After going to bed earlier yesterday we were up again at 5am. Really not funny !!
it was waynes Birthday today so I had a reservation at the Trex cafe which he knew nothing about but which the boys were very excited about.From about 5.30 the boys kept asking how long till the surprise mom???
We had baked a cake for his birthday so that Keira whos coeliac cud have some and for some strange reason we had this for brekkie ???
We have never done Epcot before so we were heading there today - wayne really wanted to do universal but we finally decided it had to be Disney so we could get the birthday fun card!

We arrived into epcot at just after 11 the queue at the will call was massive it seemed everyone had a birthday on 4th March !!
We rode the imagination earth which amused my kids no end when it said my ideal house would do everything for me! They loved seeing themselves on the screen.
Then the boys and wayne went on test track - they were in there for nearly 2 hours !! They were at the front of the queue after just 10 mins and were seated in a car and then it broke down they were not allowed to get off so I think they had one of the longest goes on test track ever!!
On the way out a lady asked Cameron what he thought of it and his reply was - It was ok but my mom drives like that when she takes us to school - the look on her face was priceless :rotfl2:

Next we headed for the character building - I have to say this was a highlight of our entire trip.
When we got in we told the cm that keira was scared of the characters and would it possible for each one to stoop down so they were not as big ??
The cm told all the characters and each one spent a very long time coaxing her to do high fives and copy their actions!! I could not believe it we were in here for over an hour and each character was fantastic by the time we got to Donald duck at the end Keira ran over and give him a big hug !! Pluto came back when he heard and insisted on a kiss on the nose which she gave no problems - truly amazing !!
( the photopass guy took all the pics in here but I will post them when we get them as they are amazing !!)

Now we decided the kids could be kim possible agents - this is fantastic but I do think you need to see the park first. We did 3 missions and were darting all over the place with this phone but I dont think we actually saw Epcot !! We have no photos and we did not see any of the things at each country because we were too busy saving the world :)

Now when we had finally saved the world it was time for our surprise !! T rex was waiting !!
This place is amazing my food was gorgeous the chef catered for Keira without a problem and our dessert was to die for. I finally did remember to take pics in here !!

So after all that excitement we were in bed by 8pm - getting better at least !!!

day 6 here
 
Fantastic. I thought the comment about your driving was funny, out of the mouth babes.:goodvibes
 
loving the updates
 

What a great day! There's nowhere like WDW that would take the time to encourage a scared small child to interact with the characters. It's things like this that keep me going back!!
 
Wondering what the smoke is with the ice cream :confused3

Love the comment from the kids at Test Track :lmao:
 
I am looking forward to trying T-rex it sounds great :thumbsup2 glad you had a fab day

I Love my kids for their ability to shoot me down without even realising it !! :lmao:

It was truly amazing she was petrified with The 1st charcter but went running up to the last - honestly we were amazed!!

Love the comment from the kids at Test Track :lmao:

Not sure what the smoke is when it stopped it just looked like a cup of water ??

I am looking forward to trying T-rex it sounds great :thumbsup2 glad you had a fab day

Honestly Trex is a must at 3pm it was empty by the time we came to leave it was heaving !! So would recomend an late lunch early dinner time slot!!
 
What a fun-filled day. I admire the attitude that allowed you to take a 2 hour (!!!) ride delay on Test Track and turn it into a positive. Good for you.

Please, tell me where the character building is. Either it's brand new or I've been passing by a Magical place all these years. Looking forward to seeing those PhotoPass pictures.

I dont think its a new place but it is tucked away in the corner just past imagination building! We found it as when u walk under the tunnel towards test track Donald duck was at the window !!
Hope my rubbish description helps u find it as it is fab in there!!
 
Looks like Wayne had a great birthday.We have a ressie for TRex and will be ordering that dessert for the 4 of us :thumbsup2.
That comment about your driving was too funny :lmao:.x.

It's a cup of dry ice,to make it look like a volcano erupting.x.
 
It sounds like you had a great time at Epcot and T-Rex. I see that Wayne has got a Birthday Stitch like mine :)

Yep guilty as charged I went out looking for one after seeing yours!! They only had them for sale in downtown disney too!!

I think the Character Connection is Epcot is one of the best places in all the parks to meet them, we had a great experience with Chip and Dale there :goodvibes Love the birthday Stitch plush, I think I may get one and put it aside for my sister (she collects them)
 
Your photo's from the character meet are fantastic. We also found this the best place to meet them as the CMs seem so full of energy and really do go out of their way to make the kids feel comfortable.
T-Rex is also one of our favourite places. Pleased to hear you all enjoyed the birthday night out.
