Epcot


On Sunday 23/11/03 we left Tarpon Springs heading for a four day stay in Orlando to visit three of the four Disney World parks and Seaworld. Of the four parks that make up Disney world we started at Epcot, the "Tommorrow Land" park (A couple of friends of Dad and Joyce - Orville and Anita - work for Disney, and they kindly offered to meet us each morning and get us into that days park for free!
Thanks again Orville and Anita :-)

All the parking attendents were riding Segways, this is not the first time I've seen one on my trip, that happened in Vegas one night, but that one was gone before I could whip my camera out.

The famous geodesic sphere, there is a ride inside about the history of human comunication (sponsored by AT&T of course).

"Mission Space", the latest and most expensive ($150m US) ride, this was a blast, you fly on a mission to mars - from blast complete with "G" forces to a landing on mars, all done in a high tech centrifuge with VR and 3d video. I wanted to go again but the line was an hour long!
