Tue. 9/11/07 ~ Our Last Night at Walt Disney World

We stayed home until about noon and then caught the shuttle bus over to Epcot to finish the attractions we missed. We rode the Test Track again and then went on Soarin’ Over California. We were planning to wait in the line but a young couple gave us their Fast Passes so we got right in. We spent the rest of the afternoon visiting the World Showcase pavilions. We had dinner reservations at the Marrakesh Restaurant for Moroccan food. There was a small group playing music (if you can call it that) and a belly dancer. The food was pretty good other than the couscous which had no real flavor other than what you ate with it. We staked out a spot to watch the Illuminations Fireworks show and got a little rain while we were waiting but certainly nothing compared to yesterday. Tonight is our last night at Walt Disney World and tomorrow we head north toward St. Augustine.

Overall impressions of Walt Disney World and Florida – We had a good time at all the parks but we both liked Epcot and Animal Kingdom a lot and for both of us Disney-MGM Studios was our least favorite. The dining package is definitely the best way to go. There are so many restaurants to choose from with so much variety and great food. We ate great the whole time we were there. There is a lot to see and do in Florida but their weather in the summer is awful! It was HOT and MUGGY everyday and we got rain every afternoon ranging from very light rain lasting only a few minutes to pouring rain with thunder and lightening. I am definitely ready for more fall like weather.
