Epcot
EPCOT is a theme park at Walt Disney World Resort in Bay Lake, FL. The park opened 01 Oct 1982 and was the second of four theme parks built at Disney World, after the Magic Kingdom park. Epcot is dedicated to the celebration of human achievement, namely technological innovation and international culture, and is often referred to as a "permanent world's fair". The park is divided into two sections, (1) Future World and (2) World Showcase FUTURE WORLD consists of a variety of pavilions that explore innovation aspects and applications including technology and science, with each pavilion feauring self-contained attractions and distinct architecture in its design. Future World also serves as the park's main entrance and features Spaceship Earth, a large geodesic sphere structure and the anchor pavilion, which houses a dark ride attraction that depicts the history of communication. SPACESHIP EARTH is a geodesic sphere that serves as the symbolic structure of EPCOT and is at the entrance to the park. A few photos of Spaceship Earth 
Inside Shaceship Earth Pausing for some photos It may have been November but the topiaries and flowers were still blooming and were beautiful
Perhaps it was the 90s° temperaturesTHE SEAS, formerly called THE LIVING SEAS, is an aquarium and attached dark ride attraction located on the western side of Future World at Epcot. The pavilion is themed as an underwater exploration base called SeaBase Alpha, with several exhibits devoted to oceanic study. The pavilion opened in 1986. In 2003, the name was changed to The Seas With Nemo & Friends. A few photos outside of THE SEAS pavilion 
THE LAND is a pavilion that sits on the western side of Future World at EPCOT. The pavilion is dedicated to human interaction with the Earth, focusing on agriculture and travel. It opened in 1982 and focuses on how humans can both use the land for their benefit and how they can also destroy it. Inside THE LAND pavilion LIVING WITH THE LAND is a 13.5 minute boat ride that takes you through the rain forest and greehouses of this pavilion. We sailed through tropical swamps, prairie grain fields, and family farms before entering a fantastic living-plant research laboratory-solarium. Here the Earth's major food crops, fruits, and vegetables are being grown in high-tech research projects along with rare new crops. We saw plants growing in the air and in water - both without soil. Living With The Land Ride WORLD SHOWCASE is the largest section of EPCOT, containing 11 pavilions, each themed and dedicated to represent a specific country. The pavilions surround the World Showcase Lagoon, a large man-made lake located in the center of World Showcase with a perimeter of 1.2 miles. The 11 pavilions are: Mexico, Norway, China, Germany, Italy, the American Adventure, Japan, Morocco, France, the United Kingdom and Canada. The MEXICO PAVILION resembles a Mesoamerican pryamid with steps leading to entrance doors. Visitors enter through a gallery display of Mexican artwork, the "Animales Fantasticos" art collections. The central indoor area of the pavilion is themed as an outdoor twilight-lit Mexican village an marketplace, Plaza de los Amigos. At the edge of the plaza, a restaurant, San Angel Inn Restaurante, overlooks an indoor lagoon with a themed backdrop of another pyramid and a smoldering volcano in the distance with themed lighting and smoke effects. To the side of the plaza, a boarding area leads to a boat ride, Gran Fiesta Tour Starring the Three Caballeros which commences in the indoor lagoon area. Mexico is the first pavilion if you go in a clockwise direction Carolyn doesn't like to have her photo taken so she takes one of Curtis Inside the pyramid-shaped pavilion, there is shopping, a restaurant and a river ride The 58,000-square-foot NORWAY PAVILION is designed to look like a Norwegian village. The village includes a detailed reproduction Stave church, and the exterior of its main table-service restaurant, Restaurant Akershus, resembles its namesake in Oslo. The exhibit showcases 4 styles of Norwegian architecture. Much of the pavilion is taken up by inter-connected shops. These shops are decorated with large wooden trolls and sell assorted Norwegian goods, including clothing, candy, and other stuff. Kringla Bakeri og Kafe is a bakery, featuring assorted Norwegian pasteries, such as cream horns and open-faced salmon sandwiches. One former exhibit was a full-scale Viking ship - that can be seen in photos from our earlier trips. Visitors enter the CHINA PAVILION through a large Chinese gate. The courtyard is dominated by a replica of the Temple of Heaven, which contains the entrance to "Reflections of China", a Circle-Vision 360° movie exploring China's history and scenery, as well as a museum containing several ancient Chinese artifacts. The courtyard is bordered by shops selling Chinese merchandise and two Chinese restaurants. The pavilion is decorated with ponds, crossed by bridges. Chinese acrobats also perform frequently in the pavilion. Curtis slips and snaps a photo of Carolyn - then she takes one of him Replicas of the terracotta soldiers in China Time for a little shopping ... ... and some entertainment by Chinese Acrobats The JAPANESE PAVILION is one of the original World Showcase pavilions and had been in planning since the late 1970s. it is located between The American Adventure and Morocco Pavilions.

It's not always easy to get a good photo with so many people around The MOROCCO PAVILION, designed to look like a Moroccan city with a realistic Minaret, features the only pavilion in which the country's government aided in the design. Guests to the pavilion gain insight to the lifestyle and culture of the Moroccan people through the Gallery of Arts and History. Inside the pavilion, North African plants including citrus trees, date palms, and olive trees, and fountains can be seen.
