Our Happily Ever After...

Welcome to Epcot... What a beautiful day!

Wow... Look at all the countries!

Planning for the day...

Meeting Captain Hook and his first mate...

Of course we had to meet Mickey one last time

Our last photo as a group... We don't want to leave!

We don't want to say goodbye!

To the top off our amazing trip, we ended it with an awesome day in Disney’s Epcot. The first thing we noticed was the gigantic golf ball placed in the center of the park- It was actually bigger than we all thought. In small groups we explored the rides first- some went on a Mission: Space, others participated in Test Track. We felt so awesome and special every time we got a fast pass and skipped lines (which were up to 120 minute waits). The people were jealous. Due to the fact that the park was busy, we couldn’t ride Soarin' together, but once more fast passes helped us to see it in small groups. 

After trying every ride we all started an expedition into strange foreign countries: Germany, Norway, Mexico, China, Japan, France, Italy, United Kingdom, Morocco, Canada, and the United States of America. Some exchange students felt at home in their country and showed others their native home. It was a pretty good day for everyone to say goodbye.

At the end of the day, we all stayed at the park and watched a really nice fireworks show. There was a globe with an LED screen covering all the continents which showed different pictures of people and landscapes. It was a wonderful way to end our time together and we enjoyed every minute.

We wanted to hold on to the day, so we stayed up as late as we could signing shirts and notebooks and talking about the trip and going home....

Thanks everyone for making the trip so special and thanks to all who made it happen!

See you again we hope, so: Until next time!
