Epcot

We spent the last day of Lance and Janice's vacation at Epcot. We started with by painting on the big paint-by-number mural set up near the front. Visitors are given a brush, a small pot of paint, and told which number to paint. The mural is huge and it's refreshed every day, so there are always parts that need painting.  

For a snack we got a big chocolate chip cookie, big enough to share. Since we were there during the Art Fair, it shaped like a paint pallet, with colored frosting as paint. The paint brush was pretty useless, though.

We had a fast-pass for Soarin', which is always great.

We had great luck getting on rides without fast passes. We went on Mission:Space, which is fun if your not claustiphobic. And Spaceship Earth, with it's classic depiction of the first computers' flashing lights (I don't recall any of that!) And the line for Test Track was short enough that we went on that one, too!

Then we went on Living with the Land, with its big pods that remind me of "The Body Snatchers".

We spent enjoyed going through the Miksukoshi Department Store in the Japan pavilion, admiring the kimono for sale and watching this lady open oysters for people to find pearls.

Today the "Jeweled Dragon Acrobats" were on display; this is the first time we've seen them. 

We had dinner reservations at the Rose and Crown. It's a great place to get a Guinness, but we discovered they have a small menu and charge too much for fish and chips. Oh, well, you never know until you try! We had planned to stay for the fireworks, but it had been a long day and the unanimous decision was not to wait another hour.
