As we were waiting for the bus to Epcot (it was meant to be TL to meet CE (cmp1111), V(PrincessV) and LL(LauraLee131) but due to Fay we cancelled :sad:) anyway as we waited I saw 3 figures walking to the buses all dressed in ponchos and I’m not sure how but I knew straight away it was Kat,(KatGarcia) Z(Lurrvvvtheduck) and Yani.(Z's friend) They were so surprised to see me waiting for them with a big hug, even if I did moan that they got me wet as I’d taken off my poncho :rotfl: We said some quick hi’s before going in different directions knowing we’d see each other at Biergarten tomorrow!



We were at Epcot before 9am and there was no rope drop!!

We went straight to Soarin’ rode it and FP’d it too. Mum loves living with the land but to my disgust I hate it. It is so boring :faint: Once we got off we went back on Soarin’ as the queue was still extremely short!!

Mum saw the Dream Team at the exit of the land and so we had to ride it again!! It takes forever to ride it right!!!?? And by the time we got off the DT had gone :(




Well you’ve got to try and get a dream haven’t you, especially as we hadn’t even been close the whole trip, plus it gave me an excuse to torture Jess again :rotfl:



We headed over to our favourite ride Test Track and got fast passes. Rode it as it was only a 15 minute wait.

After we had done all that this morning it was about 11:30am-12pm and we all were getting hungry so we went to Electric Umbrella. We ordered a Salad, Chicken burger and nuggets.

After we had eaten Mum and I went to Mission Space. Dad and Ellie went on Space Ship Earth!! Once mum and I had finished MS we told Dad and Ellie we would meet by the inside exit of SSE.

One of the cast members came over to us and said that she could get us on the back way how cool :thumbsup2: But I really don’t like the ride!!! The lady also gave us tips on Turtle Talk!!!




We chatted for ages with a lovely CM at the exit to SSE, as Jess said she offered to get us onto SSE via the back exit once D & E came off, but Jess didn’t want too :confused: She also told us that if you want to get chosen to talk to Crush as soon as he says OK now…… you must raise your hand really high and you’ll more than likely get chosen!



We went back and used our TT FP’s but it didn’t work probably. It kept stopping and starting!!! Dad really didn’t like it he thought we were going to crash!!

Since I had a Itzadozie at BB I wanted one at Epcot!! Mum said I could have one and then we couldn’t find one anywhere. :( So I got really grumpy!!




Yeah Jess got a real grump on because we couldn’t find her a lollipop, even though we hunted everywhere :headache:



We went back to POR and swam in the big pool

After we had a good swim we went back, got showered and changed and headed to MK!! We hoped onto the monorail and were off to 1900 park fare.

The characters we saw:

It was a buffet and I decided to have the same as Crystal Palace!!! I had pizza, salad and chicken nuggets. And mum had the strawberry soup, she said she really loved it!!! It looked disgusting and I thought it tasted that too!!!

The food and Characters were excellent and Anastasia stuck her tongue out whilst she was signing the autograph in my book. And the step mom and sisters were joking about that I had pooh on my autograph book!! I just laughed but that joke got boring after a while!!




It was my first time inside the GF since a child and we all fell in love with it and so want to stay there one day. The meal was great too, the buffet was delicious especially the desserts, they were not your average buffet desserts they were beautifully presented, individual things like Key lime tart, chocolate moose etc. The characters here were also fantastic especially the Step Sisters and Step Mother, we will definitely be back!



After we had finished our meal Ellie and Dad went back to the room to watch the new Cheetah Girls one world film as it isn’t out in England until 2009!! Whilst they were at the room Mum and I caught the monorail all the way to the Poly and met everyone there!! We had a fantastic time.

Us kids:

Originally I wasn’t going to go to the Tambu meet but as it was chucking it down with rain we weren’t going to go and watch Wishes so it gave me the chance to go and meet my DIS friends. I think they were all surprised to see me and we had so much fun!



Us kids were still running around at 9:15pm. By about 9:20pm Mum and I decided to head home and we went on the monorail with T, Andy, Maddie, Evan, T’s mum and Waldo. We went all the way to Mk and we all got off and headed for the bus bay. Whilst we were walking down the monorail’s path Maddie and I were chatting and holding hands walking all the way to our buses. Mum saw a bus at our bay so we ran the whole way to the end to the POR bus, it was about to go but it saw us running and waited. We had to stand up but we got home quicker!!

Tomorrow is the big FF2008 meet at Biergarten!!




BTW thanks to my Focker Friends for their photos which I pinched :rotfl:
 
lovely report today, shame on you for getting grumpy in the happiest place on earth Jess :rotfl2:
 
I always wanted to stay at Grand Floridian and finally for my 40th birthday we stayed for two weeks and it was not as good as I thought it would be. Strangely I much prefer Saratoga Springs, so that we why we bought into DVC.

Can't believe how many DIS meets you have. Mark, my DH would be tearing his hair out!

Sounds like a great day.


Susan
 

A great day (except for the rain!).
