Went to Epcot this morning where we started with Honey I Shrunk the Audience. I have only done this once before and that was on my first trip but Tricia likes it so I figured I could do it again. Only had a five minute wait and then we were in, got seats right at the end of the row, right beside the exit. Well we got our seats and the show started, I was terrified, give me the Hulk or Duelling Dragons any day. I sat with my legs folded on the seat with my 3D glasses on my knee and my eyes shut tight. This didnt help and when I opened my left eye slightly I noticed a small child being taken out and I thought about running too. I did manage to stay until the end but I wont be hurrying back, its a shame because it is a fantastic show and totally hilarious but somehow I have managed to convince myself that something will have changed and a snake is going to appear from somewhere and touch me. I did enjoy this show when I first saw it but put off going back because of the snake. When we left here we went to World Showcase where we got fish and REAL chips at Harry Ramsdens in the UK pavilion, we had a family of ducks sitting under our table, they did pop out now and again to have a look at us, each time they did I smiled and they went back under, Im not sure if they thought I was a nice person or they were scared to make a move. When they started to walk away they quacked so I responded in a quack and they thanked us for letting them join us, I wished them a good day and they headed off for a bush. We headed off to France where I scared a CM.
We went into the shop in France that sells perfume (cant remember what its called) and I picked up a bottle of Paris and sprayed some (okay it might have been a lot) onto my wrists and my neck and then I turned to Tricia and asked did she want some and the CM came flying across the room, I swear she moved like the launch of Rock n Rollercoaster shouting I have paper for that, I have paper for that! I thanked for paper and left, I could buy Paris cheaper at home and I had sampled so much I really didnt need any more.
Continued walking around the world stopping in various shops, discovered a toy shop in Germany that I have never noticed in 6 years. Wandered back to Future World where we watched the Kristos who were brilliant and then went to Ice Station, once again the Beverly was minging, I only tried it to remember how bad it was. Tricia bought some cola scented candles. Had cake and coffee in the bakery and then headed down to Spaceship Earth only to discover that there had just been a power surge or something and most of Future World had broke down, the CM said there were huge sparks and it was scary for a few minutes. We headed back towards World Showcase and got our photo taken with the dancing fountain and Spaceship Earth in the background. The photographer said the picture would be ready in an hour. Mouse Gears was still in operation so we went in there and I looked at my trolley again. It is a luggage trolley that can also be used as a back pack and its really nice but I still couldnt convince myself that I needed it so I left it again.
When we went to collect our photo it wasnt ready, the CM in the photo place said they take two hours, the photographer had said one hour. No problem we will come back for it on Thursday.
Left Epcot at International Gateway and walked over to MGM stopping at the Bakery in the Boardwalk to buy bottles of water. We bought our water after the CMs had finished their conversation. I thought I was in Klick (UK photo shop and dry cleaners) when I went into an empty shop and had to wait to be served.
Went into MGM watched the parade and left to go to Magic Kingdom where we were meeting Judith at 7pm. Got the bus to the Contemporary and then walked over to MK. We exchanged our tickets for e-night wrist bands and then Tricia waited at City Hall for Judith and co while I went to Adventureland to buy something for tomorrow for myself and Judith. When I got back Tricia was gone so I went and bought some water and popcorn for my dinner. Tricia re-appeared at 6.55pm and said she had met Darren in the camera shop and the Browns were over at the smoking area with Judith. As we headed over we met her in the queue for Princess Aurora, Snow White and Belle with Taylor and Ciaron. Ciaron decided against meeting Snow White after the little boy in front told him he got a kiss from Snow White, I think it was the lip stick marks on his face that scared Ciaron. While we were waiting Judith said Darren had hurt his back, thinks it was on the rides yesterday at IOA.
Went into the camera shop to seek help because Judith couldnt get the memeory card out of her new digital camera. The CM had a look and then told her there wasnt a card in it and explained that the pictures she had taken and saved had been saved to the cameras memory. Glad Im not the only one who has DUH moments.
Got the train round to Frontierland hoping to get fast passes for Splash Mountain but they were all done for the day so we got them for Big Thunder mountain. Ciaron could vaguely remember going on it when he was three and Tricia was going on it so he was happy to ride.Walked over to Fantasyland and myself and Tricia went on Its a small world with Judiths three children, Taylor loved looking for the doll that wasnt smiling. Taylor and Ciaron enjoyed it, not sure about Melissa. Ciaron has been singing the song ever since much to his familys delight!!! Went onto the carousel next and then onto Snow White. Headed back for our Thunder Mountain fast pass. Judiths hat blew away but Tricia caught it, Ciaron enjoyed the ride until the end and then cried that it was scary.
Melissa wanted to go on Space Mountain so Tricia, Melissa, Taylor, Ciaron and Darren headed over there while myself and Judith went to buy something else for tomorrow. We had to wait for Spectro Magic to pass before we could get over to Adventureland. Judith told me Darren was concerned about tomorrow. When we found what we were looking for we took out the thing I had already bought just to check they went well together, OMG, just beautiful.
When we caught up with the others we found the line for Space mountain was 60minutes so Melissa didnt get on, watched the fireworks from Tomorrowland and had a good view but we couldnt hear the music that well. Went up to the TTA and myself, Tricia, Taylor and Melissa got into a car. We assumed the other 3 would go in the car behind us, but no, in came Judith, then Ciaron then Darren, we had 3 children and 4 adults in that little car!!!
Walked over to Main Street and got a spot on the kerb the 11pm Spectro. Went and got some fries and some coke. When the parade started a child (approx 12 yrs old)started kicking me, he stopped when I sat on his foot just as his mother stopped kicking Judith when she sat on her.
After the parade we said goodbye to the Browns and arranged to meet them at 9am outside MGM tomorrow morning (we promised to be on time). I waved the bag of delights at Darren as I said goodbye and he went a strange sort of green colour and worriedly said bye to Tricia.
We headed back into the park where we rode Buzz four times, TTA once ,Haunted Mansion once, Thunder Mountain 3 times and Splash Mountain 3 times. We were in the front row of Splash for the last ride of the night or morning at 1.55am. Got bus back to resort, got showered and set a wake up call for 7am (we are determined not to be late again). Turned light off at 3.01am.
