Today we had a morning in the villa by the pool and just relaxing.  We got to the Epcot Centre about 1330.  We went on a time travel expedition ranging from the cavemen to present day technology.  We had photos with Mickey, Minnie, Pluto and Goofy.  We went on the Finding Nemo ride which was pretty good, especially for little kids.  We had lunch in the Sunshine Seasons bistro and then went on Shuttle launch to Mars simulator.  I was the pilot........we crash landed horribly.  We all survived though.  Dad was the commander.  Mum was a bit worried because when we got in there were sick bags to use in the console!!! Lexie actually held one throughout the ride.  It was a pretty cool ride.  I loved the G-forces!!  Sam and Al felt sick for quite a while afterwards.  After that we went on a ride called Soarin'.  This was a hang-gliding simulation.  We flew over heaps of great places in California, when we flew over the orange orchard we could actually smell the oranges!  It was getting late but we didn't want to miss anything so we went on the Test Track.  This was like a test track for new cars and we were the crash test dummies.  I liked when the cars went speeding around the track.  It was a bit jerky when we did the brake tests etc.

By this time it was about 2045 at night - the fireworks went off at 2100.  They were spectacular.  By the time we got home we were all knackered and had to go to bed.  Big day tomorrow .............. Typhoon Lagoon!!!!!
