Disney Post 3 of 6: Epcot

 Sweet pic of Jacen the Photopass photographer got while he was waiting to see Donald Duck.
Goofy and Donald Christmas Decorations made out of bushes!!
After racing to the Character Spot to get great pics with Mickey, Minnie and Pluto (see Character Post), we rode the Nemo ride, looked at the fish and sea creatures, and watched Turtle Talk with Crush.  He didn't like anything scary, so the shark in the Nemo ride was a little traumatic!!!
 
His favorite part of this area, was the play area of course :)
Matching the sea creatures :)
Mommy and Jacen in a shark.  I don't think he knew what we were posing in or he wouldn't have agreed to this right after the Nemo ride and being scared of the shark!!!
Mexican food at Epcot (Mommy's pick of course!!!!)
Gran Fiesta Tour Starring The Three Caballeros boat ride.  He loved it!!!
Boat ride that takes you to different parts of the World Showcase.  We took it because Jacen wanted to ride on boats :)
Model Train in Germany
Exhausted Jacen.  We learned this week, that he still needs his naps even at Disney!!!
Mommy and Jacen :)
Biergarten Restaurant in Germany in the World Showcase.  We had fabulous buffet style German food and fun entertainment.
 
They invited the kids to dance :)  Jacen has on the blue jacket with the red hood.
Jacen is right by the Santa hat in this one.  They were doing some kind of follow the leader thing :)
In German tradition all the kids got a "golden coin".  He was very excited!!
After the fabulous dinner, we went to the Candlelight Processional where a phenomenal choir sang Christmas songs and Gary Sinise read the Christmas story from the Bible. 
 
 
Video of the choir singing!!
