From the Polynesian we grabbed the monorail to get our park day started at our most favorite park
EPCOT!!! Neither one of us can ever get enough of Epcot and you will find us here several times throughout the trip. Candi always laughs at me when i plan out park days at home before the trip because he knows we will always end up here more than anywhere else
Upon entering the park I attempted to capture as many pictures of "the ball" as possible while still walking. Candi was not slowing down - he was on a mission for some fastpasses. To where you might ask?
Ok, ok ... you probably weren't asking where. I mean, really, where else does everybody run off to for fastpasses at Epcot
I allowed Candi the joy of obtaining passes while I took the opportunity to take another 5 billion pictures - I am slightly obsessed if you couldn't tell
I love the ceilings here - it's like you can look up and find peace amongst all the chaos going on around you!
With passes in hand we decided to head over to do the land boat ride, but alas, it was closed. I was a little sad, I remember riding it when I came the first time and I truly loved it. I constantly tell Candi about it and he is dying to ride it but each time we've been it's been closed .... so sad!
Since that was no longer an option we decided to head over the the Seas pavilion and check out everything it has to offer.
Oh look, you can see the ball from this angle
Once we got inside the pavilion we actually spent a long time just looking at all the aquariums - something we rushed through last trip.
Of course we had to stop and say hi to Nemo!
I absolutely love seahorses - they are such interesting creatures to me.
Now I have a confession that most people don't know .... Although I think jellyfish are one of the most beautiful and graceful creatures in the world they are also one of my biggest fears. Whenever we go to the ocean I am never afraid of sharks but I secretly freak out the ENTIRE time that I am going to stung by a jelly fish. Sometimes I even have nightmares about it
This little guy was super interesting to me. He is a cuttlefish and i learned that he has 3 hearts!!!
Starfish - another of my favorite sea creatures!
Oh no - did you get lost again Dory?
Candi also ensured that we went to check out the stingrays - they are quite possibly his favorite animal. We've even gone to snorkel with them which Candi loved and kind of freaked me out
I think we spent almost 2 hours looking around all the different aquariums. In that time we didn't go ride Nemo or talk with Crush, we just walked around enjoying our surroundings.

He did, however, enjoy the bok choy which is another thing we have only be introduced to recently.
The food was a little split down the middle for us - I enjoyed most of my meal but Candi wasn't too fond of his - more than likely we won't be back.
So, I left it alone and told him that I would check and see if they sold bottles of the different types of drinks. Sadly I did not see them .... I think this would be a great idea though!
. I have to know, where did you take the picture "flying" over the world 
. Do you mind sharing?
When you leave Teppan Edo you are actually up a flight of stairs and there is a big wrap around patio out there. It ended up being a perfect place to see Illuminations from!
