We were up at 6:30 again to get access into the park 1 hour early for resort customers. The bus to Epcot was a little longer than the one to Animal Kingdom, but still only about a 10 minute drive.
Our first ride was Sourin…this was requested by mom and dad as this is their favourite ride. Turns out it is also Doug’s favourite ride. It is exactly the same as the one at Disneyland though, so we only did it once.
When we were done that ride, then it was off to Test Track…we heard great things about this ride, so we figured we would get a fast pass to this ride. Our return time was for 9:30 so we had about half an hour to kill.
Off we went to Mission: Space…anyone who has heard our story about this ride from 2010 knows we were a little apprehensive about doing it again, but we decided to join the Green Team (easy ride) which only involved a simulator and NO SPINNING. It still was a small enclosed space though and I had a little bit of a problem with that, but still it was a fun ride considering the last time we both got fairly ill from it.
Off we go to Test Drive now…what a great ride. You hit speeds of 61mph on the car which is a blast. My dad really enjoyed this one. My mom didn’t do this ride or the Mission: Space ride.
Then we went to see “Ellen’s Energy Advenure” which is a ride that goes back to the dinosaur era. I love the irony that Ellen DeGeneres is doing a ride for Disney…she did a great job and all 4 of us did this ride. I think this one is the longest ride…about 45 minutes.
Now it was time to head to the World Showcase where all the various country Pavillions are. First stop was the Canada Pavillion because here is where Disney was doing their “winter wonderland” special (only for this week). 
They had Donald Duck all decked out in winter clothes, but we didn’t want to stand in line waiting for a picture, so when they took a break, we used the stage for some of our own pictures. We even stayed for the show that Martin Short hosts about Canada. It was actually very well done.
We were all getting hungry so off we headed to Morocco where they have a great little cafe with awesome food. We didn’t stay for any shows though as we wanted to check out Mexico and Norway for their rides.
There are boats that cross the water to get you from one side to the other instead of walking around. We were starting to get tired, but we still had a bit to go yet.
Off to Mexico first…a cute little musical boat tour staring Donald Duck. We got to see a live band just outside the country which was nice. My dad loves live music, so I will take all the credit for timing things the way I did.
Next stop is Norway (next door to Mexico) and onto a Viking boat voyage. By this time we were just about done…all our feet hurt, but we still wanted to do a bit of shopping and do the monorail. We wanted to show my parents where we stayed last time. So off we went to pick up a few items at the store, take one of our many pee breaks and then headed to the monorail.
We took the monorail twice and then the boat ride across to Magic Kingdom where the buses where to take us back to our resort. At this point we parted ways.
I had a hopper pass which meant I could do another park in the same day, so I sent them on their way and decided to go to Space Mountain…my favourite ride. 
I grabbed a fast pass and proceeded to do the ride twice before my fast pass time came up. So all together me and the mouse did Space Mountain 3 times before we called it a day and headed back to the resort. I got home just in time to help Doug finish dinner…mac and cheese with all beef hot dogs…yup we eat in style.
I had a great day and it was awesome for me to be able to even head to Magic Kingdom…home of Mickey Mouse.
