Epcot
We met Dave's parents, grandparents, and aunts and uncles in Orlando in May for Dave's grandparents' 60th anniversary. Dave stands in front of the Epcot ball.
Thanks to our wheelchair-riding grandparents and Uncle Howard, and Dad who kept getting us fast passes, we went to the front of every line. There was beautiful Disney music playing everywhere. And since they had been at Disney World for a week, they knew what to do and where to go. So:
family
+ perfect weather
+ no lines
+ no decisions
+ the land of happiness
perfect vacation
Self-portrait on the "Finding Nemo" ride (we're riding in a seashell). We thought it would be too kiddy for adults, but it was amazing. Toward the end, the Nemo characters are all hologrammed into real fish tanks, singing songs. We came out at the end saying "How did they do that!?!"
We loved Soaring, and were bored with the ride in the Epcot ball. Uncle Allen was right when he said that the ride inside would be better if it was twice as fast.
Behind me is the World pavilion. I loved walking through all the buildings and settings. My favorites were the Moroccan architecture, the Japanese store, the China 360° movie, the American drum-and-fife core, and the brightly-colored Mexican shops and active volcano. I love that all the world people are really citizens of that country.
Mission to Mars was a fantastic ride! The 4 G's almost made me ill, but the graphics screen really made you feel like you were launching off the earth. You can watch the movie Apollo 13, play space computer games, but you don't know what it's really like until you ride this one!
They had to do corny things with the actors. The 2 brothers, Robertson fun-seekers to the core, ate it up. Definitely was the highlight!
The next day we went to church for an hour and said goodbye. We sure had a good time!
