Disney Vacation: Day 3 (Epcot Center) PART 1

The following took place on Wednesday, October 28th, 2015:

The phone rang and it's Baymax giving me my wake-up call! I open the curtains to a bright and beautiful sunny Florida day!



Time to get dressed, chug a 5-hour energy, brushed my teeth, sprayed on my sun block, grabbed my backpack, and I was out the door! First, I went to Boma for my breakfast, a Mickey waffle, a chocolate chip muffin, and strawberries all smothered in chocolate sauce!



I went back outside to the bus stops and waited for my bus. Today, I'm going to Epcot Center, home of the large golf ball!



I got my bags inspected, but ran into a little trouble at the entry gate. (I later found out I was using a different finger for the fingerprint scan than I used at Animal Kingdom) Oh well, they reset it and I was inside!



I first stepped into Guest Relations to get a map of Epcot. Then I went to Mouse Gear and bought a Grumpy coffee mug and a 2015 Mickey Mouse snow globe.



I wandered around the major parts of Epcot for a good few minutes.



Then I arrived at the Test Track. The line took a while but the music kept me pumped up. The inside was nice.



I designed a cool black truck but I forgot to take a picture of it before arriving at the ride itself. The ride was really incredible! I managed to take pictures of my designed vehicle on the test screens if you can see it. It's the black one. By the way, we stopped on the ride of a bit because of an impending rain storm. Indeed, when the moved outside, I was hit with a blast of rain. Okay, it was just a sprinkle, but we were moving fast.



After the ride, I entered an exhibit of various Chevrolet vehicles. One of them was my dream vehicle! It was a Chevrolet Suburban! MY DREAM CAR!



Upon leaving Test Track, it was already raining outside. For the first time, I put on my poncho (which was easier to handle than I thought) and continued on. I journeyed through the rain and approached the glass pyramids, wondering what they were.



Upon entering, I discovered this ride called Journey Into Imagination with Figment. Never heard of it, but it was Disney World, so I gave new things a try. It was one wild and crazy ride, but it was enjoyable. I loved it.



That was fun! As I exited the place, I passed by this sign that said Captain EO. Again, never heard of it, so I decided to give it a try and venture in. Turns out it was a Michael Jackson 3D movie.



That show was okay I guess. Not the best, but still enjoyable. As I walked out of Captain EO, I was mesmerized by these shooting water squirts. Despite the raining, I seemed to be drawn to it.



Okay, back on course, I was heading north up the street and on my left was a structure commemorating all about the Land! Drawn to it (and drawn to the fact that I can go inside) I entered and was astonished by the huge complex! What to do first? What to do?



First, I decided to try out this slow boat ride called Living with the Land. It was interesting and I enjoyed it, seeing how flora are affected and how they adapt to different environments.



Well, that was fun. After getting off of Living with the Land, I put on my poncho and exited the building. It was pouring outside by now! I made my way across the lot towards the large Geodesic Sphere building, also known as Spaceship Earth. I had a FastPass for that and I was excited to go on it.



I got on the ride, slowly getting on the people-mover seats There was a soothing electronic voice telling me I was being transported back in time to learn of the evolution of man, from cavemen, to the Greeks, Egyptians, Romans, to modern marvels. The ride was very interesting, and I have to say it was possibly my FAVORITE ride at Epcot!



Upon exiting Spaceship Earth, the rain has settled down a bit, but I kept my poncho on just in case.



After exploring the main grounds of Epcot for a while, I decided to venture into the World Showcase! I journeyed my way through Canada and stopped into the United Kingdom. There, everybody told me I had to try their fish and chips. So I went to Yorkshire County Fish Shop where I ordered fish and chips. After grabbing some malt vinegar, I maneuvered down to the patios, sat down, and began eating. As I ate, I saw this squirrel rummaging around under the tables. Years ago, I'd be scared out of my mind due to the fact that I suffered Sciurophobia. However, I've learned to get over it and I found the squirrel to be cute and I didn't flinch when it came near me. They are cute. After I finished eating, I crossed the International Gateway Bridge and into France.



I entered the home-country of my ancestors, France! There, I approached a food cart stand and ordered myself a chocolate crape. People in front of me were ordering American-dishes, but I wanted something authentically French. Let me tell you, that crape was delicious!



Once I left France, I entered into Morocco. The building structures were incredible, and unlike the other countries this place had a strong incense smell to it. It was intoxicating, I loved it!



I decided not to continue further just yet. I turned around and headed back the way I came. By then, the sun has come out and most of the rain has dried up. Very interesting how things dry up quickly in Florida. Upon arriving back in Future World, a song was playing and naturally I danced as I saw the fountains put on a water show.


Once the show was done, I headed west towards The Seas with Nemo and Friends.  the ride was interesting, despite that I still haven't actually seen the movie yet.
