Like most of Future World, I get lost looking through my photo galleries for each pavilion and start remembering times past and things that would make me smile. I’ve always loved The Land, there is/was so much do to in one building. One of my favorite “original” attractions is still there, the Living with the Land boat ride. Although I do miss the live Cast Member narrating, change is inevitable and at least the attraction is still there. (Yes, I love Soarin’ but I go back to the early days.)
There was one small “attraction” that was very cool back in the 2000s… the Junior Chef Program, presented by Nestle Toll House. A small area in the back of the pavilion was set up as a mini kitchen where a couple times a day junior chefs would make Nestle Toll House cookies.
This photo was taken November 2005. Does anyone have additional information about the Junior Chef Program? How long it was in the Land? Other specifics? Please share them in the comments below.
I don’t have specifics, but in 2002 when my daughter was 11, she did it! Actually we were at Epcot last week, and as we ate lunch in The Land building, we talked about the time she did that, and we were saying, how much we wish it was still there!!
The kids made chocolate chip cookies. They wore chef hats, and took turns putting in ingredients. After the cookies were baked, they got to eat some and take the rest with them.
It was really a great thing!!! So much fun for the kids, and for all of us watching!!
Really miss it!
