    When you decide to travel to Florida you will have decided to enter the vacation capital of the world. Whatever you wish to do or see is there, cultures from around the world, Designer shopping outlets and of course Theme parks, all this complimented by the Florida Sun. Pick up some Culture Besides the mixed American Community you can go to Walt Disney’s Epcot, here you can walk through the World Showcase exhibit. You will see replicas of all the major cultures in the world. In each land you visit there is a journey through the exhibit, all contain dining, shopping and entertainment. You can experience the delights and extravagances of Mexico, Norway, China, Germany, Italy, The American Adventure Japan, Morocco, France, United Kingdom, and Canada. In fact you can walk around the world in a few hours or days as you wish. Epcot Entertainment For Adults and Children Epcot is a truly wondrous theme park, not just for the rides but for the complete experience. Of course the rides you can involve yourself in are a major part of the day but you should take some time to observe the landscaping and the thought that has been given to the overall ambiance of Epcot.

    Your are greeted by Spaceship Earth, a very large silver ball which contains a ride that takes you through a brief history of man and the achievements that have been made.

    From here you can choose your path to different worlds, You can choose to go to The Seas, this is a water experience, again you will find places to eat and rest but most important a glimpse into the underwater world of the fish. It matches the experience of scuba divers without getting wet and gives you and your children an opportunity to learn about a new world.

    From here you should go to “The Land” here you will see the methods used to grow our daily food, and the fascinating Hydroponic Gardens, where they grow food without soil. To tell you more might spoil the experience but suffice to say that if you do not consider how to do this at home you will be one of the few.

    Walk on to Imagination, this is a ride where your imagination is tested, there are few rides where adults and children can dream of things you have done and will do.

    From here you can launch into the Culture experience as described above or go across to the Test Track, this as its name suggests is an exhibit about the history of the Motor Car, interesting to see the past but equally is the concept of how we will travel in the future. Only a few steps away from this is another method of travel, which is Mission Space, it explains where we started our journey into space and where we are trying to go, done only as Disney can. Your final experience in this area of Epcot is Universe of Energy, I wonder what this can be, you will know when you have experienced the wonder of EPCOT.

    Whatever you decide to do this Park is one for all the family, a true family place, a place to be entertained and a place to wonder. Have a great day.
