Favorite EPCOT Ride

Today's Disney Park Challenge topic is favorite EPCOT Ride. I'm going to have to pick two rides, though.

Normally, I'd say Test Track is my favorite ride at EPCOT. However, it's been totally refurbished since my last trip to the World and it's pretty much a different ride now. So, I'm not sure if I really do like it that much anymore.

I loved original Test Track, though. Yes, it was cheesy but so fun! My favorite bit was at the end when you do 60 mph on the track outside the building.  I'm pretty sure that part hasn't changed, so I'll probably still like that part of Test Track.

My other favorite EPCOT ride is Living with the Land. I just love that it's old school and classic EPCOT. I like floating through the greenhouse and seeing all the experimental ways to grow things.

Week in Review

This year is absolutely flying by! I can't believe it's going to be November already this week.

Last week was time for our much anticipated trip to Minnesota. School was still in session for Monday and Tuesday, but since those were also parent teacher conferences those days, I didn't get called to work.

Instead, I stressed out about packing and getting things done before we left. Why is getting ready for a vacation always stressful? Added to the fun was a cold I've been fighting all week.

We spent Wednesday through Sunday out of town and had a good time with friends. I'll post more details about our trip later this week.

How was your week?

 

Sunday Social - Halloween

What was your favorite Halloween costume as a kid?

I don't have any pictures because they are all at my mom's house, but I had a lot of great costumes growing up. I never had a store bought costume, so the idea that people just buy a costume is weird to me.

I think my favorite costume what when I was a princess. My mom made me a pink dress and I got to wear a sparkly tiara.

If you could go back and dress up as something what would it be?

I think I always had the costume I wanted, so I can't think of anything I wanted to be, but didn't get to do.

Favorite costume as an adult?(pictures)

I've really only done 2 costumes as an adult...

Whenever I dressed up for Halloween at work, I did the poodle skirt, so it's my favorite. It's fun to twirl in and everybody always thinks it's great. Can you believe I've had that skirt since the 6th grade? Thank God for elastic waists because I did not have these hips back then!

My other adult costume was to dress in all black with some fancy dark eye makeup and be a glamorous cat burglar. (I think I was channeling Lady Christina de Souza from the Doctor Who special, Planet of the Dead.)

Favorite Halloween Candy?

I've been eating a lot of Carmel Apple Pops since they put the candy out in stores. But, my favorite chocolate candy to get is Kit Kats.

Favorite Halloween Memory?

Probably the first time I was allowed to go Trick or Treating with my friends and not have an adult with us. Independence!

What's your favorite scary movie?

 I don't do scary movies. My favorite Halloween movie is Hocus Pocus.

 

Favorite Disney's Hollywood Studios Ride

Confession: I don't really like Hollywood Studios.

I know.

I've actually only been there twice. Once, back when it was still MGM and brand new and the second time was on our honeymoon. I wanted to give it another try and see if it was worth it, but we pretty much did a few things we wanted to do and then left to hang out at the resort pool.

However, I do still have a favorite ride at DHS. In fact, I like it so much, it's pretty much the only reason I would go back to DHS on another trip.

Midway Mania! We got to the park just after opening, stood in line to get Fastpasses and then basically wasted time until our Fastpass time by riding some other rides.

When we finally rode it, I had so much fun that I wished we had stood in line even if it was ridiculously long. Hopefully next time we're at Disney World, we can ride it more than once.
