May 11 - Disney World : Blizzard Beach & EPCOT

On May 11, we spent the morning at the Blizzard Beach water park where we went down a huge water slide. It was something like 300 feet straight down at 55 mph! Talk about an atomic wedgie! Anyway, after that we went to EPCOT. We loved "TEST TRACK" where you are in a car going through an obsticle course type deal reaching up to 60mph. We also loves "SOARIN" where you are suspended in a seat watching an IMAX screen and basically feel like you are flying through the air in all different parts of the world. I was a big fan of "LIVING WITH THE LAND" where you ride a boat through experimental labs that Disney scientists are using to work on bettering our environment. I was amazed by the 9 pound lemon and it was interesting to see watermelons growing on trees and plants growing without soil or water! The Nemo exhibit was cool too with the thousands of fish in the tanks. The flower and garden show was going as well and there were topiaries made to look like disney characters. The countries were great as always - Dennis had German Beer and I had a french pastry. We had sushi in Japan and tried on hats in Moroco. We had dinner in "Mexico" and stayed at EPCOT until midnight thanks to the extra magic hours we had for staying at a Disney Resort.
