Destination: Epcot
(This by the way was the last time I'd be seeing the Wand. Bye Wand!!

)
We got our Stitch

and Mickey

wake-up call, well I didn't answer it, but Bre did.

It was next to impossible to wake the minions up, but they did wake up and the great thing about boys is they get ready in like 10 seconds.

We have some cereal and cereal bars and stuff for breakfast and we're out the door, later than I wanted, but we're out.
First we have to stop at the Carriage House to buy everyone's park tickets (except mine since I have my lovely AP

). We take the bus over; buy our tickets and head out to the bus stop to grab the next bus to Epcot. We get there right as the park was opening, so not too bad.
Here's Bre and the minions with the mandatory Epcot pic.
I tell everyone to wait for me by Spaceship Earth and recruit Ivan to come with me to get FPs for Soarin'. We run all the way to the land and back in no time and that was my exercise for the day.
We regroup and there's no wait for SE, so we head into there. Minion #2 had taught Minion #1 the day before how to do those really loud whistles with you fingers in your mouth and he kept on annoyingly doing this all morning.

Meanwhile his mother and I kept telling him to stop, but does he listen? Nooooooo.

The point of this? Well
As we're being seated in our SE buggy thingy he decides to whistle inside. The CM goes up to him and scolds him and tells him there's no whistling inside.

It was awesome!! Alright CM!! Needless to say, as soon as we got off the ride he started up again. Ugh.
I haven't ridden SE in like 6 years and I missed it April. All I have to say is I'm glad they're refurbing this ride. I was little scared climbing up the Epcot ball. Still love the whole theme of the ride though.
We then decide to head on over to Nemo:
Smile Ivan!!
There was no line and we were soon in our little clamshells:
Still a fun ride, it's short but very cute. We took a pic with Bruce:
Explored the aquariums and stuff for awhile until it was time to watch Turtle Talk with Crush, which as usual was hilarious. The boys really enjoyed that, so that was cool to see, now I kinda know what parents with kids feel like when they see their kids enjoying themselves.
After we get out of The Living Seas it was time for our Soarin' FP and it was now freaking Hot as Balls!! It's around 11:30 ish and the stand-by wait time for Soarin' was already 70 min.!!!
So we pass all the losers
.err people in stand-by

and we are soon directed to stand on our little gold hang gliders. This time we got 2nd row, which had less feet than the 3rd row view I got in April.
As soon as the ride started my cousin Bre started freaking out! Like big time freak out, near panic attack. She grabbed onto my mom's arm and buried her head in her shoulder screaming Aye Titi!!!! (Titi=Aunt in Spanish pronounced teetee, So Oh my god Auntie!!!) Over and over again, it was hilarious!

My mom kept telling her that we weren't really moving and trying to calm her and so did Minions #1 and #2 who were sitting to the left of her (mom was on the right) I was next to mom and Minion #3 was next to me. Anyhoo somewhere around the Orange Groves of California she finally calmed down. It was still funny though and we all started making fun of her afterwards!

Mom loved

the ride and asked if we could ride again, so I told her we'd see how the FPs are for later.
So it's around noon-ish and our ADR isn't until 1:00 pm.
What to do next
