Wednesday 23rd September
We were up, ready and out by 9am I was impressed! We were heading to EPCOT today; we had the standard front of park picture
This was my favourite of the bunch! As we walked up Spaceship Earth had no wait which for a morning was surprising so we hopped on, this was one of the few my auntie and uncle did experience and really enjoyed last year so it was a must!
Look at them tights!
We walked further up and there was another photopass photographer beside a palm tree, he had nobody waiting so we decided to get some more done he was so funny and did so many shots he was really good I hope to see him again one day! We walked around and had a ride on the seas with nemo and friends, we had a FP for it but really didn't need it, we used it anyway but there was no wait anyway, we love this ride so cute! We came off and had a look around, we went to see a dolphin presentation which was so good they really are such intelligent animals and I didn't know they did anything like this in the pavillion so it was a nice surprise! We headed over to the land after there was a huge line for Soarin' FP so we jumped on living with the land now we knew my auntie and uncle would just love this ride because they love gardening and growing things and it didn't seem to disappoint they seemed like they loved it! we came off and headed back to Soarin' even though there was a large queue it didn't seem to take too long to get through, we asked for front row because my auntie and uncle loved this from last year also and I had a feeling this would be the last year we would see this version (which has now been confirmed the new film will be in by next year!) we all loved it but we were ready for food now so we went to Sunshine Seasons, auntie and uncle had never eaten here before but it's one of mine and mams favourites! We went with our usual of pork chop and mash and auntie and uncle for the Mongolian beef which looked delicious I wish I had tried it now! For desserts we had chocolate mousse cake, key lime tart, strawberry shortcake and warm Peanut butter melt which we all agreed were beautiful, the peanut butter melt was quite heavy but still beautiful!
We were stuffed so we decided to go watch circle of life " an environmental fable, I have to be honest it usually manages to lull me into a little nap for a few seconds especially after food but I do enjoy the film anyway however one thing that really annoyed me was these 2 people in the row in front of us just sat on their phones the whole way through the film " now I know people might find it boring but if you have no intention of watching it then find a bench and play with your phone! Rant over! We came out of the land and headed towards Figment which we always enjoy and my auntie and uncle seemed to aswell! We headed off into world showcase and some of the menus were out for the food and wine starting so I took a few pictures, we went to Canada and had a look around its so beautiful up the back and empty! We caught the end of the lumberjack show I couldn't say I loved it but it wasn't as awful as I originally thought it would be! We wandered up to UK to have a look and noticed that the Paul McKenna band were due to come on, we weren't sure where they performed so we went round the back beside where British Revolution play thinking it might be round there, they werent! We kept walking around and discovered it was actually near the main path through they were really good but there wasn't a lot to get the crowd going but I would watch them again they were good!
We walked around France and Morocco and we decided to get boat back to Future World and headed out of the park for a break. Once back at the hotel me and auntie went for a swim and we headed back out to Magic Kingdom around 6.30 we waited quite a while for a bus and didn't get to Magic Kingdom until 7.20 I really wanted a good space for the Main Street Electrical parade and we struck lucky and found a spot behind a bin right at the bottom of Main Street! A few people tried to sit in front of the bin but they were moved we had a fabulous view!
Once the parade passed we decided not to go too far up Main Street and get into the crowds we stopped at the bottom in the circle bit to watch Wishes it was fab and we could see really well and it wasn't too crowded but one things that really spoilt it for me is that all the lights were on so it spoilt the image for me I knew we were coming back later in the trip so I wasn't too worried about it I just wish I had known as we would have ventured a bit further up Main Street so it was darker.
One plus to this spot was we were some of the first people out of the park and we struck lucky with the buses and were one of the first people on a bus so we got seats! Because we were a party of 4 on the back seat of the bus we used to separate and have 2 at either side so the middle seat was easy enough for someone to sit in and myself and my uncle got this little boy in between us, once the lights went off you could tell he was falling asleep and his head was bobbing from side to side and we knew he would fall on either me or my uncle and he ended up falling onto my uncle it was so cute and he was oblivious to what had happened and everybody looking at him.
We went to riverside mill, filled our cups up and got food me and mam has make your own pasta and auntie and uncle split a fish and chips and we all went back to rooms and bed!
