Another amazing day, it started with Lucy missing the table with a whole bowl of cereals in it – so clean up done and we were off to Epcot.
We couldn’t get fast passes for the Testtrack ride so our first stop was to join a queue at just after 10am and snake our way to the final ride at 11.30. Excited, we climbed in and we were off ……. 2 minutes into the ride it stopped in the dark as inclement weather (peeing it down) was causing the track to be unsafe …. We waited and waited in our car and about 15 minutes later we set off but the thrill of the ride had been dampened. Complaining about waiting so long to be disappointed we were given free return fast passes for later.
Next was the future world slow ride looking at the changes since the turn of the century – very educational. Soarin was the next ride with a fast pass – we love this as we passed the 60 + minute wait queue in 3 minutes and we were on the ride – the boys were amazed as we flew into a 360 degree screen on our “hangliders” climbing over mountains and along rivers around the world – well worth a wait. A stop for a bite to eat now and on to Nemo ride and the aquarium.
Adi had fast passes with the boys to Mission Space so the rest of us started the walk round the countries of the world. We hadn’t got far before they caught us up, excited about their ride and wanting us all to go and be spun around too – haha NO WAY!
We continued around the world, visiting Canada, the U.K., Norway – see pic Brit – Japan, China, France etc. stopping for ice cream half way round and watching the crew move the equipment onto the lake for the fireworks later in the evening.
On our way out Adi, Lucy and the boys decided to have one more ride on the Orbiter, a sort of space crafts on arms that went round – they weren’t impressed.
Everyone was hungry by now so we went for a drive to International drive and stopped at Denny’s – we remembered that we liked this restaurant chain from 25 years ago – but we were so wrong, the food was microwaved, tasteless and extremely oily – not going there again!
Finally home to the villa and the boys had to just have 10 minutes in the pool before bed. Funny how they suddenly seem to get lots of energy the moment we say bedtime ? Haha
Sounds like you are having an exciting time. On the go all day. Yes, I saw the Norwegian houses. Keep enjoying yourselves.
