Amie & Family - Septmeber 2006

Our Character count by Tuesday was up pretty high...we ended up with over 100 pics with Charcters and 70 autographs...!!!

***Tuesday Sept 19th***
We woke up to a wake up call with Mickey and Friends. We did the wake up call every day...what a great way to wake up...huh? *LOL* it is so cute they yell Gooooodddd Morning! and they talk and little and say it's time to get up...how cute. Sometimes it was Stitch..it was fun! and always puts a smile on my face. We would set it so Tyler could answer it at times to.

We had breakfast at Ohana's...this was a great Charcter breakfast. Wonderful way to start the morning. The Staff was wondeful, we had a family pic done and it turned out great! the charcters were wonderful they took there time with each child and really spent time with them and did some funny things. They had a cute parade that the kids could dance around to it was fun. Everything was served family style. It was a yummy breakfast and we really enjoyed this. We kept the car there and headed to MK We got there just as they were dropping the rope. This is so fun to watch...it was a great morning. When you get there that early all the CM's have Mickey's hands on and they wave and say Good morning and it is just a friendly and fun way to start off....

***Thursday Sept 21st***

Today we did Epcot. I really really enjoyed this with Tyler. We did a ton of things here. If you go to the World Showcase when you start off in Mexico they give you a mask and they stamp it and give you a paper die-cut you attach to the mask after you color it...they call these "charms" you do this with each country and when the kids are finished they get a poster with all the chacters on it. They also get a necklace that is a badge that you do the same thing...this was a great family thing to do together and Jim of course did one to. They had a blast and it was alot of fun. I really really enjoyed this. We shopped and got a class sketched with our name and date, bought Jim's parents an Anniversary present here and we bought a few things from Germany for my husband. I put a hat on Tyler from each country and took his picture to scrapbook his "Trip Around the World"....he loved it.

We did a ton of charcters again and rides.

Jim rode Mission Space the rough verison twice. He said it was not as bad as people say..I will take his word on that.

We did:

Spaceship Earth
Test Track-although Tyler was old enough after we got off I wish I didn't take him on it. I think it was to much for a little guy. Just because they are tall enough doesn't mean they should ride it. That was one time deal for me.
Innoventions East and West...Tyler loved these! it was like 2 interactive places
The Living Seas
Turtle Talk with Crush!...LOVED...LOVED ...LOVED THIS! this was awesome and a MUST DO AT DISNEY! this was Crush from Nemo and it was an interactive Turtle that interacts with the kids...it was great!
Soarin (we did this 3 times) loved this...great ride!
Living the Land
The Circle of Life
Journey into Imagination with Figment
Honey, I shrunk the Audience
Imageworks
Hubby did space Mountain (twice)

Then we did the World showcase.

We also did the Coke tasting we have done this a few times...

Saw a ton of charcters:

Epcots Charcter COnnection
Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofey, Chip and Dale, Pluto
Aladdin and all the charcters to go along with this
Winnie the Pooh, Piglet, Eyeore and Mary Poppins

We saw Illuminations Reflections of Earth 4 times at least! love it...love it:) I really enjoyed alot with Epcot this time around. We had great family time and Tyler was learning alot as we were going on. I really enjoyed it.
