Sunday: RING...RING.....RING.....RING!! Reached for the phone out of habit and there was someone on the line that was entirely too happy and cheerful for this ungodly hour of the morning. OOPS...we're on VACATION gotta go, gotta go....time be a wastin. So I dive through the shower, wake up darling wifey and proceed to have our standard morning festivity of "how to get a 15 year old out of bed". Out of the room and off to Animal Kingdom-at the bus stop by 8:25....pretty good-only 10 minutes late per my plans. AK was very enjoyable-did all the rides and watched all the shows we wanted to-started to get crowded so it was time to bug out; done there by 1:30 and it's off to Epcot again. Fast pass Soarin, go to Mission Space (10 min stand by line), Test Track (singles line), then off to Honey I Shrunk the Audience. -set up the Walkie Talkies and released the TTS on the other denizens of Epcot (they need to see what the darling little children are going to turn into someday). Had dinner at Le Cellier (one of our favorite places to eat) we all had the Cheese Soup and Filets, TTS got a side of mashed potatoes I got a side of mushrooms, beer for me, wine for wifey-to full for desert. Saved $24.12 from the DDE card-it's almost paid for itself already. Used the fast pass for Soarin (we loved this ride-we think it is the best in the park), rode Mission Space a few more time (singles line). We had several 'funny' encounters on this ride-one time when I rode it today I was with 3 older kids (10-13 years old) whom I over heard saying they hadn't ridden it before and were bragging about how nothing could scare them so I decided to have some fun. As we waited in the preflight area I was mumbling to myself, once they loaded us in the capsules I picked up one of the barf bags with my shaking hands and I looked at the kid next to me and said "I sure hope what happened last time doesn't happen again!" A look of distress came over his face and he pointed me out to the rest of his group-I think they were scared now . Later that evening we watched Illuminations and remembered past trips-we saw the show from around Japan; the bridge between France and England was packed...to bad that was the direction of the wind. We allowed everyone else to exit the park before us (we are so kind aren't we?) and very leisurely strolled around the world drinking and talking about world affairs, the status of the economy, when we would annex Canada but most importantly we discussed the airspeed velocity of an un-laden swallow. Made it back to our room around 11:15 and promptly fell right to sleep.
