[Benjamin:] Chill day two

The first thing we did on our second relaxing day was go in the pool. For a long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long time in the pool.

Then we had a gigantic brunch at IHOP (International House of Pancakes). I think I will show you what we had rather than telling you.

You see it was truly enormous. Plus it lasted us one meal for the whole of the day. After brunch we went and did the largest shopping trip we have ever done. Before jumping back into the pool, and going to bed.

[Amelie:] Awesome brunch

On Sunday we went to the pool, we had a big swim. 

After that we went to an IHOP (International House of Pancakes) and we had a huge meal. Ben and I shared some cheese sandwiches and we had chicken fingers and onion rings. Then we had a huge  chocolate pancake with creams and cocktail cherries, making a smiley face. Under the cream of the eyes and nose there was gooey chocolate in the middle of the pancake. I was soo full I could hardly budge, people had to shove me out of my seat.

Then we went to the shops we spent most of the time looking for lost things, first we lost Ben then we lost Mummy the, then we lost our trolley and then we lost Mummy again, but we found all of these things. Then we actually got some of our shopping stuff and we jumped in the car and then we jumped in the swimming pool again with our new woggle.

[Amelie:] Epcot is awesome

On Saturday we went to Epcot but before that we went to the swimming pool for a little swim. Then we want to Epcot and there were lots of fun things to do.

 First we Fast Passed a car ride that Ben and I thought sounded fun and it was.
Then we went on a Space Mission ride twice. 

When we went on it we were thrown back for blast off. I was the pilot, Ben and Daddy were the Commander and Navigator and Mummy liked being the Engineer as she sent us all into Hypersleepmode. but then we have to wake up as there are rocks and things being thrown at us and I had to put the force field mode on but if you don't know which button to use you can press them all until you get the right one. But you don't use the gear stick until they tell you and then they tell you when to pull left, or right or back. We thought that ride was really good, which is why we did it again.
And at the end of this ride there were lots of other space games to play with. Daddy, Ben and I liked playing a game where you had to find all the astronauts in space before the sand storm comes.

After that we went to do a Nemo ride, Ben didn't really like it but I did so I went on it again, I thought that shells we were sitting in might snap down on us, like on Sponge Bob. There was also an Angler fish in the dark trying to catch Nemo which made me jump. In between going on the Nemo ride we saw a show with Crush the turtle and all he said was 'Dudes'. He spoke to Dory and told her he was speaking to the 'humans dudes'.

We found a shark play area, where Ben and I played Star Wars. 

There was lots of information about sharks and I saw things that were made out of shark in the olden days, one was a shoe.

Then we saw a Lion King show, which Ben didn't really want to do but I quite liked it. Then we went on a little ride that was quite interesting but not much fun you could find out lots of stuff like a tomato tree and we saw a lemon the size of a melon and Dragon fruit.

Then we went to do our fast pass car ride which was great fun. I designed a car first of all, by choosing the size, colour, putting a bumper on it and an engine that went really fast. 

Ben's car was the only one faster than mine. Then we got to be inside the test drive of the car and we zoomed around everywhere, and it went on the side and it even went outside. After our ride this ride was stopped as it was raining and they couldn't go in case they got electrocuted. After the ride there were lots of car things to play with. There was a racing track where I had the steering wheel and Mummy did the lever and pressed the red button to make our car go really fast. I was a bit of a crazy driver.
After that we had a little snack and drink. 

We then had a little walk around, well I say walk I was mostly asleep on Daddy's shoulder. 

It was also the wrong shoulder as it was the one with the bird stain on it. Then we came home late, again.

[Benjamin:] SeaWorld two

On Friday afternoon we went to SeaWorld. First dad went on the Manta ride, whilst Amelie and mum and I had a look at the aquarium. 

When dad had come off Manta ride, we went on something called Turtle Trek, which explains the life of a turtle as a 3D movie as though you're looking through the turtle's own eyes.

Then we went to watch a dolphin show, and the dolphins didn't have to be fed every 2 seconds unlike the killer whales. And also unlike the killer whale show, there were gymnasts. They did great stunts, for example when a woman was spinning around in the water, two dolphins each had their noises against her feet.

There were also different activities that happened in the dolphin show, such as this one:

Next we went to feed some dolphins. One of my fish was snatched by an annoying bird, possibly a great egret. The dolphins felt like they were made of rubber. We were only allowed to touch the dolphins under their chins.

[Amelie:] Safe but scary

On Friday we went to Seaworld again. We saw some flamingoes as we walked in and when we walked out. This time we went to see the manatees, leafy sea dragons, octopuses, string rays, dolphins and turtles without Daddy.

Then we went to find Daddy who had gone on a 'Manta' roller coaster ride, that me and Ben were too small for.

Then we all went to see a 3D show about a turtles journey, there was a shark that made me jump because it was in 3D. The screen was all around and above our heads and I kept trying to touch some of the things that floated towards me but I couldn't, it was just the screen

After that we went to the dolphin show. There were people riding on dolphins and  skiing on dolphins. 

The one that was really good was when some people  jumped from really high up on a platform into the deep dolphin pool. One Man jumped into the water with two dolphins, who pushed him along. 

I liked the gymnasts who were doing gymnastics in and out of the water, two of them were dressed to look like eels and they were really good. There were also birds flying around in the crowd, one nearly flew onto Daddy's head.

Then we went to feed some dolphins and pat them under their chin 'Good Dolphin'. 

I thought that was great. One dolphin kept coming up with it's mouth open wanting more fish. Dolphins feel all rubbery when you touch them. The dolphins were all playing and my hand was in the water one when one of them whizzed by and I touched its tail. The tail felt rubbery as well.

Then we went on an Antarctica ride. We chose to go 'wild' rather than 'mild', as we were both tall enough to go on either.

 I didn't think the Antarctica trip was that fun, the only bit that was fun was the spinning round. We saw some penguins in the real cold and we were in shorts and Tshirts - Brrrrrr. 

They had real snow but the decorations had false snow.

As we left we saw pelicans. It was really late, again and I'm in bed doing this blog.

[Benjamin:] Hollywood Studios

First we went to a Toy Story ride, in which you shoot lots of different things in lots of different settings I got 28% accuracy. (In this game if you just shoot loads and loads then you'll do better than if you if you pay attention to every shoot and aim).

Next we went on a Pirates of the Caribbean ride where there was Captain Jack Sparrow as an idiot! He nearly killed himself and he admitted he was his own worse enemy. 

The next ride was my favourite ride, it was called Star Tours and you were in a space ship where C3P0 and R2D2 were arguing about how to fly the space ship. When R2D2 got his way we flew at the baddies blatting them and most of the time going at light speed. When C3P0 got his way we fled from the baddies but never hit light speed. We got to deliver a rebel spy to the rendezvous coordinates. This ride was so good we went straight back on it. 

Then we went on the Toy Story ride again. This time I got 43% accuracy. 

Then we went to something called Jedi training, where you got to slash your light sabre around at someone pretending to be Darth Vader.

We also spotted 3 people dressed up as builders who were pretending to be idiots. There was a Boss who told the other 2 to go somewhere and told them to go back to where they were before and the workers were twice meant to stack cones in a truck the first time they did not do it very well but the next time they did it well. After the second time the Boss asked why they didn't stack the cones this well the first time and the wormers said it esas because the first time it was because they weren't told they were going in a break after they had stacked them.
Then I went to a souvenir shop where I got this:

[Amelie:] Hollywood Studios is Awesome

On Thursday we went to Hollywood studios. First of all we tried to get tickets for Star Wars training and we did! We got space in one of the afternoon sessions, there were 2 spaces, so me and Ben could go together. 

Then we went on a Toy Story ride and you had to shoot things, it was quite fun. We Fast Pass'd this ride to do it again, it was so good.

Then we went to The Legend of Captain Jack Sparrow adventure. I thought it was a bit scary to start with then I got used to it. Jack Sparrow was a bit stupid as 

he just wanted to drink rum. 

Then we went to the Little Mermaid show and we watched it and got wet. 

Then we went to the Star Wars ride. The captain of the ship had got off as C-3PO got onboard. Then the ship took off with C-3PO driving and he couldn't drive the ship, he jerked us around everywhere. We went back on this ride straight away. 

We also went into the Star Wars shop where we saw lots of stuff that me and Ben really liked, Mummy said we could keep looking and come back to buy it if we wanted to. 

We went to use our Fast Pass on the Toy story ride but it wasn't working, this was the second time we had a problem with a   Fast Pass ride not working.

So we went to see what else we could do and we spotted Mike and Sulley from Monsters Inc. We had our photo taken with them.

Then we went to a climbing play area, that also had water, and we played there until Daddy said the Toy story ride was open again so we went and did that ride.

We then sat down for a rest (that doesn't happen very often) with some drinks and snacks to get ready for our training.

Then we went to do our Jedi training. 

I really liked this and followed the instructions well. 

I was a bit scared when I saw Darth Vader but then then I watched some of the others having their turn and our Jedi teacher had taught us exactly what we needed to do to beat Darth Vader.

On the way back to the car we saw some people being very funny who were suppose to be building something using Cones, which they were throwing to one another and clapping. The Boss said the other two men should throw the cones to him, so they did that, then the boss shouts 'Stop throwing the cones at me!'. They were being very funny, so we sat down to watch them.

Then we went to get the things we really wanted to buy from the Star Wars ride. We found Ben's toy first and Mummy found mine, an R2D2 lunch cool bag, it makes a noise and one lights flashes and one glows. It's really good. Ben got a  Mickey Mouse with a light sabre in his hand, we like to play going on Missions with it.

Then we went back to the car, which was parked in Mickey Stage 44.
