Disney World- Day 2

EPCOT!!!
I can't remember the name of the ride but it's the one that goes inside the Epcot ball- yea, we did it like 3 times. We loved it.
When you sit down there is a screen in front of you. It has you click on where you live and then towards the end of the ride it asks you a bunch of questions. You get to create your own future depending on your answers. It even includes your picture that they take at the beginning of the ride. It gets funner each time you do the ride.

I took pics of the little screen when it told me what our future was going to be like.
That's Colben and I in our flying machine.
We're totally #1!
You then can send your picture over the email to anyone you want. It then appears on a huge screen above you. I took this one of me and Colben in our space suits.
The Nemo Ride!!!
Danika loves Nemo!!!
Colben likes it too!!
This is called "World Showcase" and it's basically about 11 different contries right next to eachother that surround a huge lake. You can just walk from one to the other and experience what it would be like to visit. This is Canada. I'm not sure if this is a representation of the castle in Banff but if so- I hope to be going there for real in June!!!

The United Kingdom.
There was a pretty bridge you cross into Paris.
Morracco
Japan.
These guys played awesome!!
Overlooking the water to the Epcot ball.
America.
(this made me want to go back to Washington, DC. and Virginia!)
We ate inside the America building and they had a genuine Gingerbread House and this is what it took to make it.
At each country the kids could make a mask and when going from country to country they had to find where to get little paper things to attach to their mask. Each country had something to attach that was unique to their country. We didn't know this until we were already 1/2 way through so the kids didn't get a lot of things.

There was this cool little train display in front of Germany. The kids followed it everywhere it went.
The family in front of Germany. I took more pics here than any other country- i'm a little biased but hey- what can I say? I'm a Bauer and proud!!!
China.
The kids saw this little Elephant and they had to get on!
Norway.
Mexico.
Honey I shrunk the audience 3-D show.
Outside the show they had these dancing water spouts and Colben got drenched. It took me about 5 min. to time the picture just right.
Colben took this of the ball!
This is a really pretty walkway between the World Showcase and the rest of the park. They would have the lights choreographed to the Christmas music that would play.
This is looking down one way towards the Epcot ball.
This is looking down the other way towards the Christmas Tree.

This is the second time I've viewed these pics, and my favorite is still the "China" picture. Colben has the vulture look and Danika is squirming. This picture made me laugh so hard. Those two are just the greatest, Lex.
