OUR MORNING IN FUTURE WORLD OF EPCOT 4/22/2011

When people have told me about Disney World they have always said to make sure you go to EPCOT.  We made it to EPCOT and I am excited!

 Our first ride was "Re-Imagined".  It took us from the beginning of time to the future.  This picture is depicting when the Greek philosophers began developing mathematical concepts.  It was an interesting an educational ride.

 Wayne even finds manhole covers in Disney World!  It's the Mickey Mouse Manhole Cover!

 We took this picture in "Ellen's Energy Adventure".  It started back where oil began with the dinosaurs!  It took us to the present with all the different sources of energy we have available to us.  It was a fun and informative ride.

This is the "Mission: Space Ride".  I went on the gentler version which was the green team, the orange team is for someone a little younger than me.  I was the engineer in the space shuttle! Our team made it all the way to our destination in spite of a few hazards.  Wayne did not go on this ride because he gets car sick too easily!  I missed him.

 The ride "Living with the Land" was fascinating.  This was inside a biosphere.  They grow a lot of the vegetables that they use in the restaurants in Disney World.  Some of the crops are crops that normally lay on the grown like squash, but with them being strapped up they can grow a lot better especially in this atmosphere.  Wayne got really excited and wished for 3 minutes that we were home where he could grow stuff.

 What looks like several plants on the top pipes is actually one bush.  They call it a Cherry Tomato Tree.  Amazing!

 This was a film with characters from the Lion King speaking on Environmental Health.  It was very well done.

 This is just one picture from the "Finding Nemo" Ride.  Just a fun, colorful ride.

 There's a large fish tank in the same building as the Finding Nemo ride.  This is a manatee.  The manatees in the tank had been rescued from boating accidents where their tails have been severely damaged.

 The real Nemo!

 It was exciting to see a seahorse!  We took several pictures of the fishies.

 The real Dory!

This is one of the scenes from the ride "Journey into Imagination with Figment".  Most of the rides in Future World are dedicated to learning.  It's great!

 We enjoyed Future World!!  Stay tuned next for the rest of our day!!!
