Epcot

Most kids aren't into Epcot. It's kind of the Carousel of Progress of the four Disney parks. It's old. It's dated. They show Captain EO (yes, the 1980s Michael Jackson flic) like it's a headliner. But, there's a charm to Epcot too.

Grant loves Epcot. He likes it because he can ride a few of the big rides and because Mulan lives there. Last year, Grace was a tad bit shy when we stumbled upon Mulan while touring "China," so Grant got all the love, including a big kiss right on the forehead. His whole goal in going back to Disney was to meet back up with Mulan. As fate would have it, our little Miss Grace is now a social butterfly (she met Santa today at the mall and was all smiles--very different from year #1). She ran to Mulan, hugged her, talked to her and Grant had to play second fiddle. Mulan was exceptionally gracious; she asked the kids to wait for her, and then, she spent a very long time with just with them down at the pond. I always knew I liked that Mulan girl; there's nothing foo-foo about her.

She asked Grant if she could give him another kiss, but he wasn't fooled. He knew he wasn't the favorite any longer, so he hid behind our legs, only later to break down into sobs that he had missed his big chance.


Here are some Epcot pics.
