What a great trip! Ken and I agreed that this is the best trip we have ever been on. We are planning, economy permitting, that we will make this a yearly thing. I wish we were heading back this weekend. We were so worn out, but it was well worth it.
Here is a pic of our resort, All Star Sports Resort. It was a value resort, but still very nice. Had tons to do there, including several pools, playgrounds, play areas for the kids (and adults), an arcade, a huge restaurant/eatery, and a nice shop. We may try to move up to a moderate resort next time. The rooms will be bigger and the beds go from doubles up to queens. Also, the only other downside to a value resort.....crowds. I heard someone say that all of the All Star resorts were sold out. This in the last week of September, which is supposed to be Disney's slowest time.
Here's our room....RM 7121
Some of the cute towel designs left for us daily...
Our bathroom (done in sports wallpaper)...
Kevin doing his happy dance. If you know my child, he does this dance when words are just not enough to explain his happiness...
Ken and I had been buying Disney stuff for several months to put in a bag and hide in the room as a surprise for Kevin's first trip there. He was so excited...
This is the play area right outside our room. Kevin had a blast climbing on all the X's and O's....
The huge helmets, Coke cups, footballs and surfboards were amazing....
So, we drove half way the day before, which allowed us to arrive at Disney before 3pm. We were all so excited that once we got unpacked, we hit Epcot. We had dinner reservations that night at Teppan Edo in the Japanese section of The World. So, we decided, we would just go there and spend the rest of the day. What a blast! I remember going to Epcot when I was around 13, but I don't remember it being this fun. We started out at Spaceship Earth. The lines were only around 10 minute waits, so it was wonderful.
Kevin was happy we finally get to ride some rides...
Ken and I were happy that we were finally able to get to Disney....
This was one of Kevin's favorite rides, The Seas with Nemo...we rode it 3 times....
This is the aquarium that you get to walk around after your ride on Nemo...
Kevin found some bunnies....they were everywhere in Epcot...
A view across the lake in Epcot to The World....
Kevin's first meal in a restaurant....EVER! We ate at Teppan Edo. It's like a Kanpii type restaurant where they cooked the food at your table. Disney is great on dealing with food allergies. This made our trip even more special (and I didn't have to cook)...
Here's Ken wearing Kevin's chef's hat the restaurant gave him for his birthday. Ken forgot his glasses in the room, so not only was it dark outside, but with the hat he looks like he's had too much to drink....but he didn't...
After dinner, the park was closed, so there were no people around. We were able to walk around The World showcase and enjoy the evening. Here is a shot of the Earth as we were leaving...
