Alarm goes off at 6am and Heather is ecstatic! We have a PS for PSB at 8:30am for just the two of us.

We all get a taxi at about 7:50am and go to Epcot. Im excited as this is my first step into WDW!! We leave the boys outside the gate and join the queue for those with PS's. We didnt need the confirmation number, our names were on the list.

Heather has her Snow White dress on, and cant wait to meet her. We go through the turnstiles and somehow find Norway!! It is now that I realise that Epcot is a HUGE park!!!

We arrive at the Akershus and the doors get opened by Aurora. She looks beautiful, we get called in "The Royal Family Holloway, Party of 2" and sit down.

The food is ok, but both me and Heather are fussy eaters - but its not the food that we are there for!!

We met Aurora, Jasmine, Belle & Mulan. Snow White couldnt make it. Heather loves meeting the others but is gutted Snow White was busy.

Lots of photos and autrographs. The princesses were lovely, asking Heather lots of questions about where she is from etc.

We meet Mat and Anthony at Spaceship Earth at about 9:30am. They have already done Test Track and are raving about it!!

We find our first Pin Station and are hooked immediately!!

We head straight for Mission:Space. Slightly concerned about the warnings, especially for migraine sufferers!! But its a brilliant simulator ride, although Heather hated it. She screamed throughout and came out crying!!

Test Track next and we all love it!!

Looking around FW we come across the Ellen Universe of Energy ride. We did go on, but this is NOT a ride for us. Sorry - far too boring.

We loved looking around the countries, Heather made a mask and coloured bits of it in at every country, and then the country puts a stamp on it.

We loved the little boat ride in Mexico, sort of like a mini-IASW!!

We expected the Norway boat ride to be a bit more of a thrill ride than it was.

The day flew by, and we didnt really feel we saw everything.

Wasted another three quarters of an hour with the "Living With The Land" attraction. But we loved Living With the Sea - finding all the Nemo characters was superb.

We stayed and watched Illuminations which was fantastic!!

Overall, we found Epcot to be "OK". We didnt spend enough time taking in all the detail and did not see ANY Disney characters. Obviously we were always in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Ok though, but we would definitely miss the "educational" rides in future. A very tiring park!!!

Collecting pins is very addictive, it's a downward spiral ;) Epcot is huge, there's just 2 much to do in one day. Sounds like you had a good day though.
