WDW: Day Two

We woke up bright and early to take the first monorail of the day over to Epcot. There was only one other family on the entire train, which was really cool. We arrived at Epcot and got in line for the extra magic hours. We headed straight to the new Test Track. We rode it and then rode it again with a fast pass. Finley's annual pass had gotten stuck in the machine, so it didn't read the card, so we couldn't get a fast pass with her pass. The cast member gave us a fast pass and told us to visit guest relations to get her card checked in. We did that in between our first ride and the fast pass ride, but guest relations couldn't activate our passport. So we just dropped it and hoped the Soarin' castmember would be as nice and just give us an extra fast pass (he was!) Test Track is MUCH better in the regular line. You get to custom design your car, which was really neat. In the fast pass line you just pick a car from a group of choices, which isn't nearly as exciting. Finley loved Test Track! After that, we headed over to meet Mickey, Pluto and Minnie. Minnie was so happy that Finley had Figaro with her. Then it was off to fast pass Soarin' (noon return...they love Soarin' here) and ride Journey to the Imagination and Nemo. The boat ride in the Land had a 25 minute wait, I always remember just walking on it, so we skipped it for today. After lunch at the Land, our fast passes were ready and we lucked out being pulled from line because they needed a party of three. We then made the walk over to Hollywood Studios. Per my poor navigation, it took a little longer than expected. We got a fast pass for Finley and Clifton's favorite, Star Tours, and watched the Indiana Jones Stunt Show while we were waiting. Finley was so excited because we got the snow scene in Star Tours. We got front row seats for the Pixar Pals parade and Finley got to give George a high five! She was thrilled. We rode Star Tours again and then watched the Muppets 3D show. Finley wanted to ride something, so we rode the Great Movie Ride. She liked it so much that we rode it twice. Then we had dinner at Pizza Planet and watched Fantasmic. Finley was really good all day long, so she got to select a toy or treat before we went home. She chose a Mickey dressed as a sorcerer from Fantasmic, the perfect souvenir!
