When we arrived at Epcot, via the monorail! We headed directly to Epcot's Character Spot, where we only waited a short time to meet a bunch of the characters.
Dave was excited to meet Pluto!
We got Pluto's autograph along with everyone else's.
each character had a few cast member's assigned to them, so when it was your turn all you did was hand over you camera and they took a zillion pictures for you, it was great!
Goofy is rather tall.
Dave checking out everyone's autograph.
Then off to the Figment ride. Above you can see the three most famous Disney inventors.
On the Figment ride.
Figment, that crazy dragon, he made all sorts of trouble with the ride! After the Figment ride we rode Spaceship Earth!
During our stay it was the International Garden Festival.
The aquarium at the Finding Nemo ride.
Turtle Talk with Crush was so much fun! Dave loved that Crush talked and interacted with everyone.
We had a private meet and greet with Minnie and Goofy in the Disney Visa card holder club, one of the perks of being a member! There was absolutely no line at all and we got a coupon for a free 5x7 photo.
When we first went to ride on this ride Dave got a little scared at how dark it got and chickened out at the last minute. So they took us out the backdoor. When we got out two cast member's were there to talk to Dave, Melanie and Kaitlyn. They told Dave that the ride was not scary at all and that they would give him a flashlight and that he could enter the ride where the brave boys enter at (the handicapped entrance). So They told Dave to come back in a little bit and try to the ride again. So we walked around for a bit and Dave thought that he was ready to try to the ride so we entered through the brave boy entrance and got a flashlight and were off! He loved it! Both Melanie and Kaitlyn found us after the ride to give Dave high fives for being brave and award him with a Magical Moment Certificate! It was so neat to see how excited and proud he was of himself, plus how the cast members made it even more magical for him by the certificate!
Riding in our clam mobile in the Nemo ride.
Our towel bunny creation, which we found in our room when we got back from the monsoon! Yes, that's right we were totally soaked from the rainstorm that passed through. We got caught in it in Epcot so we grabbed the Monorail to the Contemporary to catch the ferry back to our hotel for dinner. When we arrived at the Contemporary we asked to see if the Ferry's were still running or if we should get a bus. They said the Ferry's were still running and since we were wet already we just thought it was best to get the next ferry. It pulled up we jumped on and as we did they shut down the Ferry's!! So know that we are even more wet we walked back up the dock to the Contemporary were the staff was handing us stacks of towels to dry off with. So we were then off to find a bus to the Wilderness Lodge. . . too bad they don't run buses between hotels, but one of the nice bus drivers told us he would drop us off since he didn't have a full bus. So needless to say we were very very very wet. I think it was raining every directions possible!!
