Walt Disney World Epcot Discussion Thread

[StealthFan]

What I think looks fantastic about this whole event is that even as someone who is such a picky eater I give Elissa a run for her money, there is still some items on the menus that I would happily eat. Of course if all else fails I could just stop by England and get some Fish and Chips.

Awesome report! Gets me even more excited for my trip in just over a week. Can't believe after all these years I'm finally going to get to experience this!

[Rai Fox]

Looks amazing... Last year I just caught the last day of the festival; not nearly enough. No Disney this year, but next year, I'll be spending a full week there, staying at the Boardwalk, so I can just walk on over, and stumble back, every day. The pictures here are making that year wait really painful, though. Just hope they still have the Hawaiian pork sliders again next year; I absolutely agree that it was the best thing there...and that's saying a lot, with how amazing everything was.

Forget all this talk about eating around the world...try drinking around the world!

 

Then go play "Where's the Fire?"

[Jew]

I think EPCOT might have burned down that day since the fire was unable to be found!

[cfc]

^You may have started the fire, for all you know!

First time posting, but visited this site many times ever since I worked at Six Flags St. Louis years ago. Now, I live in Orlando.

 

But anyways, I was at the park on the same day and walked past Robb while he was in one of the shops. Should've said hi.

 

Love the Food & Wine Festival.

[jray21]

I'm counting down the days until Food and Wine. It really is worth every penny. I always have to get one of everything. Some I don't care for and will just try a bite, but almost everything is amazing!

^Go for the yardbird. You will not be disappointed.

Found this video of a drunk guy climbing the pyramid in the Mexico pavilion.

 

 

I guess he had too many tequilas from the tequila bar.

^When I read this, all I could think before watching was, "please be Joey or Derek, please be Joey or Derek!"

Looks like they are closing captain EO permanently on December 7th.

No replacement has been named yet.

I thought the same thing.

Glad it is Captain EO over Universe of energy, now that after my last visit I discovered it is a good place to take a quiet nap.

I dont think I even noticed where Captain EO was in the park so can't say I will miss it at all.

[viking86]

^You're not the only one, I've been to EPCOT three times over my last two trips to Florida and I never noticed it.

Nope--me, neither.

Looks like it's going to be some sort of Pixar attraction.

I very much approve of this!

[Nrthwnd]

I wonder which ones they'll choose to show?

[DorneyKid14]

Saw this on Facebook.

[Nrthwnd]

^ Very nice. I wondered how other Disney spots in the world,

were going to handle this Outpouring of Global Love, etc.

Very nice. Beautiful. And a lovely strong colour, too.

The Pixar film is obviously a stop gap. I wonder if it's a direct result of other things (Shanghai/Avatar) being grossly over budget.

Question for the Orlando experts:

My buddy and his wife only have 3 full days to spend in Orlando when they go in December. (6th-8th) So with that said, they can only do 3 of the 4 Disney parks.

Should Epcot be the park that is cut from their itinerary?

[Jew]

No way. Epcot is one of the few parks that is so spread out that you can just enjoy your day. Plus Illuminations is an amazing show!

Doubtful it's budget related. Captain EO has run its course.
