DAY FOUR - Tues. 7/18/06
Ate quick muffins in the room again and headed to EPCOT. Got our FPs for Soarin, then headed to Journey...no wait at all...this ride will never recover from their attempts to improve it...just bring back Dreamfinder and Figment
and no one will get hurt....anyway....Zipped over for FPs for MS, then headed back to Soarin. As we approached our loading zone, DD20 asked the CM if we could have the front row....she snapped back No, already taken and we took our spots. A few minutes later, CM came over to us and said we could have the front row on the very next ride. She said to just go on the ride this time, then when everyone else exited, just move up to the front row. I guess she felt bad about snapping at us...who knows....but we rode Soarin twice in a row! 
Loved the smell of pine and oranges...those oranges brought me back to the good old Horizon days.
We did the single rider line for TT with a short wait....I think we all agreed that wed rather wait in line or get FP so we can do all future rides together. Its just not as fun for us otherwise. It was now time for our MS FPs. DH and both DDs did the brave version of MS...I did the wimpy one
...and frankly, once was enough for me. I didnt have any problems with it, but I just didnt see any point in going on it again..wasnt crazy about the close quarters, and I knew I couldnt take the wild version. They, on the other hand, LOVED this ride. 
We had lunch today at Alfredos in Italy. We were supposed to have this lunch on Sunday, but since I was in the hospital, DD20 got us a new ADR for today. We really enjoyed this lunch and wouldnt hesitate to go back. On our way out of the park, we found the girls Leave a Legacy tile that wed purchased on our last trip in 2002. That was kind of cool, though I still think that entire area looks like a cemetery.
The girls wanted to do Disney Quest, so we headed over there for a while. It was pretty crowded. We stood in line for the Pirates thing, which was pretty cool. The girls wanted to do the roller coaster thing, so DH and I headed up to the arcade where we played all of the video games from the 80's.... ahh..the good old days.
Ran back to Pop to rest for a bit and get cleaned up, then it was back to EPCOT for our ADR at LeCellier and EMH night. Ill do more detailed food reviews in that forum, but.... yummmmm.....we were stuffed like pigs!!!
We walked around the WS for quite a while and did some shopping (now that our girls are older, we actually spent a lot more time in the WS than we had on previous trips...plus its nice and cool at night), did the American Adventure and as we were leaving that, the CM said it was about to storm 
. We donned our trusty ponchos, but despite the thunder and lightening, it never did more than drizzle a bit. DDs did MS again with only a short wait while DH and I shopped a bit....DH was feeling too full still to attempt MS. We did TT, then headed back to Pop.
Another great day in the books..why do vacation days always pass soooo much faster than work days??????
