Day 3: Epcot

Emily's dance wasn't until later that afternoon, so were able to make our breakfast meal at Akershus that morning.  We have eaten here every Disney visit and it's a great place to see all the princesses (and only use 1 dining credit).  We love the breakfast there!  We had time to be one of the first in line to see the characters.  Last time we saw the characters, Ella was asleep in her stroller (our first time we went when she was almost 2).  We also were able to ride our favorite ride:  Soarin, Nemo and friends ride, and Turtle Talk with Crush.  We had never done the Turtle Talk with Crush before and it was a lot of fun!  We took our time looking at all fish/aquarium this time.

 Look at Emily smiling with the Snow White.  :)

 Emily and I left before the others to get ready for her competition since we had to get to the Dolphin, get ready, etc.  She enjoyed going through some of the countries of the world.  We had to go this route to get to the water taxi to head to the Dolphin.  This day was the small group "What Makes You Beautiful" competition.  They did very well at Nationals and received 5 Stars!  They ended up 5th overall in the small group Junior Intermediate level.  Very proud of these girls this year!!!  They won 1st or 2nd overall in most of the regional competitions, but getting 5th at Nationals was wonderful!!!
