Part 2....

Tuesday, July 30 -- Epcot/Magic Kingdom -- We stared out early at Epcot and visited most of Future World (didn't go to any of the countries). And once again hubby didn't get to ride the Test Track because it was having technical difficulties. So we visited the stores and pin trading station (which I got very into on this trip). We rode Spaceship Earth and visited the Coca Cola Cool Station. We left in the early afternoon to head back over to the Magic Kingdom. We rode Pirates again and went to Toon Town to visit the characters and then back to Tomorrowland to ride Space Mountain again and the Tomorrowland Transit Authority. We also saw the Carousel of Progress. Then we found our spot and got ready for Spectromagic (and it was fabulous) and the Fantasy in the Sky Fireworks. They were wonderful also. I hope to have some pictures soon to share. Another day done and bed time for us all.

Wednesday, July 31 -- Rest Day -- We had planned on this being a Universal Studios day, but instead decided to sleep in late and kind of see what happened. We finally got everyone up and ready about 1 pm and decided to visit some of the outlet stores in the area. Hubby got a new pair of Oakley sunglasses and I got some clothes. After a quick lunch we headed to Downtown Disney for some more shopping. We spent the rest of the evening there and then back to rest for our big day on Thursday.

Thursday, August 1 -- Animal Kingdom -- We were up early today for our Character Breakfast at Donald's Breakfastosaurus and it was so much fun. The buffet was wonderful and we got to see Donald, Goofy, Mickey, and Pluto all decked out in their excavation gear. After breakfast we ventured to the Jungle Trek and the Safari. It was a blast. We visited the countries and I got the most beautiful pearl ring. Hubby got to pick the oyster and they open it right there for you. It was neat, I had to tap on the oyster 3 times and hubby banged on a gong and the girls and the lady that worked there said some crazy words and our "baby" was born. It was neat. We then picked out a setting for it. It is beautiful. Hubby and his sister then went to ride the new Chester and Hester ride and then it was time to leave because it was too hot and we were all getting tired. So we went back to the room and my sister went to sleep and hubby, me, and sis-in-law went back out. We went back to MGM so they could ride Rockin' Roller Coaster (not me) and so we could see Walt Disney: One Man's Dream. It was an awesome display of his life and works. Then we went back to the Magic Kingdom (just in time for the crowd for the parade) to ride Space Mountain again, but the line was way too long so we opted for The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh and The Haunted Mansion. Then it was 10 and time to leave.

More later, time for washing more clothes and bed time. I will finish tomorrow, after I finish my paperwork for my new part-time job at THE DISNEY STORE!!! I am sooooo excited to become a cast member. Later.
