This update is just Epcot. So lets get started!
Pic the of day before we set off.
In the car cuddling Stitch, she really loves him know. She is wearing her princess Minnie ears she got a few years ago from
Disneyland.
We decided that we wanted to do Magic Kingdom in the afternoon both days, as it is similar enough to DL that we don't need to see as much of it. Truthfully we spent most of the time in the Magic Kingdom in Tomorrowland anyway.
So off we went. Spent forever on the monorail. We parked at the MK and then did the monorails, I had hoped they had one direct, but no such luck. We told me dad that, but he misheard so we had to do somethings without him.
I noticed a line for meeting characters and of course Cassidy wanted to meet them...and Dev wanted to not meet them.
So at Epcot that day she met Mickey again
Then Pluto
Daffy
Minnie
And finally Goofy. He must have been some talker because he had the longest line out of all the characters in the room. Considering that Cassidy wasn't the wish kid and we already jumped a real long line to begin with I didn't mind waiting this little bit. A CM walked up to us, and told us to follow her, so we did. She brings us to the front and this guy is about say something and the CM just tells him "This is a Make A Wish child, sir" and he just clammed up. Then she turns to me, puts her hand on my shoulder and "People really do care". It made me smile a bit, and then she walked back to the end of the line we she found us.
This pic makes it look like Cassidy has a mustache.
The first ride we did was Test Track. Cassidy loved the fast part. I forgot how fast it feels, but it was fun. Does anyone else think the chemical test part smells the banana flavored candy smells?
Behold! The only picture of me you shall see.
Backrow is my brother in law Jesse, me, and Daniel
Frontrow is my sister in law Sara, Cassidy, and Devon
Devon did not enjoy it very much and begged off the 2nd time, claiming that he needed to use the restroom. It was me, Cassidy, Dev and my dad in line. So he missed the ride taking him and Dev still claims he really had to go, but my dad said that he didn't really.
Cassidy hanging out.
Hidden Mickey!
After Test Track we went Soaring. Now we had been on it before, at WDL, but my sister in law and her husband have never been on it because the lines are crazy long! We couldn't believe it would be that long, so we flashed the badge and got in the fast pass line. Last time we went on it Cassidy didn't like it, but it has been a few years and she really enjoys it now.
The big boys wanted to go on Mission Space. So we decided to try the lounge. That was a bit of challenge to find and then the CM's weren't aware that Wish Families could access it. We got in and boy was it amazing!
This is the view of the ride from the room.
They had a video postcard booth
The receptionist took Daniel and Jesse to a special line and they got a to jump ahead of quite a few people. They also both decided to do the more intense version as they were only going to be doing it once.
There is also a game that we never could win.
After that we toured about half the countries. We did the Mexico boat, got a churro, looked to a peak at all the countries up to Japan. Daniel served his mission in Japan, so he had to see it. We got the kids a shaved ice, and looked at the koi. I headed into the department store they have there and just had to get a Totoro and a Nekobasu (the cat bus from Totoro). For lunch we had it at the little restaurant up the steps from it and we had the best lunch ever. The curry there is soooo sooo sooo sooo good. I wish they had a kids meal of it because the kids love it at home. Dev ended up giving me the puppy dog eyes about how his lunch wasn't good and suckered my into giving him some of my yummy curry.
It was getting later than we planned so we head back the monorail and onto the MK.
Cassidy loves Lady and the Tramp we got a picture of her with topiaries.
This also when we did test track again and Dev didn't want to. We hit the monorail and that is a shorter story for a new post.
But here the is obligatory picture in front of the big ball
Yeah for a great update. Looks like you had a busy day at both parks.
