Day 4! Our Disneymoon is almost over! 
We decided to spend the whole day at Epcot and then go to extra magic hours at MK at night. This was our third time at Epcot this trip and I still felt like we didn't do enough so I wanted to spend a significant amount of time there.
I was up and ready to go by 8:15...DH of course, was another story. I have to wake him up at least 5 times before he gets out of bed. I thought he was going to just hop in the shower and we would go...I wanted to get to Epcot by 9, because I wanted Soarin FP's! But he took his time, and then had to have breakfast, which I rushed him through...I didn't bother with breakfast because I was going to have a croissant in France when WS opened!
We eventually made it to Epcot, not at 9, but pretty close, and walked over to Soarin to get my FP's!
World showcase was empty (well obviously, it wasn't open yet!) so it was a good time for pictures
We got our Soarin FP's and our return time was pretty quick, so we just wandered around for a little while before riding Soarin. We got the front row this time, which I was sooooo happy about, because I was whining the first time we rode it about being in the 3rd row!
After Soarin, we went to Mission Space for the first time this trip! Surprising because Mission Space is a must do for me, and I usually like to go on it multiple times, but having to squeeze everything in to 4 and a half days is hard! We did the more intense side, of course, and after, Brandon of course, says what he always does, that he felt like he was going to throw up, and if the ride lasted any longer, he would have!
When you leave Mission Space, they're playing this epic sounding music, like you just accomplished something huge, so Brandon started doing all these ridiculous things, so I told him to run up ahead of me so I can take a picture that captures the epicness of the moment...I think this sums it up pretty well...

After Mission Space, we went to the front of Epcot to see if there were any characters out and we saw the adorable Lion King topiaries
And then, at the front entrance to Epcot, which we haven't seen once this trip since we were always coming in through the International Gateway, we saw all the topiaries in front of Spaceship Earth!
They were really cute, and there were a lot of people coming in, so we decided to start walking back, and I noticed something on the right side of Spaceship Earth I hadn't seen before...giraffe topiaries!
I cannot explain to you how much I love giraffes...but I do, so I had to have Brandon take my picture with them! Only, lots of other people had the same idea, so I had to wait...and I didn't want to just jump in, since there was no formal line, so people would walk by, see them, and go take a picture...finally I had to assert myself and just walk up when someone was done, or I would have been waiting all day!
Not the best picture, but whatever, good enough! Let's go!
By that time I was getting hungry since I skipped breakfast and it as almost time for World showcase to open...so I was ready to start walking over there, but we had to stop by Tinkerbell's Fairy garden first...
Up next...how I almost skipped Tink's garden all together because of my ridiculous phobia!
