Jimbob's Trip Report- Day 1 Pt.2

While we were eating, we could hear the screaming from the Tower of Terror which pretty much convinced JohnBen that he didn't want to go on it.
Afterwards, we headed back to the Sorcerer's hat to see some characters. Genie, Tigger, Dopey and Donald Duck were out doing meets and we got pics of them. Lilo and Stitch were doing meets in the Animation Courtyard so we got pics of them too. The park wasn't crowded today so there wasn't too many people in line for the characters.
We went on the Great Movie Ride next, which was JohnBen's first Dark ride and first experience with full size Audio-Animatronics, to which he remarked to me during the ride "This ride is wierd with a capitol "W".
We headed down Mickey Ave. (which was getting pretty deserted at about 6, I suspect everyone was lining up for Fantasmic) and saw Minnie and Pluto by their trailers but they were just finishing up their set so we didn't get pics. Across from Minnie's trailer in the old Backstage tour building Sorceror Mickey was doing meets so we got in line and had our picture taken with him.
JohnBen decided to skip the Backlot Tour so we headed to the New York St set and played around with the raining umbrella for a while. Muppetvision 3D was next, which both of us really enjoyed (Jim Henson is just as important to me as Walt Disney). It was dark by the time we left the Muppet Theatre and even more deserted, and we walked to Star Tours.
We literally walked right on Star Tours. JohnBen loved the ride but not enough to go on again. Afterwards we did some shopping on Sunset and Hollywood Blvd. I personally like the Villian's store. I bought a Hades T-shirt and JohnBen bought his first of 6 swords. We left the park about 7 and went to the boat launch to head to EPCOT.
The boat ride stopped at some resorts (Swan, Dolphin, Yacht club and Boardwalk) and EPCOT was the last stop (the ride took about 20 minutes). We entered EPCOT through the International Gateway. Our plan was to see England, Canada and Japan then see Illuminations.
JohnBen was unimpressed with England, but liked the waterfall in Canada. He also got a mask in Canada and colored it while we talked to the CM from Toronto. We went back to England and JohnBen had his mask signed and was complimented on his Harry Potter shirt. He also wanted to buy the giant tennis ball but I put the ki-bash (sp) on that. Even though he had his own money, there was no way we could get it home on the plane.
Japan was next, and most of it was spent in the department store looking for Yu-gi-oh cards (kids...). JohnBen also got his mask signed. We went to the America gift shop shortly before 9 so I could find something small (Liberty Bell). Then we found a spot for Illuminations. JohnBen really enjoyed Illuminations but decided he only needed to see it once (per trip).
We caught the bus back to All Star movies (the 2nd or 3rd bus) and turned in.

Next day: Cindy's Breakfast, Magic Kingdom, Downtown Disney and SEAGULLS!
