Soarin' once again did not disappoint.  A beautiful score, stunning visuals and an experience that can't be beat.  You know Disney hit a home run when the guests applaud a ride after its conclusion, and Soarin' has received applause everytime we have ridden it.  My only complaint is the specs on the projection.  It sure would be nice to get a digital projection for the attraction. 





After Soarin' we decided to share the chicken breast and potato meal at Soarin', which turned out to be a mistake (we should've each ordered our own).  Then we headed onward to Test Track again, the Disney Visa Character Greeting, the Electric Umbrella for a second lunch, and Universe of Energy.  Universe of Energy is another attraction that seems to take a lot of heat.  We like it.  Not only is it one of the few attractions to still have the spirit of EPCOT Center in it, but it also has dinosaurs, and a good sense of humor.  I suppose it could have a bit more 'teeth' to it as it pertains to energy, but I can't imagine Disney taking on any controversial topic with the attraction.

After Wishes, the park closed.  11 p.m. Is far too early for us to retire, so we began the photo shoot.  I'll be honest, I did make a slight blunder here.  On our schedule, I plan the times when we will likely be out of the park.  That morning, when I consulted the schedule, I looked at that time, and confused it for the time that the park would be closing.  So when 11 p.m. Hit and we weren't allowed on an attraction, I was taken aback.  Then it dawned on me what I had done.  Although it wasn't a huge deal, we weren't in the land we wanted to be in for pictures.  Thus, our first few pictures in Tomorrowland were not so great.  We were struggling to think of good locations.  We finally did get in a grove, and got some better shots.  Although these are mostly pictures of us, there are similar shots without us for each location.  Those images are decidedly better and will be posted, eventually, on Flickr.



















We finally made our way to Main Street, and were the last guests in the park again already at that point.  That meant no Train Station pictures.  Dangit.  We did see Katie again, and talked with her briefly before heading for the exit.  Our bus experience this time flew in the face of established precedent.  Many buses were waiting for us, and none had passengers.  We found a bus, and boarded for All Star Sports.

CHAPTER V:  Characters on Parade

The next morning began for me as any morning does:  by rocking out in an extreme manner. 



With that accomplished, we headed off to Animal Kingdom. This would prove to be a very good day for character pictures.  Going into the third day, Sarah and I were concerned about our character picture count.  Sure, we had found Pioneer Donald, but other than that, it seemed that not many characters had been out.  We are big character hunters, so we were a bit disappointed in not having seen many unique ones.  We wondered if the weather was to blame, as the temperatures had crossed 90 several times the first couple of days.  However, that day alleviated our fears as we saw Brer Rabbit and Meeko at the park entrance, and Pooh and company with no wait inside.
