Jane, Brandon, Goofy, me, and Evan sharing a moment... Goofy was "goofy" as he came around, even to the point of getting "stuck" in a neighboring high chair. The boys laughed after getting the cue from us that they could - they were just so intent on watching everything that he did!
Dale was a ton of fun, too, giving noogies on heads, tickling ears, etc. Brandon and Evan didn't really know what to think of him. I love this picture below because the expression on Evan's face is priceless. :)

Here is a picture of the whole fam with Minnie, which also just cracks me up. Trying to get both of the boys to look at the camera, let alone smile, in a situation like the character breakfast is hysterical. Of course, Minnie looks perfect!
The last character to come around to meet with us was Chip. The boys were excited to give hugs and high fives to Chip and all of the characters they met this week. Here you see Evan and Brandon sharing a hug with him.
After leaving Cape May Cafe, we spent the rest of the day at EPCOT. We all had a great time there! We didn't get a ton of pictures, though, because so many of the EPCOT attractions are inside.
We started the afternoon at The Seas with Nemo and Friends, which got us off to a fantastic start. There is a pretty calm ride through the reef as we try to find Nemo, who is hiding from his father, Dori, and some of the other characters from the film. At the end, Disney actually made it look like the Nemo characters were swimming in the real aquarium tank!
After getting off of the Finding Nemo ride, we went to a show called "Turtle Talk with Crush," an interactive show where people got to ask questions of Crush the turtle from "Finding Nemo." The coolest part of that show was that it was live animation. It looked like Crush was actually swimming across our "window to the sea" and having a conversation with us. The actor who give him his voice was wonderful, throwing in plenty of "dudes" and a great Australian accent, just like the movie! It was my favorite part of EPCOT.
From there, we hit attractions at The Land, including a boat ride about farming that Brandon, Evan, and I took twice, The World of Energy (for a 45 minute naptime show), and the Journey Into Imagination. I was so excited to see that Figment was a major part of his show again because I had heard he was taken out for a while and he was one of my favorites as a kid! Below is a picture of the boys playing in Imagination after Figment's ride.
Outside of Journey Into Imagination, there is he leaping water fountain, which the boys enjoyed. Steve talked them into trying to catch the water (see below), but they weren't as excited about getting soaked when they did!
After getting through most of the attractions in Future World, we all made a short trip to see some of the countries on the other side of the pond. At that point, the boys were on a serious hunt for fun, which turned into playing with phones and fountains. :)

At this point, most of us were spent, so we headed home for the day and ordered in pizza for dinner. We vegged out in front of the t.v. and watched "Finding Nemo" because the boys were really concerned about figuring out the name of the shark - it is Bruce. :)
