Disney World - Day One

This year we decided to take our family trip earlier in the year instead of Spring Break. We chose Disney World because we had not been before, and Jonathan had become a big Star Wars fan. He asked for money for Christmas and managed to save all of it just for this trip. Julia was more interested in going to EPCOT and the Harry Potter worlds at Universal Studios. We took the kids out of school for the trip in hopes that the crowds would be a little less than over holiday breaks.

Our first day we visited EPCOT. All of us enjoyed walking around the park and visiting the different countries. It was fun to see the different areas, and the kids had fun trying on hats at the different gift shops. We didn't get on very many rides. The Ratatouille ride was fun. Since we had a late start (we arrived late the previous night), we ended up closing down the park at 9 p.m. We were lucky enough to find the Chevrolet Test Track Ride at the end of the day, because the line kept getting shorter and shorter. We are able to ride it three times in a row before leaving. It was our favorite ride because the car brought you up to about 65 miles per hour around the final section of the race track.
