Cori's Trip to Walt Disney World - Epcot (day 2)

The main tip of this post is, don't go to Epcot (and I would assume the Magic Kingdom) on a Friday at the end of the school year. I can't tell you how many "____ Elementary School Class of 2012" t-shirts we saw that day. And the Fast Passes for everything were gone by 12 o'clock. This is a picture of the food line at The Electric Umbrella at about 12:45. Glad we missed that!

We still had a good day though. We rode Mission: Space (my first time doing it with the G forces. I'll stick with the non-G force one next time. It didn't make me sick or anything, I just didn't enjoy the feeling, and had a more fun ride without it). Next we headed over to Ellen's Energy Adventure, which I love, because I grew up watching Bill Nye the Science Guy, and still curse PBS that that show (along with Wishbone) was never released on DVD (yeah, they have individual episodes available for science teachers, but who wants to buy all of them and then have to get up and change the DVD every half hour?)

On the way back over to the World Showcase, we caught the Epcot Jammitors. These guys are crazy talented! Very Stomp-esque. If you see them, definitely stop and watch. At one point, one of the guys was drumming with two sticks in each hand!

Once we got to the World Showcase, we headed to The American Adventure (AJ's favorite) to catch the Fife and Drum Corps. They were awesome, and I don't know if they're a permanent thing, or were just there especially for Memorial Day Weekend.

In addition, we caught the Voices of Liberty in the rotunda before the American Adventure show started. They are an a cappella group, and are always amazing. They ended their set with a beautiful rendition of "You'll Never Walk Alone" from Carousel, dedicated to all of the men and women serving in our armed forces.


After America we hit the rest of the countries we hadn't done yet (or at least the ones that we wanted to hit). In Morocco, AJ found the Fez House, and we had to take a picture to send Khy (every time AJ makes a lame joke, Khy calls him a fez. He says it's because AJ talks like an old Freemason or Shriner, and should be wearing a fez). We went to Germany to get some beer, and for AJ to put me on the spot and tell me to "speak German to the cast members!" After we walked around some more, and finished our beers, we were ready to go. So we walked around, saying good bye to Walt Disney World as we left.

We left the next morning. We were sad to go, but at the same time, we were glad to get home. We missed our babies terribly, and they missed us! They wouldn't stop cuddling us!
