Our daughter wanted to go on it again because of the part at the end where the computer has your picture pasted in and it shows you your future world based on questions you answer at the beginning of the ride. That was really cool. They also changed many of the settings and Judy Dench is the narrator. It's too bad you missed that ride, and weird that it was closed.<BR/><BR/>another eAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26412800.post-34359845428464892232008-04-15T10:13:00.000-05:002008-04-15T10:13:00.000-05:00Hi e,No didnt get it I had already ordered my meal...Hi e,<BR/>No didnt get it I had already ordered my meal before I saw it and the wife thought it was a step too far to get a 2nd meal just because it was 'Lost' related.

Now that I have traveled to many of the countries they have areas for, I feel like they kind of went the stereotypical route for each place, but I guess that's to be expected. <BR/><BR/>Another e - I didn't go on Mission: Space because I heard how intense it was... I don't like those kind of rides where you're enclosed and it's a simulation. I didn't know about the dolphin thing... that is very cool!<BR/><BR/>I have been to the Holllywood Studios before (when it was named MGM) and did everything there (including Tower of Terror, which I don't think I would do again now because I'm too old!), so I didn't go back there this time. But I did go to Animal Kingdom, so I will post about that soon.<BR/><BR/>AT - I did see the Nemo musical (that's in Animal Kingdom)... will write about that soon... I agree that it was very good. I forgot about the Soarin' scents! They were so subtle I wasn't sure if my mind was playing tricks on me.<BR/><BR/>Lula - It DID make me think of Miles...<BR/><BR/>Anonymous - That crazy song is the only reason I went on that ride again, and they did change it! The "Imaaaaaaginaaa-tion!" part is only for like 10 seconds at the very end. That one guy that had a hat and beard who was always with Figment isn't even in it anymore. I was disappointed.<BR/><BR/>Glen - Hmmm, it's weird, the ride was closed a month ago when my good friend went, too... I wonder if something is wrong with it now? I definitely would've gone on it had it been opened and now am disappointed that I didn't get to see the enhancements... I doubt I will go back to EPCOT again, maybe ever! I didn't go to the Studios but heard about the Lost meal... too funny.

Its very funny, but they must do the cut and paste very quick because half of my head was missing!!!!<BR/>Did you get the "Lost" meal in Disney Studios?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26412800.post-41895040365613853292008-04-15T02:27:00.000-05:002008-04-15T02:27:00.000-05:00Did you leave singing "Imaaaaa-gin-a-tion, imaaaaa...Did you leave singing "Imaaaaa-gin-a-tion, imaaaaa-gin-a-tion..."?

Your photos of Epcot are practically the exact same as the ones from our trip last week, down to the pose in the mouth of the Nemo shark!<BR/><BR/>The best thing I did at Epcot was the swim with the dolphins program. It has always been a dream of mine to do this, and it did not disappoint. The park, itself, however was pretty much a yawner except for the "Mission to Space" ride--did you go on it?--and "Soarin."<BR/><BR/>We actually thought some of the best rides were at "Animal Kingdom"--the new "Expedition to Everest" was awesome (kind of like the Mattehorn on steroids) and "Disney-Hollywood Studios"--we loved the "Hollywood Tower of Terror" and the new stunt show, and getting a chance to learn now to sketch some of the Disney characters in an animation class.<BR/><BR/>another eAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26412800.post-60226666991859490452008-04-14T14:43:00.000-05:002008-04-14T14:43:00.000-05:00Have to say, I agree with your husband.
