We started off by riding some rides. The first was the General Motors Test Track. It's the fastest ride in the whole Disney Park system. It reaches 66 mph. You start indoors and run through some test systems. Then you test for speed and they send you outside around a banked oval. Wooohooo! Once you're through with the ride you have to pass through a showroom with all the new GM cars. Sarah has always been partial to the Hummer. She was soooo happy to sit in the drivers seat.
You can't see the whole car but this is the new Saturn Sky. But you can see the smile on her face.
The lines were kinda long that day and the kids were getting kinda goofy while waiting. We don't have any pictures from one the more popular rides from that morning/afternoon. It was the Mission To Mars. You can't take pictures because the ride is indoors and you're squeezed into a very tiny space. It is a centrifugal ride and your only reference is a small screen right in front of your face. You get the sensation of really blasting off from Cape Canaveral and slingshotting around the moon and landing on Mars. It was quite a good ride and passed the "Sarah's willing to do it again" test.
That night we ate a French restaurant. Boy was that good food. The waitress must have thought we were goofy tourists. We kept laughing and joking the whole time we were there. Alas, we took no pictures. But I put some of Sarah and Amanda in the Canada portion of the park.
After the fireworks we walked back under the giant sphere and down to the monorail and back to the hotel.
A nice couple took our picture as we waited for the monorail. This was the earliest we'd headed home this whole trip. Home by 10pm.
