Next year, after you do all the parks, you are going to wonder why you ever listened to the people who "told" you these things about AK and Epcot. You'll see

Goodness! You have sinned against Figment!

No, it is not an all day park at all. It is a 3 day park.

Whoever told you that is wrong, wrong WRONG!

I've been visiting EPCOT since I was a kid (first visit was in April 1987 when I was 11) and it's always been my favorite park. Kids can enjoy it just as much as adults.

Yeah it sucks you didn't visit Epcot but at least you've got something to look forward to on your next trip to WDW. You pretty much get to extend the first time visitor feeling between 2 trips!

Yeah, we're going back next December for 10 days so we're definitely hitting Epcot.

The coolest thing about this trip was the fact that I got to end it as the last person on HM on our last night. We exited the ride at 12:16 or so. I was very happy about that as it is my favorite ride and it ended my trip. Now my wife is hooked on Disney too, so this trip was indeed a blessing.

Great pics looks like you all had a great time! Definatly give Epcot and DAK a closer look next time you won't be disappointed.

Great TR!!!! But no EPCOT!!!!

I can think of at least 4 or 5 things that the kids would have LOVED (Nemo, Soarin', Figment, Spaceship earth, Gran Fiesta Tour, Crush) and also your daughter would have LOVED Test Track (given that she rode Tower).

People told us our kids wouldn't like EPCOT either, but it's one of their favorite parks, and you still get to meet characters, but in their international outfits.

I would definitely make sure you set aside at least 2 days for EPCOT next year. On our first trip we had set aside 2 days there, ended up going 4 and still it wasn't enough.

As far as Animal Kingdom, I'll admit on first impressions it didn't do much for me. But it's REALLY grown on me. Next time make sure you see Nemo and the Flights of Wonder (Bird Show). It's definitely one of the better things at DAK, and people hardly talk about it.

And I'm REALLY having WDW withdrawals now. It's almost been a year since we've been.

Your pictures are great and your kids are too cute! I'm heading to WDW next month and I'm wondering if the humidity will be just as bad... guess I'll find out soon enough.
