It's been a very long, but good day. We started off by meeting the resort photographer for a photo shoot around the resort. He took almost 125 shots, and they turned out great (will try to post a shot later).
When we finally headed off to Epcot, we went straight to Soarin'. The wait was supposed to be 75 minutes, but it ended up being over 2 hours! Now for those of you who know me well, you know I HATE to fly. So, you may ask, What made you think a ride called soarin' would be the ride for you? I guess I just needed to waste a few hours in a line is all that I can say. Everyone else loved it. I can only say I have been on it, l survived and have a pin to prove it (even though I could have bought the dadgum pin without riding it!!)
When we got off the ride, it was time doe our lunch reservation in Canada. We had to eat kind of quickly because CB had to be at Sea World camp by 4:00.
It was not easy for me to leave CB at camp, but I know he will have a blast.
We are headed to St. Augustine right now. MM and I will take some time to pack and ship some boxes home tomorrow. We didn't buy Disney out, I think they still have a few things, but you wouldn't know it by looking at our vehicle right now!

Rain, Rain, Go Away...
Well, honestly it has not been horrible, but yes, it has rained again today. No real surprise, we are in Florida afterall!
Yesterday while we were at Epcot, in line for Soarin' there came such an intense rain it blew the electricity. We had to leave the ride and never got back to it...maybe next time. While we were in that line, CB was actually ON the Spaceship Earth ride. He called and said there was someone coming to rescue him off the ride. Today we found out this outage was property wide.
MSC and I left the park and made a three hour tour (not on the S.S. Minnow, but on the Disney buses) trying to get back to the Polynesian! When the electricity went down so did everything, including the monorail! When you are staying at a resort on the monorail line it is not easy to get back when the rail is down.
We just finished dinner at Hollywood & Vine. We're sitting outside the restaurant waiting to see if the rain will stop so we can go see Fantasmic.
Oh, Toy Story Midway Mania is everthing we had heard and more. My high score was 115,300. We tried to get back in and even with the Fast Pass the wait was over two hours! We'll try that one again next time too. We also enjoyed the Lights, Motors, Action! Extreme Stunt Show. There were thrills in every turn, it was amazing what they could do with those cars.
Rain has let up. We're off to see if the show will go on!
