Make a Wish Trip Day 4

Ahhhhh day 4, the day when at 7 am you wake the kids up and they look at you with pain and sleep in their eyes, begging you for more rest, and a podiatrist.  Then you get them to the Gingerbread house for breakfast and they make many "trips" through the buffet line picking this, then that, then a little more of that.....and before you know it we are in the rental van with  happy kiddos.  We went through the rest of  Epcot today then moved on the Disneys Hollywood Studios.  Before we left Epcot we used our special Make a Wish Pass for a VIP room at the Epcot ball.  We were very impressed, interactive computers, drinks, and a place to rest in the peace and quiet.  Plus when we left they took us a back way right on to the ride in that building.   The highlights of today were seeing Carter's excitement over the Star Tours ride and the fear we all faced in the Tower of Terror Ride and Aerosmiths Rockin Roller Coaster.
Just like monkeys --- Zoe is grooming Carter while we wait for a ride.
Zoe found some baby ducks to cuddle with at Epcot.  How did Michael and I get an animal lover, both of us are animal tolerators?!
 
I took this picture for that day in the future when we replace our ancient front door--I want this one next!
We went to the Beauty and the Beast show at Hollywood studios, it was good,and not just because we got to sit for 30 minutes.
The fam on the bus for the backstage tour at Hollywood Studios.
Sammi entering our secret code to be admitted to the VIP room at Epcot.
Base 21 VIP room.
Zoe distressed that her feet still hurt even though she switched from tennis shoes to flip flops.
 
This is possibly my favorite picture of our trip, the boys and their Dad holding hands, excuse me while I sigh and wipe a tear!
Carter on that speed bike racer thingy from Star Wars, he was bummed it didn't take off and go.
 
Cougar was so excited getting on the star tours ride that he was shaking!  He kept saying "I tan't believe I det to do dis"!
Fire, flood, just like any day with the Noftles.
Michael and the kids in France (Epcots' France).
An actual Darth Vader Costume---thrillsville!
The good ole' USA at Epcot. 
Zoe really got into the whole posing for pictures thing, she has modeling in her future, she'll need to make alot of money to pay for all her pets!
When we got off the Tower of Terror ride (if you look back to Nov. 2008 you'll see I vowed to never go on this ride again---I will do almost anything for my kids!) Carter said "remember me to never go on this ride again".
The boys waiting for the Toy Story Mania ride---we all LOVED this ride!  Another point scoring competitive ride.
