One Little Spark Can Start A Fire!
May 24, 2011Two things that occured at the Destination D event at Disney World really got me thinking. First, there was the announcement that the Enchanted Tiki Room: Under New Management is going to be converted into something that very closely resembles the original Tiki Room Tropical Serenade. If you read my previous blog post on the fire in the Tiki Room a few months ago, you’ll know that I consider this welcome news.
The second occurrence was the appearance of The Dreamfinder and Figment during Richard Sherman’s session at Destination D. This got me thinking about how awesome it would be if they’d make the Imagination Pavilion into something that very closely resembles the original attraction, complete with an updated Image Works like it used to be! Unfortunately, I don’t see Disney doing this any time soon, and I’m not going to hire an arsonist to start a fire in Journey Into Imagination With Figment as some people are encouraging me to do.
But despite the current, uninspired attraction there is one thing about the Imagination Pavilion that hasn’t really changed since the park opened. The jumping water fountains were a delight to me on my first visit to Epcot back in 1983,
and they continue to be a delight to people today. From the leapfrogging water to the jellyfish shooters to the reverse waterfall, this is one part of the Imagination Pavilion worth visiting on every trip to Epcot. If you have children, you’d be wise to plan to spend at least 45 minutes letting your kids enjoy themselves in that area. Also, expect them to get wet. It will happen. Trust me.
Ingredients — the fresher the ingredients, the better the pizza is going to taste. This pizza screamed “fresh ingredients” at me. The basil, the tomatoes, the mozzarella… everything was fresh, light, and aromatic. I was really pleased with this.
