We got up, got breakfast and then headed toward Epcot. We had lunch reservations at the Garden Grill to have lunch with Mickey, Pluto, Chip & Dale. We met Aunt Sue & Uncle Tom at Epcot.
We decided to let Anna walk around a bit - she was very restless. She is very independent and wanted to walk a lot. So, we headed for Innoventions. It is an area at Epcot where they have educational exhibits about farming, fire safety, etc. So, inside this building is a walkway that has white lines down the middle like a road. Anna was fascinated by this and kept walking on the white lines. I got a little video of it. Again, it is sideways. Sorry.
After walking around a bit, we headed for lunch at the Garden Grill. It was our first Character meal. Celie was very excited to meet the characters. However, Anna was a little more suspect of the large creatures. Bob was surprised by Chip.
Anna is not too sure about Chip.
But warms up to Mickey. Who wouldn't?
After lunch, we headed back to the hotel. Bob took Anna & Celie down to the pool. It was a zero entry pool. Anna was right in, but Celie was a little cautious at first. By the end of Pool time, both girls were laughing, splashing, and having a good 'ole time.
Then it was time to get ready for dinner. The crew was headed to the Magic Kingdom for dinner at the Crystal Palace. Another character meal - this time with Pooh, Piglet, Tigger and Eeyore. We had some time to kill, so we watch another show in front of the castle. Celie loved this show. We must have seen it 7 times while at WDW. Here is Celie enjoying the show on Bob's shoulders.
After the show, it was perfect timing to head to the Crystal Palace. Kelly was ready with her fabric swatches and while they were waiting to be seated, Uncle Tom taught Anna how to climb the stairs to the restaurant. Just what Bob & Kelly needed another item that they would have to tell her NO when they got home.
Once we were seated, we had a wonderful buffet dinner. Celie, again, was great with the characters. We were able to meet all of them and get their signatures. Anna was still a little suspect about the creatures.
Kelly was very excited about meeting Piglet. Piglet has been her favorite for years. Here is Kelly getting Piglet's autograph for her, ah, well, for the girls.
Bouncing Tigger was just that - always in motion. Hard to get a snap with him moving all of the time.
Celie & I got our picture taken in front of the rose topiaries in the Crystal Palace.
I had to take a picture of the castle just before dusk. It is truly beautiful in any kind of light, even when the skies are gray and threatening to rain.
After dinner, we wondered around the park a little bit and headed back to the hotel. We decided to bundle up the girls and head to the beach to view Wishes - the fireworks display from MK. After the fireworks we went to our rooms rest up for our next adventure - Disney's Hollywood Studios.Today's mileage was more calm. I mere 6.3 miles.
