EPCOT

The hotel free shuttle bus drops us off at EPCOT each day, so we decided to go there. We had a fabulous day :-) We got our PhotoPass (fabulous invention) and have already had almost a hundred photos taken!! We had some really special ones too, one where we had to hold out our hands and look surprised - and by Disney Magic a Tinkerbelle appeared in our hands - how cool is that?!? And in another one we were sat down and Stitch appeared covered in ice cream!!

Another wonderful Disney invention is the Guest Assistance Pass. I talked to Guest Services this morning and explained that Little Prince has ADHD and asked if there was any way they could help us with queuing so that he didn't annoy the other guests. We were given a Pass that allows us to enter rides/meet characters by a different entrance. This saved us so much time, as mainly we were sent straight through the Fast Pass entrance. I felt a little guilty, almost as though we were pushing in or getting unearned priveliges. But then on the rides where we didn't use it, Little Prince was a pain and could have ended up hurting himself or others. At one point I was waiting for Little Prince and Mad Cat Lady who were riding Soarin' and I nearly cried (probably over tired and emotional lol) thinking how hard this holiday could have been with just me and Mad Cat Lady to wrangle Little Prince, but Disney make it all ok :-)

We spent most of the morning in the front part of EPCOT, exploring all the rides Little Prince wanted to go on. He loved everything and each ride he came off he announced that one was his favourite!! After lunch we started to travel round World Showcase. We visited Canada and then the UK, and were just crossing the bridge to France when Little Prince said he felt ill. We only just had time to drag him over to the hedges before he threw up everywhere!! For the second time today, the first time was in the hotel bathroom this morning!! As soon as he'd been sick he felt tonnes better and wanted to carry on exploring. We kept a very close eye on him as we carried on travelling round the world, but he seemed fine again! Its getting quite worrying though as he isn't eating or drinking properly and keeps being sick!! We spent the next few hours visiting the rest of the countries in World Showcase, and rode both Maelstrom in Norway and Gran Fiesta Tour in Mexico.

We then came back into Future World and re-rode the Figment ride and the Nemo ride. We wanted to go on Ellen's Energy Adventure but unfortunately it was closed, which we had to keep reminding Little Prince of every few minutes, when he again asked to go on it!

We were all tired and achy so we went to the Electric Umbrella cafe for some tea, nuggets and fries and drinks. Little Prince said he was hungry and wanted nuggets and grapes. But as soon as he sat down at the table, he couldn't eat anything. He did manage his second chocolate milk, so at least he has had some nourishment!! We did have to rush him to the bathroom as he thought he was going to be sick, but luckily it was just some dramatic retching!!!

We then made our way to our designated bus stop to wait for our bus back to the hotel. We had been waiting for a few minutes when Little Prince told us he was desperate for the toilet. I left all my things with Mad Cat Lady and me and Little Prince rushed to the toilets. He worried and panicked the whole way there and back that we would miss the bus and be stuck at EPCOT forever!! He was very relieved to see Mad Cat Lady still waiting when we got back!! The bus was twenty minutes late, and by the time it arrived Little Prince had once again convinced himself that we were going to be stuck there all night and that the Monorails would be our only way out!!! The drama didn't end there, when the bus finally arrived we were stood waiting to get on when it suddenly started to drive backwards, I had to grab Little Prince out of the way as he was about to be hit by the buses door!!! Very scary!!! The bus driver suddenly realised, jumped in his seat and put the brakes on!!! The rest of the journey back to the hotel was uneventful, Little Prince fell asleep before we'd even left the bus station!! I had to carry him back to the room, while Mad Cat Lady carried all his stuff (sunglasses, Mickey light up toy, EPCOT mask!!).

Back in the room I got Little Prince straight in bed, he'll have to have a bath tomorrow. Then I sat here and blogged about our day. I think I'm definitely addicted to blogging!!!!!
