First of all, I have no idea how I missed comments recently! So sorry! Love you all, and I didn't do it on purpose! Thank you for sticking with me and reading my nonsense and looking at my sappy pictures
!
There is actually a good reason that Ive been so long between updates its all my husbands fault
! Brandon has been editing these gorgeous wide-angle shots he took at Disney, and I didnt want to write one more update without them! Youll notice them sprinkled throughout the normal shots for the rest of the trip report, and if they dont transport you there, Im not sure what will.
Now, park DAY THREE!
We woke up bright and early Monday morning. I pretty much jumped out of bedit was Epcot day!! Epcot is the favorite park of the adults in our group, but the kids love it nearly as much. On this morning, both girls took a quick bath (Julia had to still wash out all that gunk from BBB) and were eating breakfast much faster than normal. We made it to Epcot and parked in a nearly-empty lot and began the walk in.
Along the way, Brynn was singing its a small world, and for the second time this trip, someone complimented her singing of the various languages. Or at least of the sounds of the languages. She was singing at the top of her lungs the whole walk in, and I hated to break it to her that today was not going to involve that ride. She got over it quickly, and soon we were seeing this:
The park was opening just a moment after we arrived, and I was at the front of the pack.
Did I mention that the park was pretty much empty? It was a 1.1 crowd level.
Wed already discussed the plan: get over to The Land Pavilion, grab children quickly, and make our way down for a rider swap pass. Seriously? I meant business. Thats me, front and center. Very focused.
We pushed the strollers to the new stroller parking and yanked the kids inside as fast as their little legs would take them! Okay, not really, but thats what this picture looks like!
Ahhhhhh .my favorite pavilion in my favorite park!
You know where we were headed
With baby as evidence, I grabbed a rider swap pass at the desk to the left of the entrance.
Now it was time to measure Miss Brynn for her first ever flight! She made it with lots of room to spare!
We clapped and high fived and made our way into the standby line. The wait was posted at 20 minutes already, which I just couldnt believeI was nearly first!but it took nearly that long. We did some waiting in our own style.
And finally, after multiple threats to my children about not playing with the chains and barriers, we made it to our flight! It was perfect, as usual, and we all loved it! I loved watching the girls duck at the golf ball part and Brynn cover her ears during the fireworks. They burst into applause at the end, which started the rest of the people clapping. It was wonderful.
Please dont think that Mamie and Sawyer were waiting around bored while we were riding. Oh, no! I might have forced Mamie to put Sawyer back in a stroller, cross Future World, and grab some Fastpasses for Test Track
. No time to spare!!
They were waiting inside when we exited the ride, and she took the girls back on for another turn at Soarin.
Not ones to waste time ourselves, we set out to accomplish a very serious task.
Strawberry Shortcake at Sunshine Seasons.
Yep. Perfection.
Brandon also got some sort of parfait thing, along with my Iced Mocha and a banana for Sawyer.
One happy mama.
Sawyer was in awe of the balloons overhead. Who am I kidding I was, too!
We also had these pretty babies that Mamie handed us on her way in.
It seemed to be taking forever for the ladies to finish the ride, so Sawyer and I sneaked over to the benches across from the bathrooms and he had some milk while I hoped for him to go to sleep. Didnt happen. But his shenanigans were well-timed, as we saw everyone exiting while we were over there.
Mamie was gushing about her first ride on Soarin and declared it her NEW favorite, over Splash Mountain the day before.
Now it was time for yet another favorite:
Keep reading! More just below this!

I have to admit that I didn't know how any of us would like it!
