Did you know that Epcot is still a thing? I'm convinced that it only still exists because of 1) corporate sponsorship and 2) that sweet golf ball. Anyway, we went.
The first thing we did was a ride where you got to 'design' your own car and then test drive it. Tyler did a pretty good job designing the car with a little help from dad. He made a big truck with a jet engine and huge wheels. Also there were flames on the side. And it was green. Then we got to go through a coaster. Tyler was pretty into the coaster, especially when it went outside and went all fast. Then he got a score for his car, and we went into the 'check out these cars' area, brought to you by Dodge. Which was actually pretty cool, because one of Tyler's favorite things to do is to just sit in the drivers seat of a car.
We went on Mission: Space next. It's in a centrifuge! It was pretty intense, actually. I clenched my legs, just in case. Then you had to push some buttons or else...well, or else the computer did it for you. I was curious what would happen if everyone on your 'team' deliberately tried to fail everything. We probably would have still made it to Mars.
While Jess went on the ride, Tyler and I sat around and ate goldfish. We took turns.
We went to 'The Seas" next. There's a Nemo ride, and then an aquarium! I liked the critters to see. Eels, lionfish, cuttlefish, even a dolphin. I had good fun. I liked the part where they tried to make Sharks less scary. Cause they are just fish, after all.
We stopped for lunch and had to put up with a tantrum, but after that we got to go on Soarin', which is the dumbest name for a ride ever. Kinda fun, though. It's like Imax with a big moving chair. Then a boat ride through their experimental greenhouse. I hope some of their experiments work, because they look pretty neat. Also, Tilapia! Yum.
A few other rides. Went through the imagination station where they actually used the phrase "next stop: imagination". We decided to skip Captain EO, too weird even for us. We saw some other stuff, and then decided to call it early. Epcot is pretty strange.
We went to a Rainforest cafe with the family. We had to do walk along Downtown Disney, which we had to do slowly, cause of grandparents, but I had Casey on my chest, and she was very cute, and was holding on to my fingers a lot. We walked through the shops for a while, and then had some food at the Cafe. Tyler was clearly concerned by the animatronic monkeys, but after a few storms he settled down. He needed me to cover his ears for the first rainstorm, though.
I checked out the art store on the way out, which was pretty neat, but certainly too expensive, and then we went home and fell asleep.
