Orlando Vacation - Epcot (Part 5)

The last park we went to was Walt Disney World's Epcot. The park is broken up into two parts: Future World (having to do with space and future modes of transportation) and World Showcase (There are 12 countries represented with stores selling goods from that culture and restaurants in each country).

Spaceship Earth is located in what looks like a giant

golf ball and it is located at the center of the park. Test Track, the ride
Mission: SPACE ride, where you are
launched into space and travel to Mars

At the gift shop, there were all sorts

of Disney wedding collectibles. Seen here

are Christmas ornaments and bobble heads.

Once we walked through the Future World, it was

off to the World Showcase. The next two photos

are from the United Kingdom.

Lords & Ladies store.

From the United Kingdom, you cross over

the bridge and you are looking at France.

From France, you go past Morocco and then to Japan.

We ate dinner here and had Japanese food.

From Japan, you can look out across a lake and

see the golf ball on the other side of the park.

From Japan, you walk past the USA (which is represented

by Colonial Williamsburg) and step into Venice, Italy. This area

is made to look like Piazza San Marco. I saw Venice,

Florence and Rome with my family in 1999.

Gondolas on the Grand Canal

From Italy, you go into Germany. Toby bought $30 worth

of German chocolates while I looked at beautiful

hand-painted German Christmas ornaments.

From Germany, you walk past China, Norway, Africa

and into Mexico. Here is a replica of a Mayan temple.

Then we walked past the golf ball (which was

all lit up at night) as we left the park.
