This post is essentially the Best of the Rest as we started to get very tired, and we stopped taking pictures. Day Four was spent at Epcot Center, or as the Moo calls it, Apricot Center. We had not taken the children there the years before as we thought there was not much aimed at Preschoolers, but we were very much mistaken. They had a wonderful time, and I particularly recommend that new Discover the Seas with Nemo and Friends ride and the Turtle Talk show with Crush to everyone with small children.
The Crush show is interactive, with a holographic Crush actually responding to the children's questions and joking around with them. Definitely not to be missed! At the Magic Kingdom we went to the Monster's Inc Laugh Floor show, which is the same type of thing with various monster comedians interacting with the audience. The first monster picked Dad and the Bean to joke with, which was great although Mom got concerned that the Moo might feel left out. Not to worry though, as the third monster picked the Moo!! Definitely a high point of the day and also not to be missed.
Other favorites were Soarin' at Epcot (although again I am not sure how thrilled the Bean was with it) and Mickey's Philharmagic show. The Moo also relished her new status as a truly big girl and went into the Haunted Mansion with her Dad. The Bean had no interest in that particular ride, so she and Mom went on Peter Pan, which is just out speed.
Buzz Lightyear remained a popular ride with our girls -- here they are posing with Zurg, or Grrs as Molly used to call him!
Finally, perhaps the most popular attraction of the day given the heat, Ariel's Grotto was our last stop. We didn't mean to make it the last stop but by the time we pulled them out of there it was long past time to get back for naps and --yes--SWIMMING. Next year we will save the money and vacation at our community pool!
That concludes our photo essay of what we did on our Disney vacation! We hope you have enjoyed it as much as we did! At the end of the day, we had a great time, but we are so very happy to be back home (at least until the girls start lobbying to turn the backyard into a pool . . . )
