Walt Disney World

Tuesday was sunny and cool.  We got up early and headed to EPCOT.   EPCOT was an acronym created by Walt Disney himself for "Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow".  Some sights were the same as the last time we visited about 30 years ago, but many attractions have been updated.  There were plenty of children at EPCOT but the pace was slower and the crowds were moderate.
This part of  Norway looked like a scene from the movie "Frozen".  Notice the grass and live flowers on the roof.
We loved the Circle-Vision 360 degree shows at China and Canada.  France offered a great movie experience as well.
Inside the China display was this replica of the tomb soldiers.  The small figures were unearthed from the 2000 year-old tomb of the first emperor of the Qin Dynasty.  His tomb covers 526 acres in China.


This beautiful train set and village was near Germany.
 
Chevrolet had a fun ride where you got to design a car then drive it down a test track.  Bill was surprised that everything was Chevrolet and not one GM logo was to be seen.
 
And this is evidence of why old people should not try to do "selfies" on the rides.  We decided after this that maybe we needed one of those "selfie sticks" that many young people were using to hold their cameras.
