Disney Interlude

Epcot

We spent a perfect day at Epcot, probably the best choice of theme parks here for older adults like us. There were quite a few people there but not nearly as many as there could have been. The recent cold weather seems to have thinned out the crowds somewhat.

So we had a warm sunny day in which we were able to see absolutely every attraction without, for the most part, waiting in long lines.

Since we were here 20 years ago there have been a lot of upgrades. Technology has definitely moved on during that time and it has been used to good effect throughout the park, from the rides to the fireworks and light show in the evening. If you have never been here, or it has been a long time since you were, we would recommend a visit now.

Having said that, we did not really feel it was necessary to see any more of the theme parks on this trip. We would have liked to stick around the Orlando area for a few more days, especially as the weather is so good here, but suddenly the hotels are getting busy and they want a lot more money for us to extent our stay. So it is with some regret that we are forced to move on.

Overnight we had a bit of the thunderstorm and we noticed that the storm cells are moving in a southeasterly direction. Therefor we are setting our sites in a northeasterly direction, towards what we hope will be more nice weather and cheap hotels.
