Our day at Epcot was nearly perfect!
It started off by being able to park in the very first row of parking spaces because Mark has a handicapped hang tag and we were REALLY early at arriving. Then the bag check guy was singing songs to us about checking the bags. It was funny, so we got a magical feeling at WDW right away.
The ticket-selling booths tried to kill that feeling by being slow and not getting things right, but we didn't let it bother us too much. We were IN Epcot by 9:08 a.m., ready for a marvelous day.
The weather was perfect and the crowds were light. Mark had a Guest Assistance Card which meant that we could bypass any lines and go in the alternative entrance. The lines were short that we didn't even need the special pass for anything except three of the bigger rides: Mission Space, Test Track, and Soarin'. Even THOSE rides had relatively short lines (15 for Mission Space, 35 for Test Track, and 45 for Soarin') but we used the card anyway. Mark and Carol rode every ride and attraction in Future World except Living with the Land and Captain EO. We ate lunch in The Land food court and dinner at the German Oktoberfest buffet. Everything was great.
When we finally left Future World, we went to listen to Off Kilter in Canada, then the British Revolution in UK. We shopped in France, looked at Morocco, listened to the drumming show in Japan, listened to the Fife and Drum Corps and Voices of Liberty in the American Pavilion before going in for the big show inside. When that was over, we walked through Italy and then got to our dinner reservation in Germany early. We got in quickly, enjoyed the buffet, and the Oom-pah band that played while we ate. The weather stayed warm and nice, even as we walked back to the car. When we got home, it was still early enough that we say and watched the DVD of our "It's a Wonderful Life" show in November.
Today we slept late; Mark S. worked on Mark W.'s computer some more to make it talk to him; we took a walk around the lake; we had a late breakfast/early lunch. Soon the trip is over. We are driving them to the Kissimmee Amtrak in just a few minutes. I'll miss them! Love you, Mark and Carol! Come again soon.
