So we've been in WDW for 34 hours and we've done parts of Epcot, MK, AK and seen Revenge of the Sith. Whew.
We are - ME - age (young enough, thanks), completely compulsive commando at WDW
Chip - 12, future Michael Phelps, very responsible big bro
Doug - 9, always along for the ride, easy to please
Ernie - 5, full of curiosity and t-r-o-u-b-l-e
I am up before the boys again and I start packing up. I am surprising the boys with a move to the Yacht Club today. I was going to take all the luggage to Bell Services in secret so they didn't know we were checking out. Our room in Broadway is VERY far from the main building and I would have to make 3 trips. Not gonna happen. I could have called someone to come get the luggage but they would have been suspicious when a stranger came into the room at 7 a.m. and took their luggage.
I tell them the good news when they wake up. They do a happy dance and get ready to move out.
Now I wish I would have called Bell Services as we drag our luggage all the way to the front. After we happily request that Bell Services deliver our luggage to the Yacht Club, we walk to the ASMovies to deliver the DIS stroller. We had borrowed the community stroller and needed to drop it for the next person on the list. We jump on the MK bus at the Movies and start our fabulous day.
Here's where I resign.
For each of our trips, I have broken up the attractions for each park day-by-day so that we accomplish as much as possible. The first on my list today is Dumbo followed by other age appropriate activities for little boys. As we are waiting to get into the park, we are discussing the morning events. NO ONE but ME wants to do Dumbo. My little Ernie wants to go to Space Mountain. 
After Space, they want to do Space again then the Speedway and the other mountains and Buzz and on and on. Escuze me but do you know how much time I wasted at work studying Len's website and working all this out on a spreadsheet? 
Ok, my sweets. It's all about you. We do it their way and I officially announce that from now on, I will not plan in advance what rides we are going to do. They cheer. Can you believe it? Ungrateful little..... 
Ernie .
We stopped at the Meet and Greet area for the Toy Story characters. Jessie was the only character available. Doug and Chip are too cool to meet her but Ernie wants to. The older two stand waaaay in the back while Ernie meets and greets. He got THE biggest smile and hugged her like there was no tomorrow. I had no idea he liked Jessie so much! We tease him about his new girlfriend for the rest of the morning.
It's mid day and it's hot!!! The boys know we are going to the Yacht Club so they start asking to swim. I am secretly following my preplanned itinerary and suggest that we take the monorail to Epcot and walk to the Yacht Club. I was planning to ask for the front car but don't tell them my plan in case there is a huge line. We transfer at the TTC and ask about riding up front. We can 'drive' on the very next train.
Ernie and Me
The happiest boys!
We walk through Epcot
and get FP for Soarin. The return time is 5:25! I made some new friends along the way -
We were sprinkled with pixie dust at checkin.
Day 3 will be continued......
