Disbug Solo Secret Mission Part 8: Epcot with Pictures and I meet "the" Angel

[Disbug]

It's there and I know it... I MUST ride! If you have never ridden Mission Space! It's a Must do (Well for me it is!) Of course, I like being shot out of a canon, dropped from 40 floors, and spun like a top until I giggle uncontrollably... but that's just me! Walking up I take notice that the single rider line wait is listed as LONGER than the Standby line... HMMM, never saw THAT before! In fact, I wonder how many single riders walked up and just assumed that line was shorter?? Well, it was true. I followed the Standby Line arrows and walked right on! So, let that be a lesson to all you non-sign readers out there!

After Mission Space I love the Advanced Space Lab section where you get to "race" another space ship to Mars. About half-way through the race we lost quite a few members of our team and we were struggling to keep up! The astronauts plug in the "fixes" to their spacecraft problems that we the "technicians" upload to them from our computer terminals. I even saw one little girl trying to run 2 computer terminals at the same time! Needless to say, team Triton beat us by a little more than a light year!

The Wonders of Life Pavilion is closed for the week, so I head next door to Test Track. Clouds are rolling in and I wanted to be sure and ride before the track became "slippery"! Once again there was no wait, but this time single riders line was shorter so I went that way!

Luckily I don't worry too much about the "This ride will Muss your Hairdo Factor"!

I am stopped dead in my tracks by the BEAUTY of the sun playing on the glass pyramid of "The Land"! Can you see the cranes where Soaring Over California is being built?

I continue walking until I am back in the World Showcase where I proceed almost all the way around the World! I chicken out on the other side and take the boat back across since my feet are getting a little on the achey side!

This turns out to be one of those blessings in disguise! Little did I know that I was going to run into a Complete Stranger I had "met" twice before on two different trips and who was going to make my trip SO MUCH MORE MAGICAL!

*tapping fingers and tapping foot*

Waiting for #9, Disbug!

 

[Disbug]

Hold your horses, everyone! Part 9 is coming.... it takes time to make the doughtnuts! (Wasn't that the old Dunkin Doughnuts commercial line??)

 

[corky805]

As usual everyday that you spend in the world is an adventure....I would love to go with you just once!! Congrats on your perfect day!!

 

[MAGICinMYHEART]

Yep, you make us all miss being there with you I also can't wait for the next saga.

Disbug,
Do you mind me asking what type of camera you are using to take all your beautiful photos with...?

 

[Disbug]

thankyou for your compliments of my photographs! I think it is definitely the camera! I have a Fuji FinePix 3600Z digital camera. I photograph using the medium quality resolution. This is a 2.0 megapixel camera. Currently I have seen these for about $149 to $199. (When I bought mine it was $299...) I am thinking of upgrading to a Sony Cybershot 4 or 5 MP camera. But I am still doing ok with the Fuji (for now!)

When I have concluded my trip reports, or somewhere near the end I will post a link to an album that has all the photos I took during that trip! (Thanks again to QuickGold, who set that up for me!)

See you soon! I'm working on the next segment!

Thanks your doing great with your Fuji...

Mouseteacher ,

I would love to be able to join you...have never stayed at S/D. I already have two trips scheduled between now and the end of May...But after reading Disbugs report I would love a solo trip...Had a day and a half solo last September and loved it.

Ooh, the suspense! And here for a minute by "the" Angel, I thought you meant David Boreanaz!

[Disbug]

zurgswife~ Good to see you smile !

WDW Poly Princess~ Okay, I am going to plead ignorance... who the heck is David Boreanaz?? BTW, love your userid! I'll bet I know where you like to hang out... does David like Lapu Lapu's??

MagicinmyHeart~ Sounds like you need another solo trip!!
