Day 10 - Epcot

OK so after much discussion last night and the realisation we are just NOT going to be able to do everything, it is decided that instead of knackering ourselves out be PM and being fit to do nothing or enjoy anything after that time. We will instead take a break when its hottest and head back to the villa for a chill out and then go back out in the evening. We have an ADR for 8.05 at Arkershus for the Princess breakfast so we are all up and ready in no time. We decide to try the Sherbeth road cutoff today too. Brave aren't we,lol. We manage to negotiate the shortcut with no problems and feel quite pleased with ourselves. We are getting the hang of it aren't we?? We reach the entrance and are asked for our ADR info before being allowed through. I get Chelsea to stand in front of the huge Epcot sign and she looks tiny in front of it. Rebecca was in the buggy and there is no way I'm getting her out of it, lol

Fifteen minutes later we are royally called to our table. On the way in the girls pose with Belle for pictures and Chelsea is impressed because Belle says she knows her name and has met her before.

The breakfast was a buffet of salmon, salami, fresh fruit and pastries etc. We are brought a large serving of bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs and some potato thing,lol. We enjoy this breakfast but not for the food. If you go here expect only one mouthful before the princesses hit the table,lol. The princesses came round one by one taking the time to talk to the girls and pose for pictures. The girls loved the attention and were in awe again. If i had to choose between here and CRT for lunch I would probably still pick CRT. We are brought a photo to our table and it is $31.50. We just have to have it,lol. The bill was around $70 for the four of us and Rebecca was a freebie.

We left and decided to go and try out some rides. DH gets fastpasses for Test track ans we head to Soarin for a fastpass for there. DH keeps putting our tickets in and gets no fastpass. I read them and try to explain that we have to wait 2 hours for another,lol. At this stage we still cannot fathom the fastpass out. We que for the Nemo ride and this is an over an hour wait. It is extremely hot and we are glad when we get inside. The girls loved this so it was worth the wait. We done another few things before heading to Test Track. Again Chelsea didn't want to go so DH went alone. After he exited we went to collect fastpasses for Soarin before heading back for a break.

We had dinner at Sizzler's which was OK and then headed to the villa for a couple of hours. Feeling refreshed in the pool we all got ready and headed back to Epcot. We went to Honey I Shrunk the audience and were told that it was closed so done a couple of walk throughs. DH enjoyed mixing his DNA with the dinosaurs,lol. We headed for Soarin and entered the fastpass que. We asked for a child swap so that DH could go on with Chelsea after. Chelsea and I went in and I found this to be one of the highlights of the holiday. It was fantastic and even Chelsea loved it. On exiting we found DH and Chelsea was lucky enough to go on again. The CM had given Rebecca a free Born to Soar pass and said that we all got a free fastpass ride when she was tall enough. She was a little upset not to get on but we promised to stretch her for next time. We decided to tour the worlds and DH got a spell in the stocks and he looked right at home! We also locked the girls in the phone box while we went to the rose and crown for a booze up. I am joking! Really! Chelsea decided to soak me although it was welcome in the heat. After we toured the worlds we got some fish and chips and parked ourselves for illuminations. Rebecca had to be removed as she was very upset. The fireworks were very good but nothing compares to Wishes IMO. After the fireworks we headed back to the villa and for the first day we felt like we achieved a lot. The break also worked great for us especially with a 2 year old. At this point we are quite sad because half of our holiday is over and we are just figuring it all out!
