Around the world in only two days?????

The Epcot center's world showcase had to be one of our favorite stops! We spent two days there and traveled through 11 different countries. If my memory serves me correctly the countries were Mexico, France, Norway, China, Italy, Japan, United Kingdom, America, Canada, Germany, and one other that I can't remember.

The kids got masks that they decorated at their first country and little token trinkets to attach to the mask at every other stop. After collecting all eleven trinkets they were 'awarded' with a Travel Poster from Goofy! Jessica had each country stamp their Disney World Showcase stamp in her autograph book along with a phrase or quote written in their native language. It was a fun way for all the kids to get into traveling all over the place that day with Mom and Dad! We logged over seven miles of walking while at Epcot Center and that was only after half a days worth of sightseeing!!!!

The authentic food, costumes, and decor were all unique to each separate country that we visited. China and Japan were our favorites, but Mexico reminded us of El Paso and Germany (because of the Schloemer heritage) made for a fun way for us to share a little of the culture with the kids. We ate everything from Sushi to Bratwurst and sauerkraut to Lo Mein and Fish and Chips! It was a great way to spend two days of our trip!
