Sunday in the Parks

On Sunday we went to Epcot. We usually choose which parks to visit on which days based on the crowd calendar on this website.

It was a big day for Wesley because he got to ride two rides that require riders to be 40 inches tall. He LOVED Test Track and Soarin'. Test Track is the fastest ride he has riden and 64 mph feels pretty fast.

This was also the first year for us to see the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Characters in Epcot. In the past the line has been 40 to 45 minutes but on Sunday it was only 15 minutes. So far the crowds have been very light this year.

Wesley really likes Pluto.

We are seeing lots of lizzards, very exciting for the kids and me.

While we were eating our fish and chips, Wesley said, "Look it is raining." I think Chris and I both said something about it not raining but he was right. Fortunately the big umberella that was protecting us from the sun also protected us from the rain. At times, rain blew in on us a little so Wayne used a smaller umbrella.
We had rain covers for the strollers and ponchos but we still got a little wet. Bell and Aurora were inside one of the French stores and no one seemed to know they were there to get out of the rain. One of the photo staff told me that Pooh was in the back of the toy store in England. I didn't know that he was there so I was happy he gave me the tip. While we were waiting for Pooh to "have a bite of honey" the kids played with this Thomas set.

We waited behind one other family to see Eeyore, Pooh, and Tigger.

Next it was nap time and by now the rain had stopped. Chris and I walked around the World Showcase two and a half times before Wesley woke up.

We had dinner at Mama Melrose's in Disney's Hollywood Studios. It was very good.

Lydia did well sitting in a booster seat between Chris and me.

After dinner we went to see Fantasmic. Everyone gets there early and to help the kids pass the time I bought them cotton candy. Chris didn't even mind this time since everyone was already dirty and needing showers.

It took Lydia a little while to fall asleep in her crib that night. When I went to check on her before going to bed I noticed that she had her legs in her sleep sack.
