Sorry about the delay. I will start again once the kids are back in school on Monday. After we got home I had to work 6 days straight and get everything ready for Christmas. Then the kids have been home. I am so ready for them to go back on Monday.

Great start and I love your pictures. I know what you mean about the lines at Wal-Mart down there. We can't have more that 2 or 3 people in line at the Wal-Mart I work at either.

December 12, 2005

Today we started our day waking up at 7:45. Well, that is the time I wanted to get up, but I was woken up by our neighbors listening to their door bouncing a million times on the security latch at 7:30.

We had breakfast in the room and then called my aunt to find out what they were doing for the day. Turned out they also went to MGM last night and saw the lights and did the 8:30pm show of Fantasmic. When I talked to them they were not sure what they wanted to do today yet. They would call us later after they were done eating.

We decided to go to Epcot.




After getting to the park we went to Innovations West and Larry went to go get us FP for Soarin. He came back and we played for a little while, then he went and got us FP for Test Track before we headed to Soarin. We rode Soarin, it is just awesome. We got to ride it in April and couldn’t wait to soar again. We then went to the Figment ride as we call it. The kids just love Figment. After Figment we played around and sent a postcard to a few relatives. Now it was time for our FP time for Test Track. Tyler got a kick out of being the driver and we tell him he is a crazy driver. He is really enjoying things this trip and it is fun to watch him.

After Test Track we checked out the cars and Larry had to sit in the H3.


He keeps telling me he wants one. Once in the store I checked my phone and I had a message. Turns out my aunt and uncle were in the park over by World Showcase. We went to meet them and then decided to take the boat over to MGM. While talking on the boat we learn that they also rode Soarin this morning. They liked it even though my aunt is afraid of heights and gets motion sickness. The captain also made an announcement while we were on board that there were special people on the boat. It turned out they were the 10,000 person to do the Segway tour and they won a Segway. How cool is that. I was wondering why they were walking around with Mickey Ear bike helmets.

The first order of business at MGM is food. I was starving by now and we went to the ABC Commissary for lunch. Larry had a burger and the kids and I had the children’s chicken nuggets. I can’t believe how much food you get with the kids meal. We got nuggets, fries, apple slices and a drink. My aunt just had a coffee and ate the apple slices and I don’t remember what Uncle Ray had.

Now that our bellies were satisfied we went to Who Wants to be a Millionaire. Aunt Cheryl and Uncle Ray have never done this attraction yet. We had fun playing along and the lady behind Larry made it in the hot seat. She really didn’t want to go down there. After WWTBAM, we needed to kill some time before the Stunt Show, so we went on the Backlot Tour. It was a little too cold to do the opening scene with volunteers so they just went through the sounds and motions. Once again Tyler got excited on this ride. He loved when the water was rushing down and over us.

Next up was Lights, Motors, Action for the last show of the day. The boys loved this show. It was pretty cool to see the stunts, but by now I was so tired I was ready to fall asleep right there.




After the show, Aunt Cheryl and Uncle Ray were going to head back to the All Stars and meet up with their dd Shannon for dinner. They were going to call us once they decided where they were going and we would try and meet them. Ryne and Tyler wanted to do Star Tours, so Larry took them and Ashley on it. I wasn’t going on again, once was enough for me and Laura decided to stay with me. We did a little bit of looking around and then found a bench to sit on. While sitting there I was approached to do a survey and we did it.

Once the rest of the family was done on Star Tours we decided to head out of the park. We stopped at a store and I found a nice fleece zip up jacket I liked. It was purple and had Tink and the castle on it. Of course I couldn’t find it in my size, so Larry wanted to make sure I didn’t over look it. Well, when he went to look at the back of the rack, he got a sliver from the wood under his nail. Ouch!! He works with wood at his job and is use to getting slivers, but this one hurt and I could tell.

We went to the first aid station and they gave him some tweezers to try and get it out. Of course the tip broke off and he couldn’t get it out. He cleaned it with Peroxide and still has the rest of it under his nail. They were nice at first aid, but really were not that helpful he said.

After taking some ibuprofen we went to wait for the boat so we could go pick up our car at Epcot. We had a nice relaxing ride. Once on the boat I noticed a message from my Aunt and called her and told her we wouldn’t be able to meet them for dinner.

Once we got back to Epcot we decided to go back to the room and get something to eat. We went and ate dinner at Everything Pop. The kids and I had pizza and Larry had Mom’s Fried Chicken for dinner.

After dinner it was time to get ready to head back to Epcot for IllumiNations. We got there and meet Aunt Cheryl and Uncle Ray in the World Showcase right behind the Christmas Tree. We decided to watch IllumiNations there.






Uncle Ray & Ryne



It was a good show and we loved the extra fireworks at the end. After IllumiNations it was time to call it a night. We offered to drive them to the All Stars so that they wouldn’t have to ride the bus. We got them back to their resort and went to ours. Aunt Cheryl did make a comment that they should have stayed at POP with us.

Once there we had snacks and got ready for bed. I set our wake up call the next morning for 7:45 and hoped that I wouldn’t be woken up before then

Next: What time is it and Magic Kingdom
