Last August was my first time riding Mission Space. My daughter still isn't tall enough to ride the orange side yet but since she wasn't with us on our Honeymoon we rode it. I liked it but was dealing with some vertigo that week so that ride didn't help me at all. I told my hubby that I'd be willing to try it again this year when we go in June!
Hi Charlotte! Oh my, riding that orange experience definitely wouldn't help vertigo!
You are brave to give it another try.
Teppan Edo is awesome! We ate there on our honeymoon and loved it so much we made dinner plans to eat there on our trip in June. My DD is a very picky eater and we told her she had to eat there that it was fun. Guess we'll have to see what all happens this trip. But Nanie can get her to eat anything so that's a plus with taking my mom with us!
And I have to say that we have never gotten on Ellen's ride at Epcot. We plan on trying to do that this year. Not sure if my DD can sit that long for 45 minutes but it's worth a try.
We've had many kids dine at our table at Teppan Edo and they seemed to enjoy the meal. They give them kid friendly chop sticks too. I think they may even have a kids menu with some more traditional offerings. At least you have a secret weapon with your mom being along!
We finally made it on the ride after 5 WDW trips. We just never really paid attention to it. However, I agree, it is a long attraction.....definitely a great option getting off your feet though. Your DD may like the dino section.
Sounds like a fun afternoon! I hate rain in Disney, but rain in Disney is better than a sunny day at home!
Hi Kylie! You should coin that phrase! "rain in Disney is better than a sunny day at home" I like it.
Sounds like a fun morning in Epcot! I'd love to be able to walk over there through the IG! Amazing.
Glad you enjoyed Universe of Energy! It's a little outdated but it's fun. Lunch at Teppan Edo sounds great too! The rain, not so much, but at least it stopped. By the way, your photos look fine to me! Not too big.
Hi Marissa! Yes, that short walk through IG is so convenient!
You reminded me that when we first saw Ellen's Energy show I thought "how old is this?" It was obviously from the 90s. Jamie Lee Curtis looked so young too. Compare to her current look on the ever present Activia commercials!
I agree, the photos look fine to me too!
I can't remember the last time we ate at Teppen Edo. I have one more dinner to decide but I think if I end up choosing Japan I am leaning towards Tokyo Dining. That whole new found "we like sushi thing".
Bummer about the rain! I sure sympathize after the downpour we were caught in!
Hi Vicki! I think there may be a delay from when I size the photos to when they show up in my TR?
Oh well, I shouldn't stress over that!
Ahhhh with Tokyo Dining you can order sushi too! I think I know your choice.
Em would prefer if I was a sushi lover but you can't get me to eat cooked fish let alone something that was just dumped from a net!
The view of the sunrises you had from your balcony must have been absolutely gorgeous in person! Seeing those pictures has gotten me more excited about staying at Beach Club next door for my conference.
I have yet to have tried Mission Space and while I'm very curious about it, I'm also worried about whether I will be one of those visitors who end up throwing up afterwards considering how dizzy and unsteady I get after Expedition Everest!
What a great meal at Teppan Edo! Love the pose your chef gave for your picture!
Hi Dave! We've stayed at BC before as well and it was just as lovely. If you get a water view/pool view room you can see the sun rise and lake from your room.
You may want to consider going on the less intense (green) experience for Mission Space. My DH goes on that version since it doesn't spin as much. We did have a kid in our "space craft" last trip reach for the bag. Poor guy didn't end up using it. (Thankfully!) They should rename the orange experience the "green" one since you tend to leave looking that way!
Oh, that dreamy room!
How sweet that the hostess had towels! Disney, I love you. I'm hoping we go to edo during our next trip, since I've only been to Germany & Canada. Looks like you had some yummy food. Not to mention a great cook too! So fun, even in the rain.
Hi Jennifer!! The towels were such a nice touch. I don't recall seeing that at any other WDW restaurant.
Yes, the food was pretty good, but I think I like the gracious service and the atmosphere as much as the food. It has been on our list every trip. Have you eaten at Biergarten or the CS in Germany? That's one country that I have not dined!
I love Ellen's Energy Adventure! Hubby and I first discovered our love for it when we just needed 45 minutes of seated air conditioning, but we love the ride now.
Yikes at the crazy rain storm! Sounds very unpleasant. But how wonderful that the restaurant hostess had towels to dry off, that's really such a nice touch.
LOVE the "Happy to be here" button, that must have been so cute. Glad you had an awesome chef and a great meal, AND that it wasn't raining when you got out!
Hi Wendy! See, the practical meets the entertainment! Seating in the a/c and they give you a show in return!
The button was a nice little touch. Everyone else was celebrating and they didn't want me to be left out! I thought I included a photo of the button they gave me but I must have bailed when by my 3rd attempt to post an update I had to start over! So here it be!
I hope your arm is ok!
Wow...the rack rate for that suite...
Yeah...I have to say, even without having DL's Soarin nearby, we oftentimes pass it up. It just isn't worth such a long wait, at least in our opinion!
Hi Sara! Yeah, not sure who would pay for that room?? Well, except Celine Dion apparently.
I suppose there are two types of people in this world... those willing to wait standby for Soarin' and those that aren't! I love the ride but time is money people!! Well, maybe not, we ARE on vacation right!
