Christmas Day dawned bright and early. We were up at about 5:00am with the hopes of getting to Epcot early. Though it wasn't a normal Christmas morning we will had the kids line up. We have it on record that Haley was first, though we might let her go first again at home this coming Christmas.
The kids were told that they were getting one small, boring present and that was it. Well, Deborah went all out and got them a cinch bad, treats and activities for the park, a water bottle and umbrella, pins and a lanyard for pin trading, etc. So fun!!! It was so awesome of her to put it all together. We of course all chipped in and paid for our kids, but she did all the Mickey heads and all the gathering and sorting of awesome goodies.
Obviously not happy about something......it's not like we were doing any cool that day like going to Disney World......
We even had pumpkin pie and egg nog that morning, trying to keep somewhat with tradition. Also everyone received a mini box of cereal in their stocking!
Almost there. Our first time!
We made it to Epcot!!! We were some of the first people in line which was fun. There was lots of waiting, but it was worth being up front!
Not much commentary to follow, but we had a great day, of course! We hit up a couple of rides and met up with the rest of our group.
Out of all the kids, I think Haley was so happy and delighted to be at Disney World. I loved seeing her excitement. (I could be wrong!)
I didn't know this but Epcot has a world section with different countries which we all enjoyed exploring.
Pin trading!
Okay, the Cool Club was awesome. It has different flavors of soda from around the world that you get to try for free. SO fun!
My parents rented scooters for the week. There was a bit of a fiasco with them that morning. The proper instructions were related and the scooters stopped working. They finally got another set and by the afternoon they were zooming around.
On one of the rides we saw some of the greenhouses that Disney uses. I didn't know they produced much of their own food right at their parks. Pretty cool.
For lunch we all met up at the San Angel Inn.
We got to sit across from the Ereksons which was fun.
I told the hostess that it was my birthday on Saturday and she said that was close enough and they brought me a treat and sang a birthday song to me!
We saw a few performances like some Chinese acrobats above, and then about some Christmas traditions. This lady told us about Italian Christmas traditions. We also saw a cute performance set in Norway.
The pictures taken on rides were some of the best!
The Norway performers.....
And we all loved Test Track. So fun. We had a fast pass for it that night.
I think all the kids fell asleep on the way to the rental, about a 20 minute drive. A great first day!
