Once we left the expo we walked the mile back to the bus area. There was a CBR bus just sitting at the stop waiting. We hopped on and we were off. The bus was all to ourselves. We were back at CBR in no time and dropped my recently purchased items off in our room.
The plan for today was to have an easy day touring the countries of epcot, getting on some rides, dinner at Cape may buffett, and illuminations.
When we arrived at epcot I was so excited to see that some of the topiaries from the F&G festival were out already. Here were some of my favorites.
We were all starving so our first plan of attack was to find some lunch. We thought the fish and chips from the UK sounded good and I never tried that before so we headed to the Yorkshire County Fish Shop.
Apparently everyone else had the same idea because this is the line.
the wait was well worth it. This was the best fried fish I ever had.
We sat in the back along the lagoon. The sun was shining and there was a warm breeze going. It was a moment during the trip that just made me smile and feel so happy.
Once our bellies were full we walked through the countries by this point my legs and back were feeling extremely tired and I was starting to think about all the advice that was offered to me. Most of which consisted of "take it easy and rest your legs during the few days prior to the race". I guess I was going to learn the hard way.
We made it through the countries from america to mexico and my mom and aunt requested a smoke break.
I am always trying to get them to quit but I will at least say they kept the breaks to the minimum during the trip. While they took there break I got myself one of these.
Oh baby was that yummy. I only ate half and then shared the rest.
We made our way over to Future World. We did Ellen's Energy, Figment, The land, and Spaceship earth. This was my first time on Spaceship earth since the changes and I loved the video thing at the end. Here are some of the funny pics of my mom and I.
After the rides we took a potty break and I called home. My dh and boys were doing great. I talked to both of the boys and had to hold back my tears. I missed them so much. Disney is just not the same being there without them.
We started our walk over to the beach club for dinner. I love this resort and I love love love this buffett too. I got a plate of salad, a cup of NE clam chowder. A small piece of flank steak (oh my god this was to die for). 2 buckets of clams and a few crab legs. Everything was soooo good. I was a bit fuller than I should have been but I had to get my 40 dollars worth.
After dinner we walked back to Epcot. We got a spot for illuminations. I just love illuminations! no matter how many times I watch it, it gets me teared up everytime.
We still wanted to get on test track and soarin so we decided to stay for EMH. We went to test track first along with the other hundreds of people with the same idea. It ended up being about a 40 min wait but it was fun.
We are in the back row:
We went right over to soarin and that was a 50 min wait. Im glad we waited for this. It was my first time riding and I loved it. It was my aunts favorite ride too. My mom on the other hand did not enjoy it and had her eyes closed after 30 seconds of the ride starting.
We walked to the bus stop after soarin and I will admit, I was beat!!! my legs ached and I was so exhausted. I was second guessing my plans that I had for the next day. I knew that I would need to take it easy or that my race would be complete tourture. We got back to the resort around midnight. I was asleep within minutes.
Up Next: How did I spend my Saturday....the day before the race.
While I waited for them I spun the wheel at one of the vendor tents to see what I could win. I ended up with a pencil and a pack of rice.
I really enjoyed this show this time. Last time my boys completely freaked out during the show and I was consoling them. So this time I was able to enjoy it.
WAY TO GO!
