Day 60: EPCOT
Originally our plan was to split this day between Animal Kingdom in the morning and EPCOT during the evening, but when we got to Animal Kingdom there had been an awful accident right at the gate. There were ambulances and trucks and a helicopter and no one was being let into the park. We said a quick prayer and decided to detour to Coronado Springs so I could show everyone the resort. We did a quick walk of the lobby areas and decided to have lunch at the Pepper Market, our quick service location.
After that we were ready to go to EPCOT. We decided to just spend the day there instead of trying to split it. We're a big EPCOT family, and we could honestly spend a whole week there and not get bored, so it was nice to have a whole day to dedicate to it.
We started off at Living with the Land, and after that we split up so Pa could go watch the drummers in Japan. Caitlin, Aunt Steph, Grammy, and myself all went toward Canada to start making our way around the showcase. Caitlin and I went to see O, Canada! while Grammy and Aunt Steph did some merchandise browsing. Then Caitlin and I stopped in England to meet my dear friend Alice. She was so sweet and she complimented Caitlin's flowered headband, and asked us if it rains a lot where we're from.
Then Caitlin and I decided it was time for a drink to go with the rain. She had a Stella and I had a peach cider, and things got very British.
Then we started mixing drinking around the world with desserting around the world, because that's how I prefer it.

When I went to throw this away, I had my back to the street and was facing Caitlin. Suddenly she was staring behind me and yelling. I turned around to Belle strolling about three feet behind me in her blue country dress, and in my utter starstruck shock I managed to spit out a "hello," to which she so perfectly smiled and replied, "Bonjour!"

Spumoni gelato in Italy. We also had the limoncello in Italy. That was interesting.
We finished it all off at my favorite shop for a caramel roll and a caramel apple!
Around this time, we ducked over to the Seas to find my roommate Maddie, and then pop into a showing of Turtle Talk. This was my third time seeing Turtle Talk, and I'd started to become discouraged. My first one just was not good, and while the second was better, I just wasn't getting the "roaring laughter" that all my roommates had experienced there. This time was totally different! The whole show was so funny! The best part was when Crush opened the floor up for questions and one little girl pointed her hand straight in the air and asked "What is the safest way to make turtle soup?" Crush was visibly stunned, and the little girl added, "My daddy told me to ask that," so Crush asked if he had told her to include the part about him feeding her the question, to which she replied, "Yes, he said I would get one dollar!" It was the most adorable and precious and hilarious moment, and Crush had the dad raise his hand, who had been recording the whole thing. There were so many quick little moments in the show that I just loved, and I can't wait to repeat it.
After the show, Caitlin and I booked it back to Mexico to watch Reflections of Earth with Grammy & Pa & Steph. We had such a great view, and we were right next to one of the fireworks launchers, so that was an exciting surprise.
