Day 5
Remember me telling you about
how I hurt my right calf muscle? Well
about 4 am or so, I am stretching my legs in bed when
my left calf muscle locks up very painfully.
So now I will be limping on my left leg, and I cant
favor my right one. L
I left my room at
I eat the usual breakfast
buffet type food. The characters come
over and just say hi. I have apple
juice, refillable this time J
After breakfast at
Want to feel poor? See how
they use real towels at the Yacht club’s bathrooms J
The fountains by
I head to the American
Adventure at Epcot’s World Showcase. I am there early enough to see the first
show. So far it’s just me with 3 minutes
to go before the
After American Adventure, I
head towards Maelstrom, passing the train set by
then
I have about an hour before eating
again, lunch at Le Cellier.
I ordered the soup, but
forgot to mention the size, so they brought me a bowl, when I really wanted a
cup, so I just had a 1/3 of it.
The new type breads
Steak was good, finished that, left a little of the potatoes over,
ate only 1/2 of the whisky cake.
Yes, the part where it says
Le Cellier Steakhouse is edible too J
If you looked at the photos,
they don't give you the same breads as before.
I did some shopping in Mousegears and having it sent
to my room. I got my backpack :)
For this trip, I got a new
toy, a video camera inside a real pen.
So I decide to try recording some rides using this. I place the pen clipped to my shirt. Two problems, #1, the video tends to point
up, and #2 the sound is kind of muffled.
I did test track next, the single rider line which was faster then the fast
pass line.
Probably do mission space next.
When I said I wanted to do
the green, less intense version , the cm goes awwww :)
After that I walk by the former
Wonders of Life building. Sad to still
see it closed
I did Ellen energy adventure at universe of energy next. Here are some
highlights I took with the video pen. I know.. some of the sound it overwhelming the recording, and some of
the time, the camera wasn’t pointing in the right direction. But most of the soundtrack should be ok
enough to remember the attraction.
Then I went on Spaceship
earth, Here is a video I shot with my standard def camcorder of the section of
the ride where you chose your post ride video.
And here is the finished
product, I downloaded from the website. Isnt nice how my hat comes out here J
then Soarin, recorded with the pen camera. Again, not pointed in a good direction and
the sound isn’t good L
Here is a video of me leaving
the very long Soarin queue
And here I am leaving The
Land to head to next door Imagination Pavilion.
Here me kindly ask some people to move while
heading downhill. Not as impressive as Garbo speaking, but its me J
Now at this point, I think I
forgot that the pen camera is still recording because you can see my hi def camcorder recording Journey Into Imagination with
Figment attraction.
Tired of the poor sound
quality? J here is the hi def video that you just watched
me take, so I guess you can call that video a documentary of Journey into your
Imagination with Figment video you will watch below J.
I did Captain EO next. I was
in the back row for wheelchairs and such. Don't remember the theater shaking as
much last year in a normal seat.
It's raining. Not sure what to next. Dining at Coral Reef at 7
I checked in early, about
They sit me (solo) at one of the large tables for 4 or more. They had tables
for two, no big deal.
Now one of the items I get here is the Surf and Turf appetizer, two pieces of
steak, two pieces of shrimp, 16 dollars. But its not
on the menu any more. I ask the server about it, said they haven't had it for 5
years, I am pretty sure I had it last year, 100% sure I had it multiple times
in the last 5 years. Not going to make a issue about
it.
They had fried, batter shrimp to dip in 1000 island dressing.$12
The family next to me are trying to take flash photos of the aquarium ,and
wondering why it isn't coming out. And the flash is also annoying. So I start
to use my camera with the flash to annoy them back :)
This is so far my most expensive meal to date, but have Whispering Canyon and
Le Cellier (dinner) to top it.
I find the wheelchair party only area to watch Illuminations. I have about 50 minutes wait for it to start.
Its starting to rain very lightly or sprinkle going
on, so maybe go with my waterproof camcorder.
The rain holds off, so I use
my #1 hidef camcorder. I just love to watch the
inferno barge doing its Godzilla impression J
After Illuminations, I head
back to the bus station and resort.
Once back at the resort I
decide to go for a swim, but it was cold L so after going into the pool, I ran back to my room
to take a hot shower, didn't even bother to take off the suit J
