Day 5~ Diving Surprises and fun!
Tuesday, September 5th
Today we sleep late and have a late start to Epcot. When we arrive we decide to go to Sunshine Season Food Fair for an early lunch. I have the turkey muffuletta and Troy has the ham sandwich. Kyan got a pbj lunch kit that had a juice box, applesauce, and carrots in it. Trey had a kid?s turkey sub that he created . We had a butterfinger brownie and a butterfinger cheesecake. Lunch came to a total on 39.61. We also purchase a bag of Doritos for the kids $2.55 that was the most expensive bag (of $.99 Doritos) that I have every had to purchase.
After lunch we went over to Living with the Land till it was time for our fast passes for Soarin. We then went on Soarin and loved it so much as usual.

After Figment we went for a walk around the countries just spending some time visiting the shops and characters. In United Kingdom we got to meet Tigger, Pooh, &amp; Eeyore.

We went around the rest of the countries and stopped at Norway to ride Maelstrom. Checking the clock and we had enough time to visit Test Track for a fun spin. We noticed that the time was close to our reservations for Coral Reef. We had a great surprise for the kids and we was so excited!
During our meal we were seated in a much better location right next to the aquarium tank. We was so excited. We let the kids order the Illuma Beverage ? The Blue Whale? which was a cool combination of soda with a bright blue ice cube. The two drinks came to $13.40.

Also hanging on the glass was a blue dolphin which was something we had never received before. The kids loved our personalized menus and thought it was a hoot that their pictures were on them. The kids each choose French fries for appetizers, one had grilled chicken and the other had mac &amp; cheese, and both had ice cream for dessert. Troy and I both choose the NY strip and chocolate wave. Food was great as ever.

The surprise was about to come. The appetizers were arriving and Trey yells, ?A diver!? and Troy and I start scrambling for the camera and camcorder. I just then realized that my batteries were acting slow and I thought, oh please don?t die. I just hoped they would last till I could charge them tonight. About that time the diver appears right in front of the window in front of us and the kids were screaming and giggling with delight. Then she unrolls the sign and places in front of the window and Trey reads it for the table. She also grabs handfuls of shells and throws them in the air to resemble confetti. It was great and then she waved good-bye to the kids.

Dang Kristi! I was thinking this would have the MNSSHP trip report! Guess I'll sit here and wait for that!

That is sooo awesome that the sign turned out wonderfully for ya'll, love the seashell confetti. I wonder if that's why ya'll got seats right next to the aquarium, because ya'll had a diver with a sign? You need to tell Jake to set on up for me there on my birthday! LOL

Oh, that would have been a good idea. Maybe next time, it is probably too short of notice.
