Day five found us standing in line before 9:00 a.m. for the Soarin' ride at Epcot. We did the child swap and Tommy and Connor waited while I rode with Dacey, Jaden, and Isaac. This ride was fantastic!!! It surpassed all others in my quest to find my favorite ride at Disney World. After my turn Tommy rode with the big kids and agreed with my assessment. You really felt like you were hang gliding over spots all over the map. From there we headed to Nemo and Friends. This of course was Isaac's favorite ride in all of Disney World. (The adults found it rather boring... especially following Soarin'!) We all loved Turtle Talk with Crush. The kids raised their hands to ask questions and then Crush would select children in the audience and answer their questions. Crush picked "the little dude on the end in the blue shell" or as we like to call him, Jaden. After asking his name Crush asked, "So Jaden, dude, like what's your question, man?" Jaden asked him where the turtle world was and Crush replied, "Dude, it's like in the big blue. It's awesome here! Totally!!" It was cute... like totally!
Tommy really wanted to ride Test Track so when we finished up at The Seas we headed over to get fastpasses. Along the way we found a beautiful butterfly garden and children's play ground. The kids and I waited there and Tommy went ahead and got the fastpasses.
Epcot was hosting their Garden and Flower Festival while we were there. The topiaries of all of the different Disney characters were beautiful. Our favorites were Tinkerbell, Snow White, and of course, Lady and the Tramp.
We ate lunch at Sunshine Season's at The Land pavillion. After lunch we were off to the World Showcase. We stopped in England and then France. The kids were so excited to spot Belle from
Beauty and the Beast at France so we stopped for autograph's and pictures. Belle is Dacey's favorite Disney princess... and while we did not know it before we do now... also Isaac's! Isaac told me while we were standing in line waiting our turn that he was going to ask Belle to marry him. So as they were posing for pictures I mentioned to Belle that Isaac was indeed planning to propose. She said she was thrilled and instructed him as to how to kneel on one knee to offer a proper proposal. He looked up at her with his huge, blue eyes and said, "Belle, will you marry me?" She replied that she was so touched but that her beast would probably not like that much. She offered him a kiss on the cheek instead and I think he was satisfied with the trade off! lol
The weather started clouding up so we started trying to hurry through at a faster pace. In Morraco we saw Aladdin and Jasmine. Aladdin is Jaden's favorite Disney movie, and he was excited to get to meet him. We then headed toward Germany to meet Snow White. (For years Snow White was Dacey's favorite princess and she still adores her.) When Snow White and Dopey appeared we were second in line to meet them. Dopey went to great lengths to entertain Connor. It was adorable. Isaac again was smooched and again delighted. (I think he's grooming to become a lady's man! LOL) Within minutes of seeing Snow White and her dwarf pal, it started raining. We boarded a ferry and headed back to future world. Once we exited the boat, the bottom fell out! We waited inside a store until it let up enough for us to venture out again.
It was time for us to return to Test Track for our fastpasses to be honored, but by this point they'd closed it. It was around 4 p.m. by now and we decided to head back to our resort to dry out. We had made ADR's for Crystal Palace for the next day but decided since we were cold, wet and hungry that we'd try Boatwright's Restaurant at our resort. We cancelled CP and were able to get reservations for BW for 5:00. After supper it was still raining so we returned to our room to enjoy our last night at Disney World.
