We have altered our plans for MeMom's birthday. They now include not only all four parks but also a trip to the AKL for zebra domes. I just might have to bring a candle with me!
Hey, I don't want wax in my zebra dome!!!
Besides that, I'll probably be eating them so fast you won't have time to stick a candle in them.

Yay its always nice to be there in spirit!
Wow the 'rents look super relaxed. I'm jealous!
Great Fireworks shots. I love that the angle shows the clock.
Thanks on the fireworks shot! They definitely relaxed on the cruise!
Haha I love that idea!! I can't believe you are doing all 4 in a day!

We woke up and headed to Roaring fork for some breakfast! Just walking around the WL in the early morning, I can't express how much I love it here!!!
We were running a bit behind so we ended up making it to Epcot 10 minutes after opening but learned something in the process. It is so much more relaxed a few minutes after! Instead of feeling like you're in a race or getting trampled, its just an easier walk to FP Soarin (or whatever) and much calmer!!
We trotted over to Soarin to get our FP and than headed to FW West to get on Test Track and Mission Space. I love some of these shots on Test Track!!
One of Davids favorites is MS so we were headed there next. This ride is a lot of fun even if you go on the less intense version (we tried that one with mom/dad later on!) So if you are skeptical I say go for it, its very similar to Soarin except youre in a closed space
We saw the Jammitors outside and stopped to watch, David loves music and I just love them i think they are so good! We both really enjoyed this.
On our way back to FW East, we stopped in innoventions to sign up for Kim Possible, I was really really looking foward to this!! I had talked it up to David for a while! It works like a FP machine, it gives you a time (anytime after the appointed time works too, just not before) and a place in the WS, ours was between England/France.
We used our FP for Soarin, and waited some time because we wanted to sit front row, but when we got on the scents weren't working properly so David was a little dissapointed.

Next we headed to The Seas. At this point David was becoming more and more eager to use my camera, he really enjoyed using the SLR, so unlike other trips, I am in a lot more photos because he kept wanting to take pictures!
We talked turtle with Crush (we both agreed this time paled in comparison to the last time we visited this attraction) and than headed to davids favorite place club cool. Imagine this since opening "can we go to club cool, can we go to club cool, can we go to club cool..." YES DAVID SHUT UP WE CAN GO!
We freshened up and headed out to the WS, the flower and garden festival topiaries are just Amazing!!
We wanted to get over to the International gateway for the KP adventure, so we skipped over a few, but got there just a few minutes shy. We walked around England (I just love this pavillion and the people in it!) and ended up chatting with a CM in the sports shoppe where the candy is (just to give you a nice visual, haha!) We asked him what his favorite candy is, and what the signature candy of England is etc. We had a nice conversation with him and its where we decided we were going to....."DUN DUN DUN"
CANDY AROUND THE WORLD
AKA the non-alcoholic version of
DRINKING AROUND THE WORLD
when traveling with a very eager and sugar hungry minor.
Unfortunately, our WS attempts to do this would fail throughout the vacation, but we vowed next we are here to do this!! We still tried an English treat!
We started making masks with time to spare, and than finally it was time for the WS adventure!!
OMG this was so much fun, we had a BLAST!! Our assignment was in France (So i'm assuming the pavillion you go to isn't far from where you get your Kimmunicator)
Seriously, I can't speak highly enough of this!! There are some really funny photopass pictures that were taken of us "in action" We're looking down at the kimmunicator, all of a sudden I hear shutter and flashes and i'm like "huh? what?" I look up and theres a photopass photographer taking pictures and says "You can't be too careful, there are us evil spies EVERYWHERE" How cool is that?? Why can't people be more like him, I think photopass would be 10x better if a lot of it wasn't posed, but I guess they would waste a lot of digital space that way with people not wanting the photos or something. Back on the mission, we helped Kim Possible find the bad guy!
And now we were hungry. To America!!
i was really looking forward to the apple pie here I love it, but I was sad to see they exchanged it for a generic apple tart they give out at every other CS place. I was upset because we were really interested in eating at a different country, but I wanted to eat here because of the apple pie.
After lunch we decided to head back for some nap time, but since we were still planning on
CANDY AROUND THE WORLD
we stopped in Italy to look at candy.
Than we took the boat to FW.
There was a butterfly garden set up which was really nice, took some great shots. And who can forget to go on Spaceship Earth??
Coming up next, the WL arcade, more WL photos (and video!) dinner at Kona (yum!) and DHS EMH!

Glad you're here now! My parents read what you had of the cruise TR before they left!
Hey thanks for the comments re Kim Possible. Do you think DS would enjoy it? It's one of my fav showsbut I think it might be fun for us all!
I think he would absolutely love it! When we were at Mexico there were so many kids doing it, and they were having an awesome time!

Hey everyone! Sorry I haven't been very active on the boards. I was recently having some computer issues, but now everything is a-ok!
In response to MeMom's question, Of course I was thinking of you guys when I was eating the Zebra Domes! There wasn't a moment in the trip when we didn't think of you.

So we relaxed in the room a bit, but we had so many arcade cards burning a hole in our pockets so we headed through the WL and into the arcade!
After our allotted 30 minutes of play, we headed back to the room, and freshened up for dinner!
David's Thoughts: That WWII game is so much fun I play this in all the Disney hotel arcades
Tonight was our favorite, Kona Cafe! We took the boat to the contemporary (love the WL!) than the monorail to the poly and headed in.
The DVC tower for those interested!
We started off with some sticky wings, and of course the bread they bring you which just melts in your mouth its so good!
I had the NY strip (SO YUMMY!) and david had his favorite Coconut Almond Chicken.
We finished up with some cheesecake and lava cake, and once again Kona did not dissapoint! Its definitely on the "each and every trip" list!
Tonight was EMH at DHS and we were really looking forward to going on RnR coaster and ToT at night!
I love sitting at the Poly bus stop (or the GF bus stop) and pretend I am staying there, one day I will, but for now its always a fun game to look like you belong!
I pretty much named TSM untouchable so we were going to relax and just hit those 2 major rides! David has a new love for roller coasters and has always loved rock music so this would soon turn into his favorite ride!
Snapped this for Chelsea (Charleston Princess's DD)
The finale show for AI was going on so we stopped and watched that on the big screen for a bit.
The park was still open so in an effort to let crowds die down, we headed into Animation Academy! Now I love doing this, but David (and mom) both have a hard time and thus get frustrated. Lucky for us, there was a HILARIOUS guy sitting next to me having a hard time as well, and a rambunctious family of like 13 which kept the laughter going. The guy sitting next to me went from calling his Donald Duck "Mickey" (cuz it looked like a mouse) to "sort of a duck" to calling it "King Mickey Duck" (he thought donalds hat looked like a crown) In the end I don't think I did too shabby, but David called his drawing Monald the (well i'll live it there as it would be inappropriate)--Donalds evil twin.
When we got out the park had closed and we headed over to ToT. There was a 20 minute ToT wait and a 30 minute RnR wait. We went to ToT hoping that the line for RnR would get shorter. While waiting in line for ToT, we met a couple behind us that we chatted with about south park and family guy and we had a lot of fun with them. We got split up on the actual ride but that was a fun way to wait! Be careful if you're around us we'll make friends with just about anyone we have no reservations of just talking to you!

Now the moment we had been waiting for, RnR!! The wait was actually practically walk on, it was just walking over to the pre show and the small wait that came after that. and VROOM! we were off.
David's Thoughts: That was the most amazing line i've ever waited in, i love that line
David loved this! (So did I!) He wasn't expecting the take off to be so intense but we still had a great time on this ride.
We decided to walk around to TSM but of course it was too long of a line and we rounded the corner to the Streets.
THEY WERE EMPTY!! We were so creeped out by this, we had the entire street to ourselves! Photo op!
It was really strange walking around without anybody around, but definitely fun! The rockstar posed in front of the AI poster
and we made our grand exit back home to the WL!
We had a long day ahead of us, we took Fauntleroy's advice and decided to wake up for the BB opening, would we conquer Summit Plummit??

I showed Chelsea your pic of Bo! She was so excited! She even talked to the computer screen, "Hi, Bo, see you soon!"
Love the pic of David stretched out on the ground!
