Epcot

This morning we got up, ate breakfast at the food court in our resort. Mine was kind of all slopped together (french toast, eggs, sausage, bacon, home fries) and then we bought tickets to the parks, and tried to get a reservation at Le Cellier (which is where I will be working soon) Apparently in order to get a seat there, you need to book at least 6 months in advance. Unless there is a cancellation, but those chances are slim to none. Le Cellier is the best restaurant in all of Disney, aside from character dining. Should be pretty crazy. Kinda getting nervous, but I should do ok.

At Epcot, we first went to ride Spaceship Earth. The lineup goes by fast because the ride itself is on a conveyor type thing so the seats don't stop moving at all. In this ride, you are seated in "time machines". Next we hit Test Track and got a FastPass to ride that. Then it was Ellen's Energy Adventure at the Universe of Energy which is more of a movie then a ride. Then we finally went on Test Track, which is actually considered a thrill ride considering the speed. If you haven't been on it, it's a ride that is sponsored by GM. You ride in a "race car" and go through several tests, sort of like you are a crash test dummy. I don't want to spoil it all but its really cool. I wanted to go on Mission Space but unfortunately both of my rents are wusses. After Future World, we headed to World Showcase (a.k.a where I will be working for a year) Now I used to hate walking around this thing when I was little cause all it is is a bunch of stores and restaurants, and a couple of attractions here and there, but now I LOVE it. It's really neat to see Disney's version of all the different countries. Food and Wine fest is still going on now too, and besides the countries that are showcased year round, they have foods from Australia, Thailand etc. Don't forget the wine of course. Worth checking out if you go between now and November. So we stopped at the Canada Pavilion first, checked out this new O Canada 360 film starring Martin Short, I have a feeling if I watch that enough times it'll make me home sick lol. Such a good movie though. I also talked to some Canadians at the Northwest Mercantile. I was actually looking for a friend of mine from Fanshawe, but she wasn't working today, so I talked to these 2 girls. They were really nice. They answered any questions I had about moving in, the job etc. We stopped at the UK pavilion after that, ate at the Rose & Crown (which was delicious, I had Shephard's Pie) , the waitress there was also really friendly, she even told me what building she was in just in case I needed anything, and she gave me a number for the best cab. I think I'll make friends juuust fine :)

Finally we went on The Seas with Nemo and Friends, its definitely for kids, but its cute. It was my first time going on the new version actually. Then we decided to leave Epcot, and go to Target to buy some last minute supplies/goodies and then headed back to the hotel.

Tomorrow is move in day, check in is at noon. Sooo excited.

Talk to you guys soon,

Natalie
