Epcot centre today. March 19 2012

Well another day over near Disney area.

Up a little later today. Didn't think we would have to get up too early as we are not catching any shuttle that has to leave on time. Just catching one that runs every 20 minutes.

So now out the door we go. The weather is threatening to rain. Well maybe. But the temperature is to go up to 29 today. This is going to be one hot day. At least after tomorrow it will cool off a little. Well I will be back into my pants then. Tomorrow it is saying that there might be thunderstorms. So tomorrow is going to be a laze around day and maybe sit by the pool, but I have to get a bit of laundry done as well. Working while I am on holiday. Sucks!!!

Doing our walking walking walking. Over to animal kingdom we go. Find the right shuttle to Epcot and then we are on our way. Walking over there is starting to feel longer and longer every time we do it. Something we have to do though or start paying for a taxi to get us there and probably have to pay a fortune for that. I am cheap when it comes to some things.

Driving Into Epcot took no time at all. A little closer then going to Disney. The walk up to the gate was not too long either. Just off to the right from the bus depot. So easy to find.

Bags checked at the gate again. One of the ladies that was checking bags said they ate looking for food. They don't like food brought in. I guess they like to have you purchase food there. They get you coming and going.

Through the gate and ticket has been swiped. They took out finger print as well. I guess no one else can use my ticket now

The first place we come to is future land. And a big globe right in front of us. We walk up the ramp and are on our first ride. Very slow sissy ride. Just my style. We ride up and up and learn about inventions through the years. Yeah I know a sissy ride. I'll take it. After we are off that are directed through to a gift shop . Out of the gift shop and am now turned around. I am looking at the map but is not making any sense. Should we be over there or are we suppose to be walking this way. Lost already and we just got there.

Well I wanted to go on soaring. That is a ride where it feels like you are flying in a hang glider. Still turned around and head into the wrong building. End up on the ride with finding nemo. Yeah yeah another sissy ride. When we came to the end of that ride it looked like the cartoon characters are in a real aquarium. How did they make that look so real. You know what as we got off the ride it was real. This was a building that was one big aquarium. Could see sharks and sting rays and lots of fish and coral. So wandered around and looked at all the fish and such.

When we came out of the building and the weather was feeling a little more warmer. Starting to get pretty darn hot and sun has come out from behind the clouds that had formed this morning. Oh boy it is going to be a scorcher today.

All the gardens where in beautiful bloom. It was set up for a show on home and garden. Flowers flowers everywhere. And such vibrant colours. All the shrubbes and trees were cut up to look like Disney characters. Interesting indeed.

We headed ourselves over to the next building and there we found soaring. The wait was 90 minutes long. You sure you want to wait. Well you want to go on and it is cool here we will wait. Well the wait was not as long as we thought. Only took 45 minutes to get up to where we went on. So they send us through a a gate and there is another line. Great more waiting. Well that part was not too long. Got put into designated areas to where we where going to sit. Then a little blurb about what was going to happen. Then we went into the seating area. All hats and loose items put under the seat. A seat belt put on. The top came down and little lights went off. We felt like we where being lifted off the ground. Then the picture turned. It was all around us. The breeze was blowing in our face as the picture turned left we turned with it. We flew over the lions gate bridge, through Yosemite park, and over a golf course. Over and aircraft carrier and then over Disney before landing. I really felt like you where flying. I loved the ride. For a sissy.

Okay got on the ride I wanted to see. Now we start walking allot. Made our way around the rest of the park. Stopped to watch the movies in Canada exhibit, USA exhibit and the French exhibit. Looked through the gift shops. I found a nice t shirt to buy. So now something different to wear.

Had lunch at a pulled pork kiosk. The weather was getting hotter. Whew!!! I didn't feel much like doing any more walking. Checked out the rest of the countries, made our way back to tomorrow land and decided it was time to head back to hotel.

Oh do we go this way or do we go that. Finally after hitting a couple of dead ends and not getting out, turning around and backtracking we made it back to the entrance. Over to the bus station and heading back to animal kingdom. This is where we start walking again. Have to get back to our resort area. Something to eat and then back to our room.

Hot tub tonight. Walking and the sun made it a good night for a good soaking. Tomorrow will take it easy and then next day will be off to Disney Hollywood studios. May not be much there but have tickets to get into Disney five times so let's use them up here.

Talk again tomorrow. Thunderstorms are said to be on the way. So will not be venturing too far away. Maybe a relax by the pool for awhile.. Need a bit rest before I start to seaze up too bad. I am hurtin now a little more then I want to.
