Woke and got to MGM by 9:30. We walked over there as there was no boat waiting. We stopped briefly to take some pictures at the Yacht Club Gazebo. I thought of Sam's wedding as I saw part of her video online.
Once at MGM we saw that the front of the park was packed with a touring group of people in wheelchairs. Dreamflight was thier name I think
The park itself, however wasn't crowded at all. No one was hungry at all because of the CApe May cafe from last night so we headed straight to the Sorcerers's
Hat. The Army Men were there and one grabbed my mom and walked away with her arm in arm. When he returned her to us he got down on one knee and kissed her hand. It was
very funny. Went thought the Great Movie ride next and all I did as went through was thinking of those who have had or are having receptions there. I can't figure out how those
cars move. I don't see any track but the drivers weren't turning the wheel when the car turned.

Saw Muppedt 3D, but my daughetr wouldn't put the glasses on. She seemed nervous, lol. Saw Buzz, Woody and Jesse at Al's Toy Barn before letting the kids have fun in the
Honey I shrunk the kids Passed a face painting station and asked the children if they wanted to do it. They said yes and it looked real cute. Walked liesurely around Echo Lake before heading to the front. At the front were Jasmine, Aladdin & Genie, also Hercules, Jafar,
Pocahontas, Mulan, and that strange looking Llama from Emperors new groove. Walked past the boat stop, since we just missed it and walked back. Took a shortcut through
the Boardwalk pool where I felt compelled to have a yummy drink called "the carousel" I forget what is in it but it went down smooth.
Walked the backway up to our room by 1:45. My daughter and I went to the quiet pool for a quick swim, then i coaxed her into the boiling hot jacuzzi. After
a minute i realized the steam was making her face paint melt. Ooops...back to the room to change and headed into Epcot for a sunday dinner
in Italy. Oh mannnn...this was the absolute best. From the mixed green salads, to the mozarella & tomatoes, to the Chicken Parm, veal, and of course
Fetucinni Alfredo everything was beyond fantastic. The server, Barbara was so friendly and genuine and we chatted about Italy, where my mom has been recently and New York City
where Barbara had been recently. Dessert too was amazing. oh yeah the capuccino, too. I knew we were done eating for the day.

Walked next door to the American Adventure and saw the american adventure film. Never saw it before and loved it. The pre show had some great singers but of course i was
thinking how great a place to have a reception it was. The rotunda seems perfect! When we got out we heard the commodores playing in the theatre and I took
some pics of the outside of the AA vip room.
Next headed to the front of Ecpot. Passed the UK and saw the lower and upper pathways roped off. Dessert party anyone?
Kids asked to go on spaceship earth "only if there is no line" my 3 year old son said. We walked right on and when we got out the sun had set already.
Walked up to the monorail to the MK. There was a halloween party tonight but I didnt buy tickets. Instead the kids (okay and me)
had a great time in the Contemporary's arcade. MMM the smell of the 4th floor concourse. I miss this place and look forward to the surprise here next year.
At 8:45 it was back to the monorail and over to the GF. Hey look at the wedding pavilion all lit up...very nice. Walked to the marina and watched the fireworks. They were amazing!!!
Figured we couldnt walk back through Epcot to get back to the Beach Club, so we took the monorail to the MK where we saw the
scary fog drifting by. Walked to the bus stop where the only bus waiting was for the Beach Club and 20 short minutes later we were back.

Tomorrow we are heading to the MK. I took a chance and called for an early morning breakfast at the Crystal Palace. They had a 8:10
opening and i grabbed it. Now we can in the park before opening and get a jump of any crowds.

All in all it was a perfect day!
