Tues 10/16

We went over to the character breakfast at Cape May. We ended up walking because the PS was for 8:00 and the boats only run 1 hour before park opening. This means that only the EE boat route was running and of course that was not the on we needed. We would have eventually gotten there but it would have been a long ride. The walk was fine but it is one more thing to take into account when making PS. I don't know how this will change with the new EPCOT hours.

The breakfast was good. The boys were a little scared of the characters. They love them from a distance. After breakfast we walked over to EPCOT. I always like to walk through the countries in the morning with no one around. You can get the best pictures! We head for Test Track and it was already busy. The Fastpass machines were all covered up. I asked the CM when they would be available and she said the end of the year! I didn't understand this because Feb 2000 the machines were working. They were in a different location.

We gave up and went to Body Wars instead. We walked right on Body Wars and Cranium Command. Next we headed to Ice Station Cool to try the Coke stuff out. It was fun to walk through the really cold room. After that we headed to Living Seas. This was the kids favorite part of Epcot. We skipped the movie becasuse the boys were really getting tired of waiting around. We got to see them feeding the dolphins which was really great!

After the Living Seas, we split up for awhile. My family walked the long way around the world showcase. We went on the boat ride in Mexico. My DD pin lite up during this ride.

We ate lunch at the American take out place and then took the boat back to the BW.

We took the bus to MK and then the boat over to FT Wilderness for the 5:00 Hoop-de-doo. We got there early so we checked out the petting zoo. We all enjoyed the show! It is really corny but everyone was laughing. We took the bus to DD and tried to shop. What a mess! It was really crowded down there. I didn't expect so many people on a Tues. night.

When we got back to the BW we watched some more performers and then headed to bed.
 
Sounds like a fun day! In my experience, Downtown Disney is *always* crowded, especially World of Disney. Thanks for posting, looking forward to reading more.
