Disney Day 3

So the next day of vacation was Friday and we spent that day at Epcot. We ate breakfast in the hotel lobby then took the monorail to the park. Our first stop was the Giant Golfball ride as the kids like to call it. We like that ride b/c everyone can ride it and its rarely ever a long wait. After that we had fast passes for Turtle Talk with Crush. We decided to go ahead and ride the Nemo ride also while we were there. Again its a nice ride that everyone can ride with little to no wait time. Afterwards we went to the Turtle Talk. Oh my goodness it was the cutest thing! We had done it when Colby was 2 but we hadn't been back. It was so cute and funny! I think the kids enjoyed it as much or more than the kids! Our next stop after this was Soarin'. My parents ended up opting out of this ride. They saw it was a 45-50 min wait and decided to sit on a bench instead. I felt bad my mom missed it b/c she loves that ride. After that we decided to go ahead and eat lunch. We ate at the Electric Umbrella...nothing special but it filled an empty spot. After lunch we split up with Randall and Elizabeth. We had a character meeting and they were meeting up with friends. We had a fast pass for the Disney Pals Character Greet. As always the kids loved it...well Colby gets super into it. Lindsay really only warmed up to Minnie Mouse. After that we decided to go across and meet Joy, Sadness, and Baymax. We had to wait quite awhile for this one. My parents decided to sit and wait that out since we were standing in line so long. I was so proud of how patient the kids were. They loved meeting these characters and getting some new autographs. After that we met back up with my parents and decided we all needed an afternoon pick up. We stopped for coffee and ice cream. By that point it was time to head to our Frozen Fast Pass in Norway. We made our way into the countries. The Frozen ride was really neat and I know Lindsay loved it! By the time we got out of the ride we met back up with Randall and Elizabeth and some old friends. We walked with them back to Mexico and rode that ride. Again it was nice to just have the opportunity to rest for a bit. After that we were all pretty tired and the countries were so crowded. I hated that we really didn't get to soak up the atmosphere b/c it was just so many people. We made our way to America..the halfway point and stopped to see the show. It was a tiring wait but so worth it to see the show. 1) b/c the show really is good and 2) b/c its like a 30-40 min break in the ac and in a comfy chair! 
Once we got out the show we all took potty breaks then walked the rest of the countries until we got to England. We arrived about 15 min ahead of our dinner reservation so we just hung out until then. Dinner was a hoot...between these horrible heaters being over the table and a man puking in the restroom it was quite eventful! The food was great though and we had many laughs. Once we finished dinner...it took about 2 hours we were all pooped and ready to head back to the hotel. My stomach was also hurting that night. It took us about an hour to return back to the Contemporary. R and E ended up staying and riding some more stuff with their friends. 
We got back to the hotel and it was nice to be in a tad earlier and have a little time to rest/regroup. It was a great day!
