Today we were off to Epcot to focus on Future World. This picture is not Future World. Yes, we were back in China because the store really is that amazing! We went to check it out and find out more about that wine. We actually learned you can buy it by the bottle here! You buy it here then they have you pick it up at the front of the park when you leave. Needless to say, I have a taste of Disney in my fridge now.
We headed back to future world and The Land pavilion and grabbed some lunch at Sunshine Seasons. Spicy Fish Tacos and a small serving of potato salad for Mom. Feav had… wait, I have no idea because he was engulfing his and we had no pictures! Guys and their food can not be bothered by pictures.
It was tough to resist Disney cheesecake long enough to get a picture but I did. I told you guys I was a cheesecake fiend. Lunch was fantastic and we were right beside Mom’s Fast Pass for Soarin’. Feav and I hung out in The Land pavilion while we waited. There’s a few attractions here but Soarin’ was the only thing on our To Do list.
After Soarin’ we headed out to a cold but beautiful and barren Future World. How do people not love Disney? I’ll never understand. Since it was pretty much an empty park, there were no lines for things like…
photos with Mickey! Absolutely no line! Can you believe that? It wasn’t freezing out, just chilly, yet people abandoned Epcot. Maybe it was because it was marathon weekend and everyone was getting ready for the morning race? Whatever the reason, thank you tourists!
We headed over to the Seas and Mom got her picture made with her favorite birds. “Mine! Mine! Mine!” We skipped the Finding Nemo ride and went straight for my second favorite spot.
The Seas pavilion has this amazing walk though aquarium. The window are from the ceiling to floor so I can roll all the way up and see everything. There’s tons of fish, rays, shark, ect.
Sometimes you’ll even catch someone scuba diving. There were actually quite a few divers in the tank. I’m not sure if they were Cast Members or doing one of Disney’s special programs but either way people loved them.
There’s also various small tanks with lots of info about what’s inside. We didn’t have time to find Nemo though! We had a Fast Pass to Turtle Talk With Crush. It is kind of like Monsters, Inc Laugh Floor but aimed 100% at kids. Crush asks and answers questions from kids in the audience. It always amazes me how Disney pulls it off! After Crush it was time for our late dinner reservation.
Feav doing a little water tasting at The Coral Reef. I loved that every drink was in a fancy glass. It took us awhile to get our table. There was a LARGE non-english speaking family ahead of us that was having all kinds of problems with the language barrier. “How many children do you have eating?” “7” “6” “8” I really wished I understood them and could translate.
We had never been to the Coral Reef but I had passed through here once during my wish trip and was mesmerized by the big fish tanks. I thought it would be the coolest place to eat. In reality it’s a little sad when you realize you’re having seafood while fish watch. Luckily we were far away from the fishies!
Feav had baked cheese manicotti with lobster tail. He wasn’t that impressed. It wasn’t bad but wasn’t that great. There wasn’t much lobster and it wasn’t that filling.
Mom had seared rainbow trout. She loved it.
Desert was unique but again just ok. Mom had the turtle cheesecake which was actually a drawing of a turtle! There was a puddle of white chocolate for the head and cocoa sprinkled for it’s legs. It was cute! Feav had a chocolate wave. They were good just not $10 good. We were on the dining plan so we luckily weren’t paying out of pocket.
After dinner, the parks were closing so we headed home sweet home. Tomorrow was Magic Kingdom and we had a lot of catching up to do there!
