Nomad Feet 3: Doing the Disney at EPCOT

Hit EPCOT bright and early Tuesday morning.





We started at the Living with the Land and Pavilion, a place designed to show the significance of agriculture to human development and existence. It also has a great indoor garden that, from what they told us, also does research in how to improve organic food production.  

They also raise various types of fish. This was really a fascinating place and I took about fifty pictures of the facility. Don't worry, I will not post them, I'm sort of getting tired of this myself.

This was taken outside the Seas with Nemo and Friends pavilion. Neither one of the young Sith Lords wanted to cooperate so this was the best I could do. I personally love this pavilion but the Sith Lords and my wife wanted to move on so we didn't stay long. What pictures I took weren't very good.

An English "street" in the World Showcase of nations. For those who might not know the World Showcase is sort of like a permanent world's fair with different sections highlighting individual nations. EPCOT has a nice variety with most of the major countries represented. The one for England here had a lot of samples of English culture and history. Given the blatant ignorance most Americans show for the rest of the world this is an outstanding achievement.  

Walking towards Impressions de France.


Had lunch at Chef de France. It was an unbelievably awesome experience and the price matched it as well. 

Darth Gadgets dessert. I would have taken more pictures of the food but nothing lasted long enough.

Our waiter Gilles.
While the World Showcase is still first rate I have noticed the other section of EPCOT don't seem to be getting the same level of attention. I really hate the thought of such a wonderful place with so much potential not being fully used like Walt Disney intended.

I want that dessert! You know, I'll bet Mike & I would enjoy the World Showcase. We keep saying we'll go sometime if they have a "no kids" day. Ha!

I was at Epcot about a year ago, when my son and his wife and kids visited there. I loved the exhibits and gardens showing food production. And I remember the English street in your photo. Of course, we had to check out Germany, too. I was a little disappointed...Christmas trees in May, and all sorts of Christmas decorations (probably made in China). And I really, really wanted to tell somebody that the "pickle in the German Christmas tree" is a myth.

Bug: My wife and I are in fact planning Disney trips without the kids.

Pixel: One of the few issues I have with Disney is its obsession with Christmas. EPCOT's world showcase was the one area my very jaded daughter thoroughly enjoyed.

the World Showcase was my favorite part of the park.
