Not content with just going to two continents in one day, we head around the world on a Segway! We get to the park before it opens, and grt some fabulous shots. Look - no people!
Deb gets us in trouble trying to get early fastpasses for test track, and we are promptly escorted to guest services to wait for our segway tour. This is one of the tours available at Disney. We love their tours. The guides are knowledgable, and fun. We start out by training indoors. It feels a bit weird to start with, but we both get the hang of it rather quickly. Getting on and off and standing on them are the hardest. Moving and turning is quite easy and fun.After training, we're ready for the world showcase! We practice our waving first, so we'll be ready to be in our own mini parade. Unfortunately, we can't take pictures while we're riding, so you'll have to settle for one while we're standing still. Don't we look great waving?
We're also color coordinated today. Completely an accident. We actually do this quite a bit at home, too. It's weird, because we get dressed in different parts of the house and Paul picks out clothes before deb even has her eyes open.Any who...
We find out that we're really good on the segways, so we get to do all of the obstacle training, and at the end, we get a special Segway pin. You can only get this pin by taking the tour or trading with Paul. Deb isn't giving hers up for anything! (well, Paul probably isn't, either!)
We spend the rest of the day doing new things in epcot, and once again, trying to stay cool. At one point, deb agreed to go to the Universe of Energy movie just because it was 45minutes inside an air conditioned building. Paul wanted to see the dinosaurs. Deb wanted to sit down and be cool. Amazingly, it was really cool. They actually moved an entire theater of seats around a building, and we were both impressed by the show.
Dinner is at O'hana tonight, near the Magic Kingdom. We got there early because of the heat, and wandered around the resort. Deb had done her research, and she also knew where to find the self-serve dole whips! It was nice to cool down and relax for a bit. In the lobby, we find a hidden Mickey! We're standing on it!
Dinner was crazy! We were bombarded with food. Food is served family style, as much as you want. As usual, Paul ordered more vegetables. He was very happy to have his own bowl of broccoli. The food was interesting, and we had great seats by the window. It was all yummy, but we aren't used to such bounty. At desert, we got a cute anniversary cupcake, and yummy bread pudding with ice cream.
After dinner, we head to the magic kingdom for a little shopping, and then back to our room before the parades start.- Posted using BlogPress from my iPad
