well it was nice almost having the resort to ourselves- it is packed today with marathon runners- it was kind of exciting at first watching the runners- we had planned on early entry at MK- the AKL bus had to re-route and go to the transportation center and from there we took the monorail to MK- when we got there around 7:45 i couldn't believe there were no lines- yahoo!! we lucked out again- WRONG- we went to go in and the CM asked if we were with the marathon- well of course not, we could all do to loose a few pounds- well he said early entry for marathon people only- okay no problem but at 8:00 am you will be letting us in, right????wrong- no early entry for resort guest today- we would have to wait till 9 am- oh no way- the park already looked packed with 16000 runners

okay, slight diversion- lets go to epcott- the park was pratically empty- it was also a cold morning again- in the 40's - but by afternoon it was nice- went on my all time fav- ellens energy adventure- i love the film and the dinosaurs!! we went on every ride in park and went to every country- we were done by 5:30- ate at the electric umbrella and went out to international drive for dinner- and only got lost once!!! (smile)

stay tuned... pooped out
 
Glad to hear going to Epcot worked for you - I know the marathon attracts a big crowd but had no clue that many - thanks for posting!
