Hour Wait for Soarin'? Whatever!
Hi everyone!
Before I start the update, I just want to point out 2 things:
1. I know, I'm a terrible DIS friend right now, and after I do this update, I'm not doing another one until I'm caught up on EVERYONE'S TR! It's crazy, I just have no time lately! I know I keep saying that but it's true, and when I do think I will have time, something comes up, I apologize! I haven't forgotten any of you or your TR's!
2. CHECK OUT THE NEW TICKER!!!!
We're officially going back to Disney in September for Food and Wine and the Halloween party! I wanted to wait until my vacation was approved at work and it was a few days ago, so yay! I'm a tiny bit sad at the thought of no Christmas decorations this year, but I think I'm ready to skip it for ONE year and do something different, and after missing Food and Wine last year, I need it in my life again this year! I don't have too many details of this trip yet, I'm not even sure where we're staying yet, I'm waiting for Free Dining to HOPEFULLY be announced, and something else to possibly work out, but as of now, I'm booked at AoA. I'm about 90% sure that will change! I might do a PTR for this trip, I'm not sure, but this is the first trip I've actually gotten to plan for a LONG time since my 2012 trip, so a PTR might be fun, but we'll see!
And now for the update, this might be short, but I wanted to do something while I had a spare second...
When we left off, Brandon and I finished up our little Epcot resorts tour and went back to Pop. I think we showered and rested for about 30 seconds and then we were back out the door, to my favorite place in the world, Epcot!
Yes, I take way too many pictures of Spaceship Earth, but hey, how else can you participate in #spaceshipearthsunday on Instagram, right?
I also have to take a million pictures of this fountain on each trip, I just love it!
I mean, it's no Fountain of Nations, but it's a close second!
Oh, and these things? Also have to take a million pictures of them!
I don't know what they are, but I love them! They make me just really feel like I'm in Epcot!
Anyway, there was only one thing I cared about that afternoon, and that was going on Soarin'. I needed to go on, it was calling me! Aannnnd...it had a 60 minute wait. Brandon of course, did NOT want to go on and wait 60 minutes, but I insisted. I actually wrote in my notes for that day "Waited an hour for Soarin. Don't care." because Brandon was being so annoying about waiting an hour for a ride that he couldn't care less about!
I'm sorry, but other than Tower of Terror, Soarin' is my favorite ride, so I need to go on it, and if I have to wait an hour, I'll wait!
My beloved Soarin' queue! I love it so much, even if you do want to die from boredom while you're waiting!
Soarin' was perfect, as always, we got to sit in the middle, which is really my only requirement on that ride! Sure, front row is always awesome, but I'd prefer the middle seat section over the front row way over on the right or left any day!
When we came out, the Land looked beautiful, I think because the sun was going down and it just made those balloons glow!
We went outside, and I was just amazed by how pretty the sky looked! I just love the Florida skies, the clouds are always so perfect and then the sunsets...forget it. Sunset at the parks is always such a great time to be outside, just taking it all in and looking around, everything glows and looks more beautiful than ever!
Imagine how much better those pictures would have looked from a real camera, taken by someone who knows what they are doing?
Seriously though, how pretty were the clouds? We spent a lot of time just standing around, taking pictures of the clouds.
I keep saying I want to move to Florida, but I would be the most unproductive person in Florida. Like, how would I ever have a job? All I'd want to do is go to Disney and look at sunsets. Maybe once you live there you get used to them.
Sometime that day, I made FP reservations for Test Track, and we had to wait for it to be time to go on, so we actually just stood there, in the middle of Epcot, just waiting. I took more pictures of things and Brandon played with his phone. Really effective time management in Disney here, people.
I mean, at least I got some pictures out of it, but still, bad planning on my part. I guess we could have went on an attraction with no wait, but I don't think I really wanted to walk because my feet were hurting too much.
I actually had a really good time during that waiting period, taking tons of pictures because I feel like I never get to do that. Yeah, maybe it was bad planning and maybe we should have done something, but at the same time, I always say I never have the time to just hang out and enjoy the scenery, so I'm grateful that I got to do that for once.
I'll stop here, because, well, I'm up to my image limit, and I have many more pictures to share!
Up next...more Epcot!
