Hello guys! I'm back again with day 2 of my trip, we went to Epcot
My sister and I aren't ones for rope dropping so we took the Skyliner at 11 and was in the world showcase at 11:20. It was pretty empty in the park for the first hour or so, we got some pretty sweet pics throughout the world showcase. We got Joffrey's coffee and dole whips. This might be controversial but I think the watermelon dolewhip is better than the pineapple
Then we stumbled on test track at a 95-minute wait. We were in line for about 10 minutes until we saw the people behind us say they're going to single rider because there's no wait. So we did that and there was about a 10-minute wait tops. SO much better than waiting 90 minutes. However, note that the CMs are very strict about splitting apart single riders! We saw a lady make a bit of a scene trying to stay with her daughter even though they took the single rider line...My sister and I didn't care for riding together anyways lol. Then we did Mission space orange, which was about a 25-minute wait. Then spaceship earth, which was a 30-minute wait.
We got lunch at a few different booths but after a while lines were getting pretty long (~3:30 pm) for just about every Epcot booth, we decided to go back to the hotel for an hour and mentally prepare for a lot of drinks and food. Returned to Epcot around 5. When we returned lines were....pretty rough. Pretty much every booth in the world showcase had a line that was at least 20-30 minutes. Which is rough when a lot of the booths are food and wine so you don't particularly get a large portion. We still managed to have a few drinks and food but the lines were just so long for a lot of booths it was pretty disheartening. Crowds were also pretty large, I mean shoulder to shoulder in some places. However, we got a lot of amazing food. I never thought I'd have so many margaritas in my life (my sister and I split them so I swear we're not getting completely blasted at Epcot).
Honestly, lines for rides were a lot shorter than lines for food. We managed to ride the figment ride, Nemo, Soarin, and living with the land in a little over an hour. The longest line we stood in of the day was Frozen which would not budge from above a 40-minute wait. So we just decided to ride and it did take about 40 minutes but honestly Frozen might've been my favorite ride of the day! Overall it was a really fun day, however, the crowds seemed very large. If you're worried about that I'd tell you that yes they are just as bad as the look in people's pictures lol. However, my sister and I have a running saying that it is what you make of it. So even if things seem bad we'll just perform self-affirmations lol. "We ARE having fun. This IS a good time. We are ENJOYING this experience" even after our legs hurt or we stand in line for an hour.
Tomorrow is Animal Kingdom
I actually have 2 reservations tomorrow so we'll see how that goes.
