None of us really knew what to expect. We were there by 8am so got to see the early entertainment while we were waiting to go on. Three of the chefs from the park using upturned rubbish bins to play the drums. They were really good.
As soon as the ropes dropped we went straight to Test Track where you can design your own car and then have a go racing it - it was really cool. So we did it again!!
Then we headed over to Future World West to do the Soarin' ride. It was a bit like the Fly Over Canada but around the globe- it was pretty good. We watched the Circle of Life film and the Disney & Pixar Short Film festival shows and then started our trip around the world.
We went to Mexico where we did a short boat cruise around the country and then Norway (didn't wait 50 minutes for the Frozen ride!), watched a movie in China before heading to Germany, Italy and the American Adventure. From there to Japan, Morocco, France (where we watched a lovely short film), the U.K. and then Canada. In Canada we watched another film presented by Martin Short which was really funny but also great as it showed lots of places we had been and the kids were pointing them out.
Stopped for a bite to eat and then continued around the world. We did the NASA style space launch which was probably not a great idea straight after lunch! We watched the Nemo film and sailed through the greenhouses - it was actually quite interesting. There was a huge aquarium which had lots of fish but they also had a big tank that housed two manatees. They were having a great time rolling around in the water, they are huge but so graceful. I would love to do the swimming tour with them.
We did spaceship Earth and explored the wonderful world of Colortopia at Innoventions. We caught the boat across the lake and watched the Great American Adventure and then started the trip back around to get our seats for the fireworks and show. Josh had duck for dinner from China, Caitlin had Greek and I had Thai - was all really yummy.
Found our spots for the show - Illuminations. It was a combination of water, music and lights and a pretty awesome fireworks display. Another big day! We received an email today telling us that our cruise has been cancelled due to the hurricane! Devastated! Up til all hours trying to find an alternative!
