Samurai Horseman

I took this photograph 11 years ago. It's funny but I don't remember taking it at all. And it's so striking you would think that it's something you would remember. It's obviously taken in Japan in Epcot. I must be getting old.

Epcot or Japan? Yup it's the one at Disney World.

I love some of the little scenes that you find at Epcot. As some of you may know we went to Japan last year. This photo was taken at Epcot and it could well have been one of the photos that I took in Japan. They have done such a good job at Epcot, it's probably my favourite park now. We are looking forward to being there next month. Yeah.

23 Sleeps.

Well as my friend Vonnie says 23 sleeps to the next Disney trip. This is one of my favourite things to do at Walt Disney World, Illuminations, Reflections of Earth. This form of Illuminations is would you believe 16 years old and it's probably due for a replacement. However, I do love it. This shot is from the start of the show as the globe is heading to the center of the lake. Lots of great colours from the fireworks and the lights. Hope you like the shot as much as I do.

World Showcase.

Well to start off year two, I thought this little shot of the lake outside the south of World Showcase might be nice.

Reflections of Earth.

This is the Globe on it's way from storage to the center of the World Showcase lake getting ready for illuminations.

Vote No.

Well with the Scottish Election for Independence about to hit us in a month I thought that I would assert my Britishness. The costs of separation strike me as a total waste of money and I really don't want my pension being paid in the Scottish Thistle. That's as political as this blog is going to get.

China

One of the great things to do is to spend some time not being quite so Disney when you are there. I love to wander around the countries of Epcot. In most of them you can forget you are in "Disney" for a little while. Having said that, it's a glossy version of each country and there is no way anyone in Britain wears any of the clothes they make the CM's wear.

Pyramids.

Here are a couple of Pyramids of Epcot, one in World Showcase and the other from the Imagination section. Ever since I saw Apoclypto.?spelling! I always imagine blue heads tumbling down those steps which rather ruins things for me now.The good news is, that we are in full swing for our next trip, Magic Bands are here. We have fastpass+ booked as well as a couple of meals and a reservation for the "Be Our Guest" lunchtime counter service meal. It's very funny to me that we now have to get reservations for fast food servings but hey that's popularity for you.

A few years ago Robin and I went to Rome for the New Year's Weekend. Rome was one of the most amazing places we have been, we loved the sculpture and the atmosphere. So when we go to Epcot we are always sure to give a real nice smile when we see such great quality in the themeing. We are going to visit WDW in September and have booked a meal at the posh restaurant in Italy.
