A lazy start to Day 10 with another trip to Typhoon Lagoon where we decided to spend most of the day, before heading to Epcot for late afternoon/ evening.

Just after arriving at Epcot, the Heaven's opened! This was the first and only rain we saw during our holiday... if nothing else, it made for some interesting reflections!

We headed to 'Journey into Imagination' which is a slow ride through the 'Imagination Institute' with Figment the dragon as a tour guide! We then entered the sensory labs where we were able to explore activities relating to the senses. It was quite enjoyable and a good way of avoiding the rain for a little while! 20150407-IMG_178920150407-IMG_1789 DSCF9935DSCF9935 DSCF9936DSCF9936 DSCF9942DSCF9942 DSCF9944DSCF9944 DSCF9945DSCF9945

This fountain at Epcot is spectacular, it's called the 'Fountain of Nations' and every fifteen minutes, the fountain showcases water ballets. During the ballets, over two hundred shooters propel over fifty gallons of water up to one hundred and fifty feet in the air and it sounds like a fireworks display. At night it is illuminated with thousands of lights and was quite hypnotic to watch! See here for a video!  DSCF9980DSCF9980

At last, the sun came out!

...before finding a spot to view the spectacular Epcot illuminations (which I really wasn't able to do justice to with these photos!) DSCF0022DSCF0022 DSCF0099DSCF0099 DSCF0101DSCF0101 DSCF0148DSCF0148 DSCF0159DSCF0159 DSCF0162DSCF0162 DSCF0167DSCF0167 DSCF0171DSCF0171
