Evening all - here is the day 6 scores from the Florida jury!
We're getting the morning routine down to a fine art, and we were parked up and at the turnstiles at Epcot for exactly 8am this morning. Jake was dispatched to the Land pavilion to pick up fast passes for Soarin' and then we joined the queue for the all new Test Track (the queue which was showing as 5 minutes right up until the point that we walked in, when it changed to 20!),
It is certainly the case that the queue area and the general theming for the ride have been substantially updated, albeit that the ride track remains the same as before. Part way through the queue we were issued with a credit card-sized piece of white plastic which we registered at a design station, and we were able to design our own car, which then featured with us both throughout and after the ride. Here's the car that we designed.
It was a chilly morning today, and it was particularly cold whizzing around the outside part of the ride!
Once we'd had our morning pastry, it was back to the Land for our ride on Soarin'. By the time we got there (about half past nine) the standby queue was already up to 75 minutes. Afterwards we walked straight on to Figment, before testing the Cola drinks from around the world.
We made our way clockwise around World Showcase, doing both of the boat rides (Mexico and Norway) and Jake and I watched the circle-vision film in China, before we made our way to Japan and to Teppan Edo for lunch. The menu was very slightly different than before, but only for the starters, so rather than grilled sushi rolls, Jake had some ribs, Nicky had tempura and I had some miso soup.
After lunch we completed our circuit of the world before wandering back towards the entrance, stopping for a look in Mouse Gear, trading a pin or two, and finding Jake's legacy picture.
We came back home for a little while, and made a very important phone call (Happy Birthday Poppa) and then decided that some practice putting would be in order before tomorrow's game. However, when we arrived at Fantasia Gardens we were told that there was an hour and a half wait, and we didn't fancy that, so got back in the car and went for a look at LBVFS.
Jake did best on that trip, getting some new Nike basketball trainers. The only other purchase (also from the Nike store) was a box of 24 golf balls for the bargain price of $8.97. Hopefully 24 will be enough for Jake and I to play 9 holes at the Oak Trail course tomorrow morning!
Back here, I went out with my camera and the tripod to take some long exposure pictures in the twilight.
