Getting Goofy - Day Three

Another day at Disney, the kids couldn't wait. We headed to Epcot. Epcot is one of Grandma Ruth's favorite parks and we were looking forward to seeing the exhibits and going on all the rides. It was a bit more humid and hotter than previous days but the kids were in good spirits.


 Our first character visit of the day was with Goofy.
 So happy to get all three kids with Bruce at Seas with Nemo and Friends.
 It started to rain pretty hard when we started into the World Showcase. We made our way to Canada and stopped for a while. Leah, George and Matt went to check out the film on Canada while Ruth, the boys and myself spent some time in the gift shop. I picked up one of the Disney ponchos for Leah. She loved it.
 As we made our way into the United Kingdom we saw that Mary Poppins and Pooh and Tigger were available for a character meet.
 Tigger was super playful and kept flirting with us. It was a really nice set-up for photos.
 For dinner we headed over to Akershus Royal Banquet Hall. It was a favorite on our last trip with Ruth and George and we were all looking forward to another visit. It is a Princess character dinner. You get two large photos and 2 smaller ones with Belle included, as well as photos you can take with the Princesses at the table. We like the food and there is plenty of it.






 We finished the night with the amazing fireworks show, IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth. Great contrast from the last time Leah was there for the show. This time she watched, didn't hide and really enjoyed it.
