Disney HennaPer Cammy’s request, here is The Epcot Story.  (There’s not much to it, just me being silly!)

Hubby, bro-in-law, and myself decided to spend the day wandering around while my parents-in-law stayed at the hotel with my daughter and did fun stuff there.  The day was hot.  Very, very hot (and mind you it’s only MAY in Orlando!). 

If you aren’t familiar with Epcot Center, it’s somewhat of an “educational” experience in that the park is dedicated to cultural and technological innovation (as described by wikipedia). The World Showcase features pavilions that represent 11 different countries. 

We started in Mexico and had some lunch.  After fueling up, we kept making our way around from country to country.    By the time we reached Morocco (more than halfway through the showcase), we were thirsty!  You know that “I’m hot and sweaty and have been walking a lot, please-give-me-something-cool-to-drink kind of thirsty?

Help! Platypus!I’m baaaaack!  And boy did I learn A LOT while I was gone.  Here’s a run-down of all my Disneyworld epiphanies (in no particular order)!

1.  I love spray-able sunscreen.  It is the best stuff ever and I will never ever squeeze another bottle of sunscreen again!

2.  I was able to walk forever and not get tired.  We went to at least one park everyday and I had no trouble with the constant movement, in fact I enjoyed it.  Very cool!

3.  I need to find better strategies for eating healthy on vacation.  Around the 2nd day I started making some minor bad food choices.  By the time we left, I was making MAJORLY bad food choices.  I’m not gonna freak out over it, just going to get back on the horse and keep going from where I left off.  Although I really find it interesting just how easy it was for me to say “screw it” and eat bad.  It doesn’t seem like it should be that easy.
