EPCOT


After two days at the home show, JS and I were ready for some R&R.
One of our favorite places to visit is the World Show Case at the
 Disney Epcot Park.  It's only half of the Epcot Park and is make up of
 11 pavilions.  France, Morocco, Japan, Italy, Germany, Chins, Mexico, 
Canada, Norway, United Kingdom and The American Adventure.
Each country is staffed with it's native peoples in traditional dress.


The entire park is fashioned to give you a sample of what you may 
experience if you were to visit that county and plays off their history.
It is truly a magical place, beautiful landscapes  and buildings, music
 surrounds you all day.  No shortage of great restraints, making you want
 to eat in every country "and we did !!  It's an experience for the senses.  

We started in France,(above) wondering threw the shops.


More of the same in Morocco.


Japan, had an interesting museum on animation,
from ancient to modern times.


The American Adventure Show, brings you face to face with our
Founding Fathers and their vision for our county.


Visit to Italy for a cup of coffee.


Then a stay in Germany, were it's Oktoberfest every day.
Lunch, cold beer, and a place to put our feet up for some people watching.
The fronts of the buildings are giant working clocks,
with music, chimes and moving charters.


We enjoyed the "Reflections of China" a video journey.

A boat ride threw Mexico is fun and the Mexican folk Art Gallery.
"How I missed taking a picture of the Mexico Pavilion is beyond me ?"


"O Canada" takes you on a 360 degree circle visual across the vast 
landscapes and cities of our neighbor to the north.

Ops ! missed pictures of Norway too. 


Last but definitely not least, the United Kingdom.
Just in time for dinner at the Rose and Crown, English Pub.
Cold beer and Fish and Chips while the Hat Lady played piano.


The grand finally was the amazing light and fireworks show, 
held each night over the lake in the center of the park.
   The perfect ending to a perfect day.


Definetly put Epcot on your list of must do.
