Tuesday, February 20, 2001 - Ben was feeling much better, we we were all up at 6:30. After breakfast at the foodcourt and buying our e-night tickets we took the bus to Epcot. We go to Epcot at about 9:00 and headed right to Test Track. The stand-by line for Test Track was already 45 minutes. We got three sets of fast passes using our room keys, annual passes and e-night tickets. While waiting for our first fast pass time we rode Spaceship Earth and went to The Land to ride Living with the Land and see the Circle of Life film. After that it was time for our first fast pass. We rode Test Track twice in a row. When we were in the fast pass line for the third time the ride broke, so we got out of line and went to the World Showcase. We walked around World Showcase going to the left. We did the Norway ride and listened to the Voices of Liberty singers in the American Pavilion. After the lings we did the American Adventure. That is such a moving show. After America we walked slowly over to the Beach Club through the International Gateway. We stopped at one of the shops and made our own CD with the music from Fantasmic. At 1:15 we had lunch at Beaches and Cream. I had read on the DIS that they had fantastic hamburgers there. Chris had a cheeseburger and said that it was great! After lunch we walked slowly back to Epcot. We stopped at a few shops and then headed back to Port Orleans at 3:30. We wanted everyone to nap since we would be doing e-night until midnight at the Magic Kingdom. We arrived at the MK at 6:00. We went directly over to the Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, but the fast passes were all gone and the stand-by line was 45 minutes so we just walked around Fantasyland until it was time to find a spot to watch the 7:00 Main St. Electrical Parade. We had great seats on a bench next to the crosswalk in front of the castle. We were right next to the statue of Walt Disney with Mickey. The parade was beautiful as usual. After the parade we did the Pirates of the Caribbean and the Jungle Cruise. We had a great cruise guide who was from Long Island, NY. He was probably the best we have ever had. I think that his name was Robert, but I am not positive. After the Jungle Cruise we went up near the castle to watch the fireworks. We had a great view of Tinker Bell's flight. After the fireworks we had dinner at Cosmic Ray's Starlight Cafe. A trip to Disney would not be complete without eating there at least once. I think that is the first place that we ever ate at in the Magic Kingdom. It was then time for e-night to begin. First Paul, Chris and I did Splash Mountain. Ben does not go on Splash Mountain, it makes his stomach feel funny. Then we did Big Thunder Mountain, Haunted Mansion, Alien Encounter, Buzz Lightyear, and Chris, Ben and I did Space Mountain while Paul did Timekeeper. Then we all did Big Thunder Mountain for a second time. On our way out of the park Ben had a hot dog at Casey's and Paul and I had brownies. We all tot to bed at 1:15. It was a very long day, and we were very thankful that Ben felt good enough to spend the whole day with us. Tomorrow three parks in one day!
