Epcot visit one

EPCOT

We made two trips to Epcot.   One when it was not so busy and saw all the major attractions and the second visit when the flower show started and staying to see the fireworks.  In the past we have been to Epcot twice already so have seen most of the exhibits at least once.

We took a behind the scenes tour of their special garden research area.  They are looking at ways to grow food in small spaces without soil.  Pretty interesting.   I want to try one of their ideas for an herb and edible garden in MN this summer.

The China  and Japan exhibits are our favorites.

When we saw Taiko drums several years ago it started our interest in this music form and we have seen several performances in the Twin Cities.

We splurged and had lunch in France.  Figured doing it at Disney was alot cheaper then the flight to Paris.

The Soarin experience/ride was pretty fun.  It gives you the illusion of flying over the California.  It felt pretty real.   My great thanks to the 8 year old boy sitting next to me when he reassured me before the ride.” Just remember it’s not real.   You are only about 18″ off the floor.”  I found myself repeating that to myself a coule times.
