Monday May 2 at EPCOT

Allright here is part two of the trip. In the morning we bused it up there. We got into the park about ahh 9:20 ish. Line for SE was long and we wanted to ride TT and MS. So we took the picture in the front with the CM and headed off to the East side of EPCOT. Small crowds in the morning, a lot of people hanging out at Innov, don't know why. Anyway we got to TT and my sis. chickens out so we "child swap". The CM gives us the cs (child swap) pass and we get in the singles line. The standby was 20 min, but aswe walked by I say it was 30-35 min. Off that side note my Mom went to pick up MS FP's as we rode. It was fun as we rode TT, I hate to say though I think it seemed overrated. It was okay but not a super ride. So we got off, met my mom who had ten MS FP's (I'll get to that later) and we used the cs pass. We rode again and got off. Mom said they got to the FP machines put the ticket in and it got stuck. A CM got the ticket out and when she put it in the machine printed out 10 FP's. WOW. So we headed over to MS and used the FP's. My family chickened out except my bro. So we got on using 2 FP's (Now there are eight). We got into the Green boarding room iin about 5 min. and were briefed. Then we waited, and waited. 20 min we waited, a CM came in a told us there was a "Liquid Spill" in one simulator. YUCK.:dazzle: So they moved us and within a few minuites and another briefing we were strapped in. Great ride loved it. So now we have maybe 30 min to use 8 FP's. We used two and rode again, and then hade 5 min till they expired. So we rode again and took the six. Our parents went to get a stroller and we would meet at Spaceship Earth. So we got in line and gave 4 away to two older couples. We got in and on and rode. We then headed to SE in the rain and met up with the folks. We then headed to the ferry and hit Morocco. It was raining harder now, so we ate with plenty of time and nothing to do. The Genie was hiding in the restraunt so we got a autograph and picture with him. After we ate we headed over to Japan it stopped raining and shopped in the Mitsukoshi shop for an hour. When we left the candy lady was out so we watched then the Tikao drummers started and we watched that. After we went to America and bought pins at the pin station in the front. Then we saw the American Experience at 3:15 good show. The line was short. Next we passed Italy and saw the statue show and met Ghepetto, Kitty, and Pinocchio. That took a good ammount of time. Now it was 4:45 and we had dinner reservations at Biergarten. So we went over and had a great time. The food was great, and the show was neat. The bassest got a comemerative 15 year working with Disney award. Very nice of them. There was a couple at our table that worked in the DCL and knew the lead trumpeteer and the chef. The chef came over and talked to us at our table. That was cool. Then we left for Future World, it was 7:00. We walked around from Germany to the UK getting those stupid Kidcot stamps formy sister. Now another hour was gone and we had not done anything but get stamps. But we made it to Spaceship Earth with no wait. So we rode it twice and headed out to see Honey I Shrunk the Audience. Still a great show. As we left the 5 min warning was out for Illuminations. We got a seat but it was not great. We left halfway through the show and headed back to the bus. And that was our day.
Weather: Not hot in the morning but humid, really humid. Later in the day it got worse a lot worse. And in the night it was cool but still really humid. I sweated in places I didn't know could.
Lines: mild to low. We worked around most of them. TT and MS were med to long all day. FW was empty in the morning, and during the rain. WS was medium with people most of the day.

I can't believe that you left in the middle of Illuminations...If you did not see the last 5 minutes, you missed a great part of the show!

We went to Epcot Monday too, but we didn't get there til later in the day (started out in AK). My mom and daughter did TT, I can't do rides like that. I stood on the exit side to take a pic, missed taking a pic but had a nice convo with the CM working there. He tried to convince me to get on, it didn't work LOL. I saw the statue lady later in the week but that night (Monday) we saw the balloon animal performer in France. I have a secret crush on balloon animal/magician street performers so I thought he was great. Oh also found books I read when I was a child at the UK (Mr. Happy, Mr. Topsy-Turvy, etc) and was really excited. Illuminations was eh. Not a must see I would say unless you had upfront seating. We sat in Italy and they had a special section roped off but we couldn't sit there. Anyways, maybe we passed by each other (and if I bumped ya, sorry!)
