The 4F Trip Report
Day 13 - 09-Jul-2009 - EPCOT
Today was planned to be a late night, so we had a long lie and a leisurely breakfast at the hotel before going to EPCOT. This was a photography-lite day, since I had spent a serious session yesterday shooting the fireworks.
We started of with just the four of us going there - Marie, the kids and me. When we got to the park, the weather was of course:
So we went straight to the Land pavilion, grabbed a Fastpass for Soarin', and went for lunch. I do so like the Garden Grill - it offers about the healthiest food I've been able to find in the whole of Disneyworld!
I think that both the adults had Chinese food with noodles, though I rather let myself down by having a huge Key Lime Pie. So much for "healthy foods"!
We went on Soarin', and after that Cameron saw a tag-engraving machine. He wanted to get a tag to take home as a present for one of his friends, so we fed in our money and let the machine make the tag
By now the weather had improved a little, so we went out to go over to "The Seas". We posed for the obligatory photographs outside the Pavilion
before going indoors.
I was very impressed by the technical wizardry of the Nemo ride - how do they manage to have a very 3D-looking projection into an aquarium?
Then we had a look at the real fish
and took some photographs at the standard photo-op sites
before making our way back to the entrance of the park to meet Uncle John and the parents-in-law
On the way back I went for a pit-stop, and was rather bemused about the placement of this mailbox
