Posted on
Epcot’s China pavilion is rather calming with its tranquil reflecting ponds and authentic gardens. You can watch a Circle Vision 360 film, look at a diminutive replica of tomb warriors from Emperor Qin, and of course, shop and eat.

In keeping with the theme of every land and section of a Disney park, trashcans are painted and decorated accordingly. They’re so conveniently located that there’s no reason for trash to carelessly end up elsewhere. In the Magic Kingdom, a well-used trashcan sits on the sidewalk happily helping to keep things neat and pretty. Disney … Continue reading "Keep Main Street, U.S.A. Clean"
