EPCOT was a day for great food, long walks, and long lines. Between making it to our dining reservations on time, the distance between activities, and the lines, it didn't seem like we were able to do as much today.
We did ride Soarin', Living with the Land, The Seas with Nemo and Friends (literally walking onto that ride), and Turtle Talk with Crush before lunch.
Akershus Royal Banquet Hall: We had reservations for a Princess lunch at Akershus. Not only was the food delicious, but having the chance to meet, talk to and take pictures with Belle, Ariel, Alice, Cinderella, and Snow White was ideal for our girls.
Their souvenir cups had glowing Ariel's on the straws:
Getting to see Ariel again was a dream come true:
Alice dropped by from Wonderland. Normally Alice is not my favorite of the Disney leading ladies, however, she is a delight in person. When she first walked up she said (in a perfect British accent), "Oh, we have a set of Tweedles. Now tell me, who is Tweedledee and who is Tweedledum?" When we just looked at her she asked who is older. I pointed to Ella and she said, "Then that makes you (pointing to Ella) Tweedledee and you (pointing to Emma) Tweedledum. Now don't take offense, that's just the way it works." I then told her Ella wasn't older by much as they were born in the same minute. She instantly replied while looking at Emma, "What did you do, kick her out?" We all laughed so hard!

Delicious Dessert:
After lunch, we rode several more rides (Maelstrom, Gran Fiesta Tour, Test Track, etc.) and stopped to watch the fountain.
After Spaceship Earth, our girls played a little in the interactive area at the exit.
Biergarten Restaurant: We had dinner reservations at Biergarten. The food was delicious, as always. Our girls loved dancing to the music, occasionally dropping back by our table for a bite or two of dinner. It's a good thing our table was right next to the dance floor.
The girls at sunset:
Unfortunately, Ella started having stomach cramps in the late afternoon and evening. We went over to the Kindercot station in Canada to pass the time until Illuminations began, but Ella was too uncomfortable to stay there. So, I took her back to the stroller where she got sick. We quickly decided to skip the fireworks and head back to the resort. Looking back on it, we actually were able to ride and do quite a lot today.
A tepid bath and some air conditioning perked her back up. I think she must have gotten dehydrated and overheated. We hope she feels much better for our last day at Disney World tomorrow.
Grandy and Grammie stayed and enjoyed Illuminations.
