Our last day at Disney World took us to
Epcot. We had to return to our hotel by 3:00 to meet the shuttle from
Alamo to take us to the Disney Car Rental Center. We met up with the
family at the Imagination Center after walking through the main
entrance around the big metal sphere which is the Epcot signature
feature. We did the ride featuring “Figment”...quite
disappointing because it hasn't changed since we saw it 50 years ago!
In fact, the entire area around the opening of Epcot is looking quite
old and outdated.
Once you cross over into “The World”
its a different story. Each nation's display is beautiful, some with
shows, most with shops or restaurants. Its a long way around the
lake! We started off with our favorite– O!Canada – a 360 degree
film, narrated by Martin Short, showing great scenes from all over
the country.
Lunch today at Italy – great slice of
Pizza! Since we had to begin the trek “home”, we said our
good-byes after lunch and continued on around the lake.
Unfortunately, we didn't have time to stop and browse, maybe next
time!
We got back to the hotel just in time,
got the shuttle over to Alamo, picked up the car and off we went. We
headed north up Rt 27, checked into a fleabag Quality Inn, and
arrived at Bob and Mardi's about 5:30. We had a great visit and
enjoyed a home cooked spaghetti dinner. They spend the winter in a
1200 unit mobile home community in Leesburg; seems to have all the
amenities you could want!
By the way, the weather today was
winter-like! Cloudy, high in the low 50s and breezy. Not nice! Its
supposed to warm up tomorrow.
