This morning we had a date with Sara our friend from IHOP. It was her day off, but we wanted to spend some proper time together and enjoy her company without her waiting on us while she works. We talked and talked and talked for ages, but still managed to make it to Epcot in time for our first fast pass.
Our first ride was the Spaceship Earth. I adore that ride. It really never gets old for me. Though I feel like that about most of the rides here! I truly love it out here. We went in to Inventions and Sum of all Thrills wasn't too busy so we joined the line. We got to design our ride. Of course it had to be a loop the loop type one we designed. It was very exciting. We loved it. I didn't even mind that you are enclosed in a screen all around you. The only thing I would say is that it would be even better if we could hear each other while seeing each other on the corner of the screen.
Anyway after that we pottered through the shops, even got Marmalady a new tag with tinker bell on it. We headed around to World Showcase. We had plenty of time before our afternoon Fast pass so we took our time and just soaked up the culture from each country around the world. We saw women in Japan playing drum music. We watched Italian men do a flag dance. We checked out the fish in China. We also went in to Reflections of China. It was a 360degree show. It was so well done. Felt like seeing Soarin' very cool.
We stopped in to Lotus Blossom for Lunch. I had Orange Chicken and Boiled Rice and Thomas had Shrimp Fried Rice with egg roll. Both were very delicious and full of flavour.
I loved Japan, so much I could've bought. I think next year I am going to bring extra spending money and buy candy from each of the countries and do a taste test type video on youtube.
Check out these photos from around World showcase:
We headed towards Test Track for our fast pass. Thomas loves this ride. I could do without it but glad we did it. Especially as it has been updated since we last did it. You now get to design a car and it tests your features out. It was quite cool. We got to 64mph. That was quite thrilling speeding up to that.
We headed home and rested a while before heading back to Disney. This time we were heading to Magic Kingdom for Wishes. This is Thomas's favourite night show. It was the first show we ever watched together. I love it, really brings nostalgia for me.
We got to the park around 8, so we headed towards adventureland to see what the wait time was like on Big Thunder. It was 15 minutes. So we decided to wait. I love that ride at night. The view over the park is amazing!! It is definitely one of my favourites. I actually prefer it to Mine train. Even though Mine Train is smoother and newer. there is just something about Big Thunder.
After that we headed to Caseys to get a dog. They are the best Hotdogs I have ever had!! Thomas got a footlong, i got a regular. Both came with fries. We chatted to a cast member called Mia. She was lovely and told us next time we would have to check out Club Cool at Epcot. Totally forgot about that. So will do next time. I want to try those drinks! She was a lovely girl. She even gave us two fudge brownies. That was so sweet. And very delicious!
We thoroughly enjoyed watching the fireworks that close up. It felt quite romantic. Which clearly other people had in mind because we witnessed two different proposals only a few minutes apart. Such a very romantic proposal. I hope those couples have a wedding as magical as the proposal. I loved my wedding in Florida. We had an amazing day getting married on the beach was awesome. I wish the same for those couples too.
After the fireworks we hung about and let others leave. It was crazy mass exit so we sat down and watched the world go by. We watched Celebrate the Magic again. It is better in front of the castle than off to the side. It is definitely worth checking out. Before the second parade started we headed for home. It took a while but we made it out of the park and up to the monorail terminal. It said a 15 minute wait but it didn't seem to take that long. We got back to the transportation and ticket centre and joined the line for villains parking. After a lot of hanging around we were finally back at the car and heading for home. Ready to get a good nights rest.
