Forgot to mention that it was hot and we tried just to do parks in the morning, swim in the afternoon, and back to the parks in the evening. Staying at the BC really made this possible. My daughters had bought 1 liter water bottles at Wal-mart and my oldest made carriers for them. She used beige canvas material for the holder and straps and then they decorated them with fabric paint. Had cute designs with Mickey on them and got quite a few comments from people wanting to know where they got them. Those were the most important items we brought from home because we did drink a lot of water and they saved us quite a bit of money. 
Thursday morning we went to EE at MK. Rode just about everything we wanted to. Didn't see the Lion King show becuase they were having technical difficulties.
Have never seen it so I have something to look forward to on my next visit. Stayed in Tomorrow land and Fantasty land all of EE hours and then went to Splash Mountain and got a fast pass. It was wonderful, only waited about 10 minutes. However, my youngest and I agree that we both feel kind of quilty walking by all those people in line. But not quilty enough to wait in their extremly long line. 
inkbounc inkbounc Rode the train all the way around which is something we usually don't do but it was nice just to sit and relax.
Went to the Saloon to watch the show and eat lunch. Enjoyed the show but ended up just eating a snack. It started raining so we did some shopping on main street and then left. Took the bus to Boardwalk to eat lunch at ESPN. They had good food. We had hotdog, nachoes, steak, and hamburger. I could not believe my daughter ate all the 1/2 pound hot dog. It had quit raining so we walked back to the Beach Club (10 minute walk) and went swimming.
For the evening we walked to Epcot. I don't think we ate dinner since we were so full from lunch. However, we did eat a snack (crepes) in France. Good, but overpriced. We were in America looking around when the girls decided they wanted to go back to Japan to look at the Kimonos. We had brought the radios so we sent them on their way and told them to touch base with us when they got there. Right after they got to Japan it started pouring. It rained so hard that you couldn't see and the thunder and lightning were very intense
A lot of the smaller children were crying and I wasn't too thrilled either to have the lightning right on top of us. I kept calling the girls and telling them not to take one step out of the store. I know my oldest one likes to get wet in the rain and watch lightning but this was just too close. After it stopped pouring and was just raining we ran to join the girls. The illuminations show was postponned from 9:00 until about 9:30 (even thought it was still raining). They said they hardly ever cancel it. I did hear that Fantasmic was cancelled that night. Walking back to BC was an experience. We walked through water that was about 5 inches deep. It took several days to dry out the shoes. I was going to use the dryers but they were all busy and from what I saw they didn't get anything very dry. Forgot to mention that we did use our cheap 68 cent rain gear from Wal-mart. Did keep us sort of dry. We heard that the next days weather was to be a repeat of this day but only worse. Wonderful! Another late night and my eyes were starting to look puffy from lack of sleep.
