Our Cast--Me, DW, DS 12 & DD 10..our 3rd trip. And, our 2, 1st time Dis-er Nieces 15 & 12.

All of us on the free dinning plan.
DAY 3 EPCOT & MAGIC KINGDOM (EMH) Wednesday
WHOOOSH!
Thanks potty alarm! Time to start another day of Kamikaze touring.. Cup-o-Joe & fruit bars in the room, and of to EPCOT we go!
We caught the bus with no wait, and even got our own seats.
The day was looking great already! We went straight to Soarin again and found no line. We did a few attractions we missed yesterday, I was wearing my Cincinnati Reds shirt and the door attendants face lit up as she was from the area. Later that day while entering the Sunshine Seasons for lunch another Nati CM came over to acknowledge us
It IS a small world, after all! 
We did an early CS lunch as we had a 4:15 TS ressie at The Liberty Tree in MK. We tried to keep it light at Sunshine Seasons, I had the salmon, DW a salad and the kids got wraps & chicken meals off the kids menue..once again we threw a lot away & split our desert choices and gave the others away. We re-rode Mission Space & Test Track then went to take advantage of our Disney Visa with the Meet & Greet program in Inoventions. As we approached the secret door for the meet & greet I realized I screwed up 
In my quest to downsize my wallet I had left the Visa card in the room safe. Have you ever seen a parent rip into their kid in front of God & all witnesses, as the kid tries to stare a hole into the ground? Well that was me after Mrs. OhioTony was in informed of my faux pas. 
My only saving grace is that we were coming back to EPCOT for Fridays Food & Wine Fest. The kids played in Inoventions until the educational stuff started to hurt their little heads, then we hopped the Mono-Rail to the MK. The park was minimally crowded and we pretty much walked onto everything. Around 4:15 we had dinner at Liberty Tree. Every one had a blast. This was the first real interaction our Newbees had with the characters and it showed on their faces that they were not too old to love them. I never mentioned that our newbees last names are "Minnie" 
so they were so excited to have they picture taken with her. We left stuffed and still threw away a lot of food. I knew the free dinning offer was a good deal, but I was amazed each time I got the printed receipt and saw what the meals would have cost! The only line we waited in, was around 7:00 to get our EMH bands. It seems they were having technical difficulties with their scanners! After it got dark we rode Big thunder & Splash Mountain, Jungle cruise, TTA, Astro Orbiter and all other outside rides. As a bonus the park announced they would be doing a trial run-preview of their MNSSHP fireworks show! This Greatly reduced the lines for the rides in my opinion. The EMH was a blast and a great success. We got out early enough to catch a quick bus back to POP and as it was late we crashed! No Blue icee tale tonight, but my wife said I was making Slurping sounds in my sleep???
