Day 7 WDW

We started the day by taking a boat over to Magic Kingdom so we could catch the monorail to Epcot. Another "first" as it was addison's first monorail ride. We made it a little extra special by asking to sit with the rail operator so we could get the best view.




We arrived at Epcot where we found a character spot where you could have pictures taken with several characters in one location. The line was long, but Addison was a trooper. First was Mickey, then Pluto, and Minnie. Poor Donald was next. I feel I have to apologize to poor Donald. You see, he was standing next to the area where Goofy was, and...well...his shoes were all big and showing, and Addison stood still for just a few pictures before she told Donald "I go see Goofy now" and she walked off. Donald was left looking on from his kneeling pose at a girl who just snubbed him for another character. I guess Addison prefers Goofy. What can I say?

We went on to ride the Finding Nemo ride and Turtle Talk with Crush. She seemed interested in both. Turtle Talk is a great attraction. This is truly an interactive show and the people that control Crush always do a great job. It's fun and funny even if you don't have kids.

After that was Journey Into Imagination with Figment. Addison didn't like parts of that ride - I think the blasts of air scared her and it's a little loud, plus she was getting tired by this point. We ventured off to one more store where we ended up with a missing shoe incident, but that all worked out. On our way out, we had to stop by the Tinkerbell garden which was part of the Flower & Garden Festival going on at Epcot. I loved that they made this garden so kid friendly. They even had a small playground in the middle of it! It was beautiful and featured characters from the Tinkerbell movie.

On to the afternoon nap and we headed over to the Magic Kingdom that evening for the Spectromagic Parade and Wishes Fireworks. Addison loved the parade and I thought she was going to jump out if her seat when she saw Goofy and Mickey! She was so excited!!








Her favorite part of the fireworks was when Tinkerbell flies down from the castle over to Tomorrowland. I think she could have cared less about everything else! It was a great show and a must-see for everyone. We had awesome seats right in front of the parade route too. Another successful day!
