Exhausted Travel

Not intending to dwell on the Disney trip constantly, it's just fresh on my mind, one particular day in Disney this past January would definitely qualify for a trip that ended in utter exhaustion.  On our third full day in Disney, my fiancee and I went to EPCOT.  Now, I knew a lot about EPCOT from popular culture, but I had never been; he had been 3 three times, so he knew the ropes.  I assumed it would be as happy and fun as Magic Kingdom with characters hugging you and a wonderful glowing castle that turned colors at night.  Nope.  We got there early-ish; certainly by 9:30 or 10 in the morning.  And it was immediately clear to me that it was not as happy and care-free as Magic Kingdom; it actually reminded me a lot of Six Flags- lots of concrete everywhere.  We went over to Futureworld to hit up some of the big attractions and our first stop was the Ellen DeGenerous Ride. Random.  It was relaxing, though 30 minutes long.  However, HUGE screens that project images that makes it feel like you are moving make me incredibly dizzy and nauseous, and I didn't know that prior to this trip.  And this ride had tons.  So after feel slightly dizzy and just overall meh, we decided to go on Mission Space.  REALLY bad idea.  I was already not feeling too happy, and we went on the low level of the ride.  Inside, I was MISERABLE and nauseous and dizzy and very very nonplussed.  After Mission Space we walked out, got me a drink and sat down for a while.  That's when we noticed every single kid in teh world sobbing, yelling, pitching fits, being awful. And that's when I lost it.  I was done. Finished. NO MORE. So we went back to the hotel.  I took a shower and a nap and checked out of the world for a few hours.  I felt loads better afterwards, but I was SO unhappy during that morning. I learned not to go on ANY rides like that ever again, and I learned that bad parenting is a horrible disease that many families in Disney have, and I learned that next time I go to EPCOT I am skipping those two rides and drinking a LOT of coffee.
