Up with the wake up call at 7.45am. My newspaper hadnt been delivered so I had a walk up the corridor to see if anyone else had one, they didnt. Either the paper boy was late or you only get one on a weekday. Got ready and set off for Epcot. I wanted to ride the monorail so we got on the bus to the TTC, which was already at the bus stop, and then onto the monorail.
At Epcot we rode The Land and I found it interesting (I must be growing up) and then Test Track. The standby line was an hours wait so we went in the single riders line. We both got in the same car, me in front, Tricia in the back. Wait time was only 15 minutes. Watched Kristos who were brilliant. One thing that concerns me however is that they dont have any crash mats, if they were to fall they would be landing on concrete. Rode the Norway ride and bypassed the film. Started to head towards International Gateway as we were meeting people at Beaches and Cream. As we were passing through Canada we heard a CM at a cart laughing whilst telling someone I presume was an off duty CM that she had ruined someones vacation. I thought it was very professional to laugh about this in front of the guests, I would have done it behind closed doors.
We arrived at Beaches and Cream at 12.30pm to meet Udnylad (Morven) and his wife Suzanne and their children Kerri and Liam. We had met with them before in 2002 and we had been 90 minutes late as Tricia had been bitten by the spider and had to go to hospital. Anyway we were meeting them at 1pm so we were pleased to have gotten there early. They arrived at 12.50pm and we had a 20 minute wait for a table. I had the banana split sundae and Tricia had a Pineapple sundae which were great. Had a great chat with Morven and Suzanne and when we left them they were on their way to upgrade their tickets to APs. It was lovely to see them again. We headed back to Epcot as Tricia had seen a bag that would be suitable for us for getting the shopping home. She told me it wasnt a nice bright colour but it would do the job. Back into Epcot, found the shop and the bag. I thought it was a joke but no we bought it. Well Tricia paid for it while I hid behind a shelf, didnt want the CM to think I liked it. Its a khaki colour that looked really bad in the shops light. I will from now on be referred to as the minging bag.
Got the monorail to the TTC and then got on a bus to Wilderness Lodge. On the bus Tricia noticed she had some ice cream and a piece of pineapple stuck to her shorts. I laughed so hard, there was only one other person on the bus besides the driver, I sure hope they never got a complex. When we got back to the room we found we Bounkhom had made a beautiful swan towel today. No debate today it was definitely a swan.
Dumped minging bag in the room and went to hire some bikes to explore the resort. When we got to the rental place I suggested a surrey bike and Tricia turned the colour of the minging bag so I took that as a NO. Got bikes and cycled along the nature trail to Fort Wilderness. It was really enjoyable and peaceful, you forget there are theme parks nearby. Stopped at the petting zoo and had a look, I looked from a distance e.g. outside, as I dont do animals. When we returned the bikes at Wilderness Lodge CM Ryan asked if we were Scottish. I was most impressed. He told us his dad is Scottish and had just returned from a visit home. Turns out his dad is from East Kilbride so we chatted with Ryan about all the roundabouts in East Kilbride, this is Tricias favourite place for getting lost. Ryan agreed with us!!! He was a lovely boy. Sat on the beach for a while taking in the atmosphere and then got burgers from Roaring Forks and took them up to the room and ate them on the balcony and did some people watching. I felt like a goldfish, almost every person looked up at the balcony. Saw 4 elderly persons getting off the boat and told Tricia I had seen them going for the boat that morning. I hope they didnt see me because they wouldve thought I had been sitting there all day.
Decided to go to MGM. I was going to buy a 1000 piece jigsaw and a Mickey wearing a cute hooded jacket. I hadnt been going to get them due to lack of space but now we had the minging bag to fill. I entered MGM without a problem and turned round to see Tricia put her fingers in the scanning thing and then lift it (the scanning thing) right up. When she was eventually in we got a fast pass for Tower of Terror. The standby line for Rock n Rollercoaster was 70 minutes and there were no fast passes left. Went to Writers Stop and got a muffin and Tricia got some scrap booking things. It was soon our time for Tower of Terror so we headed over and had a 20 minute wait in the fast pass line. Went into Fantasmic stadium at 8.20pm and got a seat in the second last section at the left. After Fantasmic we stayed sitting until the crowds had left, a voice kept booming over the tannoy telling people to leave. A tour group with a little flag, all dressed in yellow chanted and clapped the whole way to the exit. Went into the shop to get my jigsaw. I had decided not to buy the Mickey as I really dont need him but when I went to get the jigsaw Mickey was sitting next to them and was looking at me with little sad eyes. I gave in and picked him up, Im sure he smiled. CM John put Mickey into the bag with his arms and head sticking out the top so he wouldnt suffocate.
On our way to the bus stop we were stopped in our tracks by another tour group. This one were dressed in white with a yellow and blue stripe. They had formed a circle at the side of the Caribbean Beach bus stop and were singing and clapping and chanting whilst two of their group did handstands in the middle of them. No-one could get past and did they move NO!!! They carried on screaming.
When we got back to the hotel I suggested we play 4 in a row, had bought it for the plane and never took it out the box. Tricia is good at this game so we played for about an hour because I HAD to win some too!!! Off to bed about midnight after setting wake up for 7.45am for our last full day.
No rain today.
