"What do you want, you horrid bitch?"

Well apparently today we got to deal with Tropical Storm Andrea.  The guy at the gate of Epcot said we should expect eight inches of rain, and I think we probably got about that much.  The wind was also awesome too, especially when you are walking around in a garbage bag with holes in it and a picture of Mickey on the back of it.  They really need better closes on those things because the wind was happy to open up the holes between the snaps and then shove rain water into your poncho.  My feet were totally soaked within about two minutes of being in the park.

Needless to say when there is a tropical storm all up in your business it's hard to get a lot of pictures, and really you don't want to be outside much.  We headed straight to Soarin' to get fast pass (which was good because the standby line was 120 minutes.  With our fast pass in hand we headed over to Mission Space to take our trip to Mars.  It's a fun ride, and the line was only about 15 minutes which was nice.  We wanted to ride Test Track, but with the rain it just wasn't going to happen, so hopefully we'll be able to give it a try tomorrow or something.

We then headed around the world.  The other disappointing thing about a tropical storm is that there aren't any street performers out doing their cool little shows, so mostly we just went in the shops and looked around.  Tori and Jasmine had a nice time with the troll.  In Germany we stopped and got some caramel covered cookies, which were delicious.  I wanted to see the drum show and the candy lady in Japan, but the weather didn't work for that.  We can try to see the drums later, but the candy lady doesn't work on Fridays or Saturdays.  Sad.  In Morocco we decided that we'd have to come back tomorrow for shawarma, and then headed to France for a delicious dinner. The Lobster Bisque was wonderful, and I think everyone was quite pleased with their meals.

Feeling exhausted we headed back to the hotel early to relax a bit.  We watched Indiana Jones since Jasmine hadn't seen it and Tori saw it so long ago she didn't remember it.  It was fun, we snacked a bit, and then when it was over we decided since it finally stopped raining to try and go to Hollywood Studios to see Fantasmic.  This turned out to be a great plan because there weren't many people in the park and we got to ride the Tower of Terror at night, while waiting for the line to queue up for the show.  We even got really good seats because it was the second showing.  So all in all despite that horrid bitch, Andrea, we had a good day in Disney.

Picture(s) of the Day:

The Hollywood Tower of Terror all lit up on the Palm lined streets.  It wa sa lot of fun to ride it at night because you couldn't really see when you made it to the outside part where you drop.  You could kind of tell when the car was in place, but only if you rode the ride in the past.  It was great to come back at night, and that the park was open till 10 which is later than all the other parks.

This is in the Mexico portion of Epcot and is just a bar that sells tequila.  The menu is literally a page long, and they have one that's $45 (they sell individual drinks, so that isn't the price for a bottle).
