Birthday-ness!

[snapdragon76]

Today was pretty awesome! I'm utterly exhausted, but I loved every minute of it so it was well worth it.

EPCOT was cool as always. I got a button with my name on it that said Happy Birthday, that way people (mostly employees) could greet me and stuff. It was very weird in a way! Me, who doesn't like attention drawn to her!

Anyway, I got my FastPass for Mission: Space which I had to come back for later. Meanwhile mom and I toured the World Showcase, which has always been a favorite of ours. Mom liked Mexico a lot. She had a real hankering for some enchilada's but no one served any...

The Viking ride in Norway was closed when we got there, so we weren't able to go on that unfortunately. We went to China and then Germany. We spent more time in Germany because of our family ties. Mom chatted up one of the German cast members about our German family ties.

We went to the American pavilion whee we took in the show there. Mom and I always liked that show. And we always get a little choked up at the very end. Every. Time.

Then I had to hustle back to the Mission: Space ride so I could get on using my FastPass. It was fun. Mom wouldn't have liked it though...

Then mom and I hit the World Showcase again with Canada this time. I told one of the cast members from Nova Scotia that I knew someone who live there. umadoshi, were your ears burning? LOL! We went to see the film they have which was neat because I got to see the places a lot of my Canadian friends talk about so much!

Then we went to England where we ate at the pub there. I actually tried some ale there, but I didn't drink much of it because I dislike bitterness and beer is bitter! But, I can say I tried it! I also had some fish and chips which was very good! Cod is a nice mild fish.

The heat was starting to get to mom, so we had to move it along some. We skimmed by France and Morocco. We lingered more in Japan because I wanted to look in the gift shop. Biiiig mistake. I saw a lot of neat stuff, like Naruto and Bleach plushies. I also saw the Hitsugaya and Urahara action figures which I contemplated getting (at least Toshiro). Then I saw Domo! I've always wanted a Domo! So I got him and a charm for car instead. Besides, I figure I can order Toshiro from Entertainment Earth like I did Ichigo and Rukia.

By this time we made full circle. We wandered (slowly this time since we were in pain from walking all day) to see if we could go on the Soarin' ride. No go. The wait was 85 minutes! We had FastPasses, but they were only good starting at 8:24! We were drained of energy by this time, so we decided to head out. We stopped by the gift store where I spent too much money (-_-). secondlina I thought of you when I bought my pin trading lanyard today: it was Nightmare Before Christmas and had Jack and Sally pins on it! I saw adorable WALL-E and EVE plushies, but I didn't get them...

So, now we come to the pictures! It's going to be like the last time, where I uploaded them onto a site that makes them into a nice little slideshow., I figure it'd be easier this way instead of linking to somewhere where you had to slog through them individually.

Enjoy!

Happy Birthday! The slideshow is wonderful. :) Epcot is my favorite place in Disney. Now I wanna go back! Glad you had such a good time.

[snapdragon76.livejournal.com]

Thanks! And there's so much to see you need more than one day to see everything!

[coastal-spirit.livejournal.com]

Yes! We've gone twice, and always spent one of our "extra" days going back to Epcot.

There were still things I wanted to see when we left...

Happy birthday! I also have a fond place in my heart for EPCOT so it's nice reading about you going there :)

[snapdragon76.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Yeah, it was a toss up between there and Hollywood Studios! I think I made a good choice!

What a way to spend your birthday! I was really sad to have to leave Florida mere days before my birthday, so no free day for me. EPCOT is seriously the best park though! Maybe not so much for rides (although I really enjoyed Test Track, Soarin' and Mission: Space), but the overall atmosphere was just wonderful. Not to mention, the store in Japan was awesome! The walk between EPCOT and Disney's Hollywood Studios is also so pretty...

The Viking ride always seems to be down though. It went down as I was in line, so I never got to see what that was all about. Oh well. Incentive to return. ^_-

That is too bad! I got a button with my name on it and everyone wished me a Happy Birthday. When we ate at the Rose and Crown, I got a signed certificated by all the servers there.

I didn't get a chance to ride the Test Track. Maybe the next time we go. Mom said we'd go sometime during the fall 9wether this fall or not I don't know) where it's cooler.

We were gonna try to go back to the Viking ride, but we were too tired by then...
