Day 6: Park Hopping

We finally took advantage of having Park Hopper passes and took in Epcot and Animal Kingdom yesterday. We started at Epcot with the goal being to get on Soarin' and Test Track. When we got to Soarin', we decided to just get in line and wait. The ride is like taking a hang glider through some of the most beautiful scenery in America, ending up at Disneyland. Amazing!
We then treked to the other side of Future World in hopes of riding Test Track. Again, we chose to just get in line and wait (rather than going for FastPasses). We were totally bummed when the ride went down and they told everyone that we would have to get out of line. I guess we won't see what that is all about this trip.

A friend had pointed out that we needed to stop by Club Cool in Epcot, so we did that. This is a place where you can try all sorts of drinks that are popular in other countries (like Coke is popular here). I took the kids straight to the Beverly, which I knew was particularly horrible. I have to give credit to Lizzie. Even after such a gross start, she tried every one of the other options!

We caught a quick lunch at The Land and then headed to the car to go on to Animal Kingdom. Once there, we went to the 3D movie It's Tough to be a Bug. Maury about freaked out in there and I'll admit that I was a little nervous when the whole room filled with smoke and black widow spiders dropped from the ceiling. Poor kid.

We then headed over to The Festival of the Lion King. Wonderful show...really enjoyed it again this time.
We pretty much called it a day there and headed back to the resort for a swim. Made a great call for dinner: Uno Chicago Bar & Grill. The kids got to make their own pizza, which they loved. Steve got a burger that looked Wimpy-sized and I got an individual deep dish pizza.
