Once we arrived at Epcot, we strolled through Gateway Gifts while on our way to Guest Services so that we could reenroll for Steve's Disability Access Pass (DAS). While at Guest Services, we signed up for a return time to Soarin'. I also ordered the popcorn bucket so that I could get a return time to pick it up. With a little bit of time to kill before we could complete either task, we headed over to the Land. We went on the Living with the Land ride first, enjoying the slow moving ride through the greenhouse. It was then time for us to get in line at Soarin', where we saw the Soarin' over California version of the ride (I still like the world version better, as the transitions between scenes help with the illusion, and I don't like that the California version ends at a Disneyland decorated or Christmas).

After our rides, we headed across the park to the Imagination Station to pick up our popcorn bucket. By this point we were pretty hungry, so we were searching for something to eat. We finally settled on eating lunch at the Royal Eagle Smokehouse at the American pavilion. This was my first time here, and I opted for a cheeseburger that came on a garlic toast bun, which resulted in one of the better burgers that I've had at a quick service restaurant in the parks. Just wish it had bacon! After eating we headed over to the restroom to clean up Steven, who had been carrying a funk with him since using the restroom at our house this morning before departure, likely due to a lack of proper clean-up when he was done. So frustrating...

Speaking of frustrating - while we were waiting at the restrooms I got a notice stating that Remy's Ratatouille Adventure was temporarily closed and that I needed to select a new ride to utilize Steve's DAS pass. While dealing with this issue, Jayden asked me how it was going with the queue, and while she meant the Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind virtual queue that we had discussed trying for at 1:00pm during lunch, I misunderstood and thought she was talking about the DAS and ended up completely missing any opportunity for the virtual queue. Sometimes I'm such a dumba... well, you get the point.

With the Guardians out the equation, we continued our trek around the World Showcase. We made a stop at the Tangierine Café: Flavors of the Medina in the Morocco pavilion so that Grandma Terry and Jay (and of course, Steve, as he would never say no to food!) could sample the Chocolate Cake with Pomegranate Mousse and Pomegranate Whipped Cream. Continuing our walk, we next stopped at the France pavilion to show off Les Halles Boulangerie-Patisserie to Grandma Terry. We decided to sample a few treats, including a baguette along with a macaron lime raspberry for Jayden, a framboise for me to try, and a bicuit chocolat (chocolate chip cookie) for Steve, although we all shared and tasted things.

We decided that we were pretty much done at Epcot for the day, so we wrapped out walk around the World Showcase. We did stop at the Expression Section paint-by-numbers, which is located along one of the walkways from the Imagination Pavilion to World Showcase. Jayden wanted to participate in doing her part to contribute to the art display. Once she finished up with the paint she was given, we headed out to wrap up our day at Disney's Magic Kingdom!

As is tradition, we did make a stop at Chili's for dinner before completing the drive home. Until next time!
