At Disney Epcot the Living With The Land ride takes people through various huge conservatories planted beautifully with interesting and educational exhibits – it’s also possible to take an inexpensive tour into the area, seeing everything in more detail. We’ve done this before but chose to do it again today because Epcot was very busy and the tour is a relaxing alternative to standing in queues!
In the last few weeks, Disney has replaced their Wishes fireworks at Magic Kingdom with a longer Happily Ever After presentation; we saw it tonight for the first time and it’s quite stunning! Here’s a quick Apple Photos video compilation, and some photos following …
Disney’s Animal Kingdom has a new area opening soon – Pandora, inspired by the film Avatar; and we got preview access there today …
As befits the fact that it’s an alien world, everything is very well themed with unusual plants and creatures – including sounds, all around. There are two rides in the area too, a nice gentle Na’Vi River Journey, and a much less gentle one (Flight Of Passage) – for us rather like an extreme Star Tours combined with extreme Tower Of Terror and Soarin’! I don’t think either of us will be doing that second ride again.
Here’s some photos from the visit, showing the theming and plant life:
And here’s some less-than-perfect pictures from the River Journey:
