Sunday -- Epcot
The next morning, we met our guide at 7:45 for our trip to Epcot. Our guide’s name was Aaron, and he was terrific, though I still miss Cayman. Andrew and Jake really bonded with him, though it took a day or so before they would ask him questions directly, without asking me for the answer first. I think they finally got tired of me telling them I didn’t know the answer, and to ask Aaron. We headed in to the park and rode Soarin’ in the front row. Amazing – this is my favorite ride! Here we are while waiting in the video area. (Denise – we always get tons of compliments on these shirts.)
We then proceeded to do most all of Future World (except Crush – they were having technical difficulties). Because Jake loves The Land and Garden Grill, we had to move that to dinner as they no longer serve lunch, so we headed to LeCellier for lunch. A lot of people think this place is overrated, but we’ve always had great service and good food. Randy adores the pretzel bread (as do the boys) and we like the soup and filet. I only ate about half of my food as I’m not used to eating a heavy lunch. We ended up going through most of the World Showcase, then re-rode some of Future World rides. We left Aaron in the afternoon and did some shopping at MouseGear. That’s my favorite gift shop.
We headed out on the monorail back over to the GF. (Yes—that’s a skort I have on, so no undies shot!)
I made a run to Walgreens, as my curling iron had broken, plus we wanted to pick up some Airborne and other misc toiletries, then went back to the hotel. We then monorailed back over to Epcot to eat at Garden Grill. The food is decent, and the character interaction is excellent. This was our first trip without autograph books, and I have to admit I don’t miss the stress/trouble. It was nice to relax and get pics with the characters.
In the front of the monorail again…
Here we are chatting with my good friend, one of the concierge staff at the GF-- Joe.

I was Googling earlier today and found this really nice house very close to the one we looked at Wednesday. But this one is bigger and has more updates to the interior. It is listed as sale or lease. So I phoned the agent and she really thought I should look into qualifying for a mortgage. Hmm.
We just need to provide some supporting documents. Huh. Who knew? I wonder if this means we are actually going to buy a house?
Hopefully it won't be too difficult to replace!
Congrats to Katie. Is she too old for American Girl Doll books? The 2009 doll of the year confronts some bullies. I bought Lizzy the DVD but we haven't watched it yet. I'll let you know how it is.
