We were out of the room by 0830 and on our way to EPCOT. When we arrived we quickly moved to Soarin’ and had only an 18 minute wait. From there we went to Imagination. We then walked out to World Showcase. I was having pain in my left knee when I pick it up.  We found two Advil and went to Impressions de’ France. We had sandwiches made from lamb byproducts at Tangerine Café, in Morocco, and then headed for the American Adventure. It is now quite hot. We enjoyed the Fife and Drum parade, The Voices of Liberty and the American Adventure. With the Advil wearing off, walking again became painful. Clouds are building on this hot afternoon, so we returned to the room, arriving at 1430.

We left the room at 1800 and took the monorail over to the Magic Kingdom. From there, we took a bus to the Boardwalk Hotel. When we arrived at Flying Fish for our 1900 reservation, we asked for the same two seats at the chef's counter. Debra C. was our server and did a great job.
Debra C. was our server. She was great.

We transported back to the Magic Kingdom and then on to the Contemporary to retire for the evening. We'll return to the Flying Fish in January.
