We have only been to Epcot once before about 15 years ago. I can't speak to how much it has changed, but our experience this time was exceptional. It was not crowded, the lines were short and the pace was perfect.
Disney has always had a reputation for maintaining it's parks. This certainly was not an exception. The landscaping was beautiful, and augmented by the International Flower and Garden Festival taking place this weekend. We were treated to additional exhibits displaying flowers and other plants from around the world.
We walked "around the world" to the 11 country's represented at the park that provide exhibits, shopping and of course, a variety of foods. Some had rides associated with the displays, others had promotional movies, and all had shopping and food venues. The experience provided plenty of opportunities the walk and sit.
There are only a few "thrill rides" in the park. GM provide a test tract where you could volunteer to be a driver (along with five others)as they tested the car. Bumps, braking, hill climbing, and open throttle on what is advertised as Disney's fastest ride added to the excitement of the day. Both of us rode this one. Steve also experienced a shuttle take off after hearing 10 times or more that if you suffered from this or that you should take the less intense version (not!). Sue opted out of both versions.
We finished o
ur day with the spectacular light show that incorporated lasers and fireworks. It was great.Actually we finished our evening with an unplanned tour of Kissimme Florida. The road signs going to Disney World are much more prevalent than the ones going back home. We got ho
me once we clarified which way was west.Another great day waits for us.
