disney (day 2)

on day two, friday, we got up and headed to epcot.  first we had to pick up our tickets.  there was one line for will call and one for people taking advantage of the free admission on your birthday.  i was amazed at how many birthdays there were!  people are really diggin' that!  anyway, we waited in line and felt sorry for this leash kid that was in front of us.  he was a smart one though.  he kept twisting so that the leash would get shorter, and harder for his mom to hold on to.  i kept seeing visions of mike myers tied to the jungle gym.  

anyway, we finally got inside...

we rode the mission to mars and i think i'm still dizzy from that.  we rode the test track, which we were looking forward to on recommendation from my dad. sadly, i didn't get any pictures, but it was awesome.  i could see why dad liked it so much and could almost hear him talking about all the car parts while we were waiting in line.  i also saw some similarities in the decor of his garage and the theme of the ride.  (i know this doesn't make much sense, but trust me) jon found his next car....

we rode the log ride and played vikings in norway...

and visited the motherland.  (germany)

next we were rounding the lake, and we both heard a "kerplunk".  i looked at jon and said "what was that!?"  that's right, he totally got crapped on by a seagull!  good thing he was wearing his hat!

by this time it was 2:00 and time for jon's pasta dinner with tnt.  we waited outside these giant wooden doors, and then they opened and it sounded like there were 5,000 adoring fans inside.  jon went in with the other team members, and i was off to china to get some lunch myself.

then i made jon ride the figment ride with me.  he was my favorite as a child.  the ride was not as cool as i remembered, but from the looks of this pic, i was certainly not disappointed...

then we rode the super lame ride in the ball, and they made an awesome video of us...

next we left epcot and headed to disney hollywood studios.  we rode the tower of terror (i almost refused, but there were 5 year olds getting on in front of us, so i figured i'd be okay, but then i kept kicking the poor man next to me the whole time!  i couldn't help it, for some reason, that seems to be my reaction to falling.) and the aerosmith roller coaster and learned more about how we have a bigger personal space than most.  and then, we went to the star wars ride!  jon was so excited to see darth.  (he'll play it cool, but i could see the kid in his eyes & i loved it!)

that pretty much did it for day 2.  it was a good one.
