During our morning and day at Epcot, we toured some of our favorite attractions (most of which involve boats apparently):

Living with the Land
Since our morning had started later, we were still feeling fresh and energetic when we walked through the back door of Epcot to go check-in at BC. We'd used the luggage transfer earlier in the day, and it was nice to just be able to walk right over when it was check-in time.
Finally, like coming home:

I love the lobby of the BC. It has such an airy, summery feel, and it's so beautiful! Then there's that soothing, familiar smell! Can't get enough of it...
We'd made a special room request, asking to be placed in the very same room we'd had last year on our trip, and they were able to fulfill our request!![Title :woohoo: :woohoo:](http://www.wdwinfo.com/images/smilies/woohoo.gif)
Here it is:

It's such a great room, because it's in a corner, so it has windows looking out to stormalong bay, as well as looking directly out to the lagoon.

Here are those side windows:

This room is nice, because there is this long hallway between the sleeping area and the corridor, which makes it quieter than some of the other rooms at the BC:

For us, that is the thing that really makes us appreciate this room. We just sleep better since it is at the end of the hall, not near any housekeeping doors or elevators, and has this long hallway for insulation.
It is room 3565, and it doesn't have a full balcony, just the little Juliet style balcony. For us, it's been sufficient, although the furnishings and wall paper are starting to look a little tired.
Finally, this is our view of the lagoon:

You can lie on the bed and actually see this. Love it at night!
Ok I know most of you are going "Where are the pictures of the food? Isn't this a dining review?" It is, but I just got kind of distracted!![Title :rolleyes1 :rolleyes1](http://www.wdwinfo.com/images/smilies/rolleye11.gif)
I had intended to include Beaches and Cream in this update, but now I'm running out of time, so for now, here is a shot of our sundae:

I won't spoil the update to come later, and I'll let you all guess which sundae this is, but....it was absolutely divine! Yummy yummy!![Title :love: :love:](http://www.wdwinfo.com/images/smilies/love01.gif)
