Oh my! So Sorry! I ended up being sent out of town on a temporary duty for the summer! Well I'll update now!
Day 2 - Wednesday 25 May - "Wow... This is a bit of a let down."
Apologies but this update is not very picture heavy...
So after our wild night at Magic Kingdom, DH and I decided we would get up at 7 AM. Well we are still working off jet lag at this point so when the alarm went off we did the unthinkable and hit snooze!!! :O
We rolled out of bed at about 8 and headed for our next park: Epcot! We made it there around 930 and we were still having decent luck with the transportation. No wait for the monorail!

We were greeted by this beautiful sight and then made our way further into Future World. I'm going to post a disclaimer: DH and I were honestly not impressed with Epcot.
Continuing on: We quickly found there wasn't a whole lot to do and there are next to no breakfast options. We wandered around and rode Living with the Land. I remembered this from my childhood and it brought back a lot of memories. I enjoyed it and maybe when DH and I come back someday I'll do the Behind the Seeds tour. We next used our FP for Spaceship Earth. That also brought back awesome memories. We didn't get the custom future though. I think the ride was down just before we got to it so maybe it just wasn't working at the time.
World Showcase was finally open so we headed that way. I was excited because as a kid I never got to go through it. We stopped at Canada and watched Oh Canada! It was nice to see our country like that and even go to see our city! That was so cool! Unfortunately we had to rush a bit to get to Japan as we had an ADR at Teppan Edo! I had the Ebi and it was soooo good! We even got a nice surprise when they brought our dessert and sang a song for our Honeymoon! And while the meal was quite good it was also quite pricey! We were shocked this trip because we kept comparing everything to DLR. The food prices don't seem that bad in Cali. We wandered through Mitsukoshi and DH picked up some Tabi socks. I grabbed a strawberry Kakigori as we made our way through World Showcase and over to Test Track. It was fun but we definitely prefer RSR.
We went to Club Cool because I was determined to try Beverly. I reacted exactly how everyone else seems to react but DH? He LOVED it. He commented that the drink isn't supposed to be guzzled but used to cleanse the palate. Personally I think adulting it up might make it tolerable. Hahaha! Bit of a funny but sad moment though. At the stand we were at there was a young boy and his mom. Well mom wasn't paying attention and bumped her poor kid who proceeded to dump his pop all over himself! DH and I felt bad and quickly fled the scene, making our way over the sticky floor to the outside and the heat. OH MY GOODNESS!
Why didn't anyone warn me about the heat!? Honestly there were a couple of days I was concerned I wasn't going to make it out of Florida. But again I digress. We wandered some more and checked out Figment. My new favourite imaginary friend! Such an interesting and unexpected ride! We checked out Nemo and Friends since we had FP's but really didn't find it that interesting. We had to head back to the hotel though, as we had a very special dinner planned for the evening. We were dining at California Grill! Our good luck with the transportation continued! We were seated quickly and had a GORGEOUS view of the sunset. We were seated at 730 PM which was our ADR. I had the Combo Sushi Roll. I really liked the shrimp but the california roll had chunks and I mean LARGE chunks of shell in it. I'm not normally one to complain about my food (I serve and prepare food for a living I know how hard it is) but the waiter gleaned it out of me when he noticed I only ate one piece of the roll. He felt so bad about it. He ended up comping both the desserts. One was already comped because of the Honeymoon.
The bread was AMAZING! (Seriously I could've eaten another two baskets!)

And I had my first adult beverage of the trip!

Although I'm going to be honest I don't remember what it is. It's beer and it was very good though!

And finally my dessert! It was the peach and berry creme brulee.... SO GOOD! I also had a 7 dollar cup of coffee which I don't think will be happening again soon.
Well tonight was EMH at Magic Kingdom so we decided to head over there and try to close out the park. We walked onto Monster Laugh Floor as Wishes was just starting. I did not realize it had audience participation. I laughed soooo hard haha! We hopped on Astro Orbiters (this one had a bit of a line as the park was just starting to close so people were jumping into the nearest line for one last ride before EMH began) Then we hopped on Dumbo. Made us miss DLR. Then 100 acre wood. Oh that is a fun one! After that we were feeling thirsty to we hopped next door to grab a couple of fountain drinks. The CM handed them to us and said that Mickey wanted us to have them. Woot free drinks! We finished off the evening with Haunted Mansion and we both really enjoyed the queue!
Next: How do we get back to the busses?!
