Ok, I believe I got mixed up somehow. When we are on a trip, I usually dump the pic's from my camera card onto my laptop. I keep each day's photo's in a seperate folder so that it sort of tell's a story and I don't have to take notes for my TR. Well.....obviously some of my pics have been mixed up because on this day we started at MK first. I forgot that we had promised DS that he could ride Buzz again, bright and early in the morning. THEN we headed over to Epcot for Soarin'. I think I'm also getting the night's mixed up too so I'm not going to try to figure it out anymore. We really hopped around a lot our last 2 days.
The main portion of our extra day will be correct. So, here is what I missed.....
When we got to MK in the morning, the portion of the hub in front of the castle was roped off. There was a large camera crane and crew out front and when we got closer I realized someone was standing on the balcony of the Castle. 2 teenagers walked up right after us and started asking if we knew who it was. Everyone was speculating as to who it was because it was sort of hard to see her. Finally, a name entered my head and I asked if that was who it was because frankly, I have no idea. I didn't really watch American Idol. I zoomed in as much as I could and took some pics. I showed the 2 teens and asked if it was "Jordan Sparks". The ear piercing scream told me it was. She never waved at anyone, by the way. She just stood there and looked around while the crew was getting things set up.
At this point, the teens were waving to her like mad. You can see that she looked right at us.
This was her reaction to the waving....
After this we headed over to Buzz so DS could have his morning ride. We also rode the Indy cars again. Then we headed out to Epcot. We actually drove there and did the monorail either later that evening or the next night. I really can't remember anymore and my pic's are all mixed up now.
That night we came back to MK and caught a few more rides. One of which was It's a Small World, per DS's request. I snapped some pic's. Below are some that came out clear or semi-clear.
But the most magical part of the evening was when myself and DH took turns riding Pirates of the Caribbean. DS was starting to show interest in riding it. When DH got off, DS decided that he wanted to try it out. So, off we went....He was sort of nervous at first since it was so dark and "stormy" but he didn't cry or even start to cry. I did my best to point out little things that I thought he'd think were cool to keep his mind from playing tricks on him.
We went down the slide and after that, he was totally fine. He said he really liked it. Not sure if he will do it again next time but he liked it this time.
Here are the pics from IASW...
This is another ride we rode way too many times this trip. Do you ever find yourself zoning out on this ride and rather than look at the decorations you find yourself wondering where all the side tunnels and doors go? Maybe it's just me.
As always, the line to get off is longer than the one to get on the ride...
Money!! And another mysterious pathway to a door.
Here are a few extra pic's from when we were walking into MK....
Sorry about the glare. This was $25,000.00

The sky writer was out this morning! It said "Jesus Loves U"
