An evening at Epcot

Yesterday afternoon Margaret & I drove to Epcot with friends Linda & Berch, to enjoy the location and have dinner at the Moroccan restaurant.

When we arrived the park seemed happily quiet and we did a “walk on” to Spaceship Earth! After dinner we rode Ratatouille (which did have a long wait), and both Living With The Land and Soarin’ (where were both near walk-on). We also got VERY wet with a heavy ten minute storm! By the time we’d done Soarin’ it was almost 9pm so we stayed for the fireworks. Photos of course:

Grand Floridian Easter Eggs 2024

While visiting Epcot yesterday we also took the monorail over to the Magic Kingdom resort area and checked out the annual chocolate easter egg display at the Grand Floridian resort – the first one we saw was Alice In Wonderland, and was definitely the favorite! The last two photos are of an “in progress” design …

We then took the monorail to the Contemporary resort where there were a few more Easter Eggs to see:

Different fireworks at Epcot

We’ve not seen the fireworks at Epcot since 2017(!) and they’ve been completely redesigned now to more of a water fountain show with some added fireworks … the water is in the middle of the World Showcase lake and it’s very low and difficult to see unless you have a perfect viewing position. The sound is more of a commentary than epic music, and to me a bit disappointing.

But I did get some nice photos:

We also got our first look at the Flower Show with its many “topiary” characters …
