Friday - Day 6

It goes without saying by now that of was another early start that had us arriving at Epcot well before rope drop at 9am.

First up was the big golf ball and as there was no queue this meant we could walk straight on.

We then headed to Test Track which we haven't ridden before. Unfortunately it was closed due to technical difficulties. So given that we headed for Mission Space and went straight for the extreme option. Well worth it and will probably try and sneak in a return visit if scheduling permits.

We then had a lucky break as we heard one of the CMs saying that Test Track was due to reopen shortly so we joined the line. That meant we only had a wait of around 30 minutes.  What a ride - we all agreed that we will have to do that again.

After Test Track we headed for the World Showcase as we wanted to visit a few of the countries before we left the park.

We walked from Epcot to the Dolphin resort so we could get a bus to Downtown Disney. Miss B and Miss H had not been here before and we had decided to go to Planet Hollywood for lunch.

We finally broke our hoodoo on tables and got a really good table and after we ordered the girls went off sightseeing.

In addition to this we didn't need to queue!

After lunch we had a look round the shops before heading back to the Dolphin by bus before catching the boat back to Epcot.

We arrived back at Epcot at around 5.30 and decided to head off home. The temperature n had soared past 100 and we needed to pop to Super Target.

We then spent the rest of the evening by the pool and succeeded in turning on the whirlpool - magic...

Watching the baseball while I type this with the Marlins trailing 4-1 at the top of the seventh whilst we plan for tomorrow.

You know the drill...
