LOVE Soarin'!! It was my favorite ride! You are brave to ride Mission Space. We waited on Brent to ride it when we went in May--he did the intense version. I'm afraid I'd feel too claustrophobic.
Me too, love, love, love Soarin'!!!
It's amazing!!! It wasn't as bad as I remembered it being on our honeymoon, I almost bagged it, but glad I gave it another chance....
Wow, great EPCOT morning. I don't think I've ever done the big three rides back to back like that. What a way to start the day!
Based on the title. I knew that the wheelchair was coming. Sorry to hear about her problems, but it looks like she's still having a wonderful time.
It really was a great morning! I couldnt believe how easy it was to just walk on the big rides! The Disney magic was with us for sure!!
Ya, poor Mom, but the wheelchair was the trick, we had minor issues later on because we did it early!
Bravo to you for trying Mission Space. I don't think I will ever get on that one.
I'm so glad you were able to convince your mom to rent a wheelchair. It's not fun at all being miserable in Disney.
After reading about your past experience, I pushed! It was once in a lifetime trip and it would have made NO sense to push on the way she was...she (and in turn, we) were much happier once she did it. AND it meant I could eat whatever I wanted cause I was pushing a wheelchair in the 90+ degree weather with my MOm instead of a stroller!!
Your pictures look like Epcot was pretty empty! That's awesome that you got to ride Soarin' as pretty much a walk-on!!!

It was soo empty! It was the PERFECT week to go!!!! We were so lucky!!
September crowds are great aren't they? Our morning experience in Epcot last September was very similar. We walked on all the major attractions.
I would say Test Track is our family favorite! We all love it.
They are! This was my 3rd September trip and I would do it again in a heart beat...other than the sweaty pics!! LOL!! Oh well, you give and take!!
I love Soarin' & Test Track, but Mission Space, not so much - I did it one time and that was enough. It was just too cramped of a space for me and watching the screen made me really queezey, I didn't feel good for a couple of hours afterwards. I decided that any attraction that included barf bags in the ride vehicle is one I need to stay away from!
Ya, I hear you on that one!! LOL!!
I'm so glad that your mom consented to the wheelchair. My mom fought getting one last year when her siatic nerve was bothering her, but ended up really appreciating it as the trip went on.
I agree with you about Mission Space. For me the anticipation is always worse than the ride itself, and I just don't feel any real pull to it. I'd just as soon skip it, and I'll ride pretty much anything.
Me too, it's silly to be in so much pain and push through...she was a trooper and to be honest, I think we saw so much more cause I could just wheel her around, she would have needed many more breaks between her bad back and ankle, so it was a blesssing in disguise, after she got over being "an old lady" as she would state!!
SO....I'm so mad right now! I posted TWO UPDATES last night and only see one!!!!!!!!!!!! I posted through our lunch time...hmm, not sure what went wrong but will do my best to get you through there now....the house is quiet...for the minute...so here goes nothing!!! Stay tuned!!
