Monday - EPCOT !

Here we go again....



Although Monday was a bank holiday in the UK, it isn't a bank holiday over here, so the park was fairly empty which made the whole day so much more enjoyable. Of course there were some queues, but on the whole a far more pleasant day and not so much rushing about. I really liked Epcot - it might be my favorite park I have visited. Not quite so much for Lily here as it is aimed at a slightly older audience, but none the less she enjoyed it just as much.....especially since all the Disney characters were here too and without the crowds - she was in her element. We needed to buy a new autograph book ( this time with photo sleeves in it so she can put photos next to the autographs ) and off we went hunting out the gang...









.....one very excited little girl by then end of the day !!



Another late night - I suppose it is fantastic the parks stay open so late as it means we don't rush about so much, but it does make for a tiring day !

Disney magic ?? Well yes. It isn't cheap by any means, but my word...they do have the formula right. You get what you pay for in life, and it is true of amusement parks too.

Did you know, that in the Orlando Disney area alone, they employ 64,000 people in their 6 parks ?  64,000 people !! Staggering. There are even people employed, to find seats for you in their restaurants ! Once you have ordered, and got your food on a tray....someone is there to find you a seat !!

Tomorrow is our last day in Orlando and we then head off for the beach. Last minute packing ( by Ali of course ! ) and then we hit the sack ready for our last 'parks' day. We are going to a water park tomorrow - Blizzard Beach ( another Disney resort ) It will be a shame to leave Orlando as it has been packed with entertainment, and the house and pool has been so fabulous. But...on the other hand, it will be nice to slow things down a little...
