Disney World: Day Three

We were once again up bright and early to make it to Epcot at park open. Epcot did not open early like Hollywood Studios did, so we were there in perfect time to ride Test Track and grab a fast pass for it. There are now sending the fastpasses to design your own vehicle, but you have to do it in a group. Finley had fun designing a purple truck and a pink mini car in her two rides. She loves going fast! Finley rode Nemo, but was most excited to ask a question in Turtle Talk with Crush. Luckily we were at one of the first shows of the day, so it wasn't crowded at all and Finley was the first kid selected to ask Crush a question. She asked "Do fish bite?" Answer, "They do!" Finley was so proud to have participated in the show. The Flower and Garden Festival is going on right now and it is incredible. Epcot looks better than I have ever seen it and the character topiaries are adorable.

Finley played and rode Journey Into Imagination while we waited for our Soarin' fastpasses to be ready. After a ride on Soarin, we took the Land boat tour before our lunch in Italy. We used the boat to cross over the lake for the first time ever. You can roll the stroller directly on, so it is a really easy way to get across the water. Finley was exhausted and not hungry at all during lunch, so we headed back to the hotel to get a nap in before our evening in the Magic Kingdom.

Getting to the Magic Kingdom was the first time I missed staying at a monorail resort. We had to drive fifteen minutes to the parking lot, then take a tram, then take the monorail and then we were finally there. Finley wanted to fastpass Crooked Choo Choo, so we did that and watched the Country Bear Jamboree while we waited for them to be ready. The line got really short after our first ride on Big Thunder Mountain, so we rode it again with only a 5 minute wait. For how crazy the park was, I was amazed. Especially since it was 80 minutes wait when we got to the park. We grabbed a quick dinner and headed over to the Haunted Mansion. Finley announced to the whole room to keep their backs away from the walls before the cast member got a chance to. It was too funny! After the Haunted Mansion we rode It's a Small World, Teacups and the People Mover (Finley's current favorite ride.) Space Mountain had been closed all day and was completely lit up inside. It was neat to see it with the lights on from the People Mover. We decided to skip the Electric Light Parade since it was so busy, so we rode Stitch's Great Escape, danced with Chip, Dale and Stitch and rode Buzz Lightyear before ending the night with the Castle Show and fireworks. We are sleeping in tomorrow! 10 pm fireworks make for a late night.
