We weren't going to Epcot until lunchtime so it was decided that we could do a bit more shopping. Mom had an expanding suitcase and she wasn't afraid to use it!
BiGGy wanted his Vans trainers and the kids had been promised some more converse trainers by Mrs BiGGy.
As per usual, DD still had cash of her own left. She was just as frugal as her mom, as every holiday, she'd buy loads of clothes and her money never seemed to go down. BiGGy was keen to learn their secret.
We dropped the shopping off to the room and headed for Epcot.
DD and Mrs BiGGy headed straight for Mission Space. BiGGy and junior gave this one a miss as they both came off a little bit green last year. They headed off for Test Track whilst mom went for a cigarette break.
As these were the only major rides we wanted to do, we headed off for World Showcase. DD had been warned that we were not going around 'commando style' this time. It was imperative last year that the passport and mask were completed in record time. With this and the bad weather, we never had the chance to look around. This year it would be different.
BiGGy was in David Bailey mode and was clicking away to his hearts content. Mom tried her best to keep up.
The weather was great and we took a nice leisurely stroll around the world. Mrs Biggy picked up the passes for the Candle light Procession and reserved dinner at the Garden Grill. We were booked for the meal at 4.30pm and the 8.15pm show.
The restaurant was fantastic. As we all knew, mom didn't like rides or heights, so when she saw what the restaurant did, wall of death sprang to her mind. Everything was ok though once she realised that it went round quite slow and she was sat well behind the table.
The meal here was really good. The characters were really funny, especially Dale who was 'naughty' at our table. Definately worth the money.
We headed off to see what the queue was like for the show. Mrs BiGGy nearly passed out when she realised that the end of the queue was near enough at the entrance to the showcase. This queue was for reserved seating. We'd better get in, she thought. Mrs BiGGy quickly found a cast member, who reassured her that they all had guarunteed seats as they had reservations.
The Candlelight Processional dinner package is highly recommended as otherwise you have no chance of getting in if you wait in the stand-by line.
Jim Caviezel(Passion of the Christ), narrated that night, which is probably why it was so popular.It was also another reason why some people found it so emotional.
When that thad ended, it was time for Illuminations. We found a nice spot by Norway and sat down. BiGGy's camera kit was out and mom was ready for the competition.
The fireworks were absolutely stunning. You don't realise how big they are until you feel the force off the blast.
The fantastic night over, it was time to head back to the hotel.
Swimsuits were at the ready. tomorrow was Typhoon Lagoon. We were feeling a bit sad as it would be our last full day in The World.
