Day 2 - Checking Back In & Epcot
Well, I woke up really late! So after I get ready really quick I got down at the check-in desk at 11:05 - not bad. Well, wouldn't you know, Dimitra and Carlos were waiting for me! She told me that our keys would only work once more and to leave our stuff with bell services, then come back down. So we went back down and she told us our room was ready....on the 10th floor..on the Bay Lake side! YAY! Another upgrade! We thanked them a million times again and headed up to our room. It was exactly the same and the view here was incredible. It really looked like you were just on top of the lake. Also everynight at 10:05 the EWP would come out. So cool!!!
I just can't believe how amazing the CMs are at the CR. They are all so nice, always stopping to say hello or goodnight. They really went out of their way to make our stay a lot better. Thanks again CR staff! And of course, the CR is where I'll be staying on my next trip.
It's around 1 and we're in EPCOT!! AHH!!! I love this place. Its in my top 4 favorite Disney world parks (everyone gets a kick out of this one). Holy crap! SSE is having a soft opening! It couldn't be true. No wait of course. Heres a little preview of the ride. May contain spoliers.****
****Well first we noticed the additions of the touch screens. I thought this was very cool and different. A lot of the old ride just seemed a lot sharper and newer and the AA moved a lot faster - sometimes too fast actually. There was a new garage scene, computer scene, and narrarater. And on the way down they give you a quiz on what type of person you are. Ok, theres 2 people per seat, so really only one person can do it, which I found odd. Then they play a cartoon on what your future will be like. I think its really stupid, but it really has potential!****
We decided to get FPs for TT. I hate waiting in this line, so we didn't, haha. Juan really wanted to ride M:S, but of course Kristin and I didn't. So he rode that, while we did Ellen's Universe of Energy. We love Ellen! So, this is a must.
To The Land we go! I made them watch the Lion King Circle of Life show because I feel that its days will be over soon enough. Then we rode the Living With the Land ride and the audio didn't work! To Juan and Kristin it made no sense because they never did it before. Oh, well. It made sense to me, haha!
Oh! I forgot to mention. We have reservations at Restaurant Marrakesh at 5:30 with my grandparents. But at around 4:30, off to the WS we went. We took the boat over to Morocco which I've never done before. It took forever and we should of walked, but Kristen is lazy so she insisted we take the boat.
Yay! I haven't seen my grandparents since my August trip so I was excited to see them. We then talked about dinner and they were really iffy about RM. So, of course, I cancelled. But at around 4:50 we went to Nine Dragons in China and ate there. No ADR! It was really good, but lemme just say I spent a little more time in the bathroom that night than I should have, but thats a whole nother trip report right there...
...Anyway, its about 6:30-6:45 (yes, we had a lot of catching up to do!) and we watched some of the CP from the sidelines. We couldn't see anything, but it sounded great, haha! It was so funny because my grandfather likes to mumble on about nothing. He talks really loud. And somehow the subject about the movie Cocoon got involved and everyone started giving us the look (definition below).
The Look - When people turn their head slightly (not all the way) and look at you because your ruining their precious time and money.
Well whatever! It was funny, haha. So we said our goodbyes to my wonderful gparents and promised to see them another day (we did). So we looked around the countries. Rode Maelstrom and that boat ride in Mexico. I also took some pictures of the walkway between WS and FW, and also of the Epcot tree.
And hey! Before you know it, its 9:00 and we're ready to find a position for Illuminations. We just couldn't find anything. OK, right in front of Canada. We decided to sit down in front of a group of people, heres how it went down.
Me: Excuse me, but do you mind if we sit here?
Woman: Well, no, but just don't stand up.
Me: K?
Ok, now I was raised to be polite to everyone. I believe that in life I'm here to help and be nice to people, and also have fun.
While were sitting there, their talking about us!
Woman #1: God, some people are just so stupid. (I'm stupid! Yay!)
Woman #2: I know, these were our spots. (I didn't know she owned Epcot)
Woman #3: This is not how we do it in England! (I thought we were in Florida)
But combined they had about 20 teeth, so who am I to argue?
Anyway, it was getting really umcomfortable for me and these women honestly ruined my night. I didn't yell or say anything to them because thats not who I am. These people need Jesus in their lives! But we upped and left and found a better spot near the UK pavillion. Lemme just say that the ending of the Let There Be Peace on Earth section was amazing. I heard car alarms go off. Ok, some tears came down during this part, but I didn't create a puddle, haha!
Besides that mishap with those women, I had a great night at Epcot. But the nights not over! Theres EMHs at MK of course!
21 days to go! 
Well, hey at least we'll be in Disney in 19 days!
