Cass Costello knows nothing.

We both napped; needed it badly; dinner in room from RF; great, short thunderstorm
Off to EPCOT by bus, at park around 7:45
Journey into Imagination, Mission Space, Living Seas, Land, Test Track, Spaceship earth (much newness, postcard from future)
Low crowds - Extra Magic Hour rocks
Back late - asleep by 1am; Squirt and Craig can’t come; Ben’s sad
Slow day tomorrow; maybe just Studios (Ben wants to try tower of terror)

awaken by phone call from Craig 7:30 - trying to figure out if he & squirt should come
Whispering canon packed, jaunt over to Roaring fork; decent, quick
boat, then monorail, then monorail to EPCOT
Test Track - long line, but got pulled aside by GM worker for “behind the scenes” access - COOL!
Mission space: short wait for GREEN - way cool
Back to hotel to meet Mom and Cole around 12:30 - 1 hour exactly from park to hotel lobby
message from Mom - not coming b/c a/c is dead at home, need it fixed before the weekend
Cortney, Craig, Cristy, Lilia and Cole may come up tomorrow
Lunch @ WC - fun waiter made hat for Ben out of a napkin, group birthday songs
arcade for more racing fun - Ben laughs so much

Hidden mickey hunting around lodge, found 8 or 9, including one on a horse’s ass
ARcade, NASCAR racing with drafting and boosts - HUGE fun for Ben
MK around 6, crowded as hell, 40 min wait posted at Pirates

light showers, threatening skies, crowds thinned
Haunted Mansion, then Splash mountain - rush for Ben, then Big Thunder Moutain
skip parade, Small World for Mom, then walk around to ice cream on Main St.
“Wishes” fireworks with Castle in foreground - awesome.
Lovely boat ride back to lodge; 10:30. Shower and bedtime.
