Paul wanted to watch the Ohio State-Michigan football game on our second full day in Florida. While I too would normally be glued to the TV during the big game, that's not the case when Epcot is so nearby! Atticus stayed with Paul, but Edith and I headed to the park for a few hours there on our own. We fit in several of the major attractions, including Frozen Ever After and Soarin', met Elsa, Anna and Belle and had a delectable meal (including Anna's Birthday Cupcake -- a rich chocolate cupcake -- in World Showcase's Norway and chocolate mousse in France) before meeting up with the boys at Disney Springs for supper.
We spent more than 12 hours at Epcot as a family a few days later, doing nearly all of the attractions except the movies. We rode Soarin' twice, and by the end of the last ride even Atticus said the giant movie/ride in which you seem to be flying above notable locales around the world was "scary fun." The small Gran Fiesta boat ride at the Mexico pavilion ended up being one of the favorite rides throughout the entire trip (and Atticus sang the Three Caballeros song for days, if not weeks after), along with a "magic paintbrush" attraction at Innoventions toward the front of the park. We picked up the few attractions we missed a few days later, and repeated all of our favorites.

We also ate around the world at World Showcase, picking up a meal or snacks in Mexico, Norway, China, Germany, Japan, Morocco, France and Canada. Thank you, free meal plan! After a day at Hollywood Studios, we even walked to Epcot for supper.

While Magic Kingdom is my favorite Disney park, Epcot is not far behind -- even with a 3- and 6-year old!
