Disney World: DayTen, part 2 - Going to Epcot

We took the monorail to Magic Kingdom and then switched monorails, getting on the one that would take us to Epcot. 
Maddy wanted to stand "like a grown-up".




There was a really nice family on the monorail that struck up a conversation with us. They go to Disney a few times a year so he was telling us a lot of the things he has learned over the years. 
They do major pin trading. 
And before we left he handed Maddy a pin and told her he didn't need a trade, he just wanted to give it to her. 
It was so nice. 
I didn't realize until afterward that I forgot to write his name down and didn't get a picture of her with them... (well one of the teenage daughters is behind her) so I don't remember their names. But it was such a nice thing. And she was so happy. 



We arrived at Epcot about 12/12:30. 
It wasn't nearly as cold today so that was nice.
We knew we wanted to go straight for World showcase again, this time starting on the Mexico side. 
Abi was itching to do some more Agent P adventures!
We saw this stroller along the way. Amazing!


As we were walking past this area Let it Go was playing and the water would shoot up occasionally  (you can kind of see it in the pictures) and Abi just started dancing around and singing really loud and being extremely dramatic with her arms pretending to be Elsa and that she was controlling the water. 
Abi is not usually our demonstrative one in public so this was such an awesome moment. 



We picked up her Agent P phone. 


But before we could start her mission we had to make a short stop to meet Duffy Bear. 
For whatever reason, on this trip he had become her new favorite Disney character. 
We watched the Duffy bedtime cartoons almost every night in our room and she couldn't wait to meet him. 


I see him!


There is going to be a major overload of pictures here and they may be a little out of order. 
But this was one of our favorite meets of the entire trip so I took a ton of pictures and so did the photopass photographer. 
Hello hugs!







Duffy got really excited about his special page in their autograph books and had to show everyone in line. 


The girls thought this was great!



Duffy and the photographer had an awesome relationship. 
I mean, he doesn't even talk and the interaction between him and the photographer had everyone laughing. 









I just love how happy my kids were. 






More hugs!





After meeting Duffy we went to Mexico to start the mission. 


Once again it was so much fun to see all the special things that showed up as we made our way around the pavilion. 



I spy Perry!



After Mexico's mission was accomplished, we went to Norway. 
The girls wanted to do some pin trading and saw this cast member standing by this umbrella so they ran up to him to trade.


We took a short break for a snack and some sodas. 
I had heard so much about Norway's school bread so we decided we had to try it. 
It did not disapoint. It is SO good. 


Afterward we were trying to find a cast member for the agent p adventure because with the construction in Norway they had to change up a few things.
We finally found out it was the same guy we had traded pins with. Haha.
So we went back over to him and got going on the mission.
My favorite part-
When the waterfall stopped and we saw the sword behind it!


When her mission was complete we had her return her phone. 
There is always a special place you have to go put it. 
Fun til the very end!


We went to China next because we still needed to meet Mulan!


She was taking a break when we got there so we decided just to go ahead and get in the line and wait her out and be the first in line when she came back.
The cast member told us she needed to go feed Mushu. 
We took some bathroom breaks and drank our sodas from Norway. 

Finally, she was walking toward us. 







As she was signing their books, Maddy asked her, 
"What ELSE were you doing besides feeding Mushu? Because you took SO long!"
That got a good laugh out of everyone. 
She said he just takes a long time to feed. 




They also told her that their grandparents live in Hong Kong. 






She was very sweet.





After meeting her we went to get the passports signed. 
The girl here was so cute and drew little panda bears in their passports as well. 









We had a great time in China!
