Epcot:
Or as Parker would call it "F-cot." This was such a great day for Eden because she got to meet Anna, Elsa, Aurora, and Snow White (see previous post) and for Keith and me because the food. :) Parker wasn't so impressed with the rides, but he was pretty happy to see some trains. It was also the Flower and Garden Festival so everything was in bloom and there was even a butterfly garden. Perfect intro to Disney!

Animal Kingdom:
The safari ride is an old favorite, but this year Parker was tall enough to ride Kali River Rapids. He rode once with Keith using a Fast Pass. Eden and I waited at the end and saw them get off completely dry. They grabbed a Rider Switch so I was able to go through the Fast Pass line with Parker and let him ride again. We didn't get off so lucky. We were soaked and Parker thought it was awesome. It was worth it to walk around with wet shorts for 4 hours to hear Par's squeals and laughs. I think Eden's favorite part was the dole whip... yum!

Hollywood Studios:
The Toy Story ride at Hollywood Studios is SO fun. We rode twice. You use a laser gun and shoot at targets on different screens throughout the ride. I barely beat Parker the first round, but my big talking came back to bite me the second time and Keith pulled out a victory. I blame it on my laser. Eden was most improved increasing her score from 200 to 4,000. Ha! Also at Hollywood Studios: a Star Wars ride for Keith and Parker; Olaf's meet and greet with Eden; a Disney Junior area with a show and pictures with Pluto, Jake (and the Neverland Pirates), and Princess Sofia; Frozen sing-a-long (I think this was a favorite for all of us!); and ice cream. There's always a treat. ;)
We scheduled two days in Magic Kingdom and they did not disappoint! More pictures coming soon...
