Weeeeeee! Two updates!
So it sounds like (other than the LWTL fastpass brain burp and the heat) a great morning at Epcot so far! Glad you decided to stick it out in the Soarin' line and that it was only 30 minutes! I'm a Soarin' lover, not to the point where I have to ride it every day, but let's say at every easy opportunity.
It was one of the better days of the trip. I mean, nothing could've beat the previous night at MK (in my opinion) but my mom had a blast, so I was happy with that.
If you're handing out medals, I won't turn one down!
That lady sounds insanely rude. I mean, her kids are younger than you, so it's not like they NEED the chairs. And also, why were they all needing a seat anyway? Who says you deserve a chair less than another park guest? Ugh, I can't handle some people. Sorry for my tangent hahaah.
Don't worry, we all have Disney brain farts sometimes!
You definitely earn a medal. I mean...July/August?!
And what's crazy is, you haven't really said too many negative things about the heat so far in your TR. Talk about a trooper.
Yeah, I was more than a little surprised by the seat incident. The kids were completely into their games and weren't even thinking about seats. But Disney shows you all kinds of people.
Wow, look at you ... I had a lot to catch up on!
Your EMH night at the MK was a blast. I had fun living vicariously through you and running all over the park. Your nighttime pictures were amazing, and that is too funny about having to be driven back to your car. I have
never heard of that happening!
I am with your mom and that guy from Toronto: I could ride Soarin' every. Day. The scenery and the smells are awesome, but I think what gets me is the music. That soundtrack is so moving!
I can't wait to read about your quick trip for Epcot's 30th, but I totally hear you about visiting WDW when you're pregnant. We went one weekend when I was 19 weeks pregnant with Andrew, and it was so
hard -- much harder than I thought it would be at that point. But still, you got to go to DISNEY!!!
Staying out past the trams was different, I didn't even think that was possible!
I agree with you on the Soarin' soundtrack. It's amazing, and I actually listen to it at home.
Gives me a little dose of Epcot while I'm away....
I think my mistake was going when I was still in the first trimester. Now that I'm out of it and have been increasing my walking distance, I feel a million times better. Which is crazy, because I didn't think I was that under the weather to begin with, but I guess so. Plus, the heat.
I don't think I could do 19 weeks, though. That sounds exhausting.
Haha, totally agree with you about people who visit Disney in the summer! I could NEVER do it! In fact, it will probably be a while before I even attempt to go in May again, after the heat this year!
I wish I was one of those people who could tolerate the heat, but I just can't deal with it!
Huh. Don't get me started on this, I absolutely cannot STAND people like this, that think their precious little children should be entitled to everything at Disney. And I love kids, I work with kids, I hope to have kids of my own someday, so it's nothing against kids. It's the parents who act like adults should give up everything for the sake of children at Disney World. Ugh. Like I said, don't get me started...I have serious issues with this!
Anyway, sounds like you guys were having a great morning in Epcot! Can't believe you got LWTL FP's instead of Soarin, I've never heard of that! At least you liked the ride, it's not all that exciting, but it's cute!
I think I'll have to go in May in the future, because Alex will want to do the EE Challenge, but I'm going to feel out the winter first. If we have pretty cold winter, I think we'll be safe for May. But if it's like 2011's, where the weather stayed around 50 the whole time, I'll know to avoid the May months.
Yeah, I think if I had been hotter or if it had been later in the day and I was tired, I would've made a nasty comment back to the mom, but at that time I was having a great morning and didn't want to sour it by starting a fight. But trust me, I'm with you on parents thinking their kid should get better treatment over folks who are there without. Makes me nuts.
Ugh the LwtL FP messup was so stupid of me.
I think you've never heard of that before because I'm probably the ONLY PERSON EVER to do something that dumb.
I'm horrible with directions and get so turned around when DH isn't guiding me.
