We went to the gym about 6:30
We bought our Genie+ right before 7. Since we were heading to Epcot today, we wanted to get the Virtual Queue for Guardians of the Galaxy and book our first genie+ selection at 7. I did the virtual queue first - group 54. And I was able to book our first Genie+ selection for Remy good from 10:15-11:15. I thought that worked pretty smoothly. We continued our workout once those tasks were done. Scott didn’t have to pause, he just amused me by listening to me telling him that we got the virtual queue and Remy.
Back in the villa, our normal morning routine of laundry, jacuzzi, showers, and breakfast.
At 8:30 (when Epcot opened) I bought an Individual Lightening Lane for Scott for Guardians of the Galaxy good from 12:20-1:20. He’ll ride first by himself and let me know if he thinks I can go on it.
We headed to Epcot. We stopped for a few pictures.
You probably noticed that Scott doesn’t really smile much in pictures. He’s laughing in the next one because the photographer was asking the people to line up along the concrete and this woman instead of standing alongside it went right into the grass. It doesn’t sound that funny but when we were there it was hysterical and the photographer caught Scott cracking up about it.
We headed into World Showcase towards France as we were in the window to ride Remy. Since it was two hours after the park opened we were able to book our next Genie+ selection and booked Soarin which had a return time about 10 minutes later; good from 10:50-11:50.
Remy is a cute ride. After riding we headed back towards the front of the park.
We tapped into Soarin around 11:30 and were able to book Living with the Land valid from 11:35-12:35.
Soarin was a lot of fun and we were in the middle section this time to everything looked straight. The last time we rode we were towards one of the sides near the end and many of the landmarks looked curved.
We headed right onto Living with the Land, very convenient since it’s right near Soarin about 11:50 and booked The Seas with Nemo for 11:55-12:55.
We enjoyed our ride on Living with the Land, then headed over the Seas and tapped in to enjoy our ride with Nemo.
It’s great when the Genie+ options work out like this where you tap in and can choose another attraction starting within a few minutes.
It was time for Scott’s ILL for Guardians of the Galaxy. I waited for him and it took about 40 minutes for him to get back. I booked a Genie+ for Figment while waiting which was good from 1:20-2:20
He thought Guardians of the Galaxy was amazing but would probably make me sick. He mentioned that the virtual queue line seemed to be moving slower then the ILL lines. I didn’t ride not wanting to take a chance getting sick. We didn’t use the virtual queue.
We took a few pictures
We stopped in the Creations Shop. I found a few shirts and Scott found a hat. When we checked out they didn’t have any regular bags for your purchases except for the reusable ones you could buy if you wanted to.
We tapped into Figment and got a Genie+ selection for Spaceship Earth good for a few minutes later from 2-3.
Spaceship Earth was decent but the attraction stopped several times while riding. This has happened the last few times. Not a big deal and not for long but a minute here, a minute there.
We headed out of the park and back to Vistana Villages. I think we went swimming for a little while.
