World Showcase

A couple more pictures from last Thursday at Epcot. In the Norway Pavilion, where the new Frozen ride was, there a display about how the researched the area to make the cartoon as realistic as possible. This is the display about the women’s native dress of the region. Very cool.

There were Kidcot stations at each country, where Adam could take the card they’d given him at the first country and get it stamped with a special stamp representing that country, and then the people who did the stamping – who were actually from the country they were representing – turned the card over and drew something special about their country. It was just very cool. The kids could color the decorations on the card. We kept asking Adam at every Kidcot spot if he wanted to color his card, and he never did. Then when we got to Canada – the last stop – he decided he was ready to color. And color. And color. He actually is very artistic, and the mood just struck him, I guess, to do some coloring. By that time we were all ready to sit down and take a break, so it was just as well 🙂

Epcot

Last Thursday we spent the day at Epcot – another amazing day.  We talked about this, and I googled it when we got home & found out Epcot stands for  Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow.  At any rate, it was just such a good day.  As soon as we walked through the gates we headed back to Norway, in the country side of things, to ride the new Frozen ride, before the line got any longer.  The ride was great fun, and as always, the décor where we were waiting was pretty amazing.

We rode rides, and then spent a huge part of the day visiting all the different country pavilions. Kids could pick up a sheet at the first pavilion, and then at each country get a stamp on it with something signifying that country. The workers were actually from that country, and they also signed the back of the sheet with a drawing symbolizing their country, or if they had a different alphabet, writing the child’s name in their language. It was very cool. Here is Adam visiting with the girl in the Japan pavilion, I think it was. Great, great fun.
