When we completed the mission we went back to the toy store because Abi had decided what she wanted to spend her money on.
She wanted a Duffy Bear!
Then we went to the ramp to wait for the boat.
Here comes the Friendship!
Abi and her new friend.
We had a couple of fast passes to use and some rides to go on that we hadn't done yet before we left Epcot.
First up was riding Spaceship Earth again.
You can kind of see the girls there underneath it. They love this ride.
No dancing!
Next we decided we had time to ride Ellen's Universe of Energy. We had never done this ride before and knew it was LONG (45 minutes) so we were excited to see what it was all about.
There might be those that love this ride.
That was not us.
It had a few cool parts but mostly the girls were so bored.
The best thing to come out of the ride were some of the things the girls said,.
For example:
At one point the question is asked, "What is the one source of energy that will never run out?"
Abi's answer?
"Love for your family."
Aww.
Then we saw some Pterodactyls.
Maddy asked what they were.
Abi said, "They have a bird beak and legs and bat wings with just a sprinkling of dinosaur."
After this we went to ride Soarin'.
Doug decided he would stay off with Maddy this time and I would just ride since we had done the opposite the day before.
Even with fast passes we had about a 30 minute wait this time so we occupied ourselves with being silly.
To me, the funniest thing happened on this ride.
A family sat down in the row with us. A bunch of adults and one little kid. Really little. Maybe 3?
This kid was FREAKING out.
Crying. Screaming.
He did not want to go on this ride.
The Cast members looked like they didn't know what to do.
I was thinking, "Take the kid out. Don't make him ride it if he doesn't want to."
I was thinking of the times I have taken Maddy out of line because she got creeped out and I didn't want to ruin the ride for everyone else.
The mom kept saying, "He will be fine."
I thought, "Yeah right."
Then we floated up in the air and toward the screen and the ride started.
He was silent the entire ride!
And afterward was saying Again!
Haha. I thought, "Okay. Mom was right. I am sorry for judging your situation!"
We caught up with Doug and Maddy outside.
And went straight for Figment!
They both liked this ride a lot.
Especially Maddy. She loved it.
And we let them play for a while.
Then Abi needed a bathroom and it took us forever to find one.
We had to run back over to the beginning of Figment and to the side of the building.
By the time we got back over to Doug and Maddy we had missed the start of Captain EO.
It is Doug's thing. He has good memories of that show and wanted to go.
We were going to wait for it but he was worried it would make us rushed to get to dinner.
I told him we could wait and he said, "No, it's okay. Let's just go."
So we made our way out of the park.
We stopped for some nighttime Spaceship Earth pictures.
And we sadly said goodbye to Epcot.
Hopefully it won't be too long until our next trip!
