Today I'm going to Epcot with my daughter and granddaughter. We all own annual passes for Florida residents. They were expensive enough that we go to the parks often to justify the absurd expense. I favor Animal Kingdom, but daughter and granddaughter like Epcot. I happily shuffle along with the younger ones. Well, usually behind them. They look back occasionally to make sure I'm still there, ha. Don't worry, I won't let them out of my sight.
Today we're eating lunch in Japan. Granddaughter E is leaving soon for London, and I'm happy to spend this time with her. I think today I'll try a vegetarian sushi roll. Why not?
Last week grandson N was not in school yet, so we all went to Animal Kingdom. The best things about Animal Kingdom are all the shaded areas and animals. I will always be a sucker for the Safari bus ride. Here are some pics of Animal Kingdom.

I have never been to Animal Kingdom. I think it opened after I last went to Disney (which must have been in the mid-'90s?). I went to Epcot back when it opened, in 1984 or so, and haven't been since. I imagine it's different now. :)
ReplyDeleteThe time to go to Epcot is in the early fall when they have the Food and Wine festival. Except that it is also hurricane season. I did go on a ride there called Soaring that I'd never been on before. That was fun.
Delete¡Wow! The elephants and the baobab tree. Visions of The Little Prince .... in Florida.
ReplyDeleteHappy times with daughter and grandchildren!
Many thanks.
DeleteI like the birds best especially that first colorful one! Glad you are enjoying time with the kids before school starts up...
ReplyDeleteThere were many more birds.
DeleteAlthough I would never consider living in Florida, I am very jealous of you having resident Disney passes. I am not a thrill ride person and Animal Kingdom has long been my favorite park for the very reasons you mention. Also, the zebra dome desserts at the Boma restaurant are heavenly.
ReplyDeleteHmmm, I think I may need to try those desserts next time!
DeleteWow. Been a few years since I've been to a like animal park. What is that tree (?) behind the elephants?
ReplyDeletebaobab tree
DeleteSome great animals and birds there. I think I would also prefer Animal Kingdom to Epcot (having just googled Epcot).
ReplyDeleteI think you would, too.
DeleteI absolutely love the tree with the elephants.
ReplyDeleteJust checking in to see how you are doing, Collette? The year is flying by! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm good, Ellen. Thanks for checking.
