Our SE pics - hahaha. So we did SE, Soarin' and Living with the Land. It's pouring and will be for a bit so we are switching it up and doing a monorail crawl to some of the resorts....Poly, GF, and the Contemporary.

That's the spirit, don't let that rain get you down. You are probably not the only one with those same thoughts though.

You are my kind of guys when it comes to Disney food. DH and I don't really like to do TS at Disney because we think it takes too much time away from our rides/shows/people watching fun, but we love Sci-Fi Diner! Cosmic Rays, BOG and Les Halles Boulangerie Patisserie are three of our favorites for CS meals! Enjoy awesome

It's raining buckets in SW Florida today, I hope it's not so bad in Orlando.

That's exactly our thought process too! Funny. The rain stopped and now it's super toasty! Time to go change my shoes and socks. And hope things stay dry for Illuminations!

Hi Spook. Mine was the croque Monsieur and Joe had the ham and cheese on a toasted baguette. Both really good. We followed up with a stop at Le Glacier. I had a cup of the salted caramel ice cream and joe had the strawberries and cream macaroon. Both were excellent.

We have dinner ressies at Beaches and Cream later. Then back to EPCOT - we still have a lot to see there.

We called and checked on Gus and Dora as well. We miss them a lot!

I loved being able to post a real-time trip report thanks to my smart phone, and now I love reading yours and looking at the photos.

A few more pics from Epcot and a stroll around the Boardwalk.

We spotted a group of about 20 younger guys that would appear to have all rented electric scooters for the sole purpose of drinking around the world showcase. If they were already on the verge of being obnoxious at 5:00, I can only imagine what they will be like later. That is disturbing and one thing I really don't like about alcohol and Epcot. I know most people are responsible, but there always seems to be a few bad apples.

Great live report Jeff! Glad you guys are having a great time. awesome

I know what you mean about the alcohol situation at Epcot. This past trip, we saw a guy getting served beer at the bar inside the Germany pavilion. He took his plastic cup of beer from the counter and it was sloshing all over the floor and he could barely stand up, let alone walk.

I really don't think they should be serving people who have obviously had 3 too many.

At Fantasmic the other night, we kept seeing people getting these brown paper grocery bags delivered from people in a red tent down at the bottom left of the stage. We couldn't figure out what it was until Joe came across this article. Now we know!

We had some time to kill before Illuminations so we decided to do Test Track on standby. Wait time was posted at 50 minutes. Took about 60. We were in no hurry and didn't mind at all. Some pics. Seemed a lot better this time around than when we were here in 2013. Was a blast!

"Now it's hot again!"

You know what they say about Orlando, "if you don't like the weather, wait five minutes."

The safari trek was awesome! Very active. We did that and then the jungle trek before heading to the Lion King.
