From The Past: July 28, 2008

We made it home from Walt Disney World around 12:30 AM this morning. We had a wonderful time. I took TONS of pictures. There is no way I can adequately tell you about six days in one post, so I will spread it out over the next few days.

On the 22nd, I rode on my first airplane. I was nervous; but confident that nothing bad would happen. We went from Lexington, Kentucky to Charlotte, North Carolina. In Charlotte, we boarded another plane which took us to Orlando, Florida.

Day 1

As soon as we landed at the airport, we boarded a shuttle bus which took us to Disney’s Pop Century Resort. Once we took a quick glance around our room, we took another shuttle bus to Epcot.

Since it was lunchtime, we ate fish and chips in the United Kingdom at the Yorkshire County Fish Shop. After eating, we went straight to a 3-D show called Honey, I Shrunk The Audience. (This was my favorite 3-D show of the trip.)

Journey Into Imagination with Figment was next. Ashley really enjoyed this.

The Seas with Nemo and Friends followed.

Next, we rode Mission: SPACE. This is a fun motion theatre, but not one for those afraid of the dark or tight spaces. On this ride, you can be on an Orange team which is very intense and spins you around or a Green team which is still intense, but does not spin. Kevin and I chose to go Green. Once the ride ended, I was glad we chose Green otherwise we would have been sick.

We rode Spaceship Earth which is a dark ride. Actually, a lot of the rides are dark.

We went through a set of exhibits called Innovations. This was a lot like walking through the children’s museum.

We walked through Mexico, Norway, and China and then rode Test Track. We ate dinner at the Cantina de San Angel in Mexico and then rode the best motion theatre in any of the parks called Soarin’. This was one of my favorite rides. We stayed in the park until 11:30 and then had to travel back to the resort. Considering we had risen at 4 AM, we were tired.
