Our Disney Adventure Begins

 Sunday brought with it our first trip to the Disney parks. We decided the night before to begin our Disney adventures that day so that we could take a day off midweek to just hang by the pool (a brilliant idea courtesy of Dave's dad). Epcot is pretty much my favorite of the Disney parks, and with how much the girls love learning about the countries that make up our world Dave and I knew that it would be a hit with them too. It was the perfect first park for them and the perfect way to begin this next leg of the adventure!
 First up: a family picture in the UK!
What a treat to get to chat with and meet Mary Poppins! 
 I just adore this picture of the girls walking in to France. Everything about it is simply wonderful. Someday, sweet girls, we'll see France for real. 
Looking very relaxed with her ice cream in France.  
 Chatting with Grandpa Ron while enjoying her mint chocolate chip ice cream. 
 Since we got a later start on Epcot we didn't do all that much this day. We did head to The Land before heading back to the resort. We knew that the girls were adore The Land and I am so very glad that we got to take them on it before calling it a day that day. 
With so much of Epcot left to visit (and Dave and I with a dinner reservation that night since it was our anniversary) we decided that we would head back later in the week to spend another day there. I am so very glad we did as it allowed us to see the rest of the countries and to visit The Land again (blogpost on both our anniversary dinner and second visit to Epcot to come)! Epcot really was the perfect beginning to our Disney adventure! xo 


Be sure to check back later tonight for pictures from our peach picking adventure this morning.

    1. That's part of The Land! They grow things mainly hydroponically there! It's a fabulous ride (and the behind the scenes tour that I will blog about later) is truly incredible! The girls loved this ride so much that we rode it three times! xo

  4. I haven't been to Disney World in years! I always liked Epcot the best too. Mary Poppins holds a special place in my heart! I just love that movie. My big daughter is even called Mary! ;)
