Alison was hesitant to go on since she saw how fast the cars were running. She is a little frightened of rides with high speeds, but I am working on fixing that. But here she is looking a little apprehensive as we wait in line:
Kris and Sarah thought it was fun, Ali was still a little scared and was screaming at the turns and high speeds... Personally, I wasn't too thrilled with it. I thought it was a little too hyped. Afterward, as with all the Disney rides, you get channeled through the gift shops. The test track moved us through a small automobile show room. We got to look at some new cars, and as much as I disagree with GM being owned by the government, there were some good prices on a couple of their cars ( I am beginning to shop for a replacement for my car). And, Kris got to actually sit in a new Camaro. Of course as soon as she did, a salesman was there to ask if we wanted any info on the new Camaro.
Once the Test Track was over, we went back over to the Nemo ride in the Seas. It took longer going through all the turnstiles than it did to actually stand in line to wait. Ali wasn't very impressed with it, but I told her at least we were inside in the A/C. Not that it was all that bad. The heat was actually pretty good, it was the humidity that was a drag. But I have to say even that wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. It was much worse at the Magic Kingdom the day before.
When we had finished the Nemo "ride" itself, we walked around to look at the aquariums they have full of tropical fish and the manatees. Ali wanted to go do the shark area, so we let her run around there for a little bit and take an interactive shark quiz.
After the Seas, we walked over to "Ellen's Energy Adventure". I remembered being on it back in 1984, but that was well before Ellen DeGeneres redid the movie. We got there about five minutes before the movie started. I didn't realize how long it was until we got there and saw the signs that said it was a 45-minute moving theater experience. I thought that would be another nice, long A/C ride during a hot part of the day.
When we finished, we walked over to Mexico to see if we could eat in the Mayan pyramid for some good, authentic Mexican food. When Sarah saw the menu, she decided she didn't want to have Mexican food for dinner. So I guess Mexican food in Wisconsin is a lot different than actual food prepared by Mexicans. We ended up getting a big plate of nachos, and Sarah settled for a churro. Ali wanted none of it. She actually said she had had enough of Epcot, was tired, and wanted to go back to the resort.
As we got our food and were walking to a table to eat. We came across Three Caballeros Donald Duck. It was my goal to have my picture taken with a character, and since there were only about five people in line, I set our food down and I took the girls to go have their picture taken.
I just had the Disney photographer take my picture, since I was trying to be quick and keep the pictures moving so the other little kids could continue having their pictures taken.When we got back to the table with Kris, she remarked that her legs were still really burning. A check of her legs showed that there were now several more red spots all over her legs.
Her other leg looked pretty much the same. So since Alison wanted to go, and Kris's legs were to the point of not being able to walk since the heat of the sun and the heat coming off the pavement just making the burning sensation worse. Sarah wanted to have her picture taken over in the World Showcase in France so we decided to walk over there and then call it a day. We walked through Canada, and England on our way to France. I was hoping to get a little better picture of the girls in front of the "Eiffel Tower", but this was about as good as we could get:
Once Sarah got her picture, we started walking out. We were originally going to go around the World Showcase so we could go through all the countries, but because Alison was so tired and Kris's legs, we took the short way out.
The longest line we waiting in was about 20 minutes, and the crowds were very manageable. Just like the Magic Kingdom, not at all what I was expecting.
