Disney ... Day Three

Day three started off as a more laid back type of day than the one before. We went to Epcot and there really was absolutely no crowd whatsoever. We rode the Spaceship Earth, which is the ride in the big golf ball as I call it. The ride is pretty neat and goes through the history of mankind.

Then we went on Test Track, the race car super fast ride that is guaranteed to ruin any good hair day you might have. Jack, of course, loved that ride. Pretty much anything to do with cars these days, he loves. After we were dumped into the gift shop, I saw this backpack full of hot wheel type cars and decided to buy that for the boy and it was a huge hit. In fact, I don't think he has stopped wearing the backpack full of cars at all. When we got home, we overheard him introducing his new cars to his old cars. He is just too funny.

We also went on Soaring and that ride is really cool and even Jack enjoyed the ride. One word of caution, I would advise not to wear flip flops on the ride. Just saying.

And of course we had to go to the stupid show - Honey I Shrunk the Audience. I personally think it is one of the most stupid things to watch, but Jack thought it was funny, except the snake part.

We were going all day until about 4:00 and I suddenly realized how hungry I was - and tired. So we decided to go to Germany for dinner and while walking there, I really was excited about the bratwurst and sour kraut and maybe even a German beer. However, after walking all the way there, we found out that it was closed! How dare they. So we went to Italy and had a very yummy and fattening meal. Afterwards we made our way back to the hotel for the night.

The giant ball and Jack. They sell these things all over Disney and we were thinking about maybe buying one for all the kids in our group of friends to play with in the back yard. That is until we found out the price. That big ole ball costs $350!!!! Why? And how can it cost that much? Even if all four or five families pitched in to help pay for the stupid thing, it would still be too much money. Mind boggling.
