Today we are heading to Epcot but first I have to make a delivery to Kristen at VWL. We text each other to find a suitable time and then I'm off. It was a quick and easy drive - no problems from any of the CM's at the MK entrance gate, the WL entrance gate, or the main entrance to WL. Ben walked out to meet me just as I pulled in so the timing was perfect! After returning to CSR, we hopped a bus and were on our way to Epcot (http://inlinethumb55.webshots.com/41910/2929421450102032678S600x600Q85.jpg)! We took a few minutes to enjoy our Legacy Tile (http://inlinethumb28.webshots.com/27803/2540586040102032678S600x600Q85.jpg)then headed off to grab FPs for TT and ride M:S. There was a delay with our launch - we were already in the capsule with the restraints locked down and the panel closed in front of us when they announced it. Apparently, someone in the capsule next to us had gotten sick in the previous party and they were busy cleaning it up. They opened the panels and released the restraints until they were done then we piloted our way to Mars. When we were done there, we caught up with Kristen's family in time to head over to the Universe of Energy (http://inlinethumb08.webshots.com/2759/2483571080102032678S600x600Q85.jpg)but ran into a bit of trouble here. Just before the Jeopardy answer and winner was revealed, the ride stopped and we had to evacuate. No explaination of the problem was given and now I'll never know if Ellen or Stupid Judy won! From here, we split with Kristen's family while we rode TT and grabbed some lunch at the Electric Umbrella. We promised to meet them again in Mexico for our first mini-meet. At 2pm, we strolled into Mexico to meet CaptainJessicaSparrow and BethanyMouse and her fiance Anthony. We had a great time talking with everyone and took this pic of the Intercotees (http://inlinethumb57.webshots.com/43768/2351536870102032678S600x600Q85.jpg) (well, Megan and Keara are a bit too young yet). After a bit, Bethany and Anthony went on their way and the rest of us helped Panchito and Jose find Donald on the Mexican boat ride. We then headed into Norway where we rode Maelstrom and Ben had a bit too much of the Norwegian brew (http://inlinethumb60.webshots.com/43771/2291919280102032678S600x600Q85.jpg). We hit up Journey (http://inlinethumb62.webshots.com/40445/2476554510102032678S600x600Q85.jpg) where Stephanie was disappointed to find they no longer have meet 'n greet with Figment but Keara found a new friend (http://inlinethumb45.webshots.com/16876/2761377460102032678S600x600Q85.jpg). We went to play at the Seas with Nemo and friends (http://inlinethumb13.webshots.com/42956/2710961990102032678S600x600Q85.jpg)then headed back to Canada for a fabulous meal at Le Cellier (http://inlinethumb17.webshots.com/42256/2976775660102032678S600x600Q85.jpg) - thanks Kristen!!! Our server, Brendan was absolutely the best!!! After dinner, we had FPs for Soarin' so we split up again - Kristen's family and Jessica went to watch Illuminations while we went for a spin over California. We intended to meet them but didn't finish until after Illuminations started so we beat the crowds back to the bus and headed back to CSR to get ready for another busy day tomorrow.

Dinner was the least I could do. You got water and diapers, you delivered them, you made Keara that beautiful dress, and you bought Keara that Steelers shirt.

I still can't believe Ben let you get that picture. Keara started laughing when I showed her and screamed "dada" (she still hasn't grasped the concept of him being Grampa) and Katy and I were cracking up.

We had a great day.:mickey:

The little girl in the stroller is Keara. The little girl in the green shorts and Yankees cap is Megan. The girl in the pirate Mickey ears is Stephanie (Pixiepower330). Next to her in the pink tank top is me (kakn7294). In the pale green top is Bethany (BethanyMouse). In the red top is Kristen (dolphinmickey9170) and on the end in the gray top and holding our wonderful sign is Jessica (CaptainJessicaSparrow).
