Walt Disney World Vacation Day 3: 3/17/02

[Stepman]

We got up pretty late today, around 12:00. My whole family and I took our time getting dressed and heading out the door. We went down to concierge to get some quick snacks. The food here is alright. The best snack has to be the 'uncrustables' sandwiches. It basically consists of peanut butter and jelly on a white pita bread wihtout any crust, it's great. We left our building and walked to the TTC. It's a nice walk. We got on the monorail to Epcot we were off. We got into the park and our first ride was Ellen's Energy Adventure. Always a great ride, my Epcot favorite. After that we got some fastpasses for Test Track since it was a 75 minute wait as usual. We had three hours until we were allowed to go in. So we went around World Showcase for the three hours. We stopped at every pavillion. First Mexico, we did the El Rio De Tempo Ride and browsed around the shops. In Norway, we did the Malstrom and in China we got a couple of egg rolls and I got a strawberry smoothy. I brought some Chinese statues. Really cool looking. Then we just went through the rest of the countries. The japan shop is the greatest. We made our way to United Kingdom. My dad brought green beer since it is St. Patty's Day. He got me a glass of smiroff ice. Yes I'm 18, but its Disney, so no one cares. After about three hours we made our way to Test Track. The ride was so good.
We were starting to become tired so we headed on back to the entrance, but before we did, we went on Spaceship Earth. After that we took the monorail back to the Poly. We got in our room and mostly everyone of us fell asleep. I got up at around 7:00 and we all wanted to go back to the Magic Kingdom. We took the resort monorail to the park and we were inside at 8:00. We rode Space Mountain, Buzzlight Year's Spaceranger Spin, Splash Mountain, Big Thunder Mountain, Pirates of the Caribbean, and Jungle Cruise in less than two hours! We were exiting the park and we got a quick bite at Casey's Corner. We got back to the hotel and we all past out. Tomorrow we are doing MGM and Magic Kingdom E-night.

I was just curious.....alright I'm being nosy

Did your parents get up at noon too? I wish I could sleep past 6, but I NEVER can no matter how late I've been up the night before. It's a Disney Excitement Thing with me, I get so much energy when I'm there.

My Dad usually gets up early, but when he did during the mornings was go to I think the Palm or Magnolia golf courses and shoot around at the driving range. My Mom for some reason got up the same time we did. It's probably cause of the heat. Coming from 34 degree weather to 90 degree in one day is pretty hard.

Are you a college student on break or a senior in high school? Just curious.It's so nice to hear and see the older kids go with the parents sometimes. My nineteen year old college student son isn't interested in going to Disney . I don't understand why? Too bad for him.
