Disney's Epcot: A Mix of Everything!

Jenny: It seems as the week rolls on the days don't slow down. We are going just as hard on the 5th day as we were on the 1st day.

Today we got up, ate breakfast, and headed to Epcot. Its a little hard to explain Epcot. It was filled with lots of history of different countries, futuristic information, innovation labs, space information, and indoor rides. The countries that were showcased were: Mexico, Norway, China, Germany, Italy, America, Japan, Morocco, Canada, and France. Each Country had its own little area with its own restaurant and snack shop (how cool).

Right when we walked in the park, we saw an amazing site. This huge silver ball structure! Before investigating the structure we had to get our fast pass for a ride (Soarin) that Anthony researched. Soarin is supposedly the best ride at Epcot. This rides wait was crazy long. Our fast pass appointment was 3 hours so we had plenty of time to explore. 

We walked back to the structure and discovered that the "huge silver ball" was actually a ride called Spaceship Earth. Spaceship earth is a ride that is meant for you to see yourself in the future. The ride was easy going and fun at the same time. Lots of the rides at this park were pretty easy going. We then made our way around to all of the showcased countries and by this time it was time for our fast pass ride. 

Soarin was pretty neat. It was a ride that felt like you were flying over popular sites in California. I got a little queasy, but kept reminding myself that it was just an optical illusion and it was all good. It did turn out to be one of the best rides at Epcot. 
After Soarin I got a little brave and decided that I would give into my urge to eat a Cinnamon and sugar jumbo pretzel. I knew that we still had a couple of rides left before leaving the park but most of them were pretty easy going so far. I ate the pretzel and on to the next ride... Mission Space

Mission Space had an option: choose the green group for a mild mission or the orange group for a intense journey. Of coarse when I asked Anthony which color he said Orange group with no hesitation and headed toward the orange group line. We had no idea of what this ride was or how it worked. We found out that it was a rocket ship simulation ride. Iv'e never experienced a simulation ride until now and it was different. Its amazing how they create technology to make you feel like you are in another place doing something you have no business doing. I got off that ride and my stomach is still hurting. Maybe it was the Jumbo cinnamon and sugar pretzel eaten before the ride. I don't know but I do know that I will not be eating any pretzels or any of the like during tomorrows adventure. 

Hugs and Love You All, 
Jenny
