Orlando- Day 3 1/2







Okay, let's just say that this was a long day. Good thing we didn't have the kids with us. They would've been miserable, by the end of the day. Along with the entrance fees for Discovery Cove, you get a free day at Sea World. So after Discovery Cove, we headed over there. We went on a couple of rides—Journey to Atlantis (in the picture) and Grant went by himself, on the Kraken. We also saw some beautiful flamingos, some huge turtles, dolphins, and of course, Shamu and friends! I loved the Killer Whale show, amazing and extremely entertaining. And they were even training a baby but I couldn’t get a very good picture. He was so cute! Following Sea World, we went to Dinner at Downtown Disney. By then, it was about 9:30 pm, and we had been up for way too long! However, we had an extra hours pass at Epcot (which was the whole purpose of staying in a Disney Hotel) and of course we had to use it. Anyway, we knew we wouldn't have time to do three parks on Sat. So from 9:30-12:30 pm, we went to Epcot. It was beautiful! First, we had fun on some rides—Test Track, Spaceship Earth, etc. And not so much fun on Mission Space! Both Grant and I felt so sick after that one! However, we met some people from Puyallup on that ride, which was neat. Then we hurried through the main attractions of Epcot, all the countries. It is like walking around the world in 1 hour. They have buildings, a restaurant, people in costume, music, etc. It was awesome! We “visited” Mexico, Norway (pictured), China, Germany, Italy, American, Japan, Morocco, France (pictured), United Kingdom (pictured), and Canada. Well… we overstayed our welcome! LOL! After closing, we were assigned our own personal tour guide! LOL! She told us some stories about Epcot, for example, about when the Moroccan King came to visit to make such they were representing his country well. I thought that was neat. Then we went back to the hotel, and after being awake for 17 ½ hours, we barely made it to our pillows, before falling asleep!
