Thursday 14th August.

We were up at 9 and had yoghurts for breakfast and our usual hour of laziness in front of the telly! At 10.30 we headed down to the pool (yes again!). I went to do some laundry and as I came back the heavens opened and down came the rain. There was no sign of a storm so Evie and Simon spent a happy hour swimming in the rain, whilst I read under a umbrella.

At 12 I collected my washing then we went over to Cross Roads for a TGIs. We weren’t sure what to get, so ordered a couple of sharing starters to pick at. I think we had the JD sampler and the other sharing starter with Mozzarella sticks, potato skins and chicken wings. It was all very nice!

At 2pm we pulled into EPCOT, parking in Create 39. As it was still raining a bit, we went into Spaceship Earth straight away, our screen crashed on he way out this time, so we were a bit sad, not to see our “ending”. Evie announced she wanted to go to Mexico again so we did the ride and treated Evie to some Maracas that she was desperate for! When we came out Donald was there so we queued to meet him, which Evie was pleased about as we hadn’t met him at all the trip.

Evie was a bit grumpy so we decided against Maelstrom and had a stroll round the world, desperately trying to get Madam to fall asleep in her pushchair! We shared an ice drink in Italy and by France Evie was finally asleep! (This was the one and only nap in her pushchair the whole trip! How do other people get there toddlers to sleep in a pushchair!!??) We grabbed the opportunity for a drink at the rose and crown. Simon had a Bass and I just had a coke. We managed to get a table outside and watch the world go by for half an hour. As we sat there, there were people for a conference coming through International Gateway, literally hundreds of them, we were amazed! As Evie was waking we walked over to Mouse Gear for some presents. I also got some coasters and plates for my kitchen and Evie got a spinning, Minnie light thing!!

We weren’t really hungry for tea, but Evie needed something so we went into Electric Umbrella for some nuggets. Having been fed, Evie was a bit happier so we went on Nemo again, then Spaceship Earth for last time. On the way out Evie enjoyed the lights in the ground, we let her play there for 15 minutes, then she heard the fireworks starting and got a little hysterical!! So we ran into Art of Disney for a browse and purchased a couple of prints.

I left EPCOT with a heavy heart, a lump in my throat and one or two tears too! It really is my favourite park and I was thrilled that Evie enjoyed it so much too! :)

Tomorrow! Sea World and chilling at POFQ.
 
I have really enjoyed reading your trip report and love all the photos. Evie is very cute and I have had a tear or two in my eyes as it has made it all the more exciting to see how our DD's will enjoy WDW as we are going next August for their first trip to Disney.

I agree with the comment someone posted on one of your other threads about how refreshing it is to see a report where everything has really been a take it easy and at the childs pace. I think this is what we will be doing next August!

Thanks again for sharing - looking forward to the remaining episodes :)

I hate that feeling when you leave your favourite park for the last time....I always get teary eyed too. :hug:
 
What a shame evie doesn't like fireworks :sad2: im sure that will soon change !
 

Aww glad Evie loved Epcot too,she definately looks like she did bless her so cute.:lovestruc
 
Apologies for only just putting a post on your report on day 12 but just got the little one to sleep so can now type. I am really enjoying your reports and looking at all your pictures. Evie is soooooooo cute and looks as if she had a great time.
Don't feel guilty about your lie ins isn't that what holidays are for? You seem to have packed plenty in even though you haven't been in the parks all day.
I love Epcot too, funny when I was younger this was my least favourite park.

Thank you so much, that's really lovely! I hope you have as much fun planning your trip as I did with mine. We decided that this trip was for Evie, not us (Well mainly!!) so completely went at her pace. To be honest it was a refreshing change and a completly different trip from normal. I did miss doing some of my usual favourite things, but we've done them before and no doubt will do again in the future. :)

It's funny I didn't think about the lie ins till we got back and I looked at my notes and thought to myself, gosh we slept in a lot! We don't get a chance at home so really enjoyed it!
I didn't like EPCOT when I was a teenger either!

Another lovely day Verity. I love Epcot too :love:


I want to be ther NOW!!
 
some really fab pictures of Evie. I love Donald (and Daisy) but they are quite elusive- you scored big time there. :thumbsup2
 
Another brillant report Verity.

Your photos are lovely and Evie is so cute.
 
How great that they didn't shut the pool in the storm!
Love the pic of Evie and Mexican Donald!!
I love those lights in the ground at Epcot - they think of everything!
 
what a lovely day for you all
