We headed back to Epcot around 6:30 and were walking on
Spaceship Earth just after 7. My camera battery was dying so I left it behind.
So, again there aren’t a lot of pictures for this post.
This was my first ride since all of the changes. I like
the future part and how it’s interactive. The lights during the descent felt a
little trippy.
Like a lot of people Judi Dench isn’t my favorite. I
prefer the Jeremy Irons version.
Just before 8 we split up for dinner. My parents went to
the Yorkshire fish shop for fish and chips. My dad said it was good and had a
very mild fish taste. His only “complaint” was that he would have liked a third
piece of fish.
I went to Cantina de San Angel and got the kids empanada
meal. It was good, but my boss is Cuban and makes amazing empanadas. He even
told me I would be disappointed and he was right.
The chips left over
It was getting colder and windy and I was sitting outside
so I was kind of uncomfortable.
When we finished our separate meals we meet back up and
headed to Test Track to use our fastpasses.
I had seen ride videos so it wasn’t a complete surprise,
but I liked the new design. It was a little more thrilling this way, but I miss
the old pre-ride video.
When we finished Test Track it was time to get our spots
for IllumiNations.
Normally, we watch from the UK, but we wanted to try
something different and ended up in Norway.
Here’s the one blurry picture I have of our view.
It was a fairly good view. There were some tree branches
that blocked the higher fireworks.
Unfortunately, a group of teenage girls stood near us and
talked through the whole thing. I’m just more of a sit back and enjoy the show
kind of person.
After the show we made our way out of the park. The plan
was to go slowly and enjoy the park as it emptied out, but the cold made us
move faster.
Back at the hotel I grabbed a tea from the Contempo Café
and then went to the room to unpack and go to sleep.
Oh, one other thing about the room: the water pressure in
the shower. Normally, water pressure is horrible in Florida and hotels in
general. But this was crazy high. It actually kind of hurt and I felt like my
body was going through a car wash.
Here’s the view I had from my bed on the pull out.
Up next: The first full day and foiled plans
