Nationals - Day 1
Our activities for the day didn't actually start until 2 pm with registration, so Brittany and I decided to use our morning time to visit EPCOT. This was the first time that either of us had ever been to Walt Disney World, so we planned on making the most of our trip. Even though we both felt a little guilty that the boys were still at home in Arizona. Of course with it being Thanksgiving week the park was very crowded and lines were very long. Brittany didn't get to ride on Test Track because the wait was 90 minutes and the fastpass return time was 3:30. We had to leave the park by 1:30 so the fastpass wasn't an option. Since we couldn't ride Test Track this time we decided to head over to World Showcase. We traveled the world in a matter of hours. It was so neat wandering around the different countries. 
While we were in England, we ran into Andrea and her mom. Ironically, we were all headed towards the same phone booth for a photo!
One of Brittany's favorite countries was France. It is her dream to visit the real thing someday. Her only frustration was you can't get near the replica of the Eiffel Tower, it is behind a building.
One of the interesting things about World Showcase is Disney hires people from around the world to work there. It is so neat to visit with them for a few minutes. For example, the girl ringing up my purchases in "Germany" was actually from Dresden, Germany.
After our exciting time at EPCOT we returned to the hotel to get ready for Brittany's pageant registration. I was prepared for it to take a while, but they were so well organized that things ran very smoothly. We were finished in no time! While we were waiting in line Brittany met a number of girls from other states, she immediately bonded with Melanie from Kansas.
Brittany and Miss Connecticut Jasmyn
Later in the evening our pageant directors had a small reception for the girls from Arizona and Texas. Just to let them get together and bond before they started their different schedules for the week.
Ally, Brittany and Andrea ready for an exciting week of fun!
