Day 6 - Return to Epcot
This morning was a little different than previous ones. Mom woke up before me and went down to the pool alone and let me sleep in. That was very nice. I got up around 10 and quickly went out to the CL to grab some breakfast before they closed up. I used the cooler again and took everything down to the pool and found mom where she was reading and enjoying the sun. I have to admit all the pool time was just heavenly. It was a scorcher so when I finished catching up in my journal I went in the pool. Ahhhh, how fabulous that was! It was a bit breezy so I didnt stay in the water long and then enjoyed the sun for a while. At some point I went up to the CL to get us some drinks. That was so nice instead of having to buy some all the time. R found us around 2:30 and M joined us a little later. We relaxed a little longer and headed off to Epcot around 3:30.
When we got to Epcot we went straight to the Nemo ride which they thought was cute. We really wanted to see the aquariums so stayed and enjoyed those for a while. I had never seen the manatees so active; they had just been fed and were zealously eating their lettuce.
We tore ourselves away from the manatees and went to the little exhibits around the corner.
I managed to leave the big camera behind today so only had the phone, sorry for the lack of pictures today.
Not that many people at all which was fabulous.
R had to stop for a pretzel, he was starving
Of course he did not take advantage of the FREE snacks in the CL before we left.
Then we headed to
We had a bit of a wait before the next show but it was nice to be in the air conditioning. I absolutely love this attraction and always fight back the tears when people start clapping for Michael. Everyone else also enjoyed it.
Figment is right next door and was a walk on so we couldnt resist. We all enjoyed that a well. Then off to Mexico to finish our tour around the World Showcase.
We stopped at La Cantina de San Angel for some food where mom and I shared some absolutely delicious cheese empanadas.
But it seemed that R & M needed a bit more sustenance.
After eating we headed inside the Mexico Pavilion and explored a bit. We went on the 3 Caballeros ride which was pretty cute and then M wanted to do a little shopping. After she found something for her sister we headed over to Norway to ride Maelstrom. This was at the top of Rs list for the trip so we had to do it. He loved it as much as he remembered which was cute. M had never been on it so R and mom were giving her a hard time about huge drops as high as Splash Mountain. They couldnt help themselves.
We explored the gift shop for a little bit and then decided that we had done everything we wanted to in Epcot so headed out.
I had wanted to go to DTD for a few nights but kept being thwarted by sleepy heads. Tonight they finally agreed to go with me so we grabbed a SSR bus which happened to be waiting when we got to the bus stop. I think there was only one other family on the bus who also needed to go to the Springs so we bypassed all the other stops at SSR and went straight to the boat when we got there. We had to wait about twenty minutes for a boat but it was a very nice evening. Problem was people were starting to get sleepy and a little grouchy.
There were tons of people at DTD and we suddenly realized it was Saturday night. We didnt stop in any of the shops because mom was complaining she was tired. I had wanted to try WPE or EoS so we decided to do WPE that night. We got our food to go because R & M were also getting quite tired and didnt want to eat there. We got back to the resort at 11:20 which meant quite a late dinner.
Mom had gotten a beet salad which she said was marvelous
I got the macaroni and cheese which was just ok. I had to heat it up so it probably was better when fresh.
We shared the 4 cheese pizza which was fabulous
And mom also got a crème brulee which she enjoyed but stated that the one in France was much better.
I had brought the Hunger Games which we watched while eating. I fell asleep around 1:00 and even though mom was tired earlier she managed to stay up and finished the movie.
