    Default Spring (Break) Weekend Day 5 Mon March 20th

    Last day-sniffle. Up early as usual and we took the bus over to Epcot. Normally I drive but I wasn't sure if we were going to be drinking or not so the bus it was. Waited about 15 mins, and we were there fairly early. The entrance/security wasn't nearly as organized as MK especially the ticket scanning area. Chaos.

    They let us in just as far as the front fountain (not the big middle one) and held us there. It became increasingly packed and thankfully they dropped rope about 8:45 am instead of 9 and we booked it to Test Track. It had some mechanical issues and even getting there super early we waited about 30 mins (single rider line was not open at rope drop FYI). We didn't have a FP for this so I knew we better do it while we could.

    We finished and I let hubby do Mission Space again (one of his favorites) and then we hit Ellen, just because I never know when the last time I will get to see this is. We headed over and rode Listen to the Land (a favorite) and then used our FP for the Frozen ride. I feel hubby thought this was a waste of a Fast Pass but I wanted him to see it at least once We stopped and watched the Japan movie, wow it's been a long time since I saw this-it was very lame. We snacked, munched our way around world showcase with offering from the booths. Must were just ok, the scallops from the Canada area were excellent. We stopped in and saw Voices of Liberty and American Adventure and had some more samples. It was around 2pm by then and we hit MouseGear because I needed some gifts. Got that knocked out and we had FP in about 30 mins for Spaceship Earth again but I asked if he'd rather stay for it or go and he picked go, so we headed out.

    I must add in here, with my annual pass spending only partial days in the parks was no biggie but with his 4 day park hopper it sort of hurt me (financially). I tried to get over it

    We bused back to the hotel, not a long wait and it went straight there. Seems the WL buses for the most part did not also stop at Fort Wilderness this trip.

    We spent some more time at the pool, just enjoyed relaxing. Had an adult beverage from Gyser Point (highly recommend the Apply Mule) and just tried to soak in the rest of the day. (With of course the occasional work call etc.) I packed us all up and we dressed for our 8pm dinner at Whispering Canyon.

    This meal was somewhat disappointing. It took a really long time to get our skillet (I mean come on it's what they serve?) and they did basically no fun stuff in the whole restaurant that night. Hubby was finally ready to partake and have some fun and they didn't to a thing. I mentioned it to our server before we left and he said, well our microphone is broken? Seems an odd excuse. Food was tasty. I brought half of it home (thankful to have a cooler) and we enjoyed it after we got home the next day.

    We were up early the next morning and out the door by 6:50am after waiting about 25 mins for bell services. Home by 2:30pm, uneventful. It's sort of a good thing we live about 7 hours away or I would be be down there a LOT more.

    All in all a good trip, just the right length for DH, crowds were terrible but we dealt with it
