Last Visited: January 2012
One of the most unique park icons you'll ever come across
It's almost hard to forget there's an old-fashioned dark ride in there
Over at Mission: Space, there's nothing old-fashioned about this experience
The Imagination pavilion attractions aren't the best, but the area is still impressive
Easily the most popular attraction in the park, here we see the machinery that runs Soarin
Also in the Land pavilion, you can take a boat ride and see some oversized fruit
The Seas (with Nemo, etc.) gives even standalone aquariums a run for their money
Across the lagoon, we trade technology for culture in the World Showcase
While not required, starting your tour with a Margarita in Mexico is highly recommended
Not knowing what is says makes it authentic
Chinas has to be the most visually stunning of the 11 countries
Inside the temple we see the architecture that is exemplary of the entire showcase
Even the miniature trains run on time in Germany
You can feel at home in Italy with a Prosecco or a Pinot Grigio (notice a pattern?)
The American Adventure is the centerpiece, but hardly an exotic stop
The rustic but elegant beauty of the great white north
Just for reference, the monorail rules, day or night
All across the resort, the sights get much more impressive at night
The nighttime spectaular here is Illumination. There's music, water effects, and fire.
