Previously on Biscuit's Grand Adventure, Corn Dog nuggets were consumed, dusty lights were bellowed about and a carpet failed to fly.
A man after my own heart- Ahhhh, corn dog nugget heaven!
Morning at the Pop by GB
The next morning, I woke up 9:16 (why I wrote that down, I couldnt tell you.) Even though it was after 3 AM when I finally crashed the night before, I couldnt fall back to sleep. (Too excited I guess). I decided to let the girls sleep in so I left the lights off, but fired up the laptop and began working on converting some of the photos from the previous day into an email friendly format. While I was at it, I started organizing the photos into folders by time of day/event. Once that was done, I sent an update to Lynnlee (Prestons Mom) and to my father in law with a description of our first day and four batches of photos. I wound up doing this pretty much every morning of our trip.
Good reminder to take care of those photos along the way! I hope maroo brings her laptop!! Yeah, sleep pretty much goes out the window at the World, doesn't it?
The night before, Nana had advised me that they would probably get up early and go the parks. I sent them on to Epcot and advised we would meet up with them all later. (I may be in Disney, but Im not crazy!) I also verified that this was to be matching shirt day. Before we left, Nana and I collaborated on making an iron on logo for our trip. (Its the same one in my signature, except that it just said Biscuits Grand Adventure
I added the Trip Report after we got back.)
LOVE your shirts! I would have been one of the ones asking , "Who's GB?"
Tracy woke up about around 10:30 and got herself ready, while I ironed all our T-shirts. Once we were dressed and ready to go, we finished unpacking all of the suitcases and reorganizing our colossal stack of stuff. I also got to experience another Disney first. You know her, you love, and it was time for Biscuit to finally say hello to Stacy. After 20 minutes, it was time to say goodbye to Stacy. The girls slept through it all, even with the light and the TV on. We let them sleep as long as we dared and finally pulled them out of bed at 12:15. Once they were both dressed, groomed & sun screened, we headed out the door.
It would have killed me to miss half a day, but with kiddos it does make it hard! You just can't burn the candle at both ends, can you?
Our initial plan was to hit up Epcot in the morning, return to the resort for a break, then head to Disneys Hollywood Studios in the evening. Of course with our unscheduled Extra Magic Hour, this pretty well killed that plan. Instead, we decided to grab some lunch at Epcot, meander around a bit, then head to DHS.
You did have GP, Master Plan II, right??
We set out for Epcot and wound up with a fairly lengthy bus wait. When a bus did arrive, we had to wait for the unloading of an
ECV and subsequent loading of two ECVs so it was a good 45 minutes from the time we hit the bus stop until we were actually pulling away. (One of the longest waits of the trip.) I called my mom and directed them Sunshine Seasons to meet us. When we arrived at Epcot, I was a bit surprised to discover the distance between the bus stop itself and the front gate. HOLY COW was it a ways from the Pop stop!
Maybe a bus to another park, then one from there, would have been faster?? Yikes, how frustrating!
There was a bit of a bag check bottleneck, but I finally
made it through and we were soon walking through the turnstiles. It was HOT that day. By the time we schlepped our way over to The Land, I was in definite need of some air conditioning.
Pretty hit and miss there, from what I hear. You either sail through or wait forever! Glad relief is coming soon!
Morning at Epcot by Nana
As Biscuit has previously stated, we are all pretty much night owls. What he did not tell you is that the Biscuit clan are the only ones who like to "sleep in". The rest of us do just fine with 5 - 6 hours of sleep a night. (GBs Editorial Insert: That 5-6 hours doesnt count the 2-3 hours of sleeping on the couch while watching TV before they go to bed. But I digress
) After our EMH the first night, Janna and I drove her car back to the Pop. As we were heading to our room about 2 am we noticed two women in the pool. It looked like a great idea although the pool was officially "closed". We decided to give it a shot, after all the worst that could happen would be to get kicked out. But no one else ever came by and we spent a very relaxing and refreshing 45 minutes in the pool. During that time we discussed the next day and decided that we did not want to "sleep in" and miss time at the World. We decided to head out to Epcot and meet the Biscuit's when they made their way into civilization sometime after 1:00 pm.
HA! That's what I tell my folks too! They think getting up EARLY is next to godliness, but I tell them, that if they perhaps got up at a reasonable hour like 8 AM, maybe they wouldn't be napping at 10:00 for 3 hours. 
We left our room about 8:30 and headed into the Pop food court for breakfast. Preston got the cutest Mickey pancakes and I got some awesome potatoes. We then headed out to the buses. There was very little wait and we were soon on our way to Epcot. The bus dropped us off and I thought we were right at the gates - WRONG. There is a very long walk from the bus drop off to the actual entrance, but we were ready for an adventure so we went ahead with joy.
WOW! It must be a long way for you to have both mentioned it indp. of each other!
Once inside, Papa and Janna decided they would stand in line for Soaring (why we didn't think of fast pass I will never know) Preston and I headed to The Living Seas with Nemo. We had a very short wait and were soon in an underwater adventure. After that we went on Journey Into Imagination.
I can't imagine why he wouldn't like it! I adore that ride- except for the skunk smell part 
But even that's not too bad.
Preston was not too crazy about that but we did some fun things in the museum area when we came out. He made a picture of himself on an owls body and we emailed it to his mom. Sadly she never received it and Preston the Owl is floating somewhere in cyberspace.
OH, too bad. I'll bet it was really cute!!
About that time Papa called and said they had been in line an hour and it had not moved so they were giving up. We met and headed to Mexico. There was a boat ride inside so we decided that given the 100 degree temps outside, that was a good option. We walked right to the front and thought that was a great stroke of luck. However, about that time a girl came out and told us it was "down" but should be repaired in 15 minutes. That seemed OK and it was cool inside. About 5 minutes later the mariachi band began to entertain us. About 10 minutes later, Preston decided he HAD to go to the bathroom NOW. So we made a run. Wouldn't you know it, the moment we were out of sight they opened the ride. Papa and Janna went in and waited at the front. When we returned, we were escorted to the front of the line. Talk about service! The ride was enjoyable and did I mention that it was COOL!
That's Disney pixie dust for ya I like that little ride too, but not as much as Maelstrom!
Lunchtime by GB
When we arrived at the Land, I called Nana and she talked me over to her table. They had already gotten their food so we left the girls with them an hit up Sunshine Season. I knew this to be a popular spot with DIS Boarders, so I was anxious to try the chow. We wandered back and forth a bit, comparing all of the different options. Eventually, Tracy and I decided to both go with Asian offerings. We got Hailee one of the Smuckers pre-fab PBJ sandwich kits and we got Tahli Mac N Cheese. (Shocker I know.)
For dessert, Tracy got the Chocolate Mouse Cake, and I got Key Lime pie.
Key Lime is so refreshing on a hot day. Try it frozen some time :J)
(Had to crop the pie shot as I may or may not have consumed a portion of it before taking this photo.)
NAW! Not GB!
Tahli ate quickly and Hailee was going through one of her anti-eating moments. Within 5 minutes of sitting down, they wanted to go on a ride. All of Nana and Papas crew were done eating by this time, so they took the 3 young uns on Living With the Land while Tracy and I ate.
My favorite attraction in all of Future World, next to Soarin'!!!! I"m so glad the kids enjoyed it!!!
The food was okay. Not horrible, not fantastic. Just okay. The dessert was definitely the best part of the meal.
Not a big dessert eater here either, so Sushine Seasons probably won't be on my short list of must- trys. The food has to be the bigger draw for me.

Undeniably adorable!!!
Lunchtime by Nana
By the time the Biscuit crew got to the table we were pretty much done. We had Lo Mein which was really good. But the best part was dessert. It was a "to die for" strawberry shortcake. It would be worth a trip back just for another piece!
I'll bet it's the same recipe as at Hoop de Doo!! So incredibly great!
The adults enjoyed it too!
It's amazing for everyone! How can that tomato plant not impress someone??!!! Did you know it's in the Guiness Book??
Conclusion by GB
(Can I just say that as awkward as it is take photos of food, shooting pics for a panoramic is even more odd feeling. You are shooting everything from the floor to ceiling, one section at time in a full half circle. I definitely got a few odd looks during the week
mostly from First Lady Biscuit.)
Don't worry about it! You'll never see them again. And I'm sure Tracy will thank you now that you have some beautiful memories and shots to go with them
We headed back to the upper level and said a temporary goodbye to The Land. While Id loved to have stayed a while, we had dinner ADRs at Disneys Hollywood Studios and the kids were anxious to ride something else. I was excited and happy and couldnt wait to see what incredible things the rest of the trip would hold. As it would turn out, a series of unfortunate events would soon threaten the balance Biscuitdom.
Can't wait to hear this one!!!! YOu didn't lose your wallet again? YOu didn't mess up on hours, did you??
Coming up on Episode 57 - A Disturbance in the Force
Last time we were there that part of the park was reserved for a different day, and I got sick.
)
I miss talking with Z and reading his totally AWESOME TR's. He's definitely good peeps. 7 Weeks to go! WOOHOO! 
I hope you have a great time! I can't wait to hear all about it when you return. (You know you are now obligated to write a TR correct? It's in the fine print on page 17 I believe.) I'm glad you finally got to use your loaf line. It made me grin. And that my friend is mighty nifty! 
But can I just throw out there that I don't iron my t-shirts. I'm impressed!!
