Sorry for taking so long between postings but I've been busy with work and down with the flu.

As usual the monkey wakes up at 5:30, time to get up and going. First stop is the Princess Breakfast at Epcot. We get into the park and back into Norway by 8:15. It is really strange to see a park devoid of almost all human life. We join a crowd of about 50 adults and children as we wait for the doors to open. At 8:30 The princess of the day waves her wand, music plays, fireworks go off, streamers shoot out and the doors open as Aurora comes out and greets us. We are shown to our table, breakfast is pretty standard stuff, pancakes, scrambled eggs, potatos, sausage and pastries. Snow White, Mulan, Aurora, Belle, and Jasmine all make appearances at our table and we get the photos of our DD with them.
After the breakfast we head up to Test Track and pick up our FP, then it to Mission Space where we get the baby swap FP, DW and I decide to go first while Gette and the Monkey check out the exit area. After all the warnings and chances to chicken out I'm getting pretty nervous but I'm going to do this ride. DW and I end up in a ship all by ourselves. We blast off and go through one of the better rides I've been on. I didn't feel any motion sickness or vertigo, but I could definately feel the G forces. After the ride Nette says she wants me to take DMIL on it as she is a little weak in the knees, she does get carsick very easy and all the motion simulator rides at WDW cause her stomache to do flips. So I go again.
Then it's to TT for our Fast Passes, I sit this one out and let DW and DMIL go first. DMIL like M:S better so now its my turn I go through the single rider line and as we start out the track we get shut down for about 10 minutes due to a malfunction somewhere. After that its back to the tests.
We have a brief shopping experience in Mouse gears then its to the land for lunch. After Lunch its Living with the Land, then the Living Seas. While looking at the dolphin side of the tank at Living Seas my DD starts shrieking with happiness, all of a sudden one of the dolphins comes from the back side of the tank right to her and stops right in front of her for about 15 seconds looking at her then turns and swims off, it was very cool.
After Living Seas we do Spaceship Earth for the fun of it, after SSE DW and I decide to take the monkey back to the room for a nap, DMIL decides she wants to do some shopping and will head back later.
After our naps we are sitting on the balcony of our rooms at AKL sipping drinks and watching the animals when I hear a shriek from one of the other balconys. I look over to see a unclothed woman on the balcony of her room, fortunately for her there was a post blocking the view, however seconds later we see her boyfriend or husband in a similar state of undress jump in front of the door and proceed to shake his "stuff" around.
This continues for about 2 or 3 more times until he notices us noticing him, calmly he turns, waves, and opens the door for the girl. Aparantly he didn't think that anyone on the balconies would see him and he didn't read the sign on the doors at AK saying there are cameras in use, we never saw those two again.
Dinner that night was at Boma which I thought was excellent there were lots of new foods for us to try. It was an early night for us and friday was catch up day.
