Happiest Epcot on Earth

For today's little piece of Epcot I am offering up a video from the old Happiest Celebration on Earth vaction planning DVD. I don't love it as much as I did the WDW Tour, but it still provides a great tour of the park. It certainly is a lot more detailed than the current offerings on Resort TV. Have a magical day!

Outstanding Culinary Performance

It's time to hand out another Sorcerers Wand! This one is for outstanding culinary performance. While this is definitely the most personal selection, I have a feeling many of you will agree. The Wand goes to...

Le Cellier

I really don't have much of an explanation for this. It really is just something you have to experience for yourself. The food is great and the service is even better. Read any of the glowing reviews online and you'll see why so many people love it.

So what do you guys think? Agree or disagree?

Safety Dance

Please allow me to interrupt the Month of Epcot for this special safety announcement.

Best Costume Design

Hello everyone. I hope you're enjoying your Monday! It's time to give out another Sorcerer's Wand. This was a very interesting one to decide. I actually had to put a lot of thought into it. Great costumes aren't things you notice because they seamlessly blend with the overall experience. So, without further ado, the Sorcerer's Wand for Best Costume Design goes to....


The Mexico Pavilion 

This was a very tough decision since I could have given this to any of the World Showcase Countries. My first runner up would probably be the American Adventure. But Mexico slightly edged it out because of the overall atmosphere of the pavilion. This pavilion probably does the best job of transporting you out of Epcot and into another world. The costumes have a lot to do with that. The cast members are an integral part of making the whole experience possible.

This was a tough one, so I would love to hear what you guys have to say about this. Who do you think deserved this award?

Playing Favorites

Sorry I missed my daily post yesterday, but it was a busy weekend for me. For today's post I have a different kind of idea. I want to hear from all of my guests here at the blog. It's time to let your voices be heard.

I want to know what your favorite thing in Epcot is. It can be anything you want. A ride, a show, a restaurant, a sight, a sound, a smell, or anything at all. Basically, what is the thing you love the most about Epcot.

So let me hear you. What do you have to say?

Ambiance

Well today is my birthday. So I though I'd post my favorite music from Epcot.


I really love the Innoventions background music. It feels so futuristic and every time I hear it it instantly takes me right back to Epcot. It's perfect.

Outstanding Art Direction

This particular idea came to me when I was watching the Oscars. Surprisingly, it was one of the harder awards for me to decide. The winner is...

World Showcase

Is this a cop-out? Probably. But it is really the only decision to make. The entirety of World Showcase is beautifully designed. The lands perfectly represent their countries and really transport you to far away places. Even just a walk around the lagoon is amazing. The buildings are perfectly detailed and take your breath away. It is one of the most impressive places in all of WDW.

What do you guys think? Agree or disagree?

Best Ride Vehicle

It's time to give out another award here at the My Park, My Rides Blog. This time its the Sorcerer's Wand for Best Ride Vehicle in Epcot. After much consideration the wand goes to...........

Soarn'

Most people probably consider Soarin' has more of a theater than a ride vehicle. But really, it is one of the most innovative ride systems in WDW. The Imagineers came up with such a unique ride design. It literally feels like you are flying up into the screen. I also love how they used the scent fans like in Horizons. There is nothing quite like that scent of oranges they use.

What do you guys think? Do you agree?
