Part 15: Day 12: Seaworld
Up at 7.00 and off to Sizzlers for breakfast. Lovely. At $17.64 inc drinks it would be difficult to say anything else!
Todays plan is Seaworld but we are going via Epcot. Get to Epcot around 8.40, my first rope drop! Cm at the rope gives me a Mickey ariel topper because I caught him on my camcorder! 10-09-08-07-06-05-04-03-02-01 Whoo Hoo!
in we go.
Straight to Soarin for a FP, the park had only been open for 45 seconds and the FP was already on 9.51. Over to TT, the wait says 30mins but it is a walk-on. After I buy a T-Shirt that says TT Dummy and Gavin buys a little miniature TT car.
Back to Soarin, Gavin & I are very nervous about this. I get terrible motion sickness and Gavin is afraid of heights and there are signs all over saying that sufferers from either of these conditions should refrain from riding. Those signs are way over the top, this ride was amazing, I cannot believe my feet did not get wet!
Next we had a bun and some hot chocolate at Seasons. Yes I know it is 98 degrees outside but in the A/C of the Land it is freezing! Watched the Circle of Life before we left. It was very educational, scaringly so.
On the way out DF noticed me looking longingly at the Leave a Legacy tile and asked if I would like one. Oh well, only if you do love
One photo and $25 later we are the proud owners of a
. reference number! 4-6 weeks until we get our pack with a copy of the picture and location details.
Off to Seaworld at 11.45. It was ridiculously hot by now so first stop was a drink and ice-cream.
Shamus adventure was on at 13.00 so off to the stadium at 12.30 to get a decent seat. I do like this show, as I did when we came to watch Shamu Rocks America a few days ago but I do wrestle with my conscience at the obvious fatigue of the biggest Shamu His tails and fin were so curved he looked ill and I felt guilty I was paying to watch him perform tricks in captivity. But I DID pay and I DID watch so a bit late for the moral highground.
After the show we walked over to Journey to Atlantis but it was a 60min wait and it was very hot so we skipped it. There wasnt anything else we fancied doing (I had been on Kraken when we came the other day) so we went home for a rest around 14.30. Just look at what we found in the car park on the way out...
Evening meal was at Passage to India (Again!) at 19.30 with a call in the supermarket for essentials and back home at 22.00, American pie 2 was on the TV so we stayed up and watched that with a few beers then bed.
