WDW Day 1

Today we went to Epcot. First we actually slept in, and it felt great! We didn't arrive until 12:00. It was a very different experience, but we were able to do so many things.

We got fastpasses for Soarin'. Then we went to Mexico and rode the boat ride there. It was Sarah Beth's first, and she did great. Then we strolled through some other countries on our way to Japan to get lunch. We saw Snow White and stopped for an autograph.





After lunch we went to Italy where we had gelato.


Then we watched Sergio the juggler. Sarah Beth was pretty intrigued with him.






He wanted Sarah Beth to shoot a ball in a net but she made a sad face, so Emma did it for her. She made it!

We headed to Germany to do a Kim Possible mission. Tim took Sarah Beth to get fast passes for Test Track. She fell asleep so they found a cool place to nap. At the end of the mission in Germany a little blonde girl chased the villain around in circles like on a cuckoo clock. Emma said, "Look! I caught the bad guy!!"

We went to China and watched the film. It was very good.


We also saw some models of the Terra Cotta Warriors. They were amazing. I can't imagine seeing the real things. We ended our time in China with another mission.


The girls also got umbrellas with their names written on them in Chinese. We can't wait to go back with our little one from China.

Sarah Beth drank two juice boxes of apple juice today. She drank eagh one in about 30 seconds.


It was time for Soarin' so we did that with baby swap. Tim took Sarah Beth to ride Nemo while the girls and I were on Soarin so we met them there and rode it again with them. She was so good. After the ride we visited the fish tanks. That was definitely her favorite part of the day. She was very careful walking up to the tank the first time. Then she touched it, realized it was solid, and got really excited. She must have said Oooo. Oooo. Oooo. twenty times. It was sooo cute.





We went to eat at the Electric Umbrella where we could watch the fountain. Tim and the girls went to ride Test Track and then we left.

When we got back to the hotel we went swimming for about 45 minutes. The girls went down the dragon slide. Tim even took Sarah Beth. She smiled the whole way down. She also started leaning back and dipping the back of her head in he water. She would say, "eh, uh, oh!". It was supposed to be one, two, three. Then she would lean waaaay back. Over and over again. So cute. It was such a good first day!
