Today our designation was Epcot. We were up bright and early and to the park before 9:00AM. We were second through the gate. Once the gates opened Jayden got a quick photo with Daisy Duck. We were on a mission to the popular ride Soarin when an employee told us it was our lucky day and to follow her. She took us in to have photos taken with the favorite characters, Mickey, Minnie, Goofy and Pluto. Typically there is a gigantic line for this, so we made it through in a flash. On to the Soarin ride. Luke was hesitant about the idea, but he enjoyed it so much he wanted to go again. Next we went to the Nemo ride, then saw and interacted with “Crush” the sea turtle who loves to say,”Dude”. We explored the aquarium area and took shark photos.
We went to the Test Track and decided last minute not to take Luke. He did not want to go at all and after riding, I have no doubt it would have been too much for him. Jayden so kindly sat and waited with Luke while the rest of us rode. It was fast! I took the boys through some interactive centers. One was teaching about saving your money and you have a little piggy bank you carry with you and play games with. They had fun, and had to learn how to take turns with one another which is hard with your brother. I also took the boys on the planet earth ride in the giant silver ball. Mark and Jayden started their way around the world showcases. We met back up at the figment of your imagination ride. Just outside the boys liked to try and catch the water splashes and got a little wet.
After that we met for our early dinner reservation at the Coral Reef. The restaurant had seating surrounded by aquariums. Very nice atmosphere the food was good but not enough quantity and expensive I made reservations at each park at least once daily. Most days the bus ride back was our only down time of the day. Back at the resort we roasted marshmallows, and went to an outdoor movie in the courtyard, something the do nightly when it’s dark. You put a towel down on the ground and made your self cozy. The movie wasn’t a good one and I couldn’t get into it. Luke likes to stay with me, so we went back to the room a little early and I tucked him in bed.
