Thursday 30 May

And then we had our day at Epcot ....



We started as always with Spaceship Earth, showing us how we've developed as mankind .... Here are the highlights .....


The Egyptians gave us the written word ....

The Greeks gave us maths ....

The Germans the printing press ....

The Americans took us to the moon ....

And then came computers for all ....

Then we were off round the World Showcase ....
The World Showcase features many different countries all situated around a large man-made lagoon.

But before we got there, we could enjoy the fact that the Flower and Garden Festival was in full swing and the park was decked out both with beautiful flower beds and with floral depictions of some of Disney's most celebrated characters.







Thank goodness these girls are now earning!

I paid about £4 for this. Epcot is the only park where you can buy alcohol and they're clearly determined that no one is going to get drunk in there!








No, not "It's a Small World" in Magic Kingdom but this is in the Mexico pavilion and perhaps now showing its age


While we've been here, news has been leaking out that Disney are going to add a new pavilion to the World Showcase - Brazil.

Orchids growing - just like that!

Year of the Dragon - for those born in 1928 amongst other years - at the China Pavilion


"Venice" in the distance as part of the Italy pavilion
Lion King


In the Germany pavilion. There was a suggestion that I should get this!


No visit the the Germany pavilion would be complete without a few moments viewing their outdoor layout.  This time only one train was lying there derailed!






France.  See the Eiffel Tower behind ...


Time for a quick selfie in Quebec
