Since both Grandma Terry and I had the day off today, we decided
it would be a good opportunity to take Steven to Walt Disney World
to "see Mickey Mouse" as he likes to do. Our first stop today was at
Disney Springs to pick up the latest PassHolder magnet at Disney's
Wonderful World of Memories. We made our way through World of
Disney, Disney's Days of Christmas, and The LEGO Store before
heading over to grab a bite to eat at Chicken Guy! |

After eating we made our way to our destination for the day,
Epcot! After picking up Steve's wheelchair and signing him up for
the Disability Access Service (DAS) pass we headed to the Creations
Shop to get out of the rain that had begun to fall. Once the rain
finally began to let up we made our way over to World Celebration to
get on Journey Into Imagination With Figment. Although not
anyone's favorite ride, it isn't as bad as some people (ahem - Tara
- ahem) claim. Upon exiting the ride we were greeted by a couple of
character sightings. Up first was Joy from Inside Out, followed by
Vanellope von Schweetz from Wreck-It Ralph. We also made a quick
stop at the Disney & Pixar Short Film Festival building for some
pictures with Mickey Mouse himself! We left World Celebration to
head to the World Showcase, starting off in Canada and making our
way around to Mexico. Our main stop along the way was in France,
where we took a turn on Remy's Ratatouille Adventure. After
taking a spin through Gusteau's kitchen we finished our walk through
the countries, stopping at a stand outside of The American Adventure
to buy (of all things) a Mary Poppins tank-top for Tara.
At this point we had been on all of the rides that we could that
didn't require a much longer wait. It was getting late enough in the
day that we decided to go ahead and head out for the day.
We did make one last stop on the way home, once again at Chili's
in Champions Gate, which seems to be our routine at this point!
Although the weather wasn't always cooperative, it was a great day
spent with Mom and Steve! |
