EPCOT

One of the things they asked on our way into Disney on Monday night was was does EPCOT stand for? One person said "every one comes out tired". That's so true (although I think it's true for all the other parks as well). Really it stands for Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow. It's been many years since I've been to EPCOT and I really don't remember anything about it at all. We had a lot of fun yesterday & made ourselves quite woozy several times. First ride... about puked.

Mission Space.

It was a great "idea" of a ride, but when you get older like me & Corby, our stomach just can't handle it anymore. You choose how intense you want your training to be. Green is less intense & orange in more intense. No knowing how "intense" it really was, we chose the orange experience. You sit in a simulated spaceship, very tight, enclosed space with a screen & lots of control panels in front of you. You are turned upside down & blasted at g-force speeds into space while you are on a mission to Mars. It's so realistic (or at least what I think is realistic of being blasted into space). They even have barf bags on the ride. I'm really curious to how many times people have lost it in the ride. Anyway, fun concept. Not a fun ride. Corby came off white as a ghost & I really thought he was going to lose his trail mix. Thank goodness we had not ate a big breakfast before we got on.

On to the rest of the park. We rode a lot of simulated rides... seemed to have a lot of that there. My favorite ride was Test Track... where you are blasted around a car testing track through all kinds of conditions that really test cars go through. Fun ride. However, getting off the ride, I was trying to help this really, large man sitting beside of me get out of his seat belt & hit my knee cap. Didn't think it was that bad until I tried to walk. Geez... it was only the second ride & I'm already hobbleing around. It took well into the afternoon before I quit limping, but we tracked on.

We made it through the entire park. We didn't see every country to the fullest, but at least walked through them & rode most all of the rides & saw most of the shows that we wanted to. It was so cold the entire day. We both had on 3 layers & not once even thought about shedding even one layer.

Here are some pictures from our day at EPCOT.

This is our rental car for the week (just kidding... a Camero from the showcase of cars at the Test Track)
