Experimental Prototype Community Of Tomorrow

Wednesday started out as a slow day as well. Again, I had a lot of reading to do, but I did finish HP book 6 that morning, and I had well over 24 hrs to finish the final Harry Potter before the premiere!! But by about 4 that afternoon, we were ready to head to EPCOT!

It was great to see that familiar "golf ball" and Hannah was very excited to learn it was actually a ride--and it quickly became one of her favorite attractions!!

Whitney, Caleb, and I also rode Mission Space, which is one of Caleb's favorites! We started getting a little bored in line, so decided to download another handy little iPhone app--this one for finding Hidden Mickeys!! We've been obsessed ever since, pulling on the phone for clues in every line!

After that, we all headed over to the World Showcase to search for Hidden Mickeys around the world!
Of course, the shopping and food around the world showcase is fantastic as well! Caleb really wanted some orange chicken from China, and Daddy and I had some brats in Germany!!

Whitney and I found the coolest necklaces in Africa! These beads are made of recycled Disney brochures, sent to Uganda where women make this awesome jewelry. The coolest thing is that Disney gives these women 100% of the profit! The different colors of beads are said to represent different things. I bought a multicolored bracelet that represents all the Disney characters, and Whitney bought a white necklace which represents the dream of going to Disney World.

The World Showcase also offers tons of fantastic photo-ops! Needless to say, the rest of the crew was a little bored while Whit and I spent so much time perusing the African paper beads, so they were able to get some great shots!

As you can see, the kids enjoyed the shopping too! Hannah loved China, where she got a baby panda bear and a Chinese parasol! The lady that checked her out even personalized the parasol by writing Hannah's name in Chinese! She was thrilled! Caleb also looks pretty snazzy in his new Disney aviator sun glasses--Studly!

We were pretty worn out after staying till almost closing, but it really was a great day!
