Sunday we returned to Epcot in order to do the Futureworld section we hadn’t done the previous Wednesday. We arrived again just as the park was opening and we—and just about everybody else—rushed to the ride called Soarin’ which is a new one to Epcot. This ride simulates a hang glider flight over scenic parts of California and has been brought to Florida from Disney’s California Adventure park. I was a bit nervous about taking this ride but had been reassured by several people that it was gentle and would not cause motion sickness so I went on it. As I was strapped into my seat, however, I had second thoughts but then went on with it and was glad I did. The chairs did rise up and move a bit but most of the sensation of the ride came from watching the 3D pictures on the large screen. It was really fabulous!
After Soarin we went on a boat ride called Living with the Land which took us on an environmental education program about land use and the ways researchers at Disney are working to grow crops more efficiently. Then we went on the Nemo ride again. Jade and Paul went on Test Track--a wild car ride and they and Jarrah went on the Astro orbiter simulator. I was going to do the more gentle form of this ride with Jarrah but opted out at the last minute. I felt bad leaving him but didn't want to ruin the day by getting sick.
We made really good time going on these rides so much so that we were able to return to the World Showcase rides in Mexico and Norway that we hadn’t done. Then we went to the France pavilion and had a delicious lunch at Chef de France.
After lunch we took a boat to the Swan and Dolphin hotels and walked over to the Fantasia Miniature Golf course where we played a fun round of golf.
