When the Fast Pass line stetched out the door, we should have known it would be great–and it was! Oh my. Zu had been in a funk all morning after tripping and getting a nasty bruise the previous night. Test Track snapped her out of it. Thank you, Test Track.

You know how I have a need for speed and I got it quenched ok GM’s Test Track event. Riding in roofless vehicles (seemed like Saturns), we were taken on a variety of twists and turns before being rocketed around a track at speeds over 70 mph. What fun. Of is the one ride at EPCOT, I want to ride.

With the Showcase of Countries behind us yesterday, our duty was clear: bang out the rest of EPCOT. Rides of daring ahead, more in one day than the whole trip so far. Can these intrepid super-kids get it done? Just you wait! (Dramatic music rises up with a burst)

Our first true drama of the trip. Kate purchased the sweetest little box in Morocco and had carried the bag all day. Shortly after entering Mouse Gear, she realized the bag was not in her hand. Did Stella have it? John. Nope. It was gone. The three took off faster than I could stop them. Poof. They were gone and I was left with Zuzu. I stayed put, figuring they would eventually come back, or find help. Turns out Kate left it in the rest room where we had eaten dinner. Relieved, they returned and retail fun resumed. Another day in paradise.



DRAMA PART TWO: After we all regrouped and packed up to head over for the fireworks, I somehow walked off and left my iPhone on a park bench. We were ten minutes down the trail before I realized it. Returning to the spot, we realized it was gone for good. Thinking quick, I whipped out the second phone and dialed. A man answered, “I think you have my phone.” He asked where I was and returned it to me within a minute. I like to think the best of folks, but somehow it’s easier to do that at Disney World.
