After much nagging of DH, I managed to persuade him to take me to Epcot rather than back to Universal 
It was fairly busy when we arrived and we headed straight to Test Track. There was a 20 min wait so we grabbed some fast passes. When we got them we had received a fast pass special that let us use the fast pass line at Mission Space straight away !!!!
We headed over to Mission Space and I chickened out of the Orange Team which is the intense version and persuaded DH to ride the Green Team which is the less intense. I have done the normal ride but it always made me feel sick for the rest of the day.
The green one broke as we were in the loading area but after around 15 mins they moved us to another area and away we went! I was quite impressed with this new version although I did miss the take off feeling!!
After we got off and sent some Space postcard emails it was off to test track which was cool as always.
Then for my favourite bit - to see my mates Mickey, chip & dale, etc at Character Connection (I dont half miss the bus!!). Then over to Soarin which was 30 mins wait so we grabbed a fast pass and went to Crush.
After a laugh with Crush we went to Soarin and agree that the screen is extremely dirty and needs a clean.
After this we did Honey I shrunk the Audience and the CM advised us that as the Food & Wine Festival started tomorrow they were doing a test run around World Showcase!!
We headed over to the Rose & Crown so my DH could have a Boddies and I could have some Fish & Chips. We noticed some small stalls had set up with different countries above them selling food native to the countries. We had great fun walking around World showcase trying all this different food.
Back to test track and more fast passes and then my DH persuaded me to ride Mission Space intense!!! WOW glad I did but all the time I kept thinking breathe breathe!!!!
Had a look around Mousegear til around 8 and then went to stake out our spot for Illuminations.
Fab as always and cried again!! I think the woman next to me spent more time looking at me crying than watching the fireworks!!!!!
Grabbed a MacDs on the way home as I was sooo tired didnt want to stop to eat.
Tomorrow Wet N Wild and at night Halloween Horror Night at Universal. My DH said we need to see if we can buy an adult size nappie as he thinks I am going to pee my pants. I cant watch horror films at all but I hope I will have a laugh - fingers crossed!!!!!!
I will try and post an update tomorrow.
