Disney Pic of the Week: Universe of Energy

Posted on by AllEars
Here’s an interesting photo I found of the outside of the Universe of Energy. At one time, in the early 2000s, the Flower and Garden festival would feature larger than life insects and bugs. From spiders to bees, to lady bugs.. they were great sculptures to see. Here is one in the water feature out … Continue reading "Disney Pic of the Week: Universe of Energy"

Disney Pic of the Week: Universe of Energy

Posted on by Scott Thomas
Back when Epcot first opened in 1982, the concept of using solar panels to produce electricity was still a new and expensive proposition. The Universe of Energy’s roof is filled with such panels which partially power the huge vehicles filled with guests through the attraction teaching when, where, how and what energy is. Universe of … Continue reading "Disney Pic of the Week: Universe of Energy"

Shopping Around Epcot’s World Showcase

Posted on by Scott Thomas
Shopping in Epcot’s World Showcase pavilions can be a lot of fun and very expensive. I prefer to “shop by camera” and to record items I find during my visits as the merchandise changes over time. For instance, upon leaving the Frozen Ever After ride and entering Puffin’s Roost shop in Epcot’s World Showcase Norway … Continue reading "Shopping Around Epcot’s World Showcase"

Disney Pic of the Week: Mission Space

Posted on by AllEars
I’m the first to admit I am not a fan. I wanted to be! I always dreamed of going into space as a kid growing up with Mercury, Gemini and Apollo. I will say Mission Space allowed me to experience a rocket launch but that’s about it. The rest is a blur. Here’s a nod … Continue reading "Disney Pic of the Week: Mission Space"

A Visit to Club Cool in Epcot

Posted on by Scott Thomas
In 2005, Coca Cola re-imagined their popular Ice Station Cool in Epcot into Club Cool. Last year I brought in my camera with a Fisheye lens attached to photograph the coolest club in Epcot. The entrance to the Coca Cola beverages has moved and its space has gotten a bit bigger. Still with same theme … Continue reading "A Visit to Club Cool in Epcot"

Disney Photo of the Week: Living Seas

While not an opening day attraction, the Living Seas grand opening was held in January 1986 with Michael Eisner, Diver Mickey Mouse and Diver Frank Wells. In the early days of the Living Seas, you walked along banister lined curves that displayed historical photographs and artifacts of famous undersea explorations. Here was one the displays … Continue reading "Disney Photo of the Week: Living Seas"

Disney Pic of the Week: The Seas with Nemo & Friends

Posted on by Scott Thomas
The Seas of the world are ever moving, always in motion. I really liked how Disney captured that trait of the sea at The Living Seas when it first opened and kept it with the re-imagined The Seas with Nemo & Friends in Epcot’s Future World. The sign to the attraction sits in the middle … Continue reading "Disney Pic of the Week: The Seas with Nemo & Friends"

Disney Pic of the Week: The Land

Posted on by AllEars
Like most of Future World, I get lost looking through my photo galleries for each pavilion and start remembering times past and things that would make me smile. I’ve always loved The Land, there is/was so much do to in one building. One of my favorite “original” attractions is still there, the Living with the … Continue reading "Disney Pic of the Week: The Land"
