Disney Day 6 - Epcot

Views of Epcot, China,topiaries of Mickey, Phineas, Ferb. Our kids had a blast in the China gift shop. With the fans, parasols, ninja sticks, and keychains with all of their names on it. They even had one with the name Ana with one 'n'. They were ready to buy out the whole gift shop. Exciting stuff! Of course, they were deeply drawn to every gift shop for one reason or another.
Tower of terror was advertised on the way to Epcot. There is the famous sphere with Goofy and Donald topiaries in front of it for the Flower and Garden show.  We enjoyed tasting pop at the cool pool. They had soda from several countries of the world. I liked South Africa, and Zimbabwe the best. Italy's, sorry to say, was extremely bitter!
More shopping and posing. The magnets were favorite snacks that we enjoyed or wanted to enjoy at the parks. Mickey ice cream sandwiches, Mickey ice cream with crunchy fudge topping, Churros, Mickey rice crispy treats, donuts, and turkey legs. Jeff got to enjoy a turkey leg and it cost only $10.50! It was huge!
So, I assumed, that since the line for Anna and Elsa could get up to five hours long, that it would not be worth it to try to get in line to see them.  There was a recommended way to stand in line for an hour and a half, but that involved getting to the park really early. Since it was our last day in Disney and we had to get to the airport, we really couldn't go to Epcot that early. When we got to Norway, where Anna and else that could be seen, it was too late in the day to stand in line. We could have done so if we went there when we got to the park at 10:30 in the morning. So, that was disappointing. However, they happened to have the red velvet curtain open which divided the meet and greet area from the gift shop we, of course, were shopping in.  So, much to our surprise, we got to see them and get pretty close to take some good pictures. Alexa was still sad that she did not get to go in and meet and talk with them. We did get to spend a lot of time at Mission Space and that was really fun.
The house we stayed in. It was awesome. A perfect place for our whole family. I am glad I got these pictures before we left in the morning.
