Day Five: EPCOT
Today we are headed to EPCOT for some Festival of Arts! Here is our cheat sheet for the day.

I was ready for some yummy snacks!
We all woke up around 7:15. I am pretty sure we decided to not rush this morning but I did mention that if we weren't there at rope drop it, we might not get on Soarin' But it was getting to the end of our trip, so I also didn't want to push it.
The girls woke up and checked out what Tinkerbell left.

Hats around the World! I made these with Power Point and just printed them at work. So today, was a free Tink Gift day! I was looking forward to trying this as well. I thought it would make some cute pictures.

The girls soaking in the sheets.
I am sure we were fairly slow moving today. But we were able to leave the room and get to the bus stop by 8:40. And a bus arrived around 8:45!

Good Bus mojo this morning!
Once we got to EPCOT, Morgan and I went through the no bags entrance to get a rental stroller while Andy and Gwen waited in the bag check line.
I have that Morgan and I got through the tap stiles at 9:13 and then Andy & Gwen didn't get through till 9:30. Bag check at EPCOT is ROUGH! I might need to consider trying to not have bags that day. But I think that would be impossible for us.

By 9:30, we were all through and see the giant golf ball!
Once inside, Gwen decided she needed to go to the bathroom and Andy really wanted an iced coffee. So, we headed towards Test Track. We say that the Starbucks had a SUPER long line, so Andy declined to wait in that. So we made the hard left toward EPCOT. I took Gwen to use the bathroom and I noticed a small cart with iced coffee with only a few people waiting. So, Andy headed over there.
Ok, this CM took FOREVER!!!! Literally there was maybe 2 people in front of Andy and he was still waiting to give his order when we came out of the bathroom. And Gwen is NOT fast in ladies room!
While we waited for Andy to get his coffee, we checked out some of the art in the area.

I believe this was done with spray paint.

And they had some of the paint by number art hanging up from previous weeks.
Once Andy was all set, we let him take a couple big swigs while we checked out a couple perspective art pieces that got slightly washed away with the rain last night. And then headed over to Test Track. I pointed out to Andy that it was helpful sometimes to have a stroller to put things, like half drank Iced Coffee...
We went into test track around 10:00 am.

We waited here, for what seemed like an eternity, but I think it was a normal wait. It was just that it was our first ride of the day and we were ready to get going!
IMG_1110
But before long we were making our vehicles!
IMG_1110
This is Gwen's.... Low efficiency but SUPER pretty!
IMG_1110
And then here is Morgan's... High efficiency and Monster Truck ready!

Soon we were in our car. The girls sat in front together and Andy and I sat behind them.

Here is the video just in case you are missing test track or have forgotten what it is like to ride in a convertible...
SO, the big question... who's car won?

Here's Gwen's at 200...

And Morgan at 201! Close win....
We had Misson Space Fastpasses at 10:35. We finished Test Track at 10:15, so we sat down on a bench, let Andy finish his iced coffee and the girls had a snack. They were a bit crabby as they were tired. So, a little power rest was good.
Next we headed over to Mission Space.... Up next!
