After Test Track we headed to The Land building to get fastpasses to Soarin' and ride Living with the Land. It is a nice relaxing boat ride that takes you behind the scenes at Epcot. We were able to see where and how they grow vegetables that they serve up at the restaurants at the Disney resort. Below is a tomato tree - yes, tree that's how they do it at Disney.
Check out these pumpkins. Some are chosen to "earn their ears" and get shaped into Mickey ears. How cool! We enjoyed this ride - very educational and fun. At the end of the ride right before we could get off they had technical difficulties. So, yes, we were once again stuck on a ride. The wait wasn't that long. I told the cast member (what Disney calls their employees) that this was the second ride of the day and both had broken down when we were on it. I told him that we were headed to Soarin' next and he might want to call ahead and warn them that we were coming.
Fortunately, Soarin' worked just fine. It was Christian and Mr. Bobby's first time on it. They both liked it. Nana and Mr. Bobby went to lunch and then back to rest for awhile (Remember I kept everybody at DHS for about 14 hours on Monday. They were a little tired.) Tom, the kids and I checked out "Honey, I Shrunk the Audience" 3-D movie, ImageWorks, Journey into the Imagination with Figment, The Seas with Nemo & Friends, Turtle Talk with Crush and the aquarium at The Seas. We went back to Port Orleans - Riverside to regroup and park hopped to Magic Kingdom for dinner, nighttime parade and fireworks.If you want to check out any of the rides go to YouTube and do a search. How these people can video as they ride, I'll never know.
That sounds like an official educational field trip to me.Count it as a homeschool day!
