Our several hours at Epcot Friday!

Well, let me see... our plan was to get up at a decent hour, and leave early enough to miss rush hour, maybe even in the morning!!

Um... well, I woke up around 9 or 10 and was going to lie back down for just a few minutes... and then I was embroiled in a strange conversation with this woman who wanted us to switch all our light bulbs to those squiggly energy-saving ones... and then I woke up again several hours later... Yes, alas, I fell asleep. We got a very late start.

So late that we managed to hit the thick of rush-hour traffic. Oy! So what was expected to be under two hours became like 3...

We made it to Epcot, and renewed our annual passes, but at the lowest rate (just the 4 parks -- we really need Disney in our lives but must watch our pennies -- when the house sells we may upgrade, we may not).

Since we only had a few hours we decided not to do the birthday thing then but to have a whole day maybe this week, so Cub did not get/wear the Birthday Button.

Love the Flower and Garden theme this year -- a day at the beach or some such -- pics to come!

David

I notice that. Maybe all Floridian MBer's should be required to buy Annual Passes for those of us a bit further (like Illinois or some island in the middle of nowhere. )

Re: Our several hours at Epcot Friday!

Well, we're working on the waking-up thing. Admittedly I'm still on antibiotics so that may be some excuse. And of course we aren't going to try to drive through Tampa morning rush hour traffic !

David
yay! Cavey's back!

Re: Our several hours at Epcot Friday!

I completely agree about the flower and garden theme! I love it this year! It seems less formal and more fun!

Re: Our several hours at Epcot Friday!

Okay! :) We'll probably tack our AKL and Boma visit onto this TR unless people want it to be separate...

Here we are as we just arrive around 6:30 PM. Well, okay, here is Cubby on his scooter, I'm the one taking the pic...
