one or both of the kids for a long weekend and meet up with them. It's become our thing and we all have a great time.
This year we did Epcot. One of the coolest things I've ever experienced happened around lunch time. We went to the American restaurant for lunch. Our plans were to go right next door and check out the singing group and the show in the American pavilion. The skies were gray and we knew it was going to rain. As we were walking to the building right next to us, we noticed the pouring rain was coming towards us. We could see it moving across the lake. It was wild to witness this. We made it in the building in enough time and timed it perfectly that when we were done and headed back outside, the rain was done too. To see thick sheets of rain move rapidly across a body of water and head directly to you was something out of a movie. So incredibly neat.
The first half of the day we spent doing the rides. At 5:15pm we had reservations in Mexico for dinner. For the remainder of our day (until Epcot closed) we ate our way around the world. A different dessert in almost every country. It was so yummy! And a rare treat the kids don't normally get. By the end of the day, my FitBit said I logged 23,000 steps. Yowzer! That level of activity was needed with all those sweets.
Eating our way thru Epcot is not for the faint of heart. Good thing Ian and Samantha were up to the task.
