It was another lazy morning with us not getting up until 8:15 then lazing around in the room until just before 10:00.
We wandered over to EPCOT and the first stop was Soarin' where we got fast passes with a return time of 12:48. There wasnt much of a wait next door for Living With The Land so we went there next.
From there we went over to Ellen's Energy Adventure, which I always say I'm not going to bother doing again but I always go back to it because one of my strongest memories from our first trip is the way the theatre breaks down into ride vehicles.
After EEA we walked over to the Festival Center and had a look at the Festival merchandise then sat down for a glass of wine - Chardonnay for me and Moscato for Dad.
Next we walked round to Germany where we both had Nuernberger Sausage in a Pretzel Roll, which was nice, if a little small.
By now it was time to use our fast passes so we walked back round to Soarin' and went straight through to Concourse 2. There were a few announcements about flight delays and then, half an hour after we entered the fast pass line, we were all moved over to Concourse 1. We finally got on the ride 40 minutes after we entered the queue, which was only 10 minutes less than the time posted for the standby line!
After Soarin' we sat in Sunshine Seasons with a coke each then, as neither of us could face any more wandering, we made our way back to BWV for an afternoon rest and I took a few photos of the lobby.
We were back out again just before 6:00 and went round to Morocco in EPCOT where we both had a kefta pocket (seasoned ground beef in pitta bread) which was kind of like a burger in a pitta.
From there we went to a nearby Festival shop kiosk where I got a t-shirt and a pin.
Then we went back to the Boardwalk where Dad had a corn dog and fries and I had a hot dog and fries, which we ate on the Boardwalk overlooking the Yacht Club - joined by a couple of guests.
Our balcony is the one at top right without the canopy.
