Hey everyone!

We kind of snuck away from California for the weekend to spend some time with Elissa's family. And of course, being that Elissa's family live in Florida how could we NOT spend at least one day at a theme park?

So today we headed to WDW for some Epcot and Magic Kingdom Fun. Here's the breakdown...

- We were really expecting Saturday of Labor Day Weekend to be PACKED! It wasn't at all!
- Rode the "non-spinning" Mission: Space to see what it was like and to be honest, it was still quite a bit of fun!
- Got on Test Track, Journey Into WAAAAY too much Figment, then rode Soarin'
- After riding Soarin' we went to ride Soren! And we did! =)
- Did the "lap" around World Showcase, did some shopping in Japan, and it was time to complete our Epcot day.

- Took the Monorail over to Magic Kingdom.
- Where are the crowds?!?!? Everything seemed like it was a 20 minute wait or less!
- Got on Space Mountain, Buzz, Peoplemover (why did CA have to screw this up???), Big Thunder Mountain, and then it was off to the best part of the day...

- OHANA'S!!!!! Yummy meat on sticks and LOTS of it!
- It was time to end our day and head back to the hotel after a red eye flight and a long day at Disney.

Anyway, onto some photos...

"Wonders of Life"...DEAD!!! So sad I miss Body Wars and Cranium Command.

Soren is out there somewhere...and we're gonna FIND him!!!!

OMG! It's Epcot...THROUGH THE TREES!!!

This must be how God sends a text message to Jebus.

A rare sight, Carousel of Progress was spinning round and round.

Ahh, Magic Kingdom's Space Mountain which is my favorite Space Mountain "track layout." Four spots of airtime in the back seat! If this version had the music and the effects of the Hong Kong Disneyland version it would easily be my FAVORITE!

"Hey California, Florida has had this effect since 1975!"

And it has cool spacemen doing manual labor during the lift hill.

Just in case you forgot how to wash your hands, Disney reminds you! Too bad there were no instructions on how to take a dump! Sorry for the mess!!! =)

Magic Kingdom still has their Peoplemover.

"Hey Disneyland, where's your Peoplemover?" =)

Awww...Reed and Stacey look SOOOOO cute...now go blast some aliens!!!

"Hi, I've been up for about 30 hours now and I look like total crap! But Thunder Mountain still likes me!"

OMG! OMG! IT is *THE* yes...you know it *SIGNATURE SHOT!!!!*

Now we're talkin! Yum...

Lots of fire means lots of charred animal flesh!

"Cousin Debbie, I would like two more skewers of charred animal flesh, please!"

And we leave you with this fairly mundane photo from Ohanas. We look tired, but you would be too if you ate two cows, a turkey, and some random meat parts!

Hope you liked the update! =)

Great pictures, Robb! Looks like you had a great time. I am driving down to Florida in October for HHN with my friend Dave.

Awesome! When are you going? There will be quite a few of us down there on Thursday Oct 19th.

--Robb

Aww, bummer... I will be arriving on the 22nd, and leaving on the 28th. I would have given you a ride in my go cart.
