Epcot, Disney's second
venture into the theme park business opened
in 1982 and was visited by almost 11 million
people in 2008, wishing to see and experience
the cultural and technological wonders of
this incredible variation on theme parks.
Water was imported from all over the globe
and emptied into the fountain of nations
to commemorate the opening and new beginning.
Taking three years, 1.4 billion dollars
and 300 acres, becoming the biggest construction
project on the earth at the time, Epcot
was born. Special attributes and emphasis
was placed on many details, like the pavement
in the park being shaded a particular color
of pink to accentuate the greenness of the
grass or the sidewalk colors to enhance
the overall cleanliness of the park; Epcot
was masterfully designed to impress, educate
and bring together the countries, and peoples
of the earth in hopes of bringing about
a brighter, better future for us all.
Divided into two distinct
areas, Future World and World Showcase,
these marvelous dimensions were fashioned
after the world fairs that used to be held
in the early to mid 1900s and has now become
a permanent example of the world's nations.
Future World is made up of various pavillions
that depict the imaginative creations and
uses of technology which has taken the world
by storm. Located there are Imagination!,
Universe of Energy, Test Track, Spaceship
Earth, The Land, Innoventions, The Seas
with Nemo and Friends and Mission: SPACE.
In the World Showcase, there are eleven
countries represented with only nine at
the beginning. Canada, Mexico, China,
Norway, United Kingdom, Italy, France, Japan,
Morocco, and the American Adventure.
Norway and Morocco were the added two, and
Morocco is the only sponsored nation by
its government; the rest being sponsored
or paid for by various private companies
from those countries. There are rides
like the Spaceship Earth, the Seas with
Nemo and Friends, test track and Soarin'
Mission Space. In the dusk of the
evening, Illuminations: Reflections of Earth
is a magnificent fireworks , lasers, water
and fire fountains show that is done with
music and is incredibly beautiful set against
the various shades of the night sky.
Each year there are
some great events held at Epcot that will
delight the visitor, as well as the residents
of Florida. The Epcot International
Flower and Garden Festival in the spring
is a wondrous time to visit and gain knowledge
and information about the various types
of gardens, flowers and plants, with professional
advice given freely. In the fall,
the Epcot International Food and Wine Festival
is a fantastic event that brings the best
of professional and amateur chefs to prepare
delicacies from around the world that will
impress even the most discerning food critic.
Celebrity chefs are brought in to host the
many events and some international cooking
contests are held. Perhaps the most
significant and elaborate is the Holidays
Around the World, that have the various
nations bringing in storytellers to describe
the Christmas traditions in their respective
countries. There are three nightly
shows called the Candlelight Processional
featuring a wonderful choir and a famous
guest narrating the tale of Christmas.
During this time, the Illuminations incorporates
a exceptional ending to its presentation.
One of the most exciting reasons for going
to Epcot, besides the elaborate costumes,
colors, shows and countries, is the food
located in each represented nation.
The architecture is spectacular, as are
the great costumes that the people wear,
since they have come here from their respective
country to help you appreciate and understand
everything they can possibly tell you.
And in each nation, the food is prepared
by native people using only the best and
freshest ingredients for your special delight.
The Mexican food is better here than anywhere
else, the French pastries are difficult,
only because before you even enter their
quaint shop, the most incredible aromas
are wafting through the air, the Japanese
and Chinese foods are extremely great.
The Canadian bacon will certainly entice
you into having a fantastic breakfast there,
with the coucous from Morocco better than
any restaurants in the area. The Norway
and German foods are absolutely delicious,
and oh the Italian cuisine is stupendous.
The United Kingdom and the American Adventure
offer some equally great fare, but since
we Americans can get the very best, it seems
that only the visitors from other countries
stop here, unless you don't enjoy tasting
the delicacies of the world. Try them
all yourselves and see. Or maybe the
best way is to sample food from all the
countries, as it is most assuredly well
worth it.
