Mario and the gang finally reached The Land pavilion at about lunchtime. The first thing they did was hurry down to Soarin' to see if they were still giving out Fastpasses. Fortunately, not only were Fastpasses still being given out, but the time they were for was only two hours away! Mario grabbed six of them and returned to the group to discuss what to do in the meantime.

"I guess we should stop for lunch, right?" Luigi suggested, "The only thing I had all day was an apple and some orange juice."

"And a doughnut!" Mario reminded.

"Uh... Yeah... A doughnut..."

"How about we go on Living with the Land?" Peach brought up, "It's a boat ride through a greenhouse where Disney grows all the food they use in the restaurants!"

"This isn't another stupid educational ride, is it?" Wario moaned, "The last thing I want to do is go on a ride about a bunch of freakin' plants!"

"Yeah!" Waluigi agreed, "Why on earth would we want to go on a ride like that?"

"Because you get to see 20 pound eggplants," Daisy replied, knowing that Waluigi loved eggplant.

"Oh, well, when you put it that way..." Waluigi answered as he began to walk towards the entrance of the ride.

"Hey! Wait a sec!" Wario interrupted, "I'm not goin' on unless there's a 20 pound garlic as well! There IS a 20 pound garlic, right?"

As it turned out, there wasn't a 20 pound eggplant OR garlic in the ride, which bummed out the 'Wario Bros.' a lot. Not surprisingly, it didn't take them long before they dozed off on the ride.

"Now, we always look for new ways to grow crops here at The Land," the tour guide explained, "And some of them are quite unique, like when we..."

"... ZZZ..." Wario and Waluigi snored.

"Wario!" Peach hissed, "Wake up! You're not supposed to be sleeping on the ride!"

"Eww! Waluigi!" Daisy shouted, "Stop drooling on my shoulder! That's disgusting!"

They didn't seem to hear them, much to everyone's embarrassment, and they continued to sleep though out the entire ride. In fact, when they reached the end, Mario and Luigi had to drag Wario and Waluigi off the boat! Fortunately, getting dragged around seemed to be enough to wake them up, and they were as surly as ever.

"So, when do we eat?" Waluigi demanded, "I'm starving!"

"Let's see..." Mario replied looking at the park map for dining locations, "Ah! Here we go! The Garden Grill! It's a sit-down restaurant on the second floor. How 'bout we take a look?"

The group walked up stairs to the restaurant and quickly got seated. As they were looking at the menu deciding what to order, Wario noticed something odd.

"Hey! What is this, a vegetarian restaurant? There's nothin' but greens on here? I want bacon, not broccoli!"

"It's a restaurant in a pavilion about the land..." Mario replied, "What did you expect?"

"Grr... Fine... I guess I'll just have to starve... Next time, I'm looking at the menu BEFORE I sit down!"

"You know, did anyone else notice that this restaurant is moving?" Daisy asked.

She was right. The whole restaurant was actually on a rotating platform! As it slowly moved clockwise around, a window appeared that overlooked part of Living with the Land.

"Hey! What's that down there?" Wario asked, "Why didn't we go on that ride?"

"We, uh... did go on that ride, Wario..." Luigi mumbled, "You were asleep for the entire thing..."

"I was?"

Wario paused and thought for a moment. Suddenly, he pressed his face against the window and started making faces at the people in the ride below! He continued to do this until the restaurant moved back away from the window, to which he slumped sullenly back into his seat.

"I'm bored. When's the food gonna get here?"

Everyone proceeded to moan in unison.

"Well, that was a good lunch," Peach complimented as they left the Garden Grill, "That salad was delicious, and low on fat, too!"

"I don't think you really have to worry about your weight, Peach," Daisy replied, "You look fine just the way you are! Wario, on the other hand..."

She turned and looked at Wario, who was munching on three turkey legs at the same time.

"Hey, wait a second, where'd you get the turkey legs?" Daisy asked.

"BURP! Frontierland." Wario belched.

"What? We're in Epcot, not the Magic Kingdom! What do you mean Frontierland?"

"It's from yesterday. I bought a few extra and stored them away in case I got hungry and there was no good food around," Wario explained, pointing to a greasy back pocket, "Can you believe the Florida sun kept them warm all this time?"

"UGH! Forget I asked!"

"Heh, you think that's bad?" Waluigi began, "You should've seen the time he tried to store a cheeseburger in there! The cheese went bad and it smelled like he was farting where ever he went! And then, the beef juice started to stain his paints brown, and it looked like---"

"Ok! Too much information!" Luigi interrupted, "How about we change the subject... Mario! Is it time to go on Soarin' yet?"

"Yep!" came Mario's reply, "Let's-a go!"

Mario and the gang walked over to the entrance of Soarin' (which looked like a real airport terminal), showed the Cast Member their Fastpasses and got into the Fastpass queue. As they moved quickly past the people in the stand-by line, Wario couldn't resist opening his big fat trap again.

"Look at all those losers waiting in that long line!" Wario shouted, "I bet they feel like they're really at an airport trying to check in! HA!"

"Yeah!" Waluigi agreed, "Or maybe they feel like they're in the security checkpoint line! Or customs!"

"No, it's more like the check-in line. I don't see a metal detector anywhere."

"Good point... And I don't see the freak who pats people down if the detector beeps."

"Well, it's not always a freak. One time when I was going through security, it was this hot chick, so I left all my change in my pocket so the detector would go off and she would have to... Hey, where'd everyone go?"

Wario and Waluigi looked around and saw the rest of their group much further down the line. Franticly, they started running, trying to catch up with them.

"Whew... Hey..." Waluigi panted when they caught up, "Why didn't you wait for us?"

"We didn't have the time," Mario replied sarcastically, "If we waited for you, the park would close before we'd get on the ride."

"What are you talking about?" Wario questioned, "The park doesn't close for another nine hours... WAIT A SECOND! WHAT ARE YOU INSINUATING?"

"Oh... Nothing..."

Eventually, they entered a room with a bunch of seats strapped to the bottom of a 'hanglider'. As they took their seats (front and center, just as Peach had requested), Luigi glanced up that the gigantic IMAX screen in front of them.

"Wow... I gotta get one of those for my mansion." Luigi commented, "Imagine watching Episode III on that thing."

"Soarin' to tower, you are clear for take-off," came a voice from an intercom. Suddenly, the seats rose up off the ground and moved towards the screen! Then, the screen started to display amazing aerial footage as the hangliders soared over the landscape.

"Woah! I really need to get one of these for my mansion!"

"Wow, that's so cool!" Daisy yelled, "Look! There's the Golden Gate Bridge!"

"Yahoo!" Mario hollered, "Hey, that's Yellowstone down there!"

"Now we're in an orange grove!" Peach shouted, "I can even smell the oranges!"

"Oh, please..." Wario moaned, "You're all acting like we're really flying around. This is just a fancy-shmancy IMAX movie. See, I can prove it to you: If I look down, I can see the ground, the real ground, mind you, right beneath us!"

Wario leaned far over, as to prove his point, when he lost his balance and FELL to the ground below! Carefully looking over, Waluigi saw Wario in a huge crater in the middle of the floor!

"Well, I guess he was right..." Waluigi mumbled, "He proved it without fall... I mean, fail."
