Now I remember Epcot from when I went in the 80's, and I have to say I was a little dissappointed in it to start out. Everything changed in the buildings around spaceship earth (The big ball in the above picture for those who haven't had a chance to visit Epcot). You couldn't take a direct path to anything!! We had to go the long way around buildings, as the direct route was blocked off for one reason or another. It was also the warmest day of the week, so we were sweating it out for a little bit. After lunch in Mexico...
the first (or last depending on where you start) country in the ring of countries, we checked out a couple of the buildings around spaceship earth, and rode 3 rides (Imagination, Land and Spaceship earth.) We then started a treck around the ring of countries, which circumvents a large lagoon or small lake.
We ate dinner at Morrocco, which was one of the best meals of the week (I can now say I've had roast Lamb).
After dinner, we continued around the ring of countries all the way back to Mexico. We then backtracked to Italy to watch arguably the best firework and pirotechnic display I've ever seen. At one point, there was a small barge, made exclusively for burning as much fuel as quickly as possible!! The burning barge put out so much heat we could feel it from the shore, which was at least 300+ yards away!! It was like a giant blow torch!
At some points, fireworks would launch from the shore in front of our seat, as well as other points around the lake, leaving a trail of sparks in their wake, of which we had a tail end view.
After the show, like in Disney, we headed for the exit, where I took one final picture of spaceship earth before we boarded the tram to our car. By this time we were about ready for a break. First however, was to come the day that we were looking forward to more than any other day of our honeymoon...Stay tuned for Day 4 - Discovery Cove, and our swim with the dolphins.
