Part 9: Last minute Epcot, AKA "the coldest day ever"

We actually only have this 1 photo from Epcot! How sad.  The morning was so so so cold at 0 degrees, that I was dreading the day....staying in the hotel room all day was not an option! There aren't many indoor activities in a place like Orlando, so we decided to go to Epcot since we still had days left on our Disney pass.  We put the girls in hoodies and their fall jackets.  Rose had on double layer pants.  We remembered Epcot had some longer rides, and the ones we knew we would go on were relatively close together.

We arrived to Epcot to find that it was busy as ever.  We headed straight for the Spaceship Earth ride in the big silver ball.  The line was moving quick but of course stopped for about 10 minutes while we stood in the cold and Paige was sooo upset about the cold--mike held her like a baby in the line.  Rose was in my arms upset and taking her hood off and then shivering.  Finally we boarded the long ride, which was a nice reprieve.  We then headed to the Nemo ride and accompanying aquarium, which is where we took the above photo.  Rose was not happy about the shark and wouldn't get in the photo.  After she was saying something along the lines of "no shark, cheese"--as in I won't say cheese beside the shark.

We ate an early lunch and then went on "The Land", which was essentially a boat tour about agriculture and greenhouses--Paige really liked it and said "again!!" after it was over.  So funny.  I really wanted to go on "Soarin'" as I missed it last year, but the wait was 70 minutes.  One day...

Our final ride was the Figment ride, which starred a little purple dragon--we knew Paige would love this ride.

After that it was late and we went home.  It was slightly nicer at this point and not a cloud in the sky so it was definitely bearable, but time to bring Rose home for a nap.  We had to skip the World Showcase, but it is such a long walk, and we didn't have time.  Last year we did it as Rose just napped in her stroller.  I wanted to visit the Biergarten this year, but oh well.

Later in the day we needed to leave the room for housekeeping so we went to the park and played treasure hunt with money which we couldn't find in the end.   For dinner Mike BBQ'd steak as he froze in the cold with a broken BBQ.
