Before we went around the different nations of Epcot, Ashly told us to pay attention to something: “You will notice,” she said, “that the visitors to Disney World Epcot will migrate to their own home country. Also, the workers in each area are here on one year visas from their own country, so the sales…
DetailsOne of the coolest, and most thought-provoking, experiences of The Walt Disney World experience thus far is the greenhouse ride at the Living with the Land attraction in Epcot. By focusing on renewable farming techniques and applying best-practices in technology, the researchers and scientists that work in this facility have been able to dramatically increase…
DetailsOur Walt Disney Epcot adventure continues. Unfortunately, it continued right into the first bad (and it would turn out, only bad) food experience on the trip. The Mexican restaurant inside the pyramid is not, as Charlie Sheen would say, winning. In fact, it is the opposite of winning. It is losing. It is losing badly.…
DetailsEpcot is on the agenda for today. We’re having Mexican for lunch and then going to visit the various areas of the world. Before we head off to the lunch reservation, we briefly stopping at another art gallery. Alas, no more Scrooge McDuck merchandise but there was some other cool stuff. We’re going to ride…
DetailsWe met up with everyone around the Walt Disney and Mickey Mouse statue at Cinderella’s castle before heading over to Space Mountain to ride the famous indoor roller coaster. Ordinarily, roller coasters aren’t my thing, but just like the Everest Expedition (the Animal Kingdom equivalent to Disneyland’s Matterhorn), I have to say I really enjoyed…
DetailsSorry it’s been awhile since an update from Orlando. Long story short, we are back in the Magic Kingdom, lots of rides and attractions were involved (Pirates of the Caribbean, The Tiki Room, etc.) and now we are waiting to meet up with Karen and Blake before dinner tonight at The California Grill, one of…
DetailsThe safari this morning was awesome but it is now getting excessively hot so we are going to go into our lunch reservation at the Yak and Yeti early. After that, it’s roller coaster time, specifically the Everest Expedition, which is the Florida Disney World equivalent of the Matterhorn at Disneyland in California. The restaurant…
DetailsIf ever there were a time for a khaki hunting suit from Brooks Brothers, a silver engraved Fratelli Rizzini gun, and an interesting title such as “Colonel” or “Judge”, today would be it. We are going to take the in-park Safari tour of the African wildlife preserve that the Disney company put together with the…
DetailsFollowing dinner at Narcoossee’s on the grounds of the Grand Floridian hotel and resort in Walt Disney World, we decided to head back into the Magic Kingdom tonight to do some shopping and maybe see a few attractions. We ended up looking at collectibles for most of the time. I’m going to go back to…
DetailsDinner tonight is taking place at Narcoossee’s, a seafood place on the edge of the lake that separates the Walt Disney Magic Kingdom, The Contemporary Resort, The Polynesian Resort, and The Grand Floridian Resort. The view is wonderful, the food is terrific, and you can take a nearby boat to any of the other listed…
