Epcot

For my 2nd day off I lounged around by the pool in the morning and then went to Epcot in the afternoon. The first ride I went on simulated flying to Mars: it was good but made me feel very queezy. I then walked round the park, trying a few things here and there, looking at stuff, listening to the funny Americans, taking pictures.
I went round the whole place and there was only one other ride to go on, Soarin'. This was good, and I got running commentary from a drunk Texan woman throughout.
Half the park is given over to other countries, little Disney versions of China, Mexico, France, Japan, Norway etc. I ate some Yorkshire fish and chips in England before making my way back to the resort.
All in all, it was odd: there was loads of stuff there, but nothing really to do. The crowds of people there would probably disagree, so I guess I don't get it.
In fact, I'm sure that's it.
Disney: huh?

		hi, i'm a funny american moving to london on valentines day. i came across your blog and was tickled to find out you recently went to epcot. i was just there with friends and it was the first time i had been there as a grown-up (we we were really high on brownies i made). i apologize for the cesspool of fat american families there, they are not a true representation of everyone in this diverse, mediocre country (wasn't it creepy how they all dress the same so they make sure they cant' lose their children?) anyway, just passing through, looking to make new pals in the UK as i become an official ex-pat. .....posted by AmyMihyang at 7:09 am, January 28, 2006 Good luck Amy! You're right about those strange inhabitants of Disney World. One family I saw (can't have been a real family - there were about 20 of them) were all wearing bright yellow t-shirts. Which was bad enough, but they were all XXXL, and most of them where little kids. What a funny lot! Wish I'd had some of those brownies :-( .....posted by babyatom at 4:57 pm, February 02, 2006
