Why is that? Our worst rainy day was an Epcot day in 2008. We thought we'd run into American Adventure to eat and wait it out. We had Soarin' FP but didn't want to run in the rain to get there (and of course, this would be the 1 time I left ponchos behind). Waited a good looonnnng time and it was not letting up. Decided to skip Soarin and just make a run for it back to the BC. Rained the whole trip back to the resort. And wouldn't you know, that is when it finally began to let up! 
So by then we were dripping. Changed clothes and walked back to Epcot for Illuminations. We gave up on trying to make it to Soarin'.
I haven't beeen to Liberty Inn for a while, but I really like it , inside air conditioned and good food !!!
This is SUCH a great photos. All of the girls will be looking back on this one when they are in their 30's & 40's remembering when. its a real memory!
Hilarious grumpy faces!!!
Well, I've never done the video in France either! In fact the only one I have done is Norway.
You need to rectify that in September.
Love the girls making Mark proud by taking hat photos!
I can see how that might be. It looks like it should be really good, but based on the description, I'd figure it would be kind of so-so.
Too me it looked way too sweet.
Ok, gotta know. What did they do?
They were just not very thankful. We asked if they planned on riding Soarin', we told them we had Fastpasses and would they like them and they said sure. Then after I gave them to them, no thank you or anything.
Well, that could have happened on the walk back.
You make a good point.
I'm not gonna lie. I kind of want one of those.
They were cute.
Naturally
Oh hush now...I hadn't at one since the day I left Chicago.
It's a Small Mexico!
Snore snore snore!
Great idea. And great pictures.
Fab updates Kathy!
Hi, Molly. Just so you know, my friend. Even though you've been missing, you get here more than two other people who shall remain nameless!
It was insanely hot when we were there in mid-May through Memorial Day and lordy, I thought my skin was going to just melt off! Sounds like that weather continued into June for your girls trip.
It was hot in June when we were there. Normally, I wouldn't mind it, but when you are walking at a snail's pace and stopping all the time, it got to me.
Wow, so the folks you gave away your FP's too were rude?!?! That's crazy...or should I say that's nice (shout out to Timmy there!). We've never encountered that before, usually people are so grateful. Where are people's manners nowadays? Sheesh.
As I often say, we've become a very selfish society.
Loving all the hat tributes to Mr. Mark! I'm sure he was proud.
He was very proud, but also doesn't want anyone taking away his glory.
The girls are so cute in these pics Kathy, they've sure grown since your last trip with them.
They have; Mary posted pictures from their first day of school today on Facebook and I swear they've grown in the two months since I've seen them.
Rain. Sigh. It should not be allowed at Disney, ever.
I couldn't agree more!
Looks like you girlies were really enjoying this trip, how fun!
Nope none of my friends are disney/florida crazy like meIt's sad. Unless I can book the same time a group of dissers are going maybe and join them?! We'll see.
Kathy, once again great pictures. Sorry for the rainy day at Epcot but I have learned a rainy day in WDW is better than a sunny day at home.
).We have never seen the movies at WS either.I guess if we were able to go to Disney more often we may try to see them, but just going every couple of years... we typically just skip them.
It's hard to do everything in one trip so I totally understand.
My DD11 has the same black and pink Minnie hat that Avery has! I just love that hat, and would probably wear it if it were in an adult size.
I thought it was really cute.
LOVE the pictures of the girls in front of Spaceship Earth!!!And yes, they have grown so much! Hate that that happens so quickly!
Hope things are working out with your mom!
Thanks; my brother is working on a lot of paperwork right now.
I enjoyed your last couple of updates. Nice pictures from Nemo and in the aquariums. It is so hard taking pictures in there.
It is hard taking pictures in there; I never know if I should use my flash or not. And the moving motion of the fish doesn't help.
That stinks that the recipients of your Soarin' FP were jerks! I am always amazed at how difficult it can be to give those away. We have had a lot of people who don't speak English, or it is the wrong number of people in hte party or others who think we are trying to scam them. I do a lot of studying/vetting now before I offer up FP.
I will be much more careful the next time I am giving up Fastpasses!
Sounds like you picked a good time to take a break to mostly avoid the rain.
Yes; too bad we couldn't avoid it on our final day (which should be coming up).
Glad you made it back to EPCOT
Me too!
I love that movie in France, but it has been a long time since I have seen it.
It's probably my favorite movie...the colors, the music, etc.
The lunchboxes at the Liberty Inn are way cool!
The kids really liked them.
I like the way you are blocking out the photos!
Cameron and Sam are really cute kids, but I do't want to post their pictures since mom didn't give us permission.
I LOVE the pictures with the EPCOT ball. Cute little girls who are getting bigger!
I see a pretty pink bird.
My mother-in-law used to collect those pretty pink birds.
I am going to buy one of those drums one of these years.
I think I'll buy my first grandson one of those...payback time!
I like shots like this of the simple things. Kids love stopping to play music in WDW. It's a nice change to have permission to make lots of noise.
Isn't it, though? And the simple things are often the best things.
I have had such little DIS time lately. I am trying to catch up this morning, and it's such a treat to enjoy all of the pictures!
It is so great to be able to walk back to BCV. Looks like you timed it right with the rain.
That was probably my favorite part of BCV...being able to walk back.
I think you had a very full day- no wonder everyone was tired.
And it was hot!
So close to that next trip.
and thank you. I am going to be sure to show my husband what you wrote so he knows just how charming I am. 
Always rains on an Epcot day.
I remember last year it poured on our Epcot Day too. We got stuck in the Mexico Pavilion for at least an hour. I don't remember it ever raining when we were at AK through the years. I can't believe it stopped as you got near the resort. Never fails.
Kids all love to stop to play the music. Awesome when you have the time to take it all in and enjoy the little moments.
It was a good way to rest for a few minutes and they had so much fun. My husband tends to do the same thing.
Wishing you all the best with whatever you decide to do for your mom. I was lucky my sister was willing to move in with my mom when her dementia really started becoming a large worry. But I get along with my mom. Can't imagine what I'd do if it wasn't a good relationship and I had to figure out what to do.
Great Updates of your day at E[pcot !!It is definately my favorite park!! I love the Lands and Soarin' To bad those people were jerks that you gave the FP's to
Sorry it was rainy on your day at Epcot.
Love seeing the pic of how much the kids grew in a year. I always do that with Disney pics of my kids too!
I'm not quite caught up yet but have to go get Miss Katie tucked in in a few minutes so want to reply because I think my reply from a week or two ago never posted.
Hi, MaryEllen.
So much fun (except for the transportation issues!!!) I think I would have walked to DHS after all that bus/boat drama. sheesh!
I had never had such poor bus service in all of my trips. If it hadn't been for the rain, we probably would have walked and gotten there a lot faster.
Your B&C ice creams look soo yummy.One of these trips we will just go there for ice cream, then maybe lunch after if there is room!!
I'm thinking a trip this year just for ice cream might be in the cards.
I chuckled when I saw Mary's comment that the little guy wanted to walk. No point wasting $ on a stroller if the child wants to move! The good think about a slow pace is that you do get the chance to really look around as you walk instead of rushing from one ride to the next.
I would normally agree, except it was hot, crowded and they were newbies and we missed out on a lot that we probably should have gotten done if we'd ahd a stroller.
This is SUCH a great photos. All of the girls will be looking back on this one when they are in their 30's & 40's remembering when. its a real memory!
Thanks!
Hilarious grumpy faces!!!
I could not stop laughing that evening.
You got quite a bit done, two parks and a break in one day too.
We had to with the heat for the girls sake.
aah there's Katie ready for bed (mostly, that girl can waste more time!)
Don't they all do that when it's bedtime?
I'll be back later and maybe will even catch up before you head back for your anniversary.
Can't believe we leave in 3 days.
YAY for another girls trip!
Blame it on my haste to get this done before I leave on Friday for Disney or old age, but the Epcot update was actually my last night there. So in the next update, the evening portion of our program will actually be what happened the day before. 
See Mark is not like the Boys around her , he doesn't pick on me as shal we say Marv, Dan and Glenn do !!!And I am soooo innocent I loved the face painting !! You looked very intent on Buzz !!!
which is easy to do.
I think the movie in France is still the only one I haven't seen yet. Last time I tried to make it there it was already closed.
It never ceases to amaze me how many people don't catch on when we try to spread a little pixie dust. Sounds like you would have been more than justified taking them back and looking for someone else to share them with!
Love this face!!!We then walked back to the BCV (best part of staying there...the walk back to our resort). Since the girls did not care for their American Dream, dessert was in order:
She might have been posing for Mr. Mark, but this is actually a pretty good look for Avery!Avery making Mr. Mark proud:
Wow, the girls are really growing, and changing so much!
That man really loves opening himself up to criticism.........
1) My last update...I put it on the wrong day.
Cool! A time-traveling TR!My poor baby girl:
1) My last update...I put it on the wrong day.
Well, at least you're writing updates, even if they're not in the right order. That's better than some.1) My last update...I put it on the wrong day.
Poor Cookie!
Poor Mark!!! It was just an accident. And it was half her fault. She's the one who jerked. I guess she's going to be awfully furry from now on, because it doesn't seem like it is in Mark's best interest to ever cut her hair again.
