Disney's Epcot Park: Spaceship Earth & The Garden Grill

Disney's Epcot Park was really a lot of fun! It had all sorts of engaging activities and hands on things for the kids to do. Some of the rides were super fun at Epcot with all sorts of futuristic themes. The giant silver ball was the most exciting thing upon entering the park. The first thing the boys wanted to do was to go inside that giant ball. And so we did! Inside was a ride called "Spaceship Earth" and was like a spaceship ride through the ages of time of the earth and then into space. It really was pretty amazing and the boys, loving spaceships and space themes anyway, absolutely loved it! We actually went on it again later that day since it was such a hit!!



We ate dinner at the Garden Grill Restaurant, a restaurant that actually spun around as we ate dinner. Of course it spun super super slow so as to not bother with dizziness or making people sick as they ate, but it was really neat. The boys would look up and see one scene, and then a few minutes later they'd look up again and see something completely different! It was exciting! We also got to see Mickey, Pluto, and Chip & Dale, which was fun! Since our kids hardly watch any TV, these characters didn't mean a whole lot to them. I think for some kids, the characters from the TV shows are like heros, but they definitely weren't the highlight of Disneyworld like sometimes is assumed. Rather, they enjoyed the spinning restaurant much more!! Kaylee actually was terrified of the big strange characters. She eyed them with interest but with a guard. As they come closer, she would edge away from them. If they got too close she would lose it and break out in tears. We got the perfect shot of Pluto coming towards Kaylee and Kaylee's reaction to him. She just was ready to jump out of her high chair and scurry away as fast as she could with a look of terror. What a cutie!!
