| October 25 2008-Thursday I set the wake up call the night before for 7:15 AM. As soon as I got the call from Mickey and Stitch I was up and at em…of course I was the only one. I made toasted bagels with cream cheese for everyone I had brought a cheap toaster I had at home for the room. Mallory was the first one up which was good b/c she has to straighten her hair and put make-up on. I then woke up Kaia and she was in a much better mood then the night before. I got her dressed and her teeth brushed…of course and much to my dismay my DH was the last one to crawl out of bed but he was up quick to get dressed. We were out of the room by 8:15 AM which was pretty good especially since we had breakfast and were ready to board the bus. The bus showed up just as soon as we arrived and we were off to my favorite park EPCOT. As we waited for the park to open I went look at a small kiosk of pins outside the EPCOT gates Mallory and Kaia stayed in line with Ben. I bought a jasmine pin for Kaia (for riding Star Tours the day before) and I bought Mallory the cutest Little mermaid pin.  Mallory's purse she bought at MGM as well as the pin i bought her on the right   We waited for about 20 minutes before the park opened …I was almost tempted to follow the character in the Character Spot at EPCOT but knew we needed to head for Soarin. Mallory ran ahead and got us FP’s for Soarin so we could ride again without waiting if we wanted to…we met up and got in line. Kaia did not seem to be scared at all about this ride as we got in line. The all of a sudden we got visited by the people in the white vests aka the Dream Team! How it happened was that Kaia and Mallory where playing a clapping game called Lemonade that goes… Lemonade, crunchy ice Beat it once, beat it twice. Lemonade, crunchy ice Beat it once, beat it twice. Turn around, touch the ground, FREEZE. To which you have to freeze and the first person to move loses. Well there game caught the eyes of the dream team and they walked over to us…and asked Kaia to teach them the game…so Kaia played the game with a lady on the dream team…it was really cute…and then one of the guys gave her a Little Mermaid sticker (Mallory seemed only slightly peeved by this)…next they asked her where she was from. The they asked her if she liked waiting in lines…to which she of coursed answered NO! They told her if she whispered into one of there ears that she didn’t want to stand in line today that they would sprinkle pixie dust and make it happen… So Kaia went up to the lady who played the game with her and whispered that she didn’t want to wait in line today…and we all got Dream Fast Passes… DH and I received dream fast passes last year with a group of people for being the first ones in line for RNRC but this time seemed so much more special b/c Kaia was beaming with the extra attention and the fact that she had won this special gift!  After all this excitement it was time to board Soarin …Kaia sat between Mallory and I in the first row…she got really nervous when we were lifted up and she refused to hang her feet. ..because of how high we were…but she really enjoyed it. Next we walked went on to Living with the Land a favorite of Ben and I’s Kaia was not that impressed after all the excitement of Soarin… After the land we headed over to Test Track…Kaia got really nervous as we approached Test Track b/c of the loud noises of the speeding cars overhead…I explained to her that it went really fast but I really thought she would like it if she gave it a chance…so she agreed as long as she could sit next to me and hold my hand. The wait was 30 minutes so we used our dream fast passes to skip the line.  As we approached the start of the line Kaia became less nervous and more excited. She held my hand for most of the ride…but I could tell she was really enjoying herself…and as soon as we exited she wanted to ride again. I told her maybe later …but Mallory really wanted to try Mission Space Green team (she had never rode Mission Space) I asked Kaia if she wanted to give it a try and she said YES!!!! So we all got our green cards and waited about 5 minutes before we boarded our simulator…the green team was fun…but as soon as we exited Mallory wanted to ride the Orange team and so did I…I explained to Kaia this would be more intense and she could sit it out if she wanted…NOPE…she wanted to do the Orange team as well which peer pressure Ben to joining us. We had such a great time on Orange Team…it was cool to be just the 4 of us in our own simulator …we really bonded…and guess what Kaia love the zero gravity feeling!    Next UP Do they have Jambalaya here?

| I was so happy that you updated....I have beeen so excited about your trip since you started your Pre TR... Where do I start....a pin for every trill ride....I had to laugh, I tried to bribe my then 13 DD to no avail...there was nothing that would get her on any thrill ride except for my sister picking on her till she went on Splash Mountain and after that I could have promised her a million dollars....she was not going. Glad you had better luck....the pictures looked great and everyone sounds so happy... Can't wait to hear more....and see what other magic might happen (Fast passes on yoru 2nd day....still gives you a few more days for more....  )

| I'm loving your trip report and have fallen in love with your 7-year old shopping queen. The story of how she won the Dream Fastpasses was so sweet. Although, I would have been tempted to tell her to whisper that she wanted 50-years of Disney vacations by being awarded the DVC membership!  Can't wait for more!

| After Mission Space everyone was getting hungry….so we headed over to the WSC starting in Mexico  not sure why Mal is giving Kaia the evil eye? Mallory and I first went to Cantina de San Angel and split Tacos al Carbon - flour tortillas filled with grilled chicken, onions and peppers, served with black refried beans and Mexican salsa this was soooo good we also split a coke and for desert we got these things called Bimbo’s they were prepackaged cookie looking things so we slipped them in the backpack for latter. As we made our way around Kaia was not impressed with the international cuisine choices…this from the girl who’s favorite food is fish eggs! We made our way to the Ireland booth at the Food and Wine Festival and Ben and I tried Boxty Potato Pancake - with Bacon Chips and Kerrygold Garlic and Fresh Herb Butter it was delicious…yummo! Mallory stopped in South Africa and tried Durban Spiced Chicken on Skewer which she raved about! ***we sampled all of these goodies with our Snack Credits At this point Kaia said really loud “don’t they have regular Louisiana food like Jambalaya?” We all laughed and I stopped at the REFRESHMENT OUTPOST and got Kaia a good ole Hot Dog with Chips with a frozen lemonade. We all relaxed in the amzing weather while Kaia chomped away on her hotdog we all split the chips b/c the bag was huge.  We stopped in Germany for awhile and Kaia began her mask…while Ben got a Beck's Oktoberfest.    Next we headed over to the Hops & Barley Market where Ben got a Sam Adams. We stopped in at the United States for Kaia to get her next charm for her mask(a rocking horse) and to work on it for a little longer.  After Kaia put a couple of touches on her mask we were all drawn into the Pear exhibit…it looked fun and we took some great pictures there….          After the Pearville Fair Mallory almost ran to Japan she wanted to try the Sushi bad…. So we went to the booth and she got … California Sushi Roll and I got the Vegetable Roll both were very good…  Mallory went into the store in Japan and Ben went to scope out a restroom while Kaia and U went on a quest to find the KidCot station.  Where is the KIDCOT STATION??? We never did manage to find it and unfortunately I was forced to go into the store with Kaia where she fell in love with a Monchichi…I am little scared of these so I was against it from the start b/c I think I would have had trouble sleeping in the same room as it for the next couple of nights…so I convinced Kaia to wait on it.  Mallory found some Hello Kitty PJ’s that she loved but settled on a Hello Kitty sandwich holder for her lunch box. At this point we all headed to France and Ben was starving…so he went into Boulangerie Patisserie and got a Ham and Cheese Quiche (yes he still is a real man) and a Chocolate Croissant …while he was ordering we all scoped out a bench facing the international gateway and relaxed. He returned and began eating when we saw that Princess Aurora was posing for pictures right in front of us so me, Mal, and Kaia got in line for a picture.(which is on photo pass I will order it soon) …Kaia was really excited about her first character encounter but when Belle and the Beast came out she seemed scared by the beast and didn’t want to take a picture. I decided to order a St.Germain Red Cocktail - St.Germain Liquor, Vodka and Cranberry Juice at the France booth…it was super yummy.  We went back to Ben and sat down and Mallory decided to open the Bimbos (lol) that we choose as a desert from Cantina de San Angel . These were an adventure but we ended up really liking them and talked about how great the Bimbos where the whole trip…every once in awhile out of the blue my DH would say “Man I wish I had a couple of Bimbos right now” oh how he tries so hard to be funny!! LOL!!     After this we were all a little tired so we decided to take a midday break…so I asked anyone if they minded taking the boat from the International gateway to MGM and then hopping on the bus. Everyone was game…especially since it meant not walking all the way to the front of EPCOT again…Mallory was just shocked about another entrance to EPCOT.   So we took a leisurely ride to MGM and a quick bus ride to POP Century. Next Up another surprise for KAIA….
