Epcot

I really liked this park.

The Flower and Garden Show was going on and the displays were amazing.

I was entranced by the different country exhibits.

It was a very hot day, however, and even though the flower displays held up, we started to wilt. We had Fast Passes to Soarin’ Around the World which we really enjoyed although we almost missed it. Had we arrived even one minute later we would have lost our Fast Pass, and there was almost a 2 hour wait without one. This was a great ride. Disney seems to be using virtual reality rides a lot, and I for one am a fan. They are thrilling without feeling dangerous.

Between our ride, however, and our dinner reservation, we had six hours to kill. We left the park and rode on the Monorail before returning.

Finally, we decided to walk over to the Coral Reef Restauraunt and ask if we could move our reservation up. And they were happy to do that! Probably the fact that 4:30 is not an ideal dining time for most people made it easier for them to fit us in!

Our table overlooked the giant fish tank, with sharks, skates, and stingrays swimming past us. The food was excellent, too. There was exactly ONE vegan entree, a Tempura Cauliflower dish with baby potatoes, soy sausage crumble, and baby spinach and it was yummy. Bob had the Lobster Macaroni and Cheese and enjoyed it as well.
