Today I am sharing Part Three of our Disney Album (from our trip last May). You can see Part One
here, and Part Two
here. Part Three covers Day 5 of our vacation: our day at Epcot!
This album has certainly been a labor of love, but I am SO enjoying working on it here and there. Documenting a vacation is like reliving it all over again--- that is what I hope to capture when we look through this album!
Our day in Epcot began with a Princess Breakfast at the Akerhaus in Norway. We got to see Belle before being seating-- it was so precious (yet note Jonah's face--- hilarious!)
I used a Project Life Design G page for when we met Belle. The backside of the page included the rest of the princess Breakfast.
We received a "free" photo with Belle at the breakfast (ha! is anything free at Disney?). I included the photo and also trimmed the "Once Upon a Time", and the outside scene, and the Akerhaus logo from the folder that held the photo.
It was on to the World Showcase from here--- we just love Epcot! The photo of Jordan in Japan was one of my favorites. I used various colored Thickers to spell EPCOT-- with a globe sticker by Amy Tangerine as the "O". Perfect!
It rained and we were unprepared except for a small umbrella--- so we had to buy ponchos. And of course it stopped as soon as they were purchased. Classic. (but we would need them on and off all day so all was good). Of course had to include the receipt for the unexpected poncho purchase (hmmmph).
This next spread shares photos from Japan, USA, Italy and France in the World Showcase.
We had the kids silhouettes done in France but the funniest guy--- we had a blast and it was a nice break and chance to sit down. By far my favorite souvenir of the trip (and inexpensive!)
Next we visited the UK! We met a few characters and listened to a Beatles band :) Next up: meeting Mickey!
This was one of my favorite memories of the trip. After I snapped this photo of Jordan next in line to meet Mickey, she turned around and looked at me and said "her tummy was tickling her because she was about to hug Mickey!" Precious!!!
Meeting Mickey/Minnie/Pluto got it's own spread. Pluto was a riot when he saw that Jordan brought in her toy Pluto. Major fist pumps by Pluto.... loved that he spent so much time with the kids.
Side note: after we left meeting the characters we came outside and discovered one poncho and stroller was stolen!!! (yes we had 2 umbrella strollers for the kids so they could sit when they were tired--- allowed us to have extra long days). Can you believe that!? Jonah also had a toy in the stroller that was taken. He was devastated. We looked around and found his stroller dumped along benches a short distance away but the toy and poncho were gone. I guess there are still thieves in "the happiest place on earth".
We had dinner reservations right after this happened -- so I included the kids menu from that night along with some journaling about the story. And about how Todd ran from Mexico (where dinner was) to Japan to repurchase Jonah's toy. What a dad.
