Finally it's the day for Epcot. Woke up this time and was able to tell the time right away. Went back to sleep until just after 5am. Then it was up and sorted for the day ahead. We reckoned we could leave by 8am instead. Once again it only took about 20 minutes from Villa to parking the car. Early meant we had time to meander before lining up for getting in. Epcot let us in about 10 minutes early. Was a bit confused with the new "turnstyles" of a mickey head but after all the issues, the new plastic cards were working.
Mr G and Lil Miss went straight to Mission Space Orange, while The Boy and I headed to soarin' for fast passes for later. We then wandered over to Test Track. We had a wait on the others and we watched the wait time go from 5 minutes to 20 in a very short space of time. We got into 2's the girls against the boys for making a car. We had a nice pink one and the boys made a minging green one. Then it was on the ride. The ride has really changed since we were last here and I have to say, it is much better now. The Boy loved it but Lil Miss was honest, she preferred the old one. We managed to get our photo on to the PP+ and we headed off.
We decided to head to Spaceship Earth. This was when I did have a slight exchange with the american family who tried to queue jump. The girl kept saying "My family need to come here!" "Haven't you heard of the word please? Manners cost nothing!" I eventually let the rest of her party through but this pushing in was getting on my nerves. Rode Spaceship Earth and straight to Soarin'
The Boy wasn't too happy about riding this ride but he enjoyed it. So we took fastpasses for later in the day. We decided to have an early lunch in Sunshine Seasons. The rest was good but the flies were getting on our nerves, It was then time for Figment and Journey into Imagination. The children loved it once again. Then it was time to get our usual family tradition of crystals! But they have stopped doing them. We were gutted!
We tried Captain EO but with a 20 minute wait, we creamed up and moved on. We found the Agent P place and Agent M was formed and we were sent on our way to The United Kingdom to explore. This meant that Agent M got a mobile phone which did a variety of things to find Agent P before having to post the phone in the secret area. We did a bit of window shopping, while hiding from a heavy shower Met Alice from Alice in Wonderland and then sat in Japan with shaved ice before getting the boat to Canada. This was something we'd never done before so it was nice to see it from another angle.
We popped into a shop and Lil Miss found the Mickey January necklace she had been hunting for. She had one before and lost it. As we prepared to leave a heavy shower came down. Out came the raincoats and we asked a Photopass Photographer to take our photo's. Then we headed over to Soarin' but decided to nip into Nemo and it was a walk on, before we headed to Soarin' again. As we still had quite a bit of time, we headed to Ellen's Universe of Energy and a wander round Innoventions. We popped into Club Cool too and the kids tried Beverley. It didn't go down well but they liked Japan's,
Then we headed to the Circle of Life for a sit down before checking into the Garden Grill for dinner. We had a below seat and we saw all the characters and had an enjoyable meal. The turkey was gorgeous and I enjoyed the fish. The Mash was lovely too. I got Mr G eating the salad and he likes Ranch Dressing yay. We really enjoyed this meal and Lil Miss ate the peach cobbler and announced it was like something she would make at school. The boy got the cupcake cone which he was delighted with.
After eating we rolled down the hill, where we got more Photopass photo's and headed back to the villa. As we hit the Highway 27, the torrential rain came down. I had an early night and the others had pool time.
