We bought a package of 3 Theme Park tickets. We chose to go to Epcot today. Epcot is second of 4 theme parks built in Disney World.
Below is the icon of Epcot, Spaceship Earth.
Yes, there is a ride in this giant golf ball. Quite nice actually. If you ever go there, remember to put on your best smile when they ask you to look at the camera.

And towards the end, take your camera out and snap/record what’s going to come up on the screen in front of you, because it’s so funny!
There will be a cute animation using our portraits. It will be a different “story” every time depending on what you select. So if you have the time, ride this ride again and again.
Towards the end of the ride, we were surprised that our pictures came out for everyone to see.
Next stop, The Seas. It’s like a mini aquarium. Not as many fish varieties as other big aquariums. I would say, they try to put the type of fish that appeared in Finding Nemo.
Mat getting eaten by Bruce.
One of the big fish tanks.
Mat was mesmerised with 2 turtles fighting for a head of lettuce.
Next stop, Living With The Land.
This is a slow ride on a boat going through their “high tech” farm.
Basically, it’s hydrophonics.
I was like, “wah, so big!” at the size of their produce. When I sent these pictures to my mum, she asked “what fertilizer they used?”
I replied, “fish poop?”
There are many many more rides in Epcot, but a lot of them are in dark spaces, so photos didn’t turn out so well.
There’s this ride that you should NOT miss. Soarin’ Around the World. It’s a huge simulator with a big HD screen and it makes you feel like you’re really flying around the world.
The 2nd half of the park is World Showcase, 11 countries are represented here.
Norway, with a hut that inspired the movie Frozen.
China.
I think this was Germany.
Can’t remember.
America.
Every “country” that you visit, there are a couple of restaurants there where you can eat their “local” food. We ended up in the American one, because well, we’re in America… lol
Japan.
Morocco.
France.
And of course, we couldn’t resist stopping by “France” to have dessert.
Ordered the Creme Brulee.
And the double chocolate.
Conclusion:
If you have the energy, you can actually finish Epcot in half a day. Get a multi entry 1 day ticket. Go to Epcot in the morning, and then head to Hollywood studios in the afternoon.
Overall, Epcot is full of SLOW rides. Nothing intense, oh… except one,Test Track. We couldn’t go on this one because of the weather. We should have gone on it first thing in the morning. We heard it’s really good. Should have came back at night to check it out.
Anyway, this theme park is suitable for young and old because of the slow rides. Most of the rides are simulation based too. I would say Epcot is more of an Educational Theme Park.
That’s all for Epcot. Took the monorail back to our hotel for a rest. Then took the monorail again to the Polynesian Village Resort for dinner. Sorry I forgot to take a photo of this resort. It’s based on a “Hawaiian” theme.
Mathias ordered a hotdog, which was extremely salty.
And I ordered nachos, which was tasty at first, then it got soooo salty towards the end.
