Day 5 Epcot continued.............
So we make our way to the Sunshine Seasons over in the Land pavilion for lunch. This restaurant is outstanding. It was such a great value. The amount of food you get is incredible and it was delicious! Bryan and I had the rotisserie chicken meal with mashed potatoes and veggies and key lime pie for dessert which was yummy! After dessert the boys and I lined up for the Jr. Chef program where the kids get to make cookies and Bryan ran to get FP's for Test Track. We got in line right @ noon and the program started at 12:15. Of course after about 5 minutes of waiting Eric says "I have to go to the bathroom"
Thank goodness a very nice family we had been talking with said "go ahead will let you get right back in line with us." I said thank you very much and off we went! On our way back the Land had gotten VERY CROWDED so I grabbed both boys hands and walked back over to the Jr. Chef area and we got back in line. This program is sooo cute, there are about 12 children and they get to help in the cookie baking process. Here are a few pics.....
They gave each of the children chef hats, here are Matthew and Eric wearing their's....
Then they take the children in and behind the counter and give them wipes to clean their hands and then they pass out all the ingredients.
Then each child took a turn placing ingredients into the mixture. They all cooperated really well and the CM's were so cute with the kids.....
This one particular CM paid particular attention to Matthew and Eric and did this to Matthew........
Then she gave Eric an egg to crack!
I'm thinking Salmonella, HELLO! so Eric starts hitting the egg gently and I am holding my breath. The egg is just not cracking so the CM says hit it harder. Are you crazy? So Eric starts banging it harder and harder his face is getting red and he's really concentrating. He looks up and says this egg is tough! That's when I realize it was a fake egg!
Thank goodness! Here is Eric with the fake egg!
Then they take turns dropping the dough on the cookie sheet.....
Then it gets put into the magic oven and then the bell rings and perfectly shaped cookies come out! Each child gets 2 cookies! Here is Eric with his...........
That was it! Of course the boys wouldn't share with Bryan and I!
The boys loved doing this and it really was adorable to watch! Besides it was FREE!
After Jr. Chef we went over to the Disney Visa character meet and greet and got some more pictures...
After our character meet and greet we went to the Figment ride. I'm sure most of you know this but when you come off the ride there is a big area of things to explore well, when we first got in there I had to get something out of my bag so I told Bryan I would catch up to them. In the mean time Bryan kept walking and the boys went over to one of the picture maker things(unbeknownst to me). I got my wipes out of my bag and then continued to walk outside. Bryan says "where are the boys, aren't they with you?" I said no, they ran ahead with you!
So we run back inside and they were in the picture maker fooling around and never realized we walked outside with out them! We really aren't bad parents and usually I am soooo overprotective in public places but it was just a lack of communication!
Needless to say I really felt like I was going to have a breakdown! Too much drama for 1 day!
So after Figment we head over to use our test track FP's. On our way over we notice that the Sea's ride is down to 20 minutes so we get in line.
I thought the ride was cute but I'm glad we didn't wait 40 mins. for it because it wasn't that good! I loved the clam mobiles though I thought they were adorable! after the ride we walked around a bit........
Then we headed over to Test Track to use our FP's.
continued in the next post!
The people that were in the room right before us got DREAM FASTPASSES
I hope your day got better!
Thanks for the kind wwords about the boys!
That day was just crazy! It's funny because my kids don't ever just take off that is what made the whole thing just so strange!
We leave for DW in a little less than two weeks and we're so excited. I have been debating over going to Blizzard Beach but after reading your TR, I think we might just have to do it! I am also stressing about losing my kids. My 5 year old is quite adventurous and I'm worried he'll try to take off without mom or dad in tow!
