Friday March 16th is almost behind us, but the activities of the day will remain with us for a long time. The weather was absolutely gorgeous, and the crowds weren’t super bad today either.
There were so many things to experience for the kids at Epcot. Spaceship earth took the riders on tour of the history of communication, and allowed them to make some choices about how they would live in the future. Mission Space took some on an adventure to Mars with a simulated space shuttle launch that some NASA astronauts have said was very close to the real thing! Test Track allowed them to experience the car testing program for GM, and many got up close and personal with Nemo and Friends with a special meeting with CRUSH and turtle talk! The highlights of Future world were the two newest rides “Sum of All Thrills”, and Soarin’. The first allowed the rider to design their own roller coaster, and then experience the ride through a motion simulator. However Soarin’ took a 100 minute wait time, or a fast pass to experience hang gliding over California, complete with the wind in your face, and the smell of oranges and Pine as you crossed the California countryside.
After experiencing Future world the many countries of the World Showcase awaited. Each country was ready to show off its finest in Music and talents through amazing performances. Of course you can’t go around the world without experiencing the food! Italian, Mexican, Chinese, Moroccan, Japanese, French, and of course Fish & Chips from the UK were just a few of the fares to be had. And no Disney experience is complete without Characters. Many of the kids found time to have their picture with their favorite Disney Character. (and some sponsors also).
HGTV’s Flower and Garden Festival was in “Full Bloom” with beautiful flower gardens, and amazing topiary’s throughout the Epcot complex. The concert series for the show featured “Starship” performing this week. The kids had no idea who it was, but many of the sponsors new the songs!
Nobody does Fireworks like Disney, and the show in Epcot is second to none! Fire, Water fountains, Fireworks, and a globe shaped LED screen centerpiece ended out Epcot experience with a “bang”!
Tomorrow is performance day. We get a little later start, but the day will be jam packed with action as Disney’s Magic Kingdom waits. It will be a late night, so don’t expect the blog to be posted in time to read before midnight!
As always your link to today’s photos can be found on the right hand side! I hope you are enjoying the updates. I’m taking as many pictures as I can, but in the big parks, I don’t always see all of the kids. I’ll keep trying!
