Day 4.
Up at 7 to get to EPCOT
Test Track wasnt working so we went to Soarin followed by Nemo and Turtle Talk with that cool dude, Crush.
By then Test Track was working and the queue was huge so we went in the single rider line and were loaded quickly. We love Test Track but the ride was very jerky and stop, start which was disappointing. We rode Soarin again with our fast passes before having lunch at the Seasons counter service (I had chicken and noodles and Kate had a tuna croissant).
We then went to Innoventions where I had a go on the recycling exhibit where I had to push a mini waste truck round whilst Kate went to the house where they have all the latest gadgets (cant remember what its called!).
We then made our way to the monorail and changed at the TTC and got to the Tambu Lounge at the Poly about 12.45 for the DIS meet at 1pm. Gradually people started to turn up and we spent a lovely couple of hours chatting there were about 12 of us and it was great to exchange experiences and chat about Disney of course. Annoyingly, I forgot to take many photos but others who attended were Hotfudgesundae, Epcots1stfave, Wifey, PaulaSB12,and Califlady - sorry if I have forgotten anyone.

A lovely cocktail - so great I can't remember its name!! I really wanted a Lapu Lapu but they had run out of pineapples!
We went for a rest back at BLT before heading out to our first MNSSHP about 6pm. DH had spent hours lovingly making our tshirts
lovestruc) even though he wasn't coming with us.
All rides were a walk on and there were loads of people dressed up in fantastic costumes. We took the opportunity to do all the rides in Fantasyland that usually have long queues.
Taken on Dumbo!
It was at this point where it rained for the first and last time this holiday. By the time we got our ponchos out, it had stopped!
We met the other DISers from the meet at 7ish to get a photo pass photographer to take a collective picture but we chose outside the castle to meet (not realising a show was about to start) and it was a bit chaotic - I didn't get the photo but Twilight Terror has posted it on the 20090922 UK Dis Meet thread. http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2185269
Kate, Renee (Califlady) and I wandered off to ride Haunted Mansion and watch the first parade which was excellent. Unfortunately neither Kate or I was feeling great that evening probably too many early starts with a bit of jet lag thrown in and we sat for about half an hour on the benches between Adventureland and the main hub waiting for Hallowishes to start.
Feeling a little revived after this, we went trick or treating. We found some great places for candy near Toontown and filled up our bags. Sadly we were too tired to stay any longer and we left the park at 10.30 and took the monorail back to BLT before crashing in to bed.
