Sum of all Thrills
On October 14, 2009, a new attraction opened in Innoventions East at Epcot (near Electric Umbrella). "Sum of all Thrills," presented by Raytheon, promises to be a real crowd pleaser and I predict long lines as more people discover this...
Mission: Space
Before Mission: SPACE, there was Horizons. Horizons opened exactly one year after Epcot on October 1, 1983. The attraction used Disney's Omnimover conveyance system and allowed guests to view the future through the eyes of scientist and authors both past...
Bistro de Paris - Epcot
I am often asked what my favorite restaurant is at Walt Disney World. But that’s a difficult question to answer. There are so many categories from which to choose. There are casual eateries, fine dining, and counter service. And it...
Epcot International Food & Wine Festival Press Preview
The 14th Annual Epcot International Food & Wine Festival kicks off on September 25th. To help get things started, Disney invited members of the press to preview some of the new and exciting taste-treats being served this year and to...
Test Track - Epcot
I can’t discuss Test Track without first talking about the early years of Epcot. When the park opened on October 1, 1982, it was to be an “adult” park – a place where guests could learn about the challenges facing...
Boulangerie Patisserie
One of my favorite spots at Epcot, and probably a favorite of many of you, is the Boulangerie Patisserie located in the France Pavilion. What better place is there to indulge in such decadence? Artistic delights to tantalize the taste...
Epcot Flower & Garden Festival 2009 – Part 1
The 2009 Epcot Flower & Garden Festival officially opened on Wednesday, March 18 (and runs through May 31). I wasn’t there on opening day as I usually am, but I had a good excuse. This year, Epcot held a special...
Cool Wash – Epcot
I recently wrote about the Everest Shrine at the Animal Kingdom. In it, I pointed out how the shrine is the same shape as the mountains in the background. I thought everyone was aware of this little bit of trivia,...
Epcot - New Morocco Exhibit
A new exhibit has opened in the Morocco Pavilion at Epcot. Located in the first building on the left as you enter the country, this new display is titled, Moroccan Style: The Art of Personal Adornment. As you might guess...
China Pavilion Fun
There are three pairs of lions in the China Pavilion at Epcot. One pair stands guard in front of the House of Whispering Willows (the museum). The other two pairs can be found near the entrances to the Yong Feng...
Yakitori House - Epcot's Japan
I’m currently remodeling my kitchen (among other projects). Anyone who has ever undertaken a home improvement project knows there are good days and bad days. Today was a bad day. First, the tile man called and cancelled. He had...
Spaceship Earth
A new element has been added to the post-show of the Spaceship Earth redesign. As you might know from reading other blogs, your picture is taken soon after you board the attraction. In addition, you are also asked to designate...
Step Back in Time - Magic Kingdom
I first visited Disney World in January 1972. Over the years, I took a number of pictures while vacationing here. Looking back, I wish I had taken more, but then I have to remind myself, film was expensive and having...
Club Cool - Epcot - Have some Beverly??
Do you have a slightly sadistic side to your personality? Well if you do, be sure to visit Club Cool in Future World at Epcot with your friends. Here, guests can sample, free of charge, a number of Coca Cola...
Japan Pavilion Update
The full service restaurant within the Japan Pavilion is currently being refurbished and enlarged. Guests with a careful eye can see a small portion of the expansion as the walk along the promenade looking behind the Mitsukoshi Department Store. This...

All of the trees flanking each side of Spacehip Earth have been removed as refurbishment continues on this attraction. The approximate reopening of Spaceship Earth is November 14th of this year....
Fountain View in Epcot
Anita Answer and I were strolling through Future World at Epcot today when Anita noticed that the Fountain View restaurant is now sponsored by Edy's Ice Cream. The pastries are gone and the facility now offers approximately 12 flavors of...
Spaceship Earth Wand Removal
Demolition continues on the Mickey Mouse arm and Epcot sign over Spaceship Earth. Currently, the east entrance walkway next to Spaceship Earth is completely closed off to guests. All traffic entering Epcot is directed to the west pathway, next to...
Le Cellier Steakhouse - Canada - Epcot
Recently, I called to make reservations at the Le Cellier Steakhouse in the Canada Pavilion. I wanted to eat sometime between 5pm and 7pm. I didn’t care what day. The operator checked every day starting on June 25. It...
