Lauren and I had an ADR for the PSB in Norway. Lloyd isnt a big breakfast eater so he passed, even knowing that Jasmine was probably going to be there! He decided to hit the Ralph Lauren store at the outlet mall instead. We had originally plan to go at park opening and ride Soarin and Test Track again, but we decided later to sleep in. Our ADR was for 10:15 and we went to the Boardwalk souvenir shop before walking over to Epcot. As we entered Epcot, we stopped along the way to take a few pictures in the UK and Canada. We were called fairly quickly, had our picture made with Belle, then were taken to our table. I had some orange juice and Lauren got chocolate milk. I started on the cinnamon rolls, which were still warm. I couldnt convince Lauren to try them. Our server brought out the fruit, eggs, and bacon. The bacon was good and crispy like we like it. The scrambled eggs werent good at all. Lauren did ask for a fried egg and they were able to make her one. It took a while, but the princesses finally came around. We saw Ariel, Mary Poppins, Sleeping Beauty, and Lloyds favorite, Jasmine. Next, we backtracked to the Mexico pavilion and rode the boat ride. Parts of it remind me so much of If You Had Wings. Lauren was ready to start her Kidcot mask so we grabbed one in Mexico and she added some details. We continued through the countries, stopping at each station. Lloyd met up with us in Germany so he could eat at Somerfest again. Lauren worked on her mask while he ate and I visited with him. We stopped at the American pavilion so I could watch the Fife & Drum. I think they are so awesome. Lauren went on ahead to Japan so she could get a front row spot to watch Miyuki the Japanese candy artist. We joined up with Lauren just before show time and she was the first person picked. She had a blue tiger made. Miyuki is just fascinating to watch! We continued on our mask adventure, but didnt make it too far, before we were sidetracked by the pastries in France again. We shared a Napoleon and got some elephant ears for later. Lloyd went back to return the car and head to the pool and Lauren and I were determined to finish the mask. We stopped in the UK and saw Rabbit again, then continued on to Canada. I really wanted to see O Canada!, but couldnt convince Lauren, so we went back to the room to swim and rest. Lauren got interested in The Happiest Millionaire starring Fred McMurray that she had checked out from the Community Hall. Its a cute movie. I met Lloyd at the pool and we never convinced Lauren to join us. MK was open late this evening and Lloyd had never seen Wishes except from Ohana on our previous trip. We grabbed a bite to eat on the Boardwalk and we wont do that again. Lauren had a corn dog that was passable and we had pizza from Spoodles. It was swimming in tomato sauce and we just didnt really care for it. After we got to MK, we went to the Hall of Presidents. Next, we got FP for Pooh since we didnt get to it earlier in the trip. We went back to ride the Haunted Mansion, then I watched the Country Bear Jamboree while Lloyd & Lauren looked in the pin shop. We went on around to get FP for Splash and rode the train to Toontown to get to Pooh. After our ride on Pooh, we walked right into Mickeys PhilharMagic. When we got out SpectroMagic was making its way toward Frontierland, so we got behind the crowds and made our way to the Sleepy Hollow to buy a funnel cake. Then, we made our way to Main Street. Lloyd did not understand why we had to be right in front of the castle, but I kept telling him to trust me. Once the show got underway, he understood. It was absolutely magical. Wishes is the best fireworks show ever. Remember at Disneyland doesnt hold a candle to it. We decided we were too tired to go back to Splash and walked through the Emporium to pick up a license plate for my brother and a couple of scrapbooking stickers. We caught the bus and headed back to BWV and bed.

(Just my own little quirk-makes it hard for me to follow I guess)
