Our First Night - Epcot Center





Our first night in "The World" was perfect. The weather was perfect - the crowd level was perfect. When we arrived in Epcot Wednesday night, we walked straight on to the Finding Nemo ride. Then we hopped over to see Turtle Talk with Crush, where Crush from Finding Nemo interacted with the kids in the audience. It was a fun show. The best part of the night, however, was walking around the world showcase. Epcot is so fun and interesting, and we didn't begin to scratch the surface of what they had to offer. But we did like touring the countries, especially Morocco. That's where we had our dinner reservation for the evening, and you truly felt transported to a different place. The food was good, the atmosphere was amazing, and the service was excellent. John, Olivia, Grammy and I pigged out and Olivia had fun dancing with the belly dancer later on. It was a great way to start our vacation, and I think it was everyone's favorite meal while we were there. In Japan, John just had to buy a glass of sake. It took him about three drinks to decide that was $5 down the drain. That stuff tasted like poison. Oh well, we enjoyed the music in Japan anyway. We headed back to the hotel to get some sleep, but I was too wound up from finally getting there to actually sleep. The pics are of Olivia and the belly dancer, my family outside the restaurant in Morocco, and the Epcot ball (which houses Emery's favorite ride - lots of pretty lights!). Tomorrow....an Incredible day.
