Today we had an amazing time at Disney Epcot.

And the weather couldn't have been better.

Here's a full panorama shot (click to see full-screen).

The various international zones were amazing including Japan, Germany, Norway, and so many more. Italy is pictured below.

We also happened to be there during the festival of the arts, so there was a ton of amazing art stuff to see.

One of the coolest trains sets I've ever seen.

Me, rocking my vintage Steemit shirt inside a Chinese temple recreation.

Someone recommended the Avocado margarita, and I must say, it was amazing! A bit pricey at $15, but still really good and worth trying at last once. The chili powder dipped glass added something special.

We saw some amazing chalk art.

And we got to try sodas from around the world.

The kids (for the most part) did really well, though we did have to cary the girls around here and there.

Aria's starting to get into taking her own selfies. She's only 6, so that's a little concerning.

If you don't have an extra battery for your phone like this, there's no way your phone will last the day, especially if you're using the app throughout the day to find your way around or schedule your FastPass+ choices to avoid the long lines.

The kids loved seeing the marine life as part of the Sea adventure area.

Remember how I got stung by a sting ray while we visited California? Well, here's what that stinger looks like.

It's hard to stay mad at an animal with such a big smile though.

The full aquarium tank was quite impressive.

IMG_9164.jpg

For dinner we had an amazing German buffet meal where all of us stuffed ourselves silly.

Seems my son is taking selfie lessons from Aria.

Have you heard of Banana for scale? Well I went with "child's head for scale" to show how big this liter of beer was.

IMG_9171.jpg

The dinner show was great as well.

IMG_9172.jpg

The famous fireworks show at the end of the day didn't disappoint us either.

It was an amazing day with an amazing family. I'm so very thankful to have the opportunity to experience something like this and enjoy it with the people I love most. I hope you get to visit some day as well. It was a wonderful time.

I also took a few short videos on my phone which I put together in a video.

Awesome post!! You are blessed with an adorable family. About the shirt, do you even like the new steemit logo? Or is it just a simple shirt with no statement?

Wow... Such a detailed expedition pictures. So much to learn from you Sir. All these is a very good and exemplary display of how much of a good husband to a wife and father to the kids you are. Look at the joy in the face of everyone. Thanks for sharing your worthwhile leadership with this great family. You inspire me a lot.

Your detailed account on this fun filled trip is making me think of also going on a vacation and having so much fun as well.

Aria is also just growing to become the woman that she is, here in Nigeria, girls of ages 4-5years already know how the camera rolls and will just pick your phone at will and start taking selfies. Look at your son's face here, lol, very funny. But that's the way most of them pose in front of the lenses. Please allow our Aria to enjoy her seldom moments.

Thanks for the amazing backup power bank you have to charge your phone and keep it on so you can give is this memories.

Amazing post Sir. Thanks for sharing this beautiful experience.

Welcome to the Sunshine State. We are glad to have you hear (and your money too LOL).

Enjoy your stay. I hope the weather holds true for you. It was an absolutely fabulous day in Central Florida here. The sun was shining and the temperature ideal.

The parks are wonderful....a dream for all kids. I know how special it was when my parents took me. It is heart-warming to see your family there.

If you get a chance, be sure to head down International Drive...there are some fun things down there also (plus lots of good places to eat).
