i've never personally done the soarin shuffle step. you know we like to sleep in and as long as it's not too busy, i'm happy getting a fastpass and doing it later. but it's something i want to do one day! it's so funny to see masses of people moving in one direction in an orderly fashion like that though. it was like that when we did rope drop to meet tink in december. but the walk to her area wasn't as long as the soarin walk so probably not as funny!
the last time we rode this was with luke and it was his first time. he was kinda timid at first but once he got used to it, every time the scene would change, he'd say, "COOL!!!!!" it was really cute!
I wish everybody liked to sleep in.
Everybody but us, of course.
We could ride several times over before the crowds pick up!
I can't wait until Brooklynn can ride it. I know she won't love it as much as we do as grown-ups, but I hope she likes it and isn't scared by it. I still don't understand why she can ride Barnstormer but not Soarin'.
Morning MeMom,
I came home to find all your pictures of Soarin and thought of this
video; have you ever seen it? It is one family's personal version of Soarin'.
If it's the one where the guys build one in their backyard, I have seen that before. They put a lot of work into that.
I was thinking it would also be kind of neat if Disney could make the seating move just a little in Impressions de France and make moving seating for the Canada movie, too. Those movies already give you a little bit of a movement sensation the way they're made, and if the seats just barely moved, like when you're going down the waterways, they would be more like Soarin' - more realistic.
Yippee! A Sunday morning ride on "Soarin".....splendid!
I can't believe you got Tinkerbell in that pic, so special.
I got lucky on the picture, of course, but I was pleased.
Awesome pic!!
I'm going to have to do this sometime!! I was going to in the fall when Dawn and I were there but they had told someone down past me they had to put everything under the seat and I didn't think I could get away with my camera being in my lap. But I would LOVE to see what kind of pics I could get!!
We are back from FL and now headed up to the pool on this BEAUTIFUL day!!
Did you have fun iFlorida?
It is a pretty day here in Middle Tennessee.
My camera is always around my neck. No one has ever said anything about it. I don't hold it up, but rather just shoot from my lap, and I never use a flash. I don't think it has ever bothered anyone, because I don't think anyone can ever tell I'm shooting. I've got to think of some new ways to shoot things at Soarin' this time. Something different.
What a great Sunday morning at Epcot! The Soarin' trot you're right about that! Kinda like the TSM dash!
Love the Soarin' pics too. The one with Tink came out so good, I can't believe she is so clear.
Yeah, I'd like to be in a helicopter above watching the openings at the parks. I'm sure it is very interesting!
******************************
When we got off of Soarin', we went and got our Fastpasses for a second trip later on.
Then we went to Sunshine Seasons to get some breakfast.
It was too early to eat this delicious chicken,
but not too early to take a picture of it and take in the awesome aroma!
We got a yummy breakfast that was more than we could eat.
After that, we went on Living with the Land.
I quite enjoy this ride, and it always makes me want to come back and grow a marvelous garden.
I never do.
I wondered about Amaranth, so I did some research.
It is also called pigweed.
It is used more in African cooking, so I guess they may use this in some of the stuff at Boma and Jiko.
People in Ancient Greece thought it to have special healing powers. It was a symbol of immortality.
I think it didn't work. As far as I know, they all died.
A banana tree is something I could really use at my house. Trent and his friends eat bananas like crazy!
The fish and gator section.
It was breakfast time for the gators.
Fruits and veggies.
Cotton plants.
I eat a lot of cucumbers. I think they should give us a free cucumber as a sampler for riding the ride.
As much as I would love to have a nice garden, I don't have the time or knowledge to do one up properly, so I just go to the grocery store, like most people, and pick up what others have grown for me. Maybe when I retire, if that ever happens, I can learn how to do it right.
I might even grow Mickey-shaped pumpkins.
Anways...here are a couple of pictures for you!
....all of this is of course for our WDW trip in Feb as he can;t fit into them now...and hopefully they will fit next summer too! 
...but I did wave!
you're right about that! Kinda like the TSM dash!
