Our last day in Epcot and we had three countries left to explore – first up was Germany. A bit like a fairytale world, it is designed to look like a German town but with architecture from different eras and regions. Son was on a mission though, Karamel-Kueche was calling out to him so that…
A ride on the monorail from Magic Kingdom to Epcot was a new experience for us and we loved the aerial views of the park. We made our way to World Showcase again starting today with the first in the line-up of countries around the lagoon – Mexico. The pavilion here is a huge pyramid, dim…
Another day at Epcot World Showcase and another selection of countries to visit – we decided to opt for France first of all. Strolling across the Pont des Arts footbridge with the Eiffel Tower in the background, it did feel a little like the waterfront of the Seine with flower carts and artists around. The…
World Showcase in Epcot is a bit different to Future World – here eleven countries are represented (Disney style) around the perimeter of a lagoon. The Food and Wine Festival was in full swing during our visit – this was just wonderful and brought a whole different vibe to the place. Apparently just as popular…
Our last day at Future World in EPCOT was all about speed and thrills – first blasting off into space then zooming around a test track. Plenty of nervous anticipation (from me at least) – could I handle these thrills was the question. Our first Fast Pass was for Mission Space so we headed there.…
We spent a huge chunk of the day at EPCOT in The Land – at nearly 6 acres it is huge and the largest pavilion in Future World. There are a couple of shows, a ride and the Sunshine Seasons Food Court – we thought this was a great place to get lunch at Walt…
Strolling past Spaceship Earth we were suddenly aware of a booming noise, good timing, our arrival coincided with some fountains leaping into action. A cool thing to watch, 300,000 gallons of water every minute cascade over the sides of the fountain. Apparently this happens every 15 minutes, we only got to see it once but a…
Our second day at EPCOT started at The Seas. Last time we came here Son was in a stroller, he was mesmerized by the oversized reef at the front of the building and the pesky seagulls shouting – straight out of Nemo. Some things never change….. We saw Mr Ray, Crush and Nemo all outside…
EPCOT or the Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow to give it the full title opened in 1982 and I remember being blown away by this park the first time I visited. Let’s just say although I did enjoy our time here (helped greatly by the Food and Drink Festival which was in full swing), I…
Another trip away from the theme park madness, we decided to spend a chilled out day at Blizzard Beach, one of the two Disney water parks in Orlando. This is a 66 acre attraction, inspired by a ski resort with skis and snow references just about everywhere you look. Son loves nothing more than a day…
