Cranky Pants

We got up late today, since we were still lagged from the drive. We made it out to Magic Kingdom about 10am, and things seemed to be OK. Josh really wanted to see the characters, so we went to see Goofy, Pluto, Chip, Dale, and Mickey. Things were going well.

Jeff and Josh went on Goofy's Barnstormer (kids rollercoaster), and enjoyed it. They went on the Grand Prix Speedway, and we all took a tour of Tomorrowland on the TTA (a relaxing ride on a tram-like device). The Haunted Mansion (pictured) scared him, but he really enjoyed Splash Mountain.
It was shortly after Splash Mountain that things started going bad. Josh got very cranky, and was in serious need of a nap. No problem, we take breaks anyway. Well, it didn't help. We cut our touring early, and Jeff and Josh stayed at home and swam. Lea and I, not to be discouraged, went to Epcot.

My tangent for the day...

What is it with rude people? In Splash Mountain line, we had 3 or 4 people smoking (which is against Florida state laws), and an ENTIRE FAMILY cut in front of us! Look people, we're all waiting! We all think it's hot!! But if you are so rude taht you have to smoke in line (especially one with a lot of kids in it), cut in front of people, or wear an obnoxious amount of purfume, do us all a favor, and lock yourself in your house, and never leave again! Okay, on back to the show...

Epcot was great. Although we got there just after 7:00 (2 hours before closing), there was no line for any of the attractions! We ran on Spaceship Earth, Horizons, Universe of Energy, "Honey, I Shrunk the Audience" 3-D movie, and still had time for a snack before catching Illuminations 25, a laser light and fireworks show.
