Day 5, part 2... Magical Ball, SUSHI and fireworks

Here we are, on our way back to Epcot. The lights at during the holiday season and incredible.





So as soon as we get in, Ty sees Spaceship Earth or as he called it... The Magical Ball. I kinda prefer that :)

So Ty really wants to ride this, so I take him on it. ::Spoiler:: ahead if you don't want to know the changes that were made to the ride. :)
The first half is the same and they take your picture. Right away I though, oh here we go, they want to sell us a picture of us on the ride. So we see all of the history of communication and technology. From cavemen, to computers... it takes you through. Super cute what comes next. These little touch computers come on and asks you all these questions. They then had this little show that included you, and it placed your head on cartoon bodies... The story is about your future and the environment... etc. But Ty and I had a good laugh at ourselves.




So we get off the ride and Ty wants to ride again (there was NO line) we found Tim and let him know... we get on the ride and Ty hits the language button, picks German... so the WHOLE long ride, I have to hear it in German. NO clue. So I text Tim and he thinks its hysterical. There is no way to change it. So we answered the questions the best way we could. haha
LOVELY

We survived the ride and found Tim. We were getting a little hungry and headed over to the new sushi restaurant in Japan. It was called Teppan Edo. It had a very upscale contemporary feel to it. There was a huge TV on one side that was showing pictures of Japan, and a section where the Japanese women were making sushi. I thought it was interesting that it was all women making the sushi.

See the large TV


I got some miso soup and tea, Tim got a beer of course :)
Since I am super adventurous, I got the California roll :) and Tim got Eel.
Ty got some rice. More on that in a bit :)

Here is my california roll

So we are enjoying our food, when a piece of rice gets Ty's gag reflex (remember, this place is kinda fancy, even for Disney) and starts to throw up. Luckily the server was sweet and we didn't make a gigantic scene. We got cleaned up, paid the bill and left... It was interesting ;)
After that adventure, we head out to find a place near the exit to watch the Illuminations. This one is kinda boring for me. The have this lull, where I know its a meaningful song, but I was over it. haha We just wanted Ty to see the fireworks.

Lots of fire, and it was pretty cool how they did it!

Tyler is super excited


This is a genuine reaction with Tyler. I think I watch his face more than the fireworks. Its a more meaningful show for me.

We inched closer and closer to the exit, while still watching the fireworks to beat the crowd.
Here is a little self family portrait...

When we got back to the resort, we decide to walk over to All Star Movies. This resort seemed a lot bigger and more interesting than All Star Music, which we loved, but this was super cute. All the Disney movie characters. The Toy Story one was just adorable and larger than life.

To give you an idea, look at Ty barely coming up to the top of Buzz's foot.



Here is Tim wishing he could be just like Woody :)


Here is Ty rocking out with his own little Mickey light saber.


We were exhausted, so we decided to head back and get some rest...and thats exactly what we did.

Up next... Downtown Disney, and Dinner at Boma...
