!America!

We heard Disney Gingerbread is magical. How can you resist buying a giant gingerbread from a life-sized gingerbread house? It was soft, chewy, and delicious.

Of course, my parents loved the German area of Epcot. This time around we ate at the Biergarten Restaurant. German fare buffet, live entertainment, German beer, and good-looking wait staff equals an awesome time.

Epcot Day One

Mission Space

Italian Christmas Storyteller
We did lots of new stuff this time at Epcot. New rides, ride malfunctions, and lots of new character meets.
Christmas is an awesome time to visit Epcot. There are storytellers for each of the countries. They dress as the main character of the story and tell kids how December holidays are celebrated in their country. Afterward, you can meet and take pictures with the storyteller. It's a great way to get the kids involved and learning.

I was finally tall enough to ride Mission Space, a space shuttle simulation ride. I rode it several times. We went on Figment's Imagination, and I enjoyed it. We also watched the China 360 movie we didn't get a chance to see last time.

The best ride at Epcot is Spaceship Earth. It's inside the giant golfball looking thing. We had very bad luck with this ride this time around. The ride kept stopping and getting delayed. One time we were on it we got stuck at the very top. AFter waiting 15 minutes we had to be evacuated. This simply means we had to walk down very narrow stairs to the bottom of the ride. It took forever.
