Epcot!
granted, not the best of my Spaceship Earth pics, but it gets the point across of where we are now.
We headed straight to The Land for some breakfast. DH had something egg based--he liked it. I had a yogurt and fruit bowl--can I actually form an opinion on that other than it was or wasn't spoiled? I mean, it's yogurt and a fruit bowl, it does the job. Btw, I'm determined to try and be sort of healthy this trip. Sort of.
I did stay away from the coffee.
We originally planned to not even do Soarin', but we gave in and got a fastpass as we watched the line grow and grow and grow and grow. We then went to the ever enjoyable Living with The Land boat ride. I've loved that ride since the first time I went on it in the 80s. I was a geeky kid, I loved Epcot from the beginning. However, I don't remember the pumpkins being grown into Mickeys before, is that a new thing?
We then headed up to Circle of Life, another thing that I love...again, I'm a geek. DH fell asleep, though, the redeye was getting to him. Me, I was on a third wind. I will say, however, that this particular pavillion needs a facelift and paint job. It feels old and dated. I would think with the current emphasis (rightfully so) with being green, that this could be transformed into an exciting pavillion using green products and having that be a big part of the focus.
Afterwards we headed to Ellens Energy Adventure!
(sorry, no George in this pavillion)
Speaking of green, do any other attractions use solar power?
Ok, you would think that this would be naptime, but I love this ride...and who doesn't love Ellen AND Bill Nye?!?!?!?! especially Bill Nye. If you ever get a chance, try to catch him on an old Almost Live! it's hysterical, blowing up things for a late night audience.
...and good news! no one tried to leave so we got through the whole ride! It was even almost full, amazing.
We headed back toward the land, were sad for a few moments that Imagination was closed *sigh*, love the ride AND the playground.
Back at Soarin', we hopped into the fastpass line...a bit sad that we couldn't participate in whatever flying game was going on on the other side of the wall...loved the breakaway chains when people try to sit on them...laughed in annoyance at the family who couldn't deal with the fact that a party of two could go in front of their party of six, hello, they're just filling in the gaps, deal with it, it's one of the benefits of being a party of two instead of having four kids.
I love Soarin', I'm glad we did it again...not sure about waiting for two hours, but it is wonderful.
......up next, Canada and Le Cellier!...
