Never mind watching Dee- you'd be shaking your shillelagh with the best of us
That sounds good too! I could use some shillelagh-shaking right now!

I read a trip report from a college program CM who talked about the aquarium tank and how big it was. Now that I know that the tank is there I can see it easily in your picture.The picture above is the backstage area of The Seas. I wouldn’t have realized that if I hadn’t participated in the marine biology program during the 8th grade class trip.
I loved the new Soarin' ride and I have two fastpasses to ride it on our next trip. Unfortunately there aren't any golf balls flying around on this version. Ninja will have to think of a new trick.Following the sage advice of our ~Ninja friend, we sat in the place she suggested to minimize screen distortion.
I love the pictures that you took from the monorail. They look professional.

Quite the first day with MK and EPCOT and you haven't even eaten dinner yet. On travel days with an early flight that's when I either hit the wall or get a second wind....more like a breeze! Gotta love those Ghirardelli samples at the Festival Center! Looking forward to the "scoop" on the no way, Jose!
It is fun to get a glimpse of Epcot before you get off the monorail. Like a preview of coming attractions...
Those chocolate sculptures look amazing. But, then again, I'm always surprised that people have the strength to do anything with chocolate other than shove it in their face. I severely lack that willpower.
The Seas queue is pretty neat. I just wish it wasn't so blasted dark in there!
Always a bummer to be reminded that a favorite Disney dish is no longer around.
How fun to meet up with friends and ride the new version of Soarin' together. I'm also glad to hear it was good!
I'm keeping my fingers crossed that a Beaches and Cream ice cream happened!
All the cool kids sit in B1 on Soarin'.

We never made it to the Festival Center during our last trip. We usually stop by to check out the amazing chocolate sculptures and get our free chocolate.

It's been so long since I've ridden the Epcot monorail. You got some great photos.
Those chocolate displays are amazing.
Dee not take any pictures? Yeah right. Living with the land is a must do for me.
I can't wait to check out the new soarin.
Another great installment and your pictures from the monorail are wonderful!
The chocolate creations are incredible I love the Star Wars ones
That's so great you were able to ride with fellow DIS friends.
Agreed!
Yeah, sadly for this trickster of small children and the unsuspecting there is no more golf ball scene. I used to be able to pretend I caught it and then produce an actual ball to the unbeliever. There was once a time at Disney parks where the show was so good one could believe that Disney actually was moving a real golf ball past the guests.
I suppose for my next trick I am left with trying to straighten the Eiffel Tower . I wonder how many guests are aware that these days Disney is just providing the cheapest crap that the low bidders submit. Who ever failed to quality control this Soarin Disney disaster deserves to be fired. And yes... the distortion is that bad.

PS. I stole that golf ball trick from Dee. God knows who she stole it from...
Looks like a great day! I love love love the new soarin!
The chocolate sculptures always amaze me.
Too bad about your experience at Beaches and Cream. We have never eaten there, probably because it reminds me too much of my early "career" working at Friendlys during High School and College. We have had a cone or two from takeout but that's about it. Nice to have the lounge to fallback on though!
Dee, I had a delicious beet and goat cheese salad at F&W but cannot remember which booth it was. Wondering if you saw it.
I can't find my passport to look it up. I think I left it in Florida.
My DH is taking me back to Disney the weekend before Christmas. I am excited and stressed about the timing. I guess more excited. We tried to change the flight but everything else was too expensive. Ugh!!! I guess I need to suck it up.
