I had thought that Tatiana would love the Remi ride. It sounded like Spiderman and she loves that. We had Oga's reservations at 9:30pm so the afternoon park was locked to HS. The family wanted to wander around the world showcase, so Epcot was the morning park. Since it was, I thought we'd early entry Remi. That was soooo not worth it. We got there early and they had us wait far away from the World Showcase area. We were in the front of that area and could sit down, but the wait was long. Then when they let us go it was a looonnngggg power walk to Remi. Then there was still a line of about a half hour when we got there. I should have totally just bought that ride. I thought it was cute. Scotland and Tatiana just thought it was OK. I pointed out that it was like Spiderman but Tatiana pointed out that the Spiderman line was shorter. So basically, it wasn't worth the bother. I have to agree with that.
After Remi we meandered World Showcase. I'd gotten a Soarin reservation so we explored England on our way there. So, we didn't get to explore World Showcase much after all. We enjoyed the maze they had. I tried to get a Rose and Crown lunch reservation. There was some available but the app kept messing up.
We all liked Soarin' but I think it was a one-and-done. Then we went inside the golf ball to do the Space thing in there. That was amusing. Tatiana had been exhausted but sitting on the Space seems to have revived her. They had some game-ish machines setup and we enjoyed those. Tatiana and I worked so hard at the energy game that my arms were tired and we were ready to go.
We had our normal relaxing time at the condo. Since we knew we'd be there after close we didn't leave the condo until about 3:30pm. Tatiana loves to wear her Jedi robe and Yoda ears. It makes me so happy! Her count of compliments was 180-something last night. Sometimes she'll lightly hum a sing to herself and her head/ears will bop side-to-side. It is adorable! Last night she said to me, "Mommy, I will love this trip for forever." I just had to hug her. Both Scotland and Tatiana have said several times how much fun they are having and thanking me. As we discussed when leaving the parks last night, every day has been different, but still great. They also joke by talking to each other about "Remember Mommy promises that the next vacation will be even better." Every family vacation truly has been better than the previous one. But I told them, "This is as good as it gets. Don't expect the next one to be this great."
We had a Millennium Falcon reservation for 4:30pm. So, we explored the shops on the way. On the ride we were assigned Gunner-Engineer-Engineer. Tatiana was disappointed because she wanted to be left-right pilot. It was still fun. I offered Tatiana my Gunner spot, but she stayed the Engineer. The standby line wasn't too long, so we went again. This time we near the end of the pack in the hondo room. There was a family of 5 also near the end. So, we got behind them hoping we'd get our own room. We did. Tatiana was left-right, I was up-down and Scotland was a Gunner. We noticed that there wasn't instructions for the Engineer, so I guess that was done automatically. We didn't do as good, I think because we were down a Gunner. But, we still had fun.
Then we went to the Launch Bay. It was Star Wars and therefore called to them. The stuff in there was interesting. Not as good as the travelling Star Wars exhibit we saw, but Tatiana probably doesn't remember that. The movie is closed.
We explored some then. They love to explore. I'd like it more if it weren't for the masks. We decided to go to the Rock N Roll Coaster early. We had a 8:20pm G+ time, but I pointed out that the standby wasn't too bad and then if we liked it, we could go on again. Tatiana got scared while we were in line. She really got scared when she saw the blast-off at the ride start. She was reassured when I pointed out that there was two ways to get a roller coaster going fast. A big hill and a long drop, or a thrust forward. She likes speed, so thrust-forward was obviously a good thing. We all liked it. It was shorter than I thought it would be, when we got to the end, I thought that would be a pause in the middle. From the description I thought it would be a copy of the Rock-N-Roll coaster at Universal and we weren't impressed with that one. But, of course we are trying everything. We liked Disney's so much we tried to use our G+ time but it was still 20 minutes too early. There was the Lightening McQueen show nearby, so we saw that. It was cute. The G+ line at the coaster was very short, it was nice. Tatiana rode with me the first time, and with her Daddy the second time.
Next up was the projection shows. We had perfect timing. There was also plenty of room to find a spot. I even sat down about halfway through. There were two shows. I thought both were a bit of a mish-mash, but worth seeing once. Then we went to Oga's.
We got really lucky and got a booth. The original plan was to have two groups share a booth. But, they added plexiglass dividers. That worked for us since we had plenty of elbow room. Both Scotland and Tatiana literally glowed the entire time we were there. We ordered the meat/cheese tray, and Scotland had the drink that came in a Prog cup and Tatiana had something that changed colors. The food was good but they made things look different and it was dark. For example, I thought I was biting into a Sweet Potato and it was really a hunk of good ham. So, you didn't always know what you were eating.
Our Oga's was for 9:30pm and the parks closed at 9pm, so it was pretty empty as we left. We had plenty of time to take photos of Tatiana in the area. Tatiana at one point went up to one of the panels that had lots of lit-up buttons. She pushed them going, "Beep-Beep-Boop." Then she said, "Now that I've entered the correct 14 and a half digit code in that one, I am able to enter the 20 digit code in this one." I'd been a little confused, but happy, that they weren't shooing us out. Then I saw a large pack of teenage girls entering. It was evening of the special event for the cheerleaders. They went straight to the rides. So, that is why they didn't care how long we stayed and took photos.
