WDW Vacation ~ Day 7

The original plan for Day 7 was to go to Epcot in the morning and then Animal Kingdom in the evening.  Instead, we stayed at Epcot until after 4 and then swam in the evening again.  At Epcot, we headed to the other side that we'd never even done with the kids and rode Soarin', Living with the Land, Relaunched! Mission Space, The Seas with Nemo and Friends, Spaceship Earth, Frozen Ever After, Test Track, and Turtle Talk with Crush.  We were also able to get pictures with Baymax, Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, and Pluto.

For lunch, we ate around the countries again.  I was so hot that I didn't eat much, but I know we visited France, Japan, Ireland, United Kingdom, Australia, and Scotland.  I'm probably forgetting one or two.

Funny story about about Relaunched! Mission Space:  So I told Gavin I would take him on that ride since we weren't going back to Animal Kingdom.  It had two levels, green and orange.  Orange was more of a wild ride and that is what Gavin chose.  He asked Allie to go with us.  As we are in line, they keep warning you about close, dark spaces, how wild the ride is, motion sickness, etc.  Allie and I were getting a bit nervous, but went ahead with it.  After you are strapped in with bars over your shoulders and everything, they shine a light down on sick bags!!  Allie and I just start laughing because it was either laugh or cry and Gavin got very serious and said, "Stop laughing! Stop laughing!  I don't want us to have to use those things!!"  The ride was very intense and your head gets sucked back so hard Gavin was crying out in pain for a few seconds.  You have to push buttons as part of the ride so that was fun, but WOW!  We all agreed we would do green next time!

Goofy made Mickey Ears like the kids were wearing

You can barely see Lilah in the back row between Uncle Charles and Aunt Allie!

Macie and I were inline to ride Test Track, but she decided right as we were loading that she didn't want to do it.  I totally understood and waited with her for the others.

The girls originally wanted to see Joy and Sadness from Inside out, but the wait was quite long, so we decided to do Frozen Ever After instead because the wait said 35 minutes.  It was a tad longer but the que was really neat and the ride was very well done.  Well, this picture totally cracks me up because there was a drop we weren't expecting and Gavin is freaked out that we aren't buckled in and Brian is NOT happy with me.  It ended up being a small splash and not a big deal.  It was Macie's favorite ride!  Once again, you can barely see Lilah on the other side of Brian!

Pluto was another character Gavin was happy to see.  He even licks the autographs!

WDW Vacation ~ Day 6

On Day 6, we headed back to Magic Kingdom.  Originally, we thought that we would go for a while in the morning, take a break, and then head back for the evening.  We ended up just staying longer in the morning until the afternoon and swimming in the evening at the hotel.

After the opening show, the five of us rushed over to Elena and Cinderella to try one more time for the pictures.  Then we saw Tiana and Rapunzel while everyone else rode the Winnie the Pooh ride.  We also rode Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Small World, Monster's, Inc. Laugh Floor, Peter Pan's Flight, Under the Sea Little Mermaid, and Space Mountain twice!  We saw the Country Bear Jamboree show and ran into Mary Poppins which Gavin was happy about because he likes that movie!

While we were on the Thunder Mountain Railroad, it started to rain.  The ride was fun in the rain.  Then, it started to pour on our way to Space Mountain.  We were soaked all of the way through.  We made it in time for our FastPass though.  Space Mountain is one of my favorite rides and Gavin loved it, but the first time through he was so worried about losing his glasses he didn't get to fully enjoy the ride.

Brian and the girls headed back after lunch and the Laugh Factory, so I told Gavin I would take him on one more roller coaster of his choice.  Allie stayed with us and he chose Space Mountain again.  I was happy because it was close to where we were, the line wasn't too long, and it's one of my favorites.  The ride isn't the same every time and our second ride was better than our first!  I'm glad I got to do that one more time!  When we got back to the room, we changed into our swimsuits and spent the evening in the pool.

The girls thought they were so big standing on the bus!

"Just a spoon full of sugar..."

Elena was who Lilah was most looking forward to meeting!

Cinderella asked Gavin if his carriage was made from a cherry since it is red.  She offered to let him race her pumpkin carriage and the strawberry carriage that is for the mice!

This picture and the one above is actually from the first night we say Cinderella and Elena.
