EPCOT

EPCOT - Experimental Prototype Community Of Tomorrow, is divided into two parts, World Showcase and Future World.

World Showcase highlights Canada, UK, France, Morocco, Japan, US, Italy, Germany, China, Norway, and Mexico.  Young people from each of these countries participate in a year long exchange program.  We started in Canada, drank a Moosehead beer and watched Martin Short give us a circle vision tour of the Great White North.

The UK was good for a Bass beer, fish and chips and music by Off Kilter, kilter wearing rockers. There are also periodic shows like this one about Cyrano de Bergerac that the kids volunteered Eric for.

In France we watched a balancing show, Morocco was belly dancing and the best pita sliders I’ve ever had. Japan had drummers.

The good old USA had a whooping hooting fist pumping N I G H T  R A N G E R  concerrrrtttttt!! Yeah!

Shake your head and Rock.  Epcot was having a Food and Wine festival.  Sounds like fun, but the sea of people waiting in line for samples, that weren’t free by the way, along with the many shops luring us in to ‘by something’, was a bit much.

The Fife and Drum corps came out to introduce the American Adventure show.

We listened to an acapella  group and then went inside the theater to watch Ben Franklin and Mark Twain take us through American History.

In China we saw a Terracotta Army display

And another movie showcasing the country and scenery.

Norway had a fun Viking ride and scenic movie, and lastly we visited Mexico.

The front half of the park is dedicated to Future World.  In the big ball out front is Space Ship Earth.  This attraction reminded me of a time capsule that winds through the sphere explaining how humans have progressed to the technologically advanced society we have today.

At the end you answer several questions about your utopia and create a personalized video.

Along one side of the park is The Seas, The Land and Imagination.

These exhibits are all ‘inside’ where visitors can browse around without being subjected to the rain or heat outside.  Inside The Seas is the Nemo Ride, Talk to Crush, and several rooms with beautiful aquariums.  They even have a Manatee exhibit.

In The Land, is a Circle of Life movie, and a cool boat ride through a farm of the future.  They said the produce grown here is served in the restaurants around the park.

 

Captain EO is a Michael Jackson, Francis Ford Coppola, and George Lucas 3D film from 1986.  A few years back the girls found that if they were quick, they could get out of the show and run around to the entrance and see it again.

Disney parks a great for their entertainment and attractions filling in along the paths.  We learned how the cranberry shrubs are flooded and with a little help the fruit floats off and is collected for our fall holiday feasts.

Along the left side of the park is Test Track, a thrill ride that lets you design a car and test its performance in different situations.  There is also Mission Space which is a space travel simulator and Energy Adventure where Ellen DeGeneres explains fossil fuels, wind and solar energy.

Communicore Weekly is our favorite podcast of Disney discussions and history.   You can check out their facebook page and see Roy, Genny and Marie with their Communicore buttons.

The evening ends with a fountain show.
