(Click here for more pictures) After swimming and a brief nap, we grabbed the bus to Magic Kingdom and then a boat to the Wilderness Lodge for a very loud supper at Whispering Canyon. The food was good but the atmosphere was...loud. People were shouting for ketchup, doing the Hokey Pokey, throwing straws, and banging and clanging dishes. Despite the noise, Graham managed a nap. Our supper reservations were at 7:40 so by the time we finished it was after 9. The busses were not running back to Magic Kingdom so we had to catch a bus to Downtown Disney and we had just missed one. So by the time we had made it to Downtown Disney and back to the hotel it was after 11. The kids were exhausted but were troopers. Graham went to sleep on the busses, Anderson tried to but Mom wouldn’t let him and Reagan was about to fall asleep. Needless to say, we all fell asleep as soon as we made it back.After a late night, we were still up and at ‘em at 8:15. We opened the doors of Spaceship Earth which has been redone since we had been here. Then Tom and Jason rode Test Track. Tom enjoyed the ride so much that he rode it again with Tara and Robby. Next we cooled off at Club Cool with some Cokes products from around the country (a favorite spot for Reagan and Anderson-we even came back later in the day). Tommye, Jason and Tara rode Soarin’ first. Then we Jason and Tom rode it while everyone else rode the Land boat ride. Reagan and Anderson enjoyed it more this time and were shouting out everything they saw. Later, Anderson ran towards a Mickey Mouse shaped pumpkin that he had seen on the boat ride and was so excited. Next, we had lunch at Sunshine Season. We had sandwiches, rice krispie treats and juice for lunch-our meal plan is lots and lots of food. We even get a meal for Reagan even though she and Anderson hardly eat anything. The World Showcase opened at 11 so we made our walk around the world. We watched the waterfall behind Canada and ran the shrubbery maze behind England. Anderson and Reagan took a nap while watching the American Adventure movie-Graham didn’t want to sit inside so Mom and him had to leave. He enjoyed watching the birds but would jump every time one flew away. After a few snacks from France, we had made it around the World. Anderson was still asleep so we headed to get some coke to help him wake up. Next, it was time to meet Mickey and Minnie Mouse again (thanks to Rob’s credit card, we were able to have a private meeting with them without a wait in line). Graham even woke up for the event. We took some good pictures and even bought a few. Reagan and Anderson really enjoyed meeting the characters. Graham could not take his eyes off of Mickey-very cute. We still needed a back picture so we climbed (illegally) on some stones in front of Epcot to take our family back pictures. We were quick and were able to get the perfect shot before the lady came to tell us to get down. Up the hill to the monorail ramp was next and Rob asked if they had any seats in the front-they did. So Reagan, Anderson, Robby and Tara all rode up front this time. Anderson’s favorite part of the trip has been seeing the monorail and shouting “mon mon rail.”
We got off at the transportation center and were about 1 hour early to the Polynesian for our meal at Ohanas. Tara was able to get us in early and we were finishing our meal by the time our actual reservations began. The meal was delicious and the kids loved the leis, maracas and doing the limbo. After supper, Tara did a little bit of shopping since the kids were strapped into the buggys. Back to the monorail and then to the bus-we were home much earlier tonight. Anderson now thinks that our state is Martinique which is the name of our stop at the hotel. “Ma ma nique” is how he says it. The playground was calling Reagan’s name and we played there until the sand throwing got out of hand. After a bath for Reagan and Anderson and a bottle for Graham, we gathered around the computer to look at today’s pictures while Tara did another load of laundry (isn’t this supposed to be a vacation?) Then we headed to bed while thinking about how we would spend our last day in the park.
