Florida Family Vacation Day 6

Journal Entry: Friday, October 8, 2010

Last night when we were making our plan for today, we decided we would sleep in a little today. We were still on the go fairly early though and started our day by going shopping for a couple of hours. Everyone made some purchases but we will most definitely be doing more shopping in the coming days.

We had lunch at the outlet mall before we made our way to Disney's Epcot. We planned to go to the park later in the day as we were going to stay for the Illuminations show at 9pm. As it turns out, we probably should have gone to the park earlier in the day because we didn't actually make our way though everything. The best ride of the day was Test Track and Cameron loved it! I is so much fun to see how excited he gets.

Epcot was very busy today as they are currently celebrating their 15th Food and Wine Festival. We all met up shortly after 7pm at the Canada pavilion. We found a spot that we thought would be good to watch the Illuminations show from and parked ourselves there. We took turns going to get something to eat so we would lose our spot. Matt and Cory both decided to tackle the giant deep fried turkey leg this evening, which surprisingly tastes just like ham. They couldn't quite finish the turkey legs but they made a big dent in them.

The Illuminations show started promptly at 9pm. It is a show with fountains, fire, lights, fireworks and music. I am pretty sure this was the best fireworks display that any of us have ever seen. Although everyone in the park was leaving and going to their cars at the same time, the system used at Disney makes everything run so smoothly and we were on our way home in no time.

After another long and eventful day, we are all very tired but ready for more tomorrow. Tomorrow we plan to go to Disney's Animal Kingdom because it shouldn't take a whole day to get through...maybe. Not sure what else we'll do tomorrow but we may go mini golfing in the evening.
