Day 2, Part 1: Another Rainy Epcot Morning
We got to sleep in a bit this morning. Originally our plan was to hit rope drop at Epcot, however the forecast showed the rain stopping around 9, so we decided we’d rather wait for the rain to end before heading out.
We ended up waking up around 7:00 and made some coffee and slowly got ready. Around 8 we headed to the coffee shop in the lobby since for some reason our room only had two coffee pods in it and we wanted more coffee. We then headed back to the room to enjoy the coffee and the chocolate croissants and wait out the rain.
Around 8:30 the rain had stopped, so we headed out. This time we took the shortcut through the courtyard to get to the lobby and down to the boardwalk and it was SO much faster than walking through the halls, it seriously shaved a few minutes off of the walk!
We made our way over to Epcot, and just as we were entering, the rain started again. NOOOOOO. Stupid weather getting it wrong. Fortunately, we brought our umbrellas just in case!
Once in the park I made a DAS for Soarin’, and the return time was in 5 minutes, so we started to head there. On the way we had to get our usual picture of my mom in front of the tea store!
We then continued on to Soarin’! There was a short wait, but soon we were on! This time we were assigned in C3, but the closest seats to B, so not horrible, AND they fixed the Eiffel tower lean, so that was cool to see! I do miss the old ending though with the fountain of nations, I miss that fountain!
By the time we were off of Soarin’ we were into our LL return time for Guardians, so headed that way.
As we got closer we were shocked to see the line for the VQ, it stretched all the way back through the breezeway between Creations and Connections, I’ve never seen it so long! It turns out they had a little snafu this morning and accidentally called all the boarding groups through like 80 all at once, oops! No wonder the line was bonkers!
At least for the LL there was no line and soon we were on!
This time we got Conga for the song. STILL no Disco! I’m starting to think it’s because we always ride this using the LL so are always on the right sides of the preshow rooms, and then are usually some of the first to exit the final preshow room, so maybe just due to the timing of our exiting that final room we’re not aligning with when Disco is played?!? Maybe? Or maybe that song just doesn’t exist.
Next up: More Farts Food!
