WDW--Day 3

On day 3, we did Epcot. This was the only day we didn't take a break midday because we let the boys sleep until they woke up on their own. William made it to 8:30 & Daniel 9:30. Anyone who knows my kids knows that this is darn-near miraculous!!! Poor Daniel was still trying to shake his illness & just wasn't getting enough rest. I was sure he'd miss his nap, but he STILL took a 2 hour nap in the stroller!

William's favorite ride was Test Track. It's a ride put on by GMC that takes you through some of the tests they put their cars through during production. It's all done in true Disneyworld fashion. It ends with a 65 mph run around a circular track. William LOVED it. It quickly beat out "Danger, danger Splashey Mountain" as his favorite ride. He rode it 5 times this day!

Daniel's favorite ride was The Seas with Nemo & Friends. He HAD to take a picture with all of the characters after the ride:

We had lunch in the country of Norway at Akershus with the princesses! My boys were so excited to see them, although you'd never know it from Daniel's faces. He was priceless. And, William was just the picture of excitement! He just kept talking about how pretty they all were. We started with Belle when we walked in the door:

She was so busy meeting everyone that she didn't have time to make her way to our table, but her friends did! First, we met Aurora:

Then, we met Cinderella:

After lunch, we did Test Track one last time and also rode Soarin'. That ride is NOT to be missed, no matter what else you do!!! The wait was fairly long, but William was a trooper. My parents & I rode it with him while Scott took care of the two littler ones. Daniel took his huge nap at this point. Thank goodness for reclining strollers!!! Then, it was back to the hotel for naps & pool time. One of the boys' favorite things about the trip was the water slide in the hotel pool. A quick snap of William coming down:

We cancelled our dinner reservation for tonight. We were just too tired of running around! Next time we go, we're adding a couple of "cushion" days to just take it easy & sun by the pool. Or, if we stay at the Polynesian again, on the beach!!

William with the Princesses is too cute! I guess we know he likes red heads now right?
