Day 5, Part 1 - February 10, 2002: Our Intrepid Travellers Are Back to Full Strength!

We got up a bit later than we have been, around 7:25 AM or so, and decided because we have PS at Le Cellier in Canada at 1:30 PM we will eat a bite at Roaring Fork (RF) before heading to Epcot. I had oatmeal, OJ, fruit and coffee. I wanted a banana but they were a bit on the green side. [img]images/icons/rolleyes.gif[/img] Bob opted for OJ and Frosted Flakes. He is much better today and says he is ready to hit the parks. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

We dropped my mug at our room and grabbed our caps and fanny packs and were off to catch the Crockett bus to the TTC and then the monorail to Epcot. We had some time to kill as Epcot (Futureworld) does not open until 10:00 o'clock. We arrived shortly before the rope drop, so we milled with the masses to the left of Spaceship Earth. When the rope dropped, we headed to Journey Into Imagination and Honey I Shrunk the Audience (HISTA). The preshow at HISTA has one of my favorite things in all of Epcot: "True Colors". The visuals and music and the message get me every time! [img]graemlins/love.gif[/img]

After HISTA, we moved over to The Land, where we went into the Circle of Life. It's amusing and I like the bits of song from "The Lion King." We got a FP for Living With the Land (LWTL) and headed into Food Rocks! Cute. It had been a few years since I had seen this one and, of course, nutrition has been something of a focus in the interim. [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] The FP line for LWTL was very short and we landed the next boat (pardon the expression). There were very big pumpkins in the greenhouse today! We had taken the Behind the Seeds Tour last trip, and if you haven't done so and have the time, I recommend it. You get quite a bit more information than on LWTL and it only takes about an hour or so.

We moved on to the other side of FW to the Wonders of Life and Cranium Command (a perennial favorite), which is a real chuckle-fest and something of a hidden attraction, wouldn't you say? We stopped afterward to view a video on current neurological research (facinating) and then headed out for Canada and lunch (eating again! [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] ). We noticed when we came out of Wonders of Life that there had been a shower.

We ate supper at Le Cellier last trip and thoroughly enjoyed it, especially the Cheddar Cheese Soup. We had deliberately planned lunch there this time because we are interested to see (and taste!) what it is like for this meal. Also, tonight we plan to see the Tapestry of Dreams parade and Illuminations, so we did not want to plan a big meal that we would have to plow through quickly and not give the respect and attention it deserved.
