After getting lunch, we headed off to the France pavilion to take a turn on Remy's Ratatouille Adventure, our first since it transitioned from a 3-D ride to a 2-D ride. I can't say that I thought it made a huge difference to my enjoyment of the ride one way or another, but it certainly made it easier to take photos of some of the scenes! We caught a break on the wait time too, which made it even more worthwhile!

With one ride under our belt, we decided to hit up a second ride, heading from the World Showcase to the World Celebration to take a spin on Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, my all-time favorite roller coaster! Thankfully the wait wasn't too long, and the people in the pre-show rooms weren't too crazy. As we got closer, I was hoping we would get any song but Conga, and to my surprise we got... not Conga! We ended up with Disco Inferno as our soundtrack for today's ride. Did I mention that I love this ride? And, also, cake-toast!

We debated taking a speedy drive on Test Track, but the line increased pretty drastically while we were on Guardians, so we instead opted to head from one side of the World Celebration to the other, this time to stop at the CommuniCore Hall for some of the International Festival of the Holidays cookie offerings from the Experimental Prototype Cookies of Tomorrow kitchen. Well, I guess all of the offerings from this particular spot! We sampled the new Prototype Cookie (a sugar cookie with orange-cranberry icing and dark chocolate), the new Ginger-Molasses Cookie (with cream cheese icing), as well as the returning Salted Caramel Spaceship Earth Cookie, which is pretty self explanatory. I also got the Gingerbread Milk Shake to try. I will say that I would absolutely not get the Prototype Cookie again. I really found nothing redeeming about it. I liked both of the other cookies as well as the shake, and would order all of them again!

Since we were close, we headed over to World Nature to take a casual ride on The Seas with Nemo & Friends. This is a ride we don't go on often, but it is a nice way to get out of the sun or escape the heat from time to time (neither of which was an issue today, but you get the idea). We also headed across the sidewalk to explore the Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana walk-through experience. We didn't participate in a lot of the water activities, choosing to let the kids in the area check them out instead, but we still enjoyed our stroll through, taking in the sights of the attraction.
