Yay for fairly short lines at Epcot that morning!!

I saw those TT singers on YouTube, they seems more confusing than entertaining! I guess it was a cute idea though!

I love early mornings at Epcot. It like to get Future world out of the way so I can get over to World Showcase.

I guess they thought they HAD to do something there. I dunno. At least they are giving someone a job and that is good. It was weird though.

Test Track singers ?? Weird.

Cool that you got to see the characters right away with no line !

Totally weird.

We have never tried the Epcot Character Spot before because the line was always so insane, so we were happy to have gotten the opportunity to see them with no wait. Good stuff !!

Day two – Part TWO

Next, we headed over towards the Land

First we rode Nemo.

Then Soarin’ !!! My favorite !!

We listened to Kronk get us ready and then we rode the best ride EVER !! I just love it !!

Then it was over to Figment.

This is a really crappy photo, but there is something about the colors that I like.

See the Pluto hat ?? DD was getting really whiny and bratty. I knew it was because she was hungry, but I didn’t want her to snack so soon before our ADR and be too full to eat. So I bribed her with this hat. Yeah, I know … not my proudest parenting moment. But it worked. She perked and was good, so I got her the hat. Chose your battles ladies …..

After Figment, it was a little after 11 AM. Or ADR was for 11:30 AM, So I wanted to head over to World Showcase.

Yep. She’s happy now.

They still had the playground up from the Flower and Garden Festival, which I think is a good thing. I imagine the equipment gets super hot though, so I am not sure how long it will be there.

 

[Pixie Princess]

Yes ...... I have that app. I just need to USE it. That would help. I just need my taste buds removed. I'm convinced they are the culprits !!

Ditto.

 

[Pixie Princess]

That whole singing thing was stupid. People were just standing there looking at the with this confused look on their faces. I am pretty sure it mirrored mine.

I love Gary Chinese !!! I really do. I wonder if it will be the same we are there for Thanksgiving.

Isabella Rosellini is the narrator over Thanksgiving Weekend. And the next week is ..Neil Patrick Harris! I told Katie she might have to miss a few days of school. I really want to see him narrating. I think he is Monday - Thursday following Thanksgiving.

But don't MOVE your trip. We will be there Tuesday thru Sunday and VERY much want to see you there !!!

It's hard not to have a good time on Soarin'.

Can't wait to see where yall ate!

 

[Pixie Princess]

I'm shocked you're not in to the Test Track All-Starts! I love them. I could simply sit there the whole day and enjoy their melodious offerings.

No moving. I'd change the trip to be Tues. to Tues, but the headache of dealing with the school, plus there are band rehearsals for their Christmas show right after Thanksgiving. Not to mention dance rehearsals for The Nutcracker. It is just crazy. We'll be there Fri- Sat. or Sunday.

But the real fun is the Brave exhibit coming up. Seriously, my kids loved it.

Girl, that was funny. For realz. Bwahahaha.

DD loved that too! I was so glad we made sure to catch it. I bet it is crazy crowded now that the movie is out.

 

[Stringbean&Wingnut]

I'm always happy to see people visiting Figment in their TR's, I love that guy!!!

Awww I get grumpy when I'm hungry too. Hopefully your ADR was close!

We always see Figment. We just love it. DD knows exactly when to hold her ears and her nose. I have to hold my nose because that smell ....

We all get grumpy when we are hungry. I try so hard to get them to eat breakfast, but they just don't seem to want to eat breakfast. And I completely don't get it. I can't WAIT to eat when I get up in the morning !!

Day two – Part THREE

And across from the playground ….. we spied the Brave exhibit. The kids were really excited when we saw this and I gotta tell ya, so was I.

First you spun the wheel to see which family you would be representing.

The CM manning the wheel was very fun and cheerful and he had the same name as DS – Nathan. So we took a photo.

You got a button for which family you represented.

First up was the archery game.

Then there was a catapult game

Then there was a bean bag toss.

Then there was a log toss.

Sand Sculpture.

Banners

We all really enjoyed this exhibit. It was a great little surprise extra. After we were done with that, it was exactly the time for our ADR.

Now I'm really bummed we didn't make it over to Epcot for the Brave stuff. It looks like so much fun! Would love to say, next time, but I think it is only there for a few weeks.

We thought it was great fun. I am not sure how long it will be there. It is all the kids talked about during lunch that day. We are definitely trying the archery thing at FW in September when we go.

 

[marDgreen88]

That whole Highland Games setup looks amazing. I wish it would still be around when I go! I think they're taking it down mid-July though.

Have yall seen Brave yet? I LOVED IT.

I know my response to your response to this question will be, "oh too bad. We'll be there the week before/after you," but I'll ask anyway...when in Sept. are you going?
