My Epcot Touring Plans:
So as anyone who has been there knows EPCOT is HUGE!!!!!!!! And it requires a lot of foot travel and time to see it all. I really love Epcot for everything it does offer to appeal to youngest and oldest in your group.
And Im so lucky my kids love the Countries!
This time we are so happy to get to experience another Flower & Garden Festival, (first was in May of 05) we cant wait to see what great and interesting Topiaries the Disney Gardeners and Imaginaers come up with!
Our Epcot Touring Plan will consist of one Full day and one ¾ day.
Our
Main goals are to see as much of the Festival as possible, try the WS Kim Possible Adventure, See and experience more of the countries especially the West side, and ride Soarin and Test Track, plus see Crush
DUDE!
The first touring day will be Saturday the 28th (our Day 3)
*
Dine at Restaurant Akershus-Princess Storybook Breakfast
Our ADR is for 8:10 am (So we are figuring we need to catch a Character bfast bus no later than 7:20-30 ish am)
After I sprang the surprise and gave away some details, I asked my DDs if they want to dress up and as who? Now I had already bought the cutest little Sleeping Beauty Costume (on sale) for
Margaret, figuring of course theyd say yes.
Mae was all over that and has decided to wear and old Belle costume we have
BUT!
Aldine (almost 10) has declined
oh man how could this young girl grow up so quickly that she doesnt want to wear a costume anymore
.Im hoping she may change her mind before we go.
*
See Soarin
Well have to utilize baby swap again for this as Im afraid Margaret will still be too small. But now we have a better plan.
*
Kodak Labs
For those not riding the 2nd time will go over here and hang out and play till we get back
*
Ride SSEI certainty hope the lines wont be too bad
Michael is a little nervous for this one (I think because he cant really see anything from the outside) If too long well wait till the end of the day.
*
Turtle Talk w/ Crush
At this point I plan to skip the Nemo clam-mobiles going in unless the wait is walk-up and just go in through the other entrance and straight up to Crush!
*
Seas Pavilion
This will be a time/interest decision there if we walk around and check other things out.
*Take the West side
Water Taxi up to the other side of the lake?
*
Explore the Japan Pavilion
Especially take to time to walk around in the big store and the toy/robot museum (Also some time before this pint well check in the KPWA kiosk and get our phone
Im really hoping you can do this over a couple of days)
*
Morocco
Look around and check out all the cool things!
*
Dine at Tangierine Café
QS meal Id love to eat before or around 11:30 am. Well adjust the tour accordingly. Other food options are Harry Ransden Fish & Chips. I will most likely have to have food or get something from a different QS place for Margaret
*
France
*
United Kingdom
Be sure to look around here and I want to find those Mary Poppins books and possibly make a purchase
*
Canada
If time allows well stop here
.I felt bad telling one of my BF whos Canadian I may skip her homeland
*
Ride SSE if we didnt do it yet
*
Head on out, but first stop to show my DDad our LAL Tiles (from 05) Hey if anyone ever wants to find our tiles just pm and Ill give you the location!
BTW our
evening plans for this day include:
A CSR rest night
A possible Night out for DH & I hop back over to Epcot
The 2nd touring day will be Wednesday our day 7)
*
Arrival time I hope to arrive at or before rope drop in that 8:30-9:00 am time frame
* Another opportunity to
ride SSE (see a pattern? We have not ridden this ride since our 98 trip and the kids have never)
* Ride
Test Track
*
SPILT those not riding TT will go over to Innoventions East or something F&GF (probably DMom & the little girls)
*
Ride Universe of Energy
My notes-KIM the time for this and time entering queue just right so we dont wait that long
* Scheduling in (not that I really need to but
) Take time to explore any special
F&G F things in the FW side: Especially Pixie Holly Fairy Garden & Minnies Magnificent Butterfly Garden
* Dine at
Electric Umbrella for Lunch
*
Mexico & ride the Gran Fiesta Tour boat ride
*
Norway: Ride Malestrom (SPLIT) and look in Kringla Bakeri Og Kafe for some good use of our Snack Credits
* Time for a
mid-day break (shootin for 12:30 ish)
Either head back to CSR, Marketplace, or split up and do both (i.e. Mom, me and older girls go shopping, boys and Margaret take a nap)
*
Hop back to Epcot (shootin to be back around 3:30 pm)
* Tour
Innovention West and take time to get Disneys Visas cardholder meet & greet picture
* Visit
Italy
* Visit
Germany (Note we spent quality time here in 08 so can skip if needed)
* Visit
China maybe see the
Reflections of China Movie and look for Mulan (if she wasnt at the breakfast on Sat)
* Dine for
dinner at Lotus Blossom Café (probably have to get some diff foods for some of the kids or try to order off adult menu for them Norway & America are close by)
* If time allows
anything else?
*
leave for the night we are not staying for Illuminations so wed like to get out of the park before 8:45 pm or at latest.
That is it for
EPCOT

J-
Wow it's coming Fast!
about finishing it!)
Have a great week!
Tricia was 12 when we dined here last Spring; she did not want anything to do with wearing a costume, either. But, she loved seeing the princesses and taking pictures with them, especially Belle in her ball gown, which is a rarity!
Can I just say I am so impressed with your binder and box, and, and, and.....
