Epcot

We started our morning bright and early before the park opened with a Princess breakfast.
The boys were greeted with Belle when they arrived and were both smitten.
They also got to meet Snow White...
And Princess Aurora (aka Sleeping Beauty).
Before joining in a Princess Parade around the restaurant.
They held hands the whole time
After breakfast, Parker started his favorite activity of the whole day... duck spotting.
We then headed out to check out some rides.  We started with Soarin and did a ride swap with Parker (Carter is now tall enough for most all rides).  While dad rode mom took the boys on the Land ride.  Parker loved finding food he knew... bananas were a big hit.  And mom thought this sand snowman was pretty funny.
While we were still waiting for dad, mom and the boys went to the Character Spot.  Parker was pretty excited to see some characters in outfits he recognized.
Mickey
Goofy
Giving Minnie a Kiss
Let me take a moment to comment on how much fun Parker had on this trip.  He smiled and giggled constantly.  He was amazed at everything he saw and everytime we asked if he liked Disney, he woudl respond "YES!".  He basically had a giant grin on 24/7.
Back to our trip... the boys were very into Nemo after the musical so we made sure to check out the Nemo ride and the aquarium.
After a few more rides, we decided to let the boys rest in the stroller while we checked out the World Showcase and snacked our way through lunch.
Moracco
Japan
Watching the drum show in Japan
Watching the Fife and Drum show

Carter joining in the show in Italy
Parker preferred to watch from the sidelines
Dad of course participated
Trains in Germany
Drums in Africa
Delivering Coca-Cola in Africa like a good Atlantan!
Mexico
A better sized Mexican hat
We also met a few characters including Carter's latest obsession... Duffy.  Carter has a small stuffed Duffy at home that he sleeps with every night.
And Mexican Donald.
Giving Donald a hello high-five
And a good-bye fist bump
The boys also played the Phineus and Ferb adventure game and saved Norway from a bike thief.
Then we hit up one last ride before dinner... Test Track.  Carter and mom went first and this was the car he designed (he was very proud of his flowers decals).  
Complete with flower decals
Then Carter and dad took a ride.
Meanwhile Parker checked out some cars (two times each!).
Before we headed back to the Land for dinner at the Garden Grill.
The restaurant rotates around the Land ride and features farmer Mickey and several friends.

After a long day it was time to head home...
Definitely a long but really fun day!
