Disney Studios and Epcot


We had breakfast at Denny’s this morning and all ate well for $36 incl tip.

All the way to MGM Gianni was psyching himself up to ride both Tower of Terror and R N R C. He was very nervous whilst we were queuing and it required much patience from me not to make him wait outside! In the end he loved them both so much that he rode both a second time! I was SO proud of him.

We took our time walking towards to Motor Stunt Ride but the next show was an hour away at 3.55 and we decided that we were too hot to watch it and were happy that we’d seen it in DLP so decided to give it a miss.

We had lunch at the ABC Commissary – Enzo and I shared a burger, Gabs had fish n chips and Gianni had nuggets and chips. The kids’ meals also came with some sliced apple and a soft drink each. Total $15. I thought the kids’ meals were good value at $3.99 each (you’d never guess which receipts I found in the bottom of my bag when we got back home!)

We pulled in Who Wants to Be a Millionaire before deciding to leave.

Gianni was feeling so hyped up about riding T O T and R N R C that he wanted to go to Epcot to ride Mission:Space!

Ever the accommodating parents, we took a bus to Epcot just for Gianni!

Enz had a headache (yeah yeah) and Gabs was feeling sickly so it fell to me to take my nervous son onto the ride. Again it was the constant questions ‘does it do this’ ‘does it do that’. I’m so glad that there wasn’t a queue here because we got onto the ride quickly! As soon as the door closed Gianni pipes up ‘can I get out’ to which I reply ‘nope’. Of course by the time we ‘landed’ he loved it and wanted to ride again! I thought twice on the trot might be a bit much so we just played the space game a couple of times in the exit area.

We needed to make our way back to the Villa to start packing. We stopped off at Publix on the way back because there were a few bits and bobs I NEEDED to buy to bring back to the UK – more shampoo and conditioner – I know this makes me sound like a saddo but I truly was surrounded by many British women in the haircare aisle all doing the same thing! Wanted to grab a box of Oreos to bring home – BOGOF – oh well I’ll find room in the cases! Lots of Reeses Peanut Butter Cups, pancake mixes and cornbread mixes and Enz had to drag me to the tills lol

I wanted to do the online check-in again so dropped the boys off at the villa and collected all the paperwork and headed to the Best Western on the 192 which has an internet café. Again this was very quick and I bookd sets 62 A & C and 63 A & C.

When we got back to the villa the kids played in the pool, I started packing and Enz went to Mia Pizza to get pizza, salad and garlic bread for us all.

We finally made it to bed at about midnight.
 
Another great day ~ Thanx for posting :goodvibes
 
Funnu but we sometimes get nervous going on a ride for the 1st time, well when we get chance with Joshua taking us on all the kiddie rides that is.
