Allie-5

Ok, we tried but we could not make it out early again this morning, this is starting to be pattern which we repeat for most of the trip (usually we are up and out early). I guess because we were there for 10 days we could let the kids sleep alittle longer since we don't normally go back to the hotel in the middle of the day--we like to let the kids get exhausted(just kidding folks
)
Our plan is to park at Epcot and then monorail it over to the magic kingdom to do some stuff and then back to Epcot to finish the day. We have a 4:45 priority seating at the San Angel Inn--this is Dougs one restaurant he was "allowed" to choose, I don't really like Mexican so I would not have picked this one.
We get to Magic Kingdom at about 10:00, at the security check, doug once again has his camera bag checked throughly, while mine only gets a glance.
We head over to toon town because Sami wants to see Pooh bear, we head to the county bounty store for the character greet line and there is hardly a line for pooh bear, tigger and eeyore. The princess line was the longest. After we see pooh and friends, we get on the line for minnie mouse, chip and dale. Again no line. We ride the barnstormer and then head to meet Ariel. The line isn't too long but it moves soooo slow. We were the last family before Ariel took her break. While we were on line, Doug got us fast passes for pooh bear. The park is much more crowded then it was on Sunday but we muddle through and ride small world, pirates, after we use our fast passes on pooh, doug got them for 3 for splash mountain and 3 for thundermountain railroad. Doug, Dylan and Allie are using these. We split up and agree to use our 2 way radios to meet up later. Ryan, Sami and I rode small world again, looked for some more pennies and then stopped to see the new Cinderella show in front of the castle. I really like the new show and make a note that we will have to watch it again because Allie would enjoy it too. I turned on my two way radio at this point and could not believe how many other people you hear on them, of course not one of them was Doug. I never could find him because so many other people cut in on them. We finally find each other and I tell him I won't use those annoying things again, and when we split up to just pick and time and meeting place.(this worked best for us)
We rode Buzz lightyear and since it is almost 3, we decide to head over to Epcot. The parade is going down main street by the time we make it over and decide to watch it over people heads. I am determined next time to have a good spot!
We monorail it over to Epcot and after another security check and putting the six passes through, I am starting to feel bad for anyone on line behind us! We do not move fast with the four kids.
We have our picture taken by the photographer. I end up later purchasing the one of just the kids in front of the ball but not the one of the whole family(the photographer gave me a double chin in it
) We head to spaceship earth and notice at the end they updated the news part and now show the Yankess losing the world series 
By now its time for the San Angel Inn, We are seated pretty quickly. Doug enjoyed his meal, I ended up ordering off of the kids menu. This kids all ate their kids meals too. During the whole meal, an older couple kept staring at us, maybe we were too noisy? After the meal we went on the boat ride in Mexico and who do we see still eating the Older couple, of course they watch us go by!!
We come out and happen to catch the tapestry of nations parade, its the first time we have seen it. I thought it was ok. On to Norway where we rode the Troll ride, after this for the rest of the week sami kept asking to go on the troll ride.
We decide to walk around the countries and don't really do much in any of them. By the time we are done with the walk its time for one more ride on spaceship earth. The park is going to close so we decide to call it a night.
I feel we didn't do too much in Epcot, since future world closed at 7 and we did stay longer then we thought at the magic kingdom.
