Disney Day 5 (our last day)

On the last day of our trip, I ran a 5K at Epcot (the official name of the race was: The Princess and the Frog Royal Family 5K). I drove over to Epcot at 6:00 am (part of me wanted to sleep in and skip the race).

The race was really cool. A lot of people dressed up (like princesses) and all the characters were along the race course.

I only stopped one time to take a picture:

I stayed at Epcot and waiting on Jason and the girls to meet me. They were so excited to see me and Claudia wore my finishing metal the whole day. (The sign says Friday, but it was really Saturday – Jason made it cause I forgot).

Marley was really excited about tasting Cokes from around the world, it ended up being her favorite part of the day.

We kind of stalked Mary Poppins! The girls really wanted to meet her and this was the only park she was at during our visit. We found out what time she would be out and we waited with a sign that said “Mary Poppins”!

We loved Epcot. We rode the new Soaring ride twice and it was awesome! The weather was perfect and we wished we had two days to spend exploring the park. Perfect day to end our vacation!

We rode the boat from the Magic Kingdom to the camp ground for our 9:30 dinner show – The Hoop-Dee-Doo Revue. It was a very cold boat ride!
