Disney Epcot

Sorry for missing a day but I could not get onto blogger.com at all from the hotel room on Friday. We're back in Columbus now so I owe you a Friday report. First, however, if you sometimes get the idea you are the only person on Earth reading this, here are a couple stats: the blog has been viewed 3,545 times by people in ten countries, including Barbados and Ukraine. The US and UK lead the way.

Friday was Epcot at Disney World. It has changed some since the last time we were there. It's still one of my favorite sections of Disney. More adults and less kids has nothing to do with it.



Spaceship Earth is the centerpiece and can be seen from everywhere in Epcot, so you always know which direction is which. We walked right onto the ride there and it is a good one. Remember, we rate rides as good and bad based on whether or not you can get into the car you have to ride.



HGTV was sponsoring a special garden display throughout Epcot, so you'll be seeing some pictures of their stuff. Di liked it.


This was the Canada pavilion. To the left of this photo were some big totem poles.





HGTV had a home garden display area. You had a Radio Flyer didn't you?? (First photo) The last photo was in honor of our dogs Brutus and Buckeye. Don't expect me to name a single plant.


This was a fife and drum unit at the American pavilion.


Our favorite, of course: the Italy pavilion. The building on the left is a miniature Doge's Palace, and to the right of that is the bell tower for St. Mark's  Cathedral. Just like in Italy, lunch was $80.


 
 
I love model trains. This was a huge outdoor display and I just wanted to capture the little city they had. You could walk through the entire thing.


When it's time to leave, what do you look for?? That's right: Spaceship Earth.

OK, so if you were paying attention you would have noticed not a single cloud in the sky for ANY photo. Alright, it was somewhat cool the first day, but it was 74 when I took that last photo. So there.

Next trip is a cruise to the Southern Caribbean at the end of July. We won't be layering clothes then, just sunscreen.
