Breakfast With Mickey

This morning we were up bright and early for a character breakfast with Mickey and Friends. It was at Chef Mickey's at the Contemporary Resort.

Here is the Chef going over the menu for the girls.

First to the table was Goofy.

Epcot

Tropical Storm Fay has decided to take its time moving through, currently it is sitting southeast of us and dropping loads of rain to those areas. As well it is producing showers throughout the day in Disney World.

The weather didn't seem to scare the crowds away like yesterday. Most rides were busy, Spaceship Earth was about 30 minutes. Soarin was 20 minutes and we Fastpassed Test Track and Mission SPACE.

Here we are, a little wet but in the happiest place on earth.

The Turtle Talk With Crush was enjoyed by all of us.

We all went on Mission SPACE, Susan and Gillian went on the Green Team, the milder of the two versions. Angela, Claudia and I went on the Orange Team which is the more intense version.

Mousekeeping

Today when we came back to our room, the mousekeeper had left the girls a little surprise to keep their stuffed animals company. Here is a penguin to play with Angela's penguin she got at the Georgia Aquarium.

Animal Kingdom Extra Hours

After a rest at the hotel, we headed over to Animal Kingdom to take advantage of the extra park hours for Disney Resort guests. The first stop was Everest Expedition, Angela has been dying to go on this ride since she first saw it. The wait was less than 10 minutes.

We rode it twice, Gillian said she had blisters on her hands from gripping the rail so tight.

Here are the Expedition riders.

Not sure what this was, but it was in the Asia section of Animal Kingdom.

You can't really see it but the sun actually came out while we were on Everest the second time.

We headed back to Everest Expedition after dinner and Angela, Claudia and I rode it again, this time in the dark for a third time.
