Elizabeth went to Florida for a WMU conference (a friend had a companion flight!) which was wonderful but we also had an extra day so we went to Epcot. It was so much fun. I am also including (for my memory) what all we did in the fun packed day!
Mission Space
Belle & beast walked past our restaurant window!
Ellen's Universe of Energy
Japanese shaved ice by the lagoon. Well we arrived in our hotel room at 1:22am Sat morning but we got up anyway and took a taxi to Epcot and arrived at 8:20, we hung out in line with the other crazy/smart people. Disney has it down as far as moving people intermittently to keep people happy seeing new things. So we were let in and by 11:30 we had done: Soarin' (beautiful and relaxing) Test Track (fun) Mission: Space (the easier track-and it was a little off balance when getting off but not while in, and I got to put us in 'hypersleep!!!') Spaceship-Earth (cute and fun card at the end, this was our longest line, we never had to use a fastpass because all were less than 20 mins, I couldn't believe it was a Sat in June!), then quickly walked through the Innovenations area and pushed a few buttons but weren't really into it and to Living in the Land boat/ag ride (very cool).
Off to World Showcase (Angela-that's the name!). We saw all four films, rode both rides (kinda kiddie but fun, the Norway trolls were creepy!), saw the Jap drummers, American band & singers and Chinese acrobats, had an almost two hour three course French lunch with a funny/pushy french waiter and characters (Belle, the beast, Aristokitten) walking by our window waving. We shopped a little and walked through every country, sitting by a Moroccan fountain for a while. We snacked for dinner-the Norwegian lefse (which was like a tortilla with creamcheese & cinnamon) and a Japanese shaved ice! (and even had time to slip Ellen's adventure in, my friend loved the dinosaurs).
We stepped out on the bridge by France just in time for the fireworks show which was wonderful (I started wondering if Disney as a child is one thing that made me want to be a missionary!?!) then we walked out the back door (awesome idea thanks Dan) and caught a cab back to our hotel.
We saw almost everything and enjoyed it all.
