Day two. The British Americans request more vegetables.

Today was a day at epcot and magic kingdom. We started out by finding that there are indeed buses to epcot, but if they are full, they might skip your stop. Note to self: walk one bus stop over to avoid this again!

We started by doing activities in the "land" area to get acquainted with the greenhouses and stay close to them until we had our tour. We really liked the little boat ride that takes you through the greenhouses.





We had a great tour of the greenhouses with Jenna. She answered all of our questions, and took a lot of time to take us behind the seeds. We really recommend this tour. It's only an hour, so it would be great for older kids who want to learn about gardening.




We spent some time doing some rides (soarin' and mission space) and wandering around the international area. The world showcase has turned into one of our favorite areas. We like the surprises here. Yesterday, just as we started eating, the Moroccan band started playing. Today, we met Donald Duck in Mexico, along with a mariachi performance. We've been taking advantage of the photo pass photographers, so our encounter with Donald is on their camera right now.

We had dinner tonight at the garden grill. They use some of the food from the greenhouses for their meals. The table next to us appeared to be scared by the Swiss chard on their plates (and all vegetables). We asked for more! Magically, Swiss chard and broccoli appeared. It seemed they were holding out on the vegetables until you asked for more. Here, we got to interrogate chip and dale about their crocus nibbling in our back yard. They said they would have a word with their cousins. We also got a signed card from all of the characters for our anniversary.



Personally, I really liked farmer Mickey!




Then, Deb finally got her wish. We went over to the magic kingdom, where she got her ears, met Mickey at the town hall, and rode on the teacups. Her camera has pictures of Paul on it, so you'll have to imagine her head in Paul's place.



We shopped a little, learned that it's a small world after all, and came home just before the electric parade so we could get an earlier night and blog a bit!

Have a magical day!
