Day 3 - Sunday, May 27th
Epcot with Bfast at MK

I laid out a Cinderella costume for Jessica with a note asking her to join Cindy for breakfast in her castle. Very exciting!

Arrived early and went to breakfast entrance line where Jessica was DUMPED with pixie dust!

Leisurely strolled Main Street and front of castle and snagged many awesome photos.

Checked in for breakfast and lined up for Cinderella pics.

$130 breakfast at Castle in MK.

Glad we did it once but won't happen again.

After breakfast we monorailed it to Epcot. We asked to sit in the nose and the children loved that as much as anything! It was really awesome!

In Epcot, we headed straight for The Land.

There was a 2 hour wait for Soarin so we fast passed.

We did The circle of Life then headed out.

We did the Ellen/Bill N show and enjoyed it a lot but Jessica went to sleep before it was over.

When we returned to Soarin' we found out about their NON child swap and spent an hour and a half there WITH fastpasses!

We visited Living with the Land boat ride.

We headed to World Showcase and the snow cones in Japan are the bomb!

We let the children play in the playground a while. Gus had to dump the mornings Castle pics onto the laptop. I strolled around and checked out all the cool plant/flower stuff. Really pretty.

$17 lunch at Electric Umbrella.

Back to Coronado pool and naps for Dad and Jessica.

$22 dinner from Pepper Market because we were too tired to go back out.
