Today is Epcot day again - we're up and on our way! We stopped to visit the Legacy Tile (http://inlinethumb31.webshots.com/42718/2273765150102032678S600x600Q85.jpg)again then went straight to Club Cool. Kristen texted me that they were on the monorail on their way to meet us. We decided to catch a quick ride on Journey then headed to Canada. I thought we were to meet them their, Kris thought we were to meet at Club Cool so after a bit of confusion, we got together and went to watch Oh, Canada! - again, the first time for us since the rehab. I liked it better than the old one except I liked the old music/song better. We wandered through the UK (http://inlinethumb15.webshots.com/43598/2970988540102032678S600x600Q85.jpg) then on to France where Megan saw Aurora (http://inlinethumb15.webshots.com/33422/2970804480102032678S600x600Q85.jpg) and we watched the movie there as well. At this point, it was getting close to time for our 3rd meet so we hurried off to Norway (why did I pick Norway? - so far away!). Jessica was waiting in the bakery and we were hungry so we grabbed some lunch. Phil and I shared a schoolbread and a sweet almond pretzel - so good! We waited around for other Intercotees to show up and were surprised by MickeyChick who happened to be wandering by and saw Jessica's sign. None of the other Intercotees who said they were coming showed up so at 3p we left, wandering back towards China. We watched the movie here, checked out the Tomb Warriors (http://inlinethumb42.webshots.com/32489/2379564120102032678S600x600Q85.jpg) exhibit, and met Mulan and Mushu (http://inlinethumb36.webshots.com/42211/2383696290102032678S600x600Q85.jpg). On the way back to the rest of the countries, we got delayed by the barges for Illuminations. The bridge was raised (http://inlinethumb25.webshots.com/44120/2954688030102032678S600x600Q85.jpg)and the barges were being brought in (http://inlinethumb56.webshots.com/24119/2985813570102032678S600x600Q85.jpg) for the night's show. We did some shopping in Germany, watched the American Adventure (always makes me get a little misty no matter how many times I see it), then headed to Coral Reef for dinner. We didn't get seated right next to the aquarium but our tables were still great. The "kids" - including Jessica - all sat at a booth (http://inlinethumb37.webshots.com/42596/2904339450102032678S600x600Q85.jpg) and while the "adults" sat together at a table right across from them. We had a great view of the sea turtle (http://inlinethumb63.webshots.com/43710/2075252100102032678S600x600Q85.jpg)who seemed to like checking out what people were eating. Dinner here was very good. We had originally decided that we were going to bed early tonight as my family had an early breakfast scheduled at Chef Mickey's but instead, we were easily talked into heading off to MK. We grabbed seats on the monorail but when we got to the TTC, we couldn't all decide on a mode of transportation to MK. Finally, Phil, Megan, and Ben took the ferry while the rest of us took a monorail. Those poor people in the car with us couldn't wait to get off and away from our crazy little group - they took off like the devil himself was after him when the doors opened! The ferry arrived shortly after and off we went! We hit JC, POTC, BTM, and HM with Jessica as our own personal tour guide. My family can't wait to spend time with her again on our next trip. We ran into a bit of a snag in leaving. Jess realized that her car was at Epcot and the monorail was no longer running. Phil and I offered to have her ride back to CSR with us then drive her to Epcot but instead, she found her friend was working so she opted to crash at her place and get her car in the morning - whew, crisis averted! Sadly, tomorrow is our last day in the parks so off to bed we go - don't forget, we have that early breakfast at Chef Mickey's!
