On with the show:
Sept. 26: Monday, the day we save for MK. Woke up and checked the weather channel to see if we need to bring our PONCHOS. From previous trips I carry the heavy-duty ponchos and golf umbrellas but hey this time I wing it with a small one and thank goodness we did not need to use it at all. Got coffee with our free refill at the food court and grab some ice for my timmy tummy cup and off we go. After grabbing the map to locate where the counter services are we headed straight to Noodle Station. We never pay any attention to this corner since back then we are so focused to go to the Cool Station. We were one of the few 1st one who took advantage of their specialties. I had the Lo Mien, Choco Cake, a bottle of water and pot stickers for appetizer. My sister had the Noodle Soup ( sorry I forgot the name but it was good too since we share our food), fried rice for appetizer, ginger crème Brule and a big and I mean they gave her B I G cup of soda. So now lunch is out of the day off to see Philharmagic, Dumbo, Small World, the Three Great mountains, Haunted Mansion, a picture here a picture there. Then back to main street to check out the shops. Temperature was a lil high that we needed a scoop of Vanilla ice cream each. After all this activities it was only about 2:00PM. Can you tell ? We did not have a long wait at all in any of the rides. The most was at Astro Orbiter for about 15 minutes. But it was not bad since I was busy chit chatting with a girl named Kaileen. Apparently it was her 1st time to be in this ride and was a bit concern. We assure her that there is nothing to worry and grab my magic wand (bubble Minnie wands that I give out to any kid) and told her that if she ever feel anything to just blow her fear away. Well at the end she did not need to blow anything out. She did great! So, after we realize that we have a couple of hours before dinner we decided to go back to the hotel and take a nap for an hour which was a very long hour. A couple of hours later we finally got back to MK to have dinner at the CP around 7:00PM. By the time were done it was just in time for the Wishes Fireworks and we got the best sit in the house. My sister did enjoy our chosen spot for this was the 1st time we tried it close and personal. But in my case I was busy playing with my new friends. I grab a handful of lighted fan and hand it out to my little friends who were already restless after their long day. That kept them happy and so with there parents I think. One mother even offered her kid for me to take home, which I know she was just kidding. Very magical way to end our night at MK.
Sept. 27: Tuesday. Today was supposed to be our AK day again. Instead we hit Blizzard Beach. This was our 1st time here. It was not to busy which was great. We did the lazy river pool (I dont have my list of names please excuse my ignorance) and the wave pool. No water slides for me since prior to our trip I was in a mild car accident and afraid that I might aggravate my neck. When we turned prunie it was our cue to go home and relax before he go have our dinner at Boma and then to see Cirque Du Soliel. This was a new experience for me. After seeing the commercial of Alegria ( touring Cirque Du Soliel who was ones in Philadelphia) I was a bit leery in seeing any show. But my sister had longed to see it so I finally give in and I was glad that I did. It was a great show (except for the part where I fell asleep when they are running back in forth in the window of a bldg). After the show we walk a bit more and window-shopped. Somewhere in all this schedule we did our lunch at the Earl of Sandwich again.
Sept.28: Wednesday is a good day. We started our day heading straight to Soarin. We were a bit curious and did not know how to act by the time we got to the end of our line. We were lucky enough to get to row number 1. It was so real, you can smell the ocean when we pass trough it, oranges when we pass the orange groves and felt like touching the clouds when we were soaring! We wanted to do it again but the line got a bit longer so off to the innovations to have our picture taken with Mickey courtesy of Bank One Visa. A great one on one, I know we get met and have our picture taken anywhere at the park but this time you get to really take your time, practice your smile with no pressure and hug Mickey and Goofy or whoever was there as much as you want! Thanks Bank One! Off to lunch at the world showcase, Dessert in Japan kakigori of course and some Milky bar in UK. Since there is nothing else we can think to do here at EPCOT we hop skip to Typhoon Lagoon! This was my favorite between 2 water parks. More shades while your floating your time away. And a bigger wave pool. Potsie even tried the snorkeling thing and she enjoyed it so much she did it 3x. In my case I dont know how to swim so I just watched patiently and scout some lifeguards!!! By the time we are both toasted we went back to ASMu took a quick shower and off to dinner at the 1900 Park Fare. We met the fairy Godmother and sad to say I was not able to bribe her with some candy to turn my sister into a pumpkin! Food was great, I whispered to Percy that it was my bday sister on Friday can she turn her into a pretty princess even for one day but instead she gave her a delicious cup cake, a signed place mat by all of the character there and a C R O W N !! Her own crown!!! Mind you my sister is not the girlie girl but she was so excited to wear that crown! Thanks Percy and Pearl!!! OK we have some minutes to kill till we head back to EPCOT for our Illumination Dessert Party. This was very stressful for me since the weather turned UGLY on us. I have 23 other Diser who are joining us for this gathering and the Mother Nature decided to PMS arrgghhhhh . After a series of calls to our rep for the party I marched myself to the entrance of UK at the World Showcase. After praying to all the gods I know and have heard off the fireworks went of with out a hitch. But since there was gusty winds we were not able to have our dessert the same time as the fireworks but instead was directed to the lounge of Spaceship Earth! Kinda neat since I was never inside of any of this bldg other than last April when we did the Segway tour. After meeting each and everyone and thank god they were nice enough not to kill me I can say that the night did end well. Went back to the hotel and finally got a very peaceful couple of zzs
