Epcot

Everyone was up pretty early. They were all at the breakfast table by 7am. The other house was a little slower and required a lot of encouragement to go to the last park. A little bit of the grumpies on the way to Epcot. Some were not pleased with going out on a foggy day, but we assured them the sun would come out.

We arrived at the parking lot by 9am and had spot close to the entrance in the handicapped section. My group was Ed and Oriana. We walked over to the LAND to try and ride Soarin' Over California. The wait was 40 minutes so we got fastpasses for 11:00am and went to the Finding Nemo ride. Oriana and Ed thought it was so-so and I have to agree with them. We went to Journey to your imagination and we all liked seeing Figment. Honey I shrunk the audience was a big hit. Soarin' Over California was the most thrilling attraction we did. Oriana loved how there were smells to enhance the experience of flying. Ed definitely enjoyed that ride best.

It was hot and sunny by 11am.


We walked once around the countries. Oriana and Ed are good walkers, most of the other groups had a time walking this park. We ate in China, the most adventerous thing my group could agree on. We rode both boat rides in Norway and Mexico. Ed and Oriana had a bite of candy from Norway and Oriana said it was a better chocolate bar than in the United States.

We did a bit more shopping and then Spaceship Earth. I really like the enhancements and I could hear giggling in front of me from Oriana when she spotted her face on the screen in front of her. We met Jess and her group at 2:45pm and we went back to the house. We did a bit of packing and afternoon stuff.

Everyone liked Epcot but Hollywood Studios and Magic Kingdom are the biggest hits.

We did Subway for dinner to make it easy to serve and clean up. Everyone showered, checked their IDS, and packed for an early morning departure. Our flight is at 10:25am so we hope to be on the road by 7:30am. This will require our earliest leave yet and we're optimistic for everyone to cooperate.

Robin-

Thanks for keeping such a great blog! It was so much fun to read what was happening day by day. We can't wait to see you all back here in New England. It's gray and dreary again here, so I hope you all enjoyed the sun!
