Florida Vacation - Part III - Day 3 - Orlando, FL - Epcot

After our stay at Clearwater, we all hopped in the car and drove the quick trip up and over to Orlando, FL to DISNEY!  We were all SUPER excited about this part of our trip and totally made the most of our time!  I'll narrate through our photos and let the pictures do most of the talkin'!

Day 3 of our trip - EPCOT
Since most of our morning was spent driving to Orlando and checking into our amazing hotel (more on that later!) and getting settled, we decided to keep our first day low key at a slower park.  We headed to Epcot.

Waiting in line for the boat over to Epcot.

Incredible Swan & Dolphin Hotel!

Mommy and Kate on the way to Epcot!

Arrived and headed to walk around.

The first princess we saw was Sleeping Beauty.  Kate was a bit
shy and didn't want me to put her down.

Saying our hello's!

Princess Aurora, Kate, and Mommy.

Next stop, fruit snack break!

Just sitting on the curb having a little snack!

Waiting in line for our next princess, Kate's
favorite, Belle!

This next time, Kate had no fear.  She stood in line and when it
was her turn she walked right up to Belle and gave her a big hug!

I guess when she's your favorite it's different!

Belle thought it would be nice to read Frozen together sometime!

And Kate would love that too!

Papaw and Mimi at Epcot!

Getting ready to ride The Seas with Nemo & Friends.

But first, a walk along the rock wall.

And a quick hello to Nemo!

Exploring the aquarium after the ride.

What is it about aquarium pics?!

They are just so cute.

That's why...

...I had to put all five of these in...

Next stop we saw Chip and Dale and we learned that Chip has
a little black nose like a chocolate chip and Dale's nose is
reddish brown.

Group photo with Chip and Dale!

A hug goodbye for Dale...

...And a kiss on the head goodbye from Chip!
We visited Epcot during the International Flower and Garden
exhibit and the displays of flowers were gorgeous!

And on our way out of the park, we ran into Pluto!

Those are some big paws!

Pluto and Kate - a fast fav!

And a big hug for the goodbye!

Being silly with Mimi and Papaw!

On our first night at Disney, we had dinner
reservations at Chef Mickey's at the
Contemporary Resort.
Giving Goofy "five"!

He makes us laugh!

Playing with his whiskers!

Goofy and Papaw!
A big hug for Mickey!

Mickey actually sat down at the table with us!

And it appeared that he and Kate had a conversation!

Making Mickey laugh!

Papaw, Mickey, and Mimi!

When Donald stopped by, Kate fully expected him to sit as well.

But he was just there to say hello!

Big smiles for Minnie!

And a big hug too!

Kate, Minnie and Mommy!

And our last visitor was from Pluto with those
massive paws!  (Love how she looks at those!)

Also love how she looks at him!

Pluto's ear!

Hiding behind Pluto's ear!

Silly Pluto!

 
We had a great first day at Disney.  Epcot and Chef Mickey's were good choices!
 
Stay tuned for FL Vacation day #4 - Magic Kingdom!
