Last details of our trip


We went back to epcot on Thursday....we had a better day than we had our first day there except for at night..I'll get there in a moment. Today I got to ride the Test Track...and the others rode it again..we did Soarin again and Mark came on with us but he was a little nervous because he is a scared of heights but he enjoyed it. We did all the countries today but for some reason we just kind of hurried through them..i guess with little ones in tow its hard to see all the stuff the countries have to offer...we did the two rides there and they saw the American movie which I have not seen yet after 4 times of being there...maybe next time. So now to the end................After eating in Canada at the Steakhouse we went and got ready for Illuminations....like an hour and a half before it started..so there was lighting in the distance and it did look bad so we were debating what to do. Of course it did not seem to faze anybody else there...so here we are all comfy..the kids have suckers and sitting on the ground withRyan in the stroller. We realize my DS 3 lost his Pluto hat so DH and Bil went back to the place where we ate to see if it was there...then my DS 12 had to go the bathroom and of course could not wait so off he went across the way. well about 5 minutes later a bolt of lighting strikes pretty close with a big boom and rain pelted down with hail and the winds were really bad..and out of nowhere...so I alone with all 4 little ones who at this point are starting to cry..we run into the shop which was next to us and it was wall to wall people in there...my kids are scared and my 12 year old is out there somewhere and my DH and Bil never came back...I am a nervous wreck more thinking of my 12 year old and it seemed like an hour but probally about 5 minutes later I see him looking in the window..relief....but he could not make it to me but I had sight of him and of course he is smiling because he is soaked! Then a few minutes later I see the glare from my DH looking through the window(he hates being wet at all) so the rain stopped but lighting everywhere and off we went..as we laid in bed we watched the local news only to see that a bad tornado hit not to far North from us...

Friday we went to MGM...I do like this park but its hard to see alot because of the times of the shows you have to work around. My kids did mange to get me on the Tower of Terror so there I was with Kevin Brittney and Alyssa and Brandon who are 3 and 5 and I am scared..turned out to be not that bad. I would even do it again. We ended the night with there night show which I would say was the best....would suggest not to miss that one...so off back to our hotel for our last night there....

We left on sat and headed towards Daytona Beach first..Just wanted to let our kids play at the beach for a little bit..they have never been to a beach and they loved it..messy after but they had a good time..so then off we left for our long journey home which we arrived home Sunday morning at about 11 am.

Planning our next trip to DW!!!

Wow! Sounds like you guys had a great time. We are just starting to save this year, for our family trip to disney. My DH and I just went there (my first time) in July..with out kids. Probly was best that way..I got to see what everything was down there before taking the whole family. We also are considering the drive..I have never flown and don't ever want to. I also just realized, sometimes we take so much for granted. We have been to the beach so many times and we love it!! kinda forgot that some people live in places where it isn't possible to visit the beautiful ocean. Thanks, for your great writings!
