GKTW Day 3

Breakfast at the crack of 9 am and then a ride on the merry go round, then off to EPCOT. I remember going to EPCOT when I was in 6th grade. To put it bluntly pppplllllllltttt. It stunk. BORING. So day 3 why not go we have free tickets at least we can say we went. Whoa baby! EPCOT was our favorite park of our trip.

The wait for the rides @ EPCOT are inside the buildings. Nemo is a blast, Test Track with the boys was a riot, but Soarin’ was unbelievable. It is a screen that they lift your row up into and run film shot from a helicopter or a small airplane flying through various parts of California. Vineyards, orange groves, rivers and snow covered peaks fly past you so closely you are ducking your head and lifting your feet up constantly for fear of hitting them. They change the temperatures and the smells to accentuate the experience. Yes, we did ride it 3 times. Hey we had the rockin’ Sick Kid Go to the Head of the Class pass and we took full advantage of it.

We ate lunch in Italy. Delicioso. The kids had a $20 plate of spaghetti.

We were jumped to the head of the line to the building that contained 6 Disney Characters lined up for pictures. We got pictures of the kids with Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Pluto and Chippendales. No, wait it wasn’t give Angela the world, it was Chip and Dale. You know the chipmunks. 15 minutes total spent taking pictures with all these characters. Its embarrassing to tell you how long the wait was for the common folk.

We conquered EPCOT in about 4 hours. That pass is REALLY cool.

We made it back in time for dinner at GKTW and ice cream afterwards.

Everyone crashed into bed early, except for me. I took a drive down the neon strip in Kissimmee about 10pm. Vegas aint got nuthin on Hwy 192 when it comes to neon lights.
