I guess I should finish up Day 1, shouldn't I?
After we, well, they watched the performer, and I watched them, we boarded a boat at the Boardwalk and headed to Epcot for the evening.
It was so nice to be walking through the International Gateway again! I really love this park, and am amazed at it's beauty each and every time I am there. Disney really does a great job with the International Showcase. I could spend SO much time there. I usually don't, because I'm afraid that it bores Emma to death, but I found out something interesting this year. She really likes it too! Honestly, she actually asked to go back to Epcot on the last day we were there. I was SHOCKED. That update will come later though, so you'll have to stay tuned to see what we actually do.
Anywho...we strolled along through the UK and just sauntered along on our way to Future World. It was time to hit up some rides! The first one Emma wanted to do was Spaceship Earth. She loves this ride! She is always wide-eyed and looks so enthralled in it throughout the whole ride. It's always "Look Mommy! It's the Egyptians!" or "Look Mommy! Isn't that cool???" It amazes me that a ride all about our history and such could be so interesting to a 6 year old. I can remember riding this ride when I was about 10 or 11 and thinking that it was the most BORING ride ever.
Just being with her when she rides it is enough to make it not boring for me now though. I love it!
When we got off Spaceship Earth, we followed Emma's directions. We rode it again!
After our two goes on Spaceship Earth, we were trying to decide what to do next. Emma decided on Test Track. We didn't get to do this ride on our last trip, so I was so excited to finally get to ride it. I had never gotten to before! DH had ridden it SEVERAL times, and had always talked about how great it was. You see, he went to Disney World back in the fall of 1999. I didn't get to go on this trip though.
DH went with PGA golfer, Kenny Perry to a golf tournament that was being held at Disney World. (I believe it was played on the Magnolia.) They went to dinner at Wolfgang Pucks: The Dining Room one night, and then went to Epcot. They would ride Test Track, get off and then get right back on. I honestly don't think they did anything else there. Test Track had just opened, so it was a big draw to them. They had a blast! As I recall, I think they did the same think in HS on the Rockin' Rollercoaster. RRC wasn't open yet, but I do believe they got to ride it. ALOT. It was getting close to opening, so they were letting the PGA guys and their guests ride it. He had a great time.
WOW...How off track was I?
"Now back to your regulary scheduled Trip Report."
We headed toward Test Track. The wait to ride wasn't bad at all. All in all, I think we only waited about 20 minutes to ride. Emma really liked it until we got to the really fast part at the end. She started to squeal a little and started to cry some.
Then, suddenly, she realized that it was fun! She started to yell, and even laughed some! As soon as we got off, she wanted to ride it again! By this time though it was getting late and we were all really tired. Mommy made the executive decision that we should head back to the room, because tomorrow was going to be a busy day! We had plans for rope drop at HS the next morning!
We schlepped back to the room by way of the buses. There were people EVERYWHERE. There was a huge tour group that was yelling and making a lot of noise. We were so relieved when they kept walking past the bus stop to POFQ. I was so afraid they would get on our bus!
We got back to the room, took our baths and showers and hit the hay. At this point, I'm thinking it was after midnight, or really close to it anyway. Emma was asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow, and Daddy set up our wake up call for 5:45 the next morning. DOUBLE
!
Would we make it???
Stay tuned to find out!
