Florida Day One - Febuary 3, 2011

Thursday was our first day at the parks.  We went to EPCOT!!! When we first got there my mom still had to buy the tickets.  Her credit card wouldn't let her spend that much money at one time and so we had to call the bank.  Florida is two hours ahead and the bank in Lewiston wasn't open.  Eventually we were able to get the tickets, but it was a long wait. 

Hannah and Trevor waiting for the tickets: 
Hannah and Trevor with Minnie:
MICKY!!!:
Above:This is the best ride EVER!!!! It feels like you are "Sorin" above California.  A golf ball comes really close to your head, when you are above the orange fields you actually smell the oranges, and at the end big fireworks go off.  It's the best!!!
Outside Test Track:

Heather, Hannah, and Hilary eating lunch:
Kaitlyn and Gracie:

 Chip & Dale:
We went and watched this WAY cool interactive movie type thing with Crush from Finding Nemo. 
Crush asked some questions and he even talked to Carter (our cousin)!
After we talked to Crush, we got our picture taken inside this big shark:
Kyle and one of the sharks:
All of the kids:
There was a little boat ride where you could learn about all the different plant, and animals and their environment.  Dad and Trevor had already gone an the ride.  We were going past some plants I had never seen or heard of and Trevor points to one of them and told me its name.  I read the sign that said what it was and he was right!!!

Test Track is like you're actually going through all the tests cars have to got through.  you test the brakes, the tires, and at the end it takes you outside and you go really fast around in a circle.  Trevor really wanted to go, and after we got off, he said "That was a boringest ride ever!"
Waiting outside Test Track:
The "Epcot Ball"
At Epcot you can go around and see a whole bunch of countries, it was really cool, but we didn't spend much time there. 
We had to get a picture in Canada for grandpa Hall:

This telephone booth was AWESOME!!!
Marry Poppins was supper nice.  She had us all stand in a circle around her and tell her our favorite part of Epcot. 

In Norway they had a little viking ride that was actually fun.  At the end it dropped you down, not too fast, not to far, not even scary, and Hannah and Trevor were both terrified. 
After the ride we tried on viking hats:
In Mexico there was another boat ride that was WAY boring and I almost fell asleep, but Hannah and Trevor didn't want to go on it because of the viking one.  They did end up going on the Mexico one in the end and LOVED it. 
The Fireworks where AMAZING!!!
It was well worth the wait, and having to stay up late!!!!

So fun! I have a picture of me in that exact same phone booth! And I absolutely love Soarin' Over California - it's one of my favorites! :)
