Disney World - Epcot visit 3

Today was day 10 for us at Disney World and our 3rd adventure in Epcot. We chose to return so we could avail ourselves of second rides on our favorite attractions, including "The American Adventure." The several dozen audio-animatronics characters in the show depict formative events and persons in the development of our country, and the audio-animatronic "people" are far superior technology to the first such creations made by the Disney engineers decades ago. This "generation" is something like number 100 in a long line of improvements and are so lifelike you'd swear they were real.

We also caught the 15 minute choral presentation in the rotunda -- "Voices of Liberty" -- featuring 9 wonderful singers (who are actual people)...


We ran into Donald Duck in the Mexico pavilion...



The Disney theme this year is "Celebrate Today" as seen on this light post...



A second ride on "Spaceship Earth" was another favorite of ours, and the rde is personalized on a screen in front of your seat...



For the first time, we rode one of the Freindship boats across the lagoon...


Other repeats today included the film "Circle of Life," "Mission: Space" with Gary Sinese, and our favorite attraction, "Soarin'." We also had a "taste of Epcot" by sharing small meals from the pavilions of England, Germany, and Mexico. Tomorrow is our final day at Disney, so check back!
