Disney Trip - Day Two

Monday, day two, we went to Epcot for the day. It just so happened that Oct. 1st was Epcot's 25th anniversary. They had souvenir buttons and guide maps, special events to commemorate, and additional fireworks that night. We had a great start, it was hot but bearable.



We rode Soarin' - Ian's favorite ride of the trip. Soarin' is a simulation hang glider ride through California. Needless to say, my fear of heights were running wild during this ride. I survived and even rode it again on a later date. Ian did not enjoy Test Track - it was a little too wild for him. Check out the picture below:



We had lunch at the steakhouse in the Canada pavilion. It was wonderful! Love that chocolate mousse!




Then it was on to world showcase where it was the Food and Wine festival - food and wines from around the world to sample. Very nice - especially the Moet and Chandon champagne with chocolate truffles!

Here we are at the France pavilion:

Unfortunately around dinner time it started to rain and then pour. We forgot our rain ponchos in the hotel room and thus were soaked through and through. My feet are still recovering from the blisters from that night. Ugh. We didn't stay for the fireworks and instead bought fresh t-shirts and towels at a store and left the park after changing. We never forgot the ponchos after that!
