Florida, Day 5 - Epcot

April 01, 2015  •  Leave a Comment

I had been pretty impressed with the other parks so far but Epcot really was fantastic. There is a garden festival going on at the moment there so lots of stunning topiary displays amongst the already striking park. I think this is definitely the most photogenic park so far... I took a huge amount of pictures as you can see! We hardly scratched the surface of things to see and do here.. will definitely be revisiting for another (long!) wander!

I love this fountain - it fires huge jets of water into the air and 'dances' to music... I could watch it all day! DSCF8778DSCF8778 DSCF8779DSCF8779 DSCF8781DSCF8781 DSCF8782DSCF8782 DSCF8783DSCF8783

Inside Test-track - sadly we saw his building for far too long. The ride broke down after we had been waiting for about an hour... we were stuck between a rock and a hard place, should we give up on the queue and start again later, or persevere?! We did the latter... three hours later we finished the ride. Fabulous attraction but what a waste of time... never again!! DSCF8786DSCF8786 Despite that, the children still had fun designing their cars and putting them to the test! DSCF8787DSCF8787 DSCF8790DSCF8790 DSCF8795DSCF8795 DSCF8797DSCF8797

Time for more innovative games - a 3D 'put the body back together' game and one that looked a little like curling, where you had to move 'brooms' to push energy cells to power parts of a virtual city that were running low on supplies... DSCF8841DSCF8841 DSCF8847DSCF8847 DSCF8864DSCF8864

An exhibition of butterflies was an added bonus... and a slight photographic distraction!  DSCF8892DSCF8892 DSCF8894DSCF8894 DSCF8907DSCF8907
