So after a short break at the room we headed back out for EMH at MK we got to the park about 12:30. Our first stop.... My favorite snack the Pork Shank! We hit the rides at 1:00. The park was empty. We were here from 1-3 and rode Ariel, Ariel Grotto, Dumbo, Goofy Barnstomer, Pirates, Thunder Mountain, Haunted Mansion, and Peter Pan. There where no lines at all. It was a good night. Its 3:30 we are getting on the bus now to go back to the room... We are tired but had a magical night. My 19 year old grew up in Disney but had never seen the New Fantasyland he loved it.... Another magical day!

So we arrived at HS... Walked around for a few minutes and passed Writers Stop... One of my must dos this trip was a carrot cake cookie... Well stopped and got one.... Needless to say DH and I I ate the entire thing! It was so good.. We did not even think about we had dinner reservations in 30 minutes!
So on to our reservations Brown Derby was busy as usual. Food was ok/good .... But I was still thinking about that cookie!!! So we ate... Went and rode Movie Ride and then I went back and got ANOTHER Carrot Cake Cookie... Simply delicious! Back at the room for a few minutes then headed back out for EMH at MK :)

Leaving Epcot for a pool break... All fast passes where gone by 12:00 park is really busy. We had fun. Lots of new stuff in inoventions Habit Heros which Nick loved... He has been talking about it since they closed it last year.. He also liked THINK he walked up to the CM and said "that was very educational" he is a fun kid... They had several games with prizes.. And the egg hunt for Easter. We did it all because this is probably the last year Nick wil want to participate in that stuff. I loved the F&G food and merchandise... Going back later to use our Soarin FP.. :)
