Breakfast 8:20am Reservation at 1900 Park Fare at The Grand Floridian Resort
*check-in at the restaurant about 8:05; the restaurant is in the lobby building
Follow the itinerary as you choose all day. Take some time to really explore the countries if you have
time by going down the alleys. The Japanese garden is lovely, the Sangria in Morocco is delicious, I love
the shops in Norway, Italy, France, and the UK.
Ride the Friendship Boat from World Showcase back to the other side of the lagoon for fun
DINNER: there is so much good food in EPCOT – enjoy the Festival of the Arts “outdoor kitchens” or
choose a quick service eaterie.
There is a good chance you can walk-up to many table-service restaurants and get a table too. I like a
lot here but some faves with kids are: Via Napoli in Italy for pizza (and more) and Garden Grill in The
Land (with Chip and Dale and Mickey).
9:00pm – FIREWORKS – stake out a place about 8:30 near the lagoon in World Showcase to watch the
show
Ride the Skyliner back to the resort
