Cough, cough! That puny thing? Ah, ummm, I need the real thing. That's like offering decaffeinated coffee to a heavy duty coffee drinker like me.hypatia said:

He did get me on it, but I didn't scream (Zz did though...there was an adorable 5 year old in line who wasn't afraid though, and was willing to hold his hand if he needed it...everyone say "awwwww" together now)...I was laughing WAAAAAYYY too hard to scream.Evo said:
It's a great ride! It wasn't at all what I was expecting. I was expecting one of those gut wrenching long free-falls, but it wasn't too bad...except when they open the doors so you can see out (I think you're supposed to see how far up you are at that point) and I was nearly blinded by the sun. It just catches you entirely by surprise as to when you're going to drop and how far, which for some reason made me laugh, and then I couldn't stop laughing through the remainder of the ride. Well, for the most part, he's been leading the way since he knows all the shortcuts to get to everything, so I've just been keeping his pace to get to things.When I went on the one out here I decided that it would probably have been better if I had gone on it while it was dark. With the sun up it doesn't really fit what the atmosphere is supposed to be like.Moonie said:
I agree, especially when you can't see anything when suddenly blinded by bright light anyway. Though, that seems to serve the secondary purpose of providing enough light to take your photo on the ride. When we got off the ride and they had the photos up on the monitors, I had my hand in front of my face trying to shield my eyes from the sun (and of course Zz and Chuck, being the big hams they are and already knowing when the photos are taken, were sitting there waving to the camera in the photoTheStatutoryApe said:
).
Even Zz's great photos can't fully do it justice! Oh, and they even had fake snow blowing in from the rooftops to complete the scene. It really is a shame you couldn't join us Evo. You'd have loved it (of course we'd probably be banned from the resort by now for eating the chocolate carousel, but that would be worth it, don't you think?)Evo said:Wow, that's a LOT of lights. :!)
I'm missing out on so much.
They would have to prove we ate it first.Moonbear said:

Zz.
That pretty much summed it up for me. I was going for the park, Zz was going for the lights, but once they turned the lights on, and I turned that corner and saw the "streets" lit up with them, I was like a little kid just standing in awe.GeorginaS said:
Well, so far I haven't done much lounging. Since my resort is a hop, skip and a jump from Epcot (it takes me longer to walk out of the hotel than it does to get to Epcot...this resort is HUGE!), I wandered over there this morning. It started out too cool to sit out by the pool, so I thought I'd take a leisurely stroll around Epcot. I had some fun with pin trading...it's actually a great thing when doing the solo walk around the park...it gave me an excuse to stop and talk with people on my way (yeah, I know, as if I need an excuse to talk). I did some damage to my credit card too...the German area had a shop with Christmas ornaments...the IngeGlas ones that I collect (that's my real collecting addiction...there was a little shop in Covington, KY (just across the river from Cincinnati) just packed with German Christmas ornaments, and I discovered the IngeGlas ones there. Well, now that I've moved, I can only get them by online mail order, but that's tough when you can't just look at the ornaments in person and decide which ones you really like to look at, so I couldn't resist when I walked into that shop and saw them today. Those are being shipped home...I'm not taking any chances trying to get those into my luggage safely, they're far too fragile.
I already scoped it out, and as expected, most of the kids are off to parks with their parents, so the huge pool is quite quiet and nearly empty. Perfect!AGAIN! Jeezy Kreezy!ZapperZ said:

Yeah, I would have to agree! Ooooh! Aaaaah! Pretty!Evo said:
