After the safari we made our way to Asia. Stopping for what is I assume one of Zoe's favorite things in AK (since we always have to stop for her to play with)
But wait, there was another reason to stop!!!
In Asia, we found ourselves doing what most people head there for.
What a cool queue!
Now, I must have gone once with Zoe (it is about all I can tolerate) However from this day there are more pictures of Kira and Amanda on EE.
I wonder did they sneak on here first thing while Zoe and I were at breakfast?
Toward the end of the day I talked Kira into going to see ITTBAB. She really does not like that show. It has always terrified her since she was young and we first saw it in DCA.
We were then done with AK for the day. On our way out we saw this guy.
He was HUGE! So I decided I needed a second picture to show scale.
Once back at POFQ we spent some more time at the pool.
It was such a nice day for it!
I am not sure where we went for lunch. We had an ADR at Chefs de France, but I know I canceled it.
sometimes I wish I could just remember things.
What I do know is that we ended up in Epcot. Not sure if this is of the girls going from AK to POFQ or from POFQ to Epcot. The placement in the roll suggests it was after the pool time... but did they not change into different clothes? Maybe not... considering that this is FINALLY getting to the end of the trip. 10/4 is the last park day... with 10/5 being the travel day home.
I bet we were low on changes of clothing.
We stopped in SS to eat.
I believe this was Amanda's
Kira and I had the tuna and it was as yummy as ever!

After this we checked on the wait for Soarin. Even though the park was getting close to closing the line was still very long. So I did something that I had not done yet in the trip. I went to guest services and got Zoe a GAC. Technically, Zoe is disabled. However, I don't think she has any obvious outward signs. I try to not treat her differently and so getting the GAC is just not something I really think is necessary. However on this trip we had many an episode where due to her disability we had to leave the line. If the line is short there is not that much trouble... but the risk of waiting in a line for over an hour means that there is a good chance we would have to leave before getting to the front. Given that we had not yet road Soarin this trip and given that we only had one more day, I was able to justify taking advantage of the GAC. I honestly believed that if we had not, we would not have been able to ride Soarin. So please don't judge me
Of course at guest services, they were more than happy to give her the card. With the card in had we went back to Soarin and were able to ride.
Once we were done with the ride it was time to leave the park...both excited and sad that the next day would be our last full day in the park.
We really had not connected with B, L, S or K since our lunch. We had some text going back and forth but sadly we hadn't really seen much of each other.
B asked that Zoe and I stop by their room once we returned to POFQ. B was so nice and had a gift for both Zoe and I. Makes me sad now to think about it. I am sure I didn't seem as grateful as I actually was. I just am never sure how to act when I have nothing to give back. I am fine giving... and happy to do so, but I feel out of place when someone gives me something without having something to give to them.
I thought I had mentioned the shirts that she gave us in an earlier post... but it was in fact this night that she gave them to us. She was too kind.
