PHOTO TR: My favorite Disneyworld pictures.

[BeemerBoyWDW Monorail Fanatic]

I think I've been to Disney World 5 or 6 times now, my last time just being a month ago. I really don't understand what people like about World Showcase. Maybe when it opened in the 70's it had some significance, but I just don't get what so special about it.

See, there's the problem right there. You must be talking about a different Epcot. This one opened in the 80's.

All the alcohol they sell are generic imports that can be found at the grocery store, but with a Disney price.I think going to the food court at the mall is a similar experience, but with much less walking.

See "Exhibit A" below.

It's just a bunch of shops and restaurants with two short boat rides and a few movies, which really aren't all that interesting on a repeat visit (or the first time).
I really hope these rumors of a new country and expansion of the Japanese pavilion happen, as long as at least one of these contains a ride (that isn't a boat).

So after that glowing review, a new country, a possible expansion of another, or a new ride is gonna bring you back?


I guess until then I'll just catch you at the mall, while I'm there buying new shoes to walk through the 70's.

^I wish more people thought like SLUSHIE. That way the food lines would be shorter at the Food & Wine Festival.

[SLUSHIEIt's hot outside, and I have a headache]

So it opened in the 80's then I'm guessing? Anyways my point was that when it opened, maybe not every city in America had a Chinese restaurant so the World Showcase was a little bit more novel than it is now.

I didn't say I didn't like EPCOT, just the World Showcase. Rides are the reason I go to theme parks, not food, so yes a ride would probably make me want to venture into the area.

Don't take what I'm saying literally.

So what your saying is that it's a bad park because it does not have a 500 foot coaster?

Seriously though,There is a lot more to the world showcase than just food and shopping. I love coasters and thrill rides as much as anyone, but that's not the reason I go to epcot.

I can't quite put my finger on why I like it so much. Maybe it's the people or the displays? Not sure.

1) Do some homework before you spout off. EPCOT opened in 1982.

2) If you don't get World Showcase, then you don't understand the entire park.

3) I took what you said literally. It's the only way to take something that was presented....literally.

thrillrider, I'm not sure taking pictures of the Utilidors is allowed on the tour. You may want to remove those.

The back hall entrance to the Haunted Mansion is for cast members as well. It's not themed just for the tour.

Remember pleasure island and all the cool clubs?

I am sure that I am not the only one who misses the night life and all the great clubs that pleasure island had. I really enjoyed the comedy club, mannequins, and the adventure club.

I have some videos from a few of the clubs that I will try to post soon.

The next update will be of downtown disney and disneyquest.
