A Tale of Two Disney Parks

Today was a long one, hence this blog being so late.

We got up and out a little earlier than usual. We went back to Typhoon Lagoon, the water park. Today the place was deserted - probably because it was quite cold in the morning. We had every slide done at least twice by about 2pm - there were no queues. Áine got to do a good few of them and Sheila did a few. Ronan was cameraman for the day as it was too chilly for him. All in all, this was probably the highlight of the tour so far.

Sheila suggested that, instead of staying there all day, that we could do another park in the afternoon/evening. So, after a light lunch at Waffle House, we went to Epcot. This was reasonably busy but, by avoiding the longer queues, we were able to do a good few rides. Even Sheila was suckered into doing some. We did Ellen's Energy Adventure, Missing: SPACE, Honey I Shrunk the Audience and Living with the Land (boring). We stayed on till 9pm to see the fireworks and light show. Finaly we got home at about 10pm.

The current thinking is that we may go to Cape Canaveral tomorrow.

By the Way, Treasa & gang in Doughty, I think the battery on the laptop is knackered. But I'm disappointed to hear that the power lead isn't working properly. It was fine when I left, though getting a little twisted.
