Took the seven-year-old to the city, yesterday, for a little treat.
Some "kid" in the tram line at Stop 3 told his family that there are no rides at EPCOT. The way they bring in families, apparently is "unique character experiences"
People were returning to their cars to get jackets. 75 degrees is unbearably cold.
Walked on to AP to start. Just two of us at the back of the log. Drenched us. Theming is just not there any more. Still not cold enough to make us wear jackets on August 1. Went to FitH to get another splash.
PK was terrific. OR was great - and smooth (for the time being). TGS was a breeze.
Noticed the tower/water feature at the corkscrew has some new lumber. GM could use some attention, too.
TnT was next along with a look over the fence. Then went to FM. There are spots of orange paint on the ride. One was on one edge of the loading area. Another was in the outdoor part, along the cement wall. Looks like there may be some repairs in the works.
Watched some spinning pottery and blacksmithing.
Walked to GE for a spin on the ES, EM, and WC. Happily the boy can now ride most rides in the park by himself, so he also captained his own boat in the RR.
Returned to OR, where the ride was considerably rougher than earlier, even though we were in the same seat (Warmer weather?). We hadn't eaten, so I was interested in something in the Pathfinder. According to it, they have sample sizes of funnel cakes at "all" funnel cake locations. I stopped at the OR/TGS funnel cake place to ask about price and size. The lady there had no idea what I was talking about and kind of blew us off instead of finding out more for herself. I decided to find another place to eat, and ended up with a Sidewinder: thick potato curls with nacho cheese and bacon for less than $7 (SP discount applied).
Decided to take a hike into Marvel Cave. Vivian was our guide and she did a great job, though she probably talked more than most would have liked.
Left the park and ate at McDonald's in B. West before heading home - $3 Happy Meal, a McChicken, and $1 drink for cheapskates like us.
