HAD AN EARLY START AS WE HAD TO CATCH THE TRANSFER TO EPCOT TO GET TO ANIMAL KINGDOM BT COACH.
WE ARRIVED JUST BEFOR OPENING AND IT WAS COLD, BUT THE SUN WAS THREATENING TO COME OUT. THE GATES OPENED AND JUST INSIDE WERE SANTA GOOFY, PLUTO AND DAISY.
AFTER RICH HAD COME BACK FROM HIS DESIGNATED SMOKING AREA WE HEADED STRAIGHT TO THE SAFARI RIDE. I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE PACKED BUT WE WALKED STRAIGHT ON. I THOUGHT THIS RIDE WAS GOOD ALTHOUGH A LITTLE SHAKY AS THE JEEP RIDES OVER THE PLAIN LANDS. THE VIDEO FOOTAGE WE TOOK HIS VERY JUMPY. MY PHOTOS WERE QUIET GOOD AS WE WERE AT THE BACK OF THE JEEP AND HAD A BETTER ANGLE.
LEAVING AFRICA WE HEADED TO ASIA AND THE WATER RAPIDS. BEING A MOM I WAS PREPARED WITH THE PONCHOS. GOOD JOB I DID AND AS I COULDN'T SEE BEHIND ME AND A HUGE AMOUNT OF WATER FELL INTO MY LAP. SHANE AND RICH STAYED ON FOR A SECOND BATTERING. I WAS STILL WE AND HAD ANOTHER PAIR OF WEY KNICKERS. SHANE WAS SOAKED FROM THE WAIST DOWN AND WAS WALKING VERY PECULIAR.
ONTO DISCOVERYLAND WE GOT TO SEE THE GREATNESS OF THE TREE OF LIFE IN ALL ITS GLORY, WE TRIED TO COUNT HOW MANY DIFFERENT CREATURES WE COULD SEE. THE BUGS LIFE RIDE WAS OK, WE SAT STRAIGHT AT THE FRONT AND DIDN'T GET THE WHOLE EFFECT AS IT WAS BLURRY.
AFTER THAT I SAW TIGGER SO IJUST HAD TO QUEUE FOR A PHOTO, HEN I SAW A SIGN LEADING US TO POOH, PIGLET AND MY FAV EEYORE, I RAN UP AND HUGGED EEYORE FOR A WHILE, HE HIS SO CUTE.
WE NOTICIED THAT TARZAN ROCKS WAS ABOUT TO START SO WE RAN TO THE SHOW. IT WAS QUIET GOOD, ACROBATICS MIXED WITH SINGING AND SKATING.
I HADN'T HIT THE SHOPS YET SO I MAD UP FOR IT IN DINOLAND.
IT WAS NEARING PARADE TIME SO IN TRUE DISNEY FASHION WE WENT TO FIND A SEAT. I ENDED UP SITTING BY SOME OTHER DIS MEMBERS - CRAZYABOUTDISNEY SO THAT WAS NICE. THE PARADE WAS REALLY GOOD.
THE PARK SHUT AT 5 AND OUR BUS WAS AT 6 SO WE HAD TO LEG IT TO EPCOT. THE 1ST 3 BUSES WERE PACKED SO WE WERE REALLY PUSHING IT AND FINALLY LEST AK ABOUT 20 MINS TO SPARE.
WE MADE IT BACK AT 6:10 AND LUCKILY OUR BUS WAS LATE. THE DRIVER WAS ALWAYS LATE SO THAT WAS SMALL MERCY.
DAY 8
ANOTHER EARLY MORNING (WASN'T THEY ALL). WE WERE HEADING FOR EPCOT SO WE GOT THE EARLY TRANSFER AGAIN, THE E WERE FEW PEOPLE WAITING SO THEY OPENED THE DOORS AT 8:45.
WE WENT STRAIGHT INTO THE SPACESHIP EARTH RIDE. THAT WAS ENJOYABLE RIDE THRU TIME, SPACE AND COMMUNICATION. THEN IT WAS TIME TO EAT AS WE KEPT SKIPPING BREKFAST.
THE BOYS WANTED TO GO STRAIGHT TO TEST TRACK BUT THOUGHT IT WISE TO LET THE FOOD GO DOWN FIRST. BUT STUPID ME WENT AND DID BODYWORKS. I CAME OUT FEELING SO ILL I HAD TO GO REST AND TAKE AIR WHILST THE OTHERS WENT TO WATCH A SHOW. I HAVEN'T FELT RIGHT SINCE THAT. I AM USUALLY FINE ON SIMULATERS BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT CAME OVER ME. I COULDN'T FACE ANOTHER. I HAD TO SIT OUT TEST TRACK TO.
DID THE REST OF THE FIRST HALF AND ONTO SHOWCASE THE BIT I WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO. I WAS A BIT DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS AS IN THE VIDEO IT SHOWS LOTS OF DRESSING UP IN COSTUMES AND I DIDN'T SEE ANYONE REALLY ONLY THE CHINESE DRUMMERS. IT WAS MAINLY RESTURANTS AND AS FOR THE TAPESTRY OF DREAMS PARADE THAT WAS VERY REPETATIVE.
AT THE CANLELIT DINER SHOW WITH CHRISTMAS CHOIR WS THE MAN WHO PLYS UNCLE PHIL IN THE FRESH PRINCE, SO THAT WAS NICE TO SEE HIM. THE ONKLY CHARACTERS WE SAW WERE THE HUNCH BACK IN FRANCE. DON'T GET ME WRON I AM GLAD I WENT BUT THINK IT COULD BE MISSED OUT NEXT TIME. IN ENGLAND YOU COULD BUY SAUSAGE ROLL, BEANS AND CHIPS FOR $14. NEEDLESS TO SAY WE SKIPPED THAT.
OUR TRANSFER WOULD OF MADE US MISS THE FIREWORKS SO I DIDN'T WANT TO HANG AROUND AS I WOULDN'T WANT TO LEAVE DURING. WE WERE GOING TO TRY AND GET TO DOWNTOWN DISNEY BUT THERE WAS NO BUSES FROM EPCOT, SO WE GOT A TAXI BACK TO THE HOTEL.
THERE WAS A SUBWAY BY OUR HOTEL THAT WAS HANDY.
DAY 9
LIE IN DAY, IF THATS WHT YOU CALL GETTING UP AT 8 O CLOCK.
PONDEROSA WAS OUR VENUE FOR THE FIRST PART. IT WAS PELTING DOWN SO IT WAS A SHOPPING DAY. AFTER FILLING UP AON AN AMERICAN ENGLISH BREAKFAST IT WAS TIME TO VENTURE OUT IN THE RAIN.
THE MECARDO WAS PRACTICALLY OPPPOSITE SO THERE WE WENT. NOT A LOT WAS OPEN BUT WE WERE GOING TO THE TITANIC EXHIBITION. I AM A BIG FAN OF THE SHIP AND MY BATHROOM IS DECORATED NAUTICALLY WITH TITANIC MEMROBILLIA AND THIS WAS A GOOD PLACE TO GET MORE. A IRISH GUIDE TAKES YOU ROUND AND THERE ARE ARTIFACTS FROM THE SHIP, AND LETTERS FROM SURVIRS WHO HAD ME WELLING UP. I THOUGHT IT WAS WELL THOUGHT OUT AND A MUST FOR ALL FILM BUFFS AND FANS.
THE RAIN WAS NOT LETTING UP AND THE SKY WAS DARK BUT WE CARRIED ON REGARDLESS TO ANOTHER INSIDE ENTERTAINMENT VENUE WONDERWORKS. THE UPSIDE HOUSE ON THE I-DRIVE. IT WAS LOTS OF FUN IN THERE. I LIKED ALL THE HANDS ON STUFF . I ESPECIALLY LIKED THE DISCO WALL, I DID LET MYSELF GO AND BOOGIE ON DOWN. RICH DID THE VERTUALL ROLLER COASTER BUT I DIDN'T WANT TO RISK MY TIMMY EXPLODING.
STILL NO LET UP ON THE RAIN SO WE WENT ONTO FAO SHWARTZ AS IT WAS ALL CLOSE. SHNE TREATED HIMSELF TO A FEW THINGS.
WE DECIDED AS WE WERE SOAKED WE WOULD CARRY ON AND GO TO THE BIG MCDONALDS. OUR CLOTHES WERE STUCK TO US AND I WAS HAVING ANOTHER WET KNICKER EPISODE. SHANE HAD A PLAY ON THE BIG ROPES AND SLIDES. I COULDN'T WAIT TO GET BACK TO THE HOTEL AND GET DRY AND SLEEP.
WE ARRIVED JUST BEFOR OPENING AND IT WAS COLD, BUT THE SUN WAS THREATENING TO COME OUT. THE GATES OPENED AND JUST INSIDE WERE SANTA GOOFY, PLUTO AND DAISY.
