Ian Feeling Better

Though he'd thrown up twice this day, and though he wasn't interested in eating much of anything after lunch, Ian was pretty peppy at dinner time.

Dinner with Mickey and Friends

On Thursday night we had dinner at The Garden Grill, a rotating restaurant in The Land pavilion at Epcot. Whereas Disney characters were nowhere to be found in the EPCOT of yore, today they're everywhere, including right at your table. This night we had dinner with...

...Mickey and...

...Pluto and...

...Chip and...

...Dale.

Ian Swallowed by a Sombrero

Before dinner at the Garden Grill in The Land, we went to the Mexico pavilion, rode the boat ride, and poked about in the marketplace. We tried to get Cam to wear the (much smaller) mariachi hat for this photo, but he refused. (He's only 8, but at times his sensibilities are positively tween-like.)

Sir Ian

By the time we made it to the U.K. pavilion (two or three from the Morocco pavilion, where we'd had lunch), Ian had perked up and was ready to pose for photos again.

Vomit, Part 2

Ian threw up at about 3:30 Thursday morning, after eating almost no dinner but plenty of dessert the night before. (We left an extra tip for Housekeeping.) After lunch today, with the heat and humidity and such, he did it again. Joanna (rightly) faults me for taking this photo, and I wouldn't have posted it here except for two things: 1) Ian's Mickey ears look darn cute, and 2) Cam was a concerned and diligent big brother throughout, offering his water and doing all he could to help (offering water, support, etc.).

Day #4: Epcot

Temperature: Hot. Humidity: Extra moist. Comfort level: Nil.

Cam & Ian Visit Pooh

On our second full day at Disney, Wednesday, we went back to the Magic Kingdom and rode a bunch of rides we hadn't gotten around to on Monday. Mr. Toad's Wild Ride, one of my favorites from days of yore, has been replaced by a Pooh-themed ride, which has possibly the best queueing line at WDW, with games and play areas and all sorts of fun stuff for the pre-tween set.
