To finish up where Marf left off on yesterday's post will actually segue right into today's. We did love the Mission: Space ride, as well as he "Mission Control Training Center" area that you walk into right as you exit the ride. Here they have a multi-person game based on a space race between two teams. There is the mission control floor where team members figure out puzzles that send "fixes" up to the astronauts, then the astronauts apply those fixes. It's nothing but a ton of button bashing and yelling back and forth - in other words lots of fun. Our team won each time we played - which was like four or five times. And yes we were very vocal and totally got into the spirit of the game. There's nothing like having your little nine year old turn around to a pack of adults on the mission control floor and yell "I need a YELLOW fix STAT!" and having them jump to. I think the controllers got sick of us, but we didn't care :P
The rides in Epcot are all located in the "Future" area, where there are all kinds of info-rides (rides with an agenda), an innoventions area (where the future meets today type gadgets) and a few theatrical performances (Honey I shrunk the audience type stuff). We loved the entire area, and we were even surprised when towards the end of the day we went on a boat ride to kill some time and ended up loving it so much we were taking notes on napkins. It was basically a ride about the science of horticulture, and innovative ways to grow veggies and fruits. It was amazing, and if we could ever get the energy up we'd love to mimic some of their ideas. We'll see :P
So after the future area we went to the World Showcase area, which is amazing. about a dozen countries have put together a showcase of their history, culture, cuisine (ooooh the cuisine). We had lunch in a Moroccan restaurant, which was delicious and very entertaining - they had a belly dancer performing while we ate. It got Martha thinking about her belly dancing again, while I just enjoyed the show :)
While walking around the British area we came upon a small street show (we watched one in the french area as well, which was very cool) and when they started pulling in people for audience participation, Martha was selected as the beautiful/hideous witch. Using her feminine wiles she lured the poor Galahad into a long, deceitful tale. Martha was amazing, totally hamming it up as she switched from a beautiful (and bouncy - which they all loved) seductress to an old, screechy hag. She performed wonderfully, and afterwards she had the cast asking her if she was an actress with professional training, to which she responded that no, she was just an over actor and a ham and that she takes every opportunity to embarrass herself in public. Hours later she had people coming up and telling her how great she did in the performance.
It was definitely her high point.
Later that night we had dinner at a Japanese restaurant that was soooo good. The kids loved it, and Martha and I were trying to not lick the dishes. All the country areas are ran by people that they bring in from the countries just to work there, and most don't even speak english, so we believe we were eating in as true of a Japanese's style as one can have with American produce. Hint: their rice (and the japanese are VERY particular about their rice, so much so that they don't export it) was from california called Niski. We need to look into it.
So that brings us to today (I promised you a segue):
We ended up at the same Japanese restaurant for lunch today; we just couldn't get it out of our heads! We were going to go to the mexican, then the german, then italian...but we ended up at the Japanese. And again it was great. But today didn't end up as nice as yesterday due to bad weather moving in early - it wasn't supposed to be here until tomorrow. We got some umbrellas to help with the rain, but the wet on top of Maegan and I not feeling good we decided that it was time to call it. We ended up timing it about right because about the time we arrived to our condo we were put under a tornado watch, and a funnel cloud with "Tornadic activity" hit just to the east of Orlando - tearing up some roofs and such. We were hit by quite a deluge, during which we went swimming :P
So we didn't hit any rides, but we did walk around for a few hours, bought a few things (I got a Moroccan drum) then went back to the condo. It's kinda been nice though, we all could use a little vacation from our vacation.
Which wraps it up, we head home tomorrow. We will be posting our thoughts on how we could have done things better and things to consider next time, so stay tuned!

marhta: best ride mission space; favorite event getting to be in a play

5th day, 4th park--part 2
We visited Epcot today. It was the park we all thought would be the most boring and so we saved it for a "short" day when the parks aren't open as late on weekdays. However, it turned out to be one of the best parks we went to all week.
They have Soarin' there-the hanglider ride that puts you in the air over California. I think it is one of the most relaxing rides out there. And the Test Track, where you test a car-brake test, bumpy road test and then go for a spin around the track at top speeds--ours hit 64.7 mph. It was a lot of fun although the pic doesn't show it too well. We can't figure out where the camera was because we all look a little sedate. We'll have to try it again to see if we can get a better shot.
I think the best ride there was called Mission: Space. You ride in a rocket to Mars. The G-forces that thing can hit is amazing--at launch, it is hard to move your hands forward to the controls. And, best of all, it has all these switches and buttons and things that light up so you feel completely immersed in the game. I think the crew members were laughing at us because we would climb in and immediately start playing. I know we could be heard shouting out "We are switching to oxygen" and "We are ready to launch" We all did nothing but flip switches and call out whatever phrase we have ever heard from any movie or tv show, interspersed by screams and shouts when we hit a really good spot. While the crew members never actually laughed at us when we climbed out of the ride, they sure looked at us alot and smiled. We went on this ride 4 times. Even the girls were a little disoriented after the last one.
Marf had to step away from the keyboard, so she'll finish this post later

quick post for today
It's been a LOOONG day for us today, and we have gotten home pretty late, so instead of a regular post (which I will hopefully fill in tomorrow) I'm putting in a link that you should be able to follow and see some of our disney photopass shots. Only some of the pictures were loaded today, but the rest should be available by Tuesday sometime.

Day4, Third Park
Magic Kingdom-Disneyland writ small
We went to Magic Kingdom today. The idea was that it was really disney land and we all knew disney land really well. everyone was excited to visit was we considered "old favorites" and spoke of Space Mountain, Star Tours and Matterhorn. We had discovered that Star Tours was at MGM but the rest would be there waiting for our eager little bodies to arrive. What we hadn't counted on was how far away everything is -we go from the shuttle to the monorail to a ferry in order to reach the entrance. It was a long trip but finally we arrived. since we had decided to sleep in a bit and catch the 1030 shuttle (we were all wiped out from the past 2 days) And entering the park was truly like old home week for us. It was the Main Street we all knew and the layout was familiar. It felt like putting on comfy clothes after being dressed up.
We have learned that the first thing to do is get reservations for lunch, we scurried over to make sure we had a place to eat in a few hours. then grab a fast past to Space Mountain and hit some smaller rides. We tried the Monsters Inc Laugh Floor first. At first, meesh and i thought it would be a movie of the characters from the movie making jokes but actually it interacts with the audience and it was pretty funny. We tried the Stitch ride next-that is a definite pass. None of us really liked it and I think it might be intended more for smaller children more interested in bodily humor.
Then it was time for Space Mountain, the most anticipated event of the day. We had the fast pass (whoever thought of that gem should be given a BIG raise!) and quickly found ourselves right at the front, waiting to board our shuttle. Meg was busy warding off a panic attack. she really wanted to do the ride but has very definite likes and dislikes when it comes to roller coasters and is a bit iffy when it comes to unknown rides. But she was a trooper and refused all offers to leave. Gwyn was nearly coming out of her skin in excitement. she remembered this ride from Disney Land trips past and was counting steps till it was our turn. That was when we experienced something i had never heard of on a disney land ride--the lights came on--in Space Mountain. We saw the track and the black ceiling. gone were the stars, the comets and the mystery. As Gwyn so aptly and cynically put it "great, there goes the magic." There was some technical difficulty on the track and they had to shut down for awhile. we were given fast passes for our return trip and profuse apologies and then escorted from the building. We were able to return less than an hour later but it was very strange to have this magical place have such a mundane problem.
On the whole, it was a good day. there is no Matterhorn and Toontown (my favorite spot) isn't anything like the california one but on the whole, we really enjoyed ourselves (sore feet and all). I think we overwhelmingly want to revisit MGM before Magic Kingdom on our extra day but it was a day well spent.
Our favorites for the park--
Meg: favorite ride was Monsters Inc. Favorite event was the bakery (it was really yummy)
Gwyn: favorite ride was Monsters Inc. Favorite event was the Mickey Parade.
Marfs: favorite ride was Monsters Inc. Favorite event was the Mickey parade. They had a float of all the disney villains and i cheered and one of the pirates flirted with me. Interestingly enough, Meesh didn't like the parade all that much. Hmmmm.
Meesh: favorite ride was Monsters Inc. His favorite event was Liberty Tree--the restaurant where we ate lunch. it had great food and the desserts were too good to describe.
and it is late and everyone has now gone to bed so i can't even read them what i have written so they can praise me. so i am off to bed now. Epcot center tomorrow. i hear the Canadian food is the best. we will see.

Day3, second park
Today's park was Hollywood studios, and I think we all enjoyed it more than the animal kingdom. We started off by some of us watching the Highschool musical while I went to get fast pass tickets to Tower of Terror, which started a theme of leapfrogging throughout the day, getting fastpasses here, jumping over there to hit another ride. Martha and Gwyn did the tower of terror three times during the day - they both love that ride. We were again grabbed out of the crowd and selected as a VIP Family for the Rock n Roller coaster. We were on our way to get fastpass tickets when this young man in a disney uniform stopped us in the middle of a pack of people. Again I thought we were doing something wrong (guilty conscience I guess). He asked if we would like to go on the coaster, but as the VIP family, so of course we said YES! Basically he took us through some back ways and alleys until we were put right onto the ride, bypassing the entire line. The ride is a blast, and we got a picture of us all screaming during the takeoff- it's very fast and in the dark but even Maegan screamed for joy the entire time.
At lunch we went to this old 50's style restaurant, where they pretend that you're in your own house and that it's your aunt or uncle or grandma doing the cooking. They come and sit next to you, send you to the corner if you put your elbows on the table, and basically bicker back and forth like a true family. It was a blast, and the food was fabulous. At one point this little girl was banished to our table for putting her elbows on the table. When she told us Martha and I instantly pulled our elbows off the table with a guilty start :P
Muppets 3D was pretty cool, as was Star Tours - classics now but they are always fun to revisit. I managed to cajole everyone into going to a stunt show, and they humored me but were expecting to be bored. But by the time the last flames had died away they were converted. It was a way awesome show, with cars racing back and forth, jumping over trucks, motorcycles screaming all over the place - it was really neat.
So the final stats for today was:
Maegan: best ride:Rock 'n roller best Thing: VIP Family
Gwyn: Best Ride:Tower of terror Best Thing: Muppets 3D
Martha: Best Ride: Rock 'n roller best Thing: 50's restaraunt
Meesh: best ride: Rock 'n Roller Best Thing: stunt show
Tomorrow's Park: Magic Kingdom!

Day2, first park
Animal Kingdom
It took us a bit to get to the park today, waiting for our tickets and such, so we decided to use the short day for the Animal Kingdom Park, which turned out to be a great choice. We started off with "It's tough to be a bud", which we've seen before in DisneyLand but this time we didn't get stabbed in the back (a long whiney story there...). The show was still great, with some fresh changes since the last time. The best part of the show is that it takes place under the Tree of Life, an amazing sculpture that according to Maegan has 324 animals carved into it (she researched it). We then went to Dinoland, which was a disappointment in my opinion. The only ride we went on was the the..ah..Dinosaur ride, which is a sad copy of the raiders of the lost arc ride. Gwyn seemed to like it, so that makes it ok. Maegan was having none of it and didn't go on the ride. She did go on the Mt Everest ride, which is a ball. A roller coaster that goes backwards, corkscrewing down the inside of the mountain...awesome. We got the picture developed, which we later lost...more to come on that.
The asian area was amazing, very well detailed with some really cool ideas. At this point we were on our way over to the savannah ride when we stopped to get our faces painted. Maegan got a cheetah face, and Gwyn a bird of some sort while I got a tribal symbol on the side of my face...pretty cool. We had just finished getting them done, and we were taking pictures when this lady in a Disney uniform approached us and asked us what we were doing. Not sure what to say because I thought we were in trouble, and I'd never been in trouble before at disneyland, I said "Taking Pictures..."
She then told us that a family that had been chosen to be in the parade hadn't shown up, and would we like to take their place. So of course we said "YES!"
So we sat on a float with just the four of us, dressed up as explorers waving to everyone for the next half hour. And that's alot of arm waving...my arm is still killing me. Needless to say it was a blast. The girls thought it was the coolest thing ever, and even though you could see the same look of "who are these people" on everyones faces, when they saw us beaming and waving, they smiled and waved back and took our picture. We felt famous. Even afterwards we would see people pointing us out to others and whispering. It was cool.
We were given a disposable camera to use during the parade, so once the film gets developed I'll put up some pics. It was definately the highlight of our day.
The only downside to it was that when the day was done we realized that when we went back to the locker after the parade we left our Mt Everest picture sitting on the bench. And thanks to the great customer service we are going to get it reprinted, so it's all good.
After the parade we went to the Kilaminjaro Savannah ride, which was pretty neat. Real animals in some pretty realistic natural environments. We got some pretty good pics during that too.
So at the days end the vote for the best event and best part of the day is:
Maegan: best event: Mount Everest best part: Parade
Gwyn: best event: Mount Everest best part: Parade
Martha: best event: Mount Everest best part: Parade
Meesh: best event: Mount Everest best part: Parade
Pictures will be coming...I promise.
By special request we are going to post about my interaction with a hologram. Gwyn and Maegan had found this desplay of a certain creepy type of spider. Of course Martha didn't care for it and we all laughed. Then with my certain innate curiosity, i reached in to touch the glass or whatever was holding the spider, when the spider moved. I jumped. I jumped far, and loudly causing the girls to scream and jump even further. It turns out that they had the spider on some sort of hologram, which was designed to wiggle when you put your hand inside. The jerks. Unfortunately the scare caused my back to spasm, which made it hurt badly (I am recovering from back problem anyways). The girls think that this is very funny.

DisneyWorld Trip day 1
Well we made it here, and our condo is amazing! It actually lived up to the online pics and comments we read about. It has a very serious nautical theme, and Linda is in our thoughts as we sit here, knowing that she would have loved it.
One comment on the flight down from Denver (I lost all the Indian Poker games BTW); it just so happens that 18 years ago almost to the day I came down here on a trip with my family to DisneyWorld then up the coast to Alabama where we saw Patrick graduate from AIT in the Army. During that trip we almost saw the space shuttle during one of it's launches; we went out to the Cape only to find out that the flight had been canceled due to weather. Well as we were flying into Florida we were watching the news (Frontier Airlines is the best - directTV at each seat) and there was a launch scheduled. It came down to the wire as to whether the weather was going to cause problems again, but this time the launch wasn't delayed...and we just missed it! The pilot was trying to orient the plane so that we could see the launch, but a wall of clouds got in the way. Apparently the flight deck got an amazing view as the shuttle rocketed into space about 60 miles away from us. Double damn. Well, maybe we'll come back in another 18 years and I'll have another chance :P
Not much else to report about the first day. We have a full kitchen, so we went getto grocery shopping (there is a Walmart just down the street). We just about stole the cart so that we wouldn't have to carry everything back, but we just couldn't do it. So we walked back with walmart bags dangling all over us..a memory to cherish :)
Once I figure out how to post pictures to the blog, I'll put up some pics of the day, of the condo, and of the girls swimming.
