No this isn't shuffleboard for preschoolers - they are building cities at Epcot using alternative energy sources (can't you tell?)...
Epcot had the coolest topiaries throughout the park of every Disney character and movie scene you can think of - here we are in front of the broomsticks from the Sorcerer's Apprentice...
The kids were excited to find the Nemo ride after all of that other educational Epcot stuff...
And we had lunch with a few of Alli's princess friends in Norway. We met Belle, Cinderella, Ariel, Mary Poppins (is she really a princess??), and Alli's newly declared favorite - Snow White
(Jay was dissappointed that Ariel was not wearing her bikini, I guess a mermaid tail is just too difficult to walk around in)
Snow White marveled at how much Alli looked just like her and asked if she could put pictures of Alli on her own bedroom walls (since Snow White is decorating Alli's bedroom after all)
Snow White blew her twin princess a kiss before leaving. After which Alli told me that she wanted to change her name to Snow White.
And last but not least - "Mary who, Mom?"
We traveled through 5 of the 10 countries in the Epcot World Showcase today. The kids enjoyed the new Kidcot program at Epcot. They each received a blank mask at our first stop - and there is a stamp and marker station setup in each country. They get a stamp from each country, and get to add a little more color to your their decorations at each stop.
The masks are still works-in-progress I guess...
And last but not least, we finished the day by visiting the "Star Wars Kingdom" as Tyler calls it - also known at Disney's Hollywood Studios.
During the Jedi Training Academy show, Tyler was one of the kids chosen from the audience to become a jedi padawan..
He had to put on his jedi cloak, and practice a few jedi moves with his lightsaber...
before Darth Vader and a couple of his stormtroopers showed up and challeneged each individual padawan to a duel (Yes, Tyler fought Darth Vader one-on-one!)
But we only got a video of the duel, no pictures. So you'll have to wait until I get back home to see that action...
Tyler and his official Jedi Padawan certificate
Jay and the kids take to Endor on their speeder
And to cool off after a long day in the sun, you can stand in front of the AT-AT walker and let it shoot water at you through it's missle launchers
As you can imagine, the Star Wars experience is on the top of our list so far.

By the way, Alli and Tyler were BOTH able to ride the Star Wars ride today - nobody even stopped us to measure heights. I have a feeling that this is a ride that we will be visiting daily this week.
That's just a sampling of the 400+ pictures that I have taken so far.
I will upload more later in the week as time and internet connections permit.
