3/23/23: Our Second Day at EPCOT

Our third “Disney Day” was our return trip to EPCOT. Originally we were supposed to have a breakfast at Topolino’s Terrace (over at Disney’s Riviera Resort) but the events of the night before led to us completely scrapping that plan. (Still working on that post). Instead, we decided to sleep in some. When we wokeContinue reading “3/23/23: Our Second Day at EPCOT”
