test track and countries

Test Track was the ride Kase was the most excited about. It's a fast race car ride. One of the cool thing about Disney is that while you wait in line there is all this cool stuff to look and sometimes play with. This particular ride was elevated on the ground so that you looked down into the mechanic shop. Kase having spent most of the day climbing, swinging, and poking and legs and arms thew the bars where you stand in line. (While of course his Mom kept telling him to stop because you are going to fall, hurt yourself...) So, he sticks his whole leg threw the bars gets it stuck, and yanks it back threw the bars. His leg it scrapped up, bruised, he is screaming his head off, and his shoe is no longer on his foot. Yes you heard that right the shoes has fallen down one level into the mechanic's shop. At this point I am wondering if they carry shoes in one of the many gifts shop, how much they are going to cost me, and more importantly are they going to let him on this ride without a shoe or are we going to have to stand in line again. Turns this happens all the time at Epcot and they have a special tool just to retrieve lost shoes. So, the very nice cast member take 2 second and retrieves Kase's shoe and we got on the ride with both shoes.

























In the afternoon Samantha hadn't been feeling her best, but was trying her hardest to pretend she was doing fine (she did not want to go back to the hotel) Kase was SO HOT and was ready to go back to the hotel. So we rented a stroller and bought at misting fan and everybody was feeling better so, we headed to the countries. The kids were very excited to try different foods in the different countries. So, everyone got to choose on food item and them we all shared. We ended up having nachos, terryaki beef with rice, and Japanese snow cones for dinner.










Most of the character had long lines, and the kids had no intrest in characters if there was a line. We caught Mulan just at the right time and there was not a line. Kase of course would not talk to her because she was a girl. She blew kisses at him, and her really did not appreciate it.








































Nana bought us the Rupunzel for us to watch on the way down to Orlando. It was great since no one in our family had seen it. So, everyone enjoyed seeing her tower since we had just seen the movie for the first time.

















Each one of the kids had some money to spend. Kase had to have something in every store that he went into. He bought a sword and sheild in Norway. He wanted his picture with them so we took one in italy.




















There were all kinds of amazing topararies all over the park.







































































By the end of the night we were ready to rest and wait for the fireworks. We had some snack and I had brought some glow sticks from the dollar store that I had brought with me.

























Samantha and I put glow sticks in our hair and Kase thought we looked like the statue of liberty.






























Samantha was so tired at the end of the day that she laid down on the sidewalk and went to sleep while we waited for our bus.
