Today was Tuesday, our Blizzard Beach day and best of all, our Mickeys Not So Scary Halloween Party Day.
We woke up at 7:30 today, which was pretty early, considering that Blizzard Beach didnt open till 10 and there was no need to be there at rope drop! I guess we were too excited to sleep.
Unfortunately, however, when we woke up, Sarah checked outside and it was raining like crazy! Not an ounce of sun in the sky. And it was kind of cold. It was a tough decision to make, but we decided to skip Blizzard Beach. I was pretty bummed because I love waterparks in general and Blizzard Beach in particular. But it wasnt worth freezing our booties off. So now it was time to come up with an alternate plan.
Sarah and I talked and made a snap decision to go to Epcot since we hadnt been on any of the rides there, except Test Track.
We called Beth and Jason, and they were off to a late start, so we told them to call us when they were ready to go. Meanwhile, Sarah and I threw on some clothes and ran out the door to the bus stop for Epcot.
And you know what? I forgot my stinkin camera. I used Sarahs camera the whole day and put her pics on my computer, but I cant find them! Ill have to get them from her again when Im home this coming week.
We arrived at Epcot at 8:20. It was Extra Magic Hours today, so we were nervous about getting there late, but there was just about no one there! I guess the rain had deterred a lot of people.
Sarah and I made a beeline for Soarin and then got in the Stand-by line, which was a 5 minute wait. We rode Soarin and we both LOVED it. That ride is so innovative and so much fun! It was the first time on the ride for both of us.
After Soarin, we had some breakfast at the Sunshine Seasons Food Court. They had such a great selection there. I am going to have to eat there more on my next trip!
We then hit Living With the Land. I know a lot of people love this ride, but I think its BORING! I have been on it probably 6 times, which is 5 times too many, in my opinion!
Next was Journey into the Imagination with Figment. This was my first time on this ride. There was NO ONE getting on this ride. We did not see one other person. That was enough to creep me out. There was, of course, a cast member there, which made me feel better.
Figment was, um, interesting. Okay, Ill be honest, it freaked me out. That ride is so crazy. I dont think Ill be back!
After Figment, though, we made some of those postcards and sent them to our significant others. That was a lot of fun.
We decided to head to Test Track next. On our way, we gave away our Soarin FPs to a couple of Disneymooners who sounded like they were from Australia. They were happy to have them.
We got some Test Track FPs, then got in the single rider line. I ended up next to two older Italian men. The guy right next to me was HILARIOUS! He was so scared. But he kept trying to protect me in the car. Like when he thought we might crash, he put his arm in front of me! And he kept saying things, half in English and half in Italian about how scared he was. It was hilarious. Oh, and the picture at the end was awesome.
When we finished Test Track, we saw a couple who looked like they were trying to decide whether or not to wait in line for it, so we gave them our FPs. We felt like FP fairies that day!
Next was Mission Space. There was a 10 minute wait for the side that spins (I cant remember the color). I love this ride! Is it just me, or is it less intense than before? I normally feel a little bit sick after Mission Space, but I didnt feel sick at all this time. Sarah didnt feel sick either, which made me happy!
At this point, Beth and Jason called and said they wanted to go to AK. So Sarah and I hopped on a bus over to AK. It was pouring, of course, when we got there! Sarah and I put on the ponchos and rain coats and did some shopping. I bought some Mickey
Crocs for my cousin and goddaughter for Christmas. Sarah bought some souvenirs fro some people as well. We then found Beth and Jason at Rafikis Planet Watch. They had just come back from checking that out.
At this point, I had access to Beth's camera. yay!
I had bought Beth a fancy rice crispy treat at Epcot because I could tell she was crabby/upset about something when i talked to her on the phone. I thought this might cheer her up a little bit:
Here's a pic of the guy who was controlling the garbage can:
We all decided to do Expedition Everest again. There was quite a wait, so we did the Single Rider line, which took about 10 minutes. Not bad. I am absolutely in love with Expedition Everest. I could go on that ride a thousand times. It was raining a little bit when we rode, which made the ride very interesting!
The tree of life:
Monkeying around:
After that, Sarah and I headed back to AKL and Beth and Jason stayed at AK. Sarah and I wanted to have some lunch at Mara and have a little nap before
MNSSHP.
We hit up Mara, the food court at AKL. We both had Falafel Pitas with couscous salad. OMG
these were DELICIOUS! Just thinking about it makes my mouth water.
Now it was time for a nap. The nap was more like me lying there being too excited about MNSSHP to sleep! But at least I was resting. Then we got out of bed and began our transformations into the characters from the board game Clue!
Next up: Mrs. White, Mrs. Peacock, Miss Scarlet, Col. Mustard, and Prof Plum walk into AKL and
.
I know it wasn't funny at the time, but it must be a funny memory to look back on. Of all the tables in all the restaurants, they had to be seated next to yours 
Looks like you had fun anyway! Can't wait to read about your 
Where are yoooooooooooooooooo?
