Day Two: EPCOT Someone is tired...
Today we had plans for EPCOT in the morning. We had fast passes for Test Track at 10:15 - 11:15 and I said that we just needed to get there for that fast pass. And boy did the girl need it. 2 late nights and all the walking was catching up to them.
This is what Tink left out today. I was super excited about the shirts!
Yesterday morning Gwen slept late but this morning it was Morgan's turn. It was about 8:30, when Gwen and I were just about to run down and get some breakfast when Morgan woke up. So, the girls checked out there Tinkerbell Gift.
Morgan looked like she was hung over. She was sooo tired. We ran down to Raoring Fork and grabbed some quick breakfast. I didn't take any pics. I am pretty sure Morgan chose a danish and Gwen most def went with the bacon donut. We took it easy but got ready to head out eventually.
We took the bus to EPCOT and were greated by the line at security around 10:45.
And walking by the big ball around 11:00
We needed to get to our fast passes for Test Track, so we just headed in. As we were headed that way, we saw the Muppet Beaker Show.
Which I wanted to watch but we just didn't have time. We stopped for a minute then continued on. We finally made it over to Test Track! And in we went.
I think this was Morgan's Car.
And this is def Gwen's...
Purple and sparkles is ALWAYS Gwen.
Morgan gets super competitive and was soon ready for her car to beat the pants off of Gwen's... Unfortunately, that didn't happen. Gwen beat Morgan's 3 out of the 5 things. Or something like that.
Our very bad family selfie right before we left on our ride!
None the less, the ride was fun. Although, I personally find the ride kind of silly. It's just driving in a convertible. But the girls love it.
After that we headed over to use our fast passes for Misson Space. This was a new one for all of us!
We chose Green Side, as I really didn't know what to expect. We joked about all of the disclaimers they give you walking in. Andy wanted to know how bad the ride was going to be. And that got Morgan super nervous... I tried to reassue them, but I didn't really know what to expect.
Both sides had short waits, so we didn't really need our fastness. But oh well. waiting to go in. (That is Morgan's I'm worried face but I am trying not to show it face)
We survived the ride. The girls liked it. Gwen ended up being captain, so she liked that she was "in charge". Morgan did not like that we "crash landed" but otherwise we all like it. It was SUPER tame, so I am not sure, next time we might need to try the orange side. It was an ok ride.
After that, we really needed to make it to Japan for our lunch reservation! We had reservations at Teppan Edo at 12:00 noon I have this picture I snapped when we were getting off the ride at 11:56. Oooopps! Needless to say, we were a bit behind schedule!
I just thought it was hilarious that they had these on this side. It was so tame and the tv screen was so tiny....
So, we started walking and the girls were just not moving. They were soon tired. I ended up giving Gwen a piggy back ride, which she is small but not that small! It was hot and I was dyeing. I was hoping that we could catch the boat across, if we were lucky... So, we were trying to rush over to that general area. And we saw a boat!
And then we saw it pull away... like 2 seconds before we could make it there.. Sigh...
So, we walked around the world showcase. I am not even sure which way we went. We were in such a rush. We walked around, I think we talked about the plan for after lunch as we did so, to keep the girls from completely dyeing. I think we arrived 12:15-ish. Not too bad.
They didn't give us any grief about being late, so that was good. Oh, that was the other thing, Gwen decided she had to go to the bathroom when we came out of Mission Space and I basically begged her to wait till we got to the restaurant. Which she did, but that was the first thing we had to do! And the bathrooms are ALL the way in the back! Which is fine except when you just walked all the way across the park.
I was glad to be in air conditioning for sure!
I am going to stop here. I will finish up with our lunch and rest of our time in EPCOT!
