Epcot day

So today was our main day for Epcot.

I decided to have a light breakfast of a muffin and coffee on the Boardwalk before Epcot opened. I sat by the river and ate our breakfast in the sun. Bliss!

I got up early so I could make park opening and it was amazing. The announcement saying good morning in a variety of different languages was awesome and built up the excitement. I used the international gateway entrance as it meant I could walk to the park from our hotel and the queues were minimal.

My first ride of the day was Test Track. It was amazing. You got to build your virtual car then went on a ride at high speed with a variety of different manoeuvres and you were told how well your car performed according to others in the group. We were first in all but efficiency. I would highly recommend going on it at park opening if you don’t have a fastpass as the queue was literally 5 minutes and the rest of the day it increased to 85 minutes.

I then went on Mission:SPACE using my fastpass so again I was on in 5 minutes. I really didn’t like this ride as it made me feel really queasy and I did think I was going to see the muffin again that I had eaten earlier. It was a really weird sensation with the high g-forces and the small space it really made you feel claustrophobic. Not one I would do again.

Once I had recovered from that ride I went on Spaceship Earth and this was just as good as I remember from last time. When you selected that you were from the UK the narrator changed to Judy Dench.

We had a couple more pictures taken using memory maker then decided to go on Living with the Land. I only decided to go on this as the wait time was 5 minutes but I was pleasantly surprised as it was really very good. Not only was it a gentle boat ride but you got to see a behind the scenes look at how they were growing fruit and veg in controlled conditions.

After having a photo with Daisy Duck, I went back to the hotel and to the mall for a bit more shopping at the Vineland Premium Outlet mall. I was tempted to buy a Hugo Boss suit but restrained myself.
