An Exceptional Epcot Evening: Journey of Water, Luminous, Flower & Garden Topiaries, & More!
Join me in the fourth installment of my 2024 Solo Florida Trip vlogs as I spend a dazzling evening at Epcot in Walt Disney World! During my time, I do some of my favourite rides and attractions like Soarin', Living With the Land, Spaceship Earth, Test Track, the aquarium in the Seas Pavilion, and Journey Into Imagination with Figment. I also get to experience the Journey of Water Inspired by Moana walkthrough attraction for the very first time.
I think the highlight of my visit, however, was getting to take in the beautiful sights around the park. At the time of my visit, Epcot had just wrapped up the Festival of the Arts and was already preparing for the International Flower & Garden Festival, which meant that I got to see some beautiful topiaries and flowers around the park. The park had also finished a major reimagining of their central pathways, so I got to explore some new areas of the park and check out the new "Walt the Dreamer" statue. Of course, I finished my first Disney World day by catching Epcot's newest nighttime spectacular, Luminous: The Symphony of Us.
LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT:
Epcot and Walt Disney World Resort are located on the traditional and treaty lands of the Seminole, Miccosukee, and Mascogo first nations. As a visitor to these lands, I acknowledge my responsibilities as a settler to challenge colonialism and the systems of oppression that have marginalized indigenous peoples, and will work to uplift indigenous voices and create a more inclusive and equitable community for all.

I am happy that the place is even open to begin with, but I can’t wait to see what it looks like in a few years. I have heard that the park has a second train, but it isn’t ready to be put on the track yet. I think they’re also going to install drive tires over the weekend. But of course, those are just rumours until the park confirms it.

    This is a very exciting video! So much hype for my home park! I think inside those large areas will come with a large set of family activities, indoor parks like in the West Edmonton Mall are my best guess! Wax museums, mini rides, indoor roller coasters, kids' playplaces, arcades, the works! Despite the drawbacks of a parking lot, it did do one thing I really liked which was to build up the actual entrance. When you walk there, there's nothing blocking your sight, and your eyes are guided toward the entrance, and then when you walk past that threshold you get to see Wonder Mountain and everything! I hope that if this expansion does come, it still preserves the anticipation and clear sightline of what you're coming for. :D They also really need some way to get a subway extension, it would reduce parking, make the expansion multiseason, and make CW more accessible to Torontonians, especially for most young thrill-seekers who probably don't own a car. Something you mentioned at the start of the video piqued my curiosity. You mentioned how Canada's Wonderland was acting very creatively when it came to maximizing its space efficiency. Would you ever consider making a video on that? Thanks for your analysis! Vid was awesome!

    Uni Florida has some of my least favorite theme park attractions in the country (Supercharged, Rip Ride Rockit, Simpsons, & Minion Blast) but it also has some of the greatest entertainment in the world & of course a few ELITE coasters + dark rides!!! Love seeing your positive perspective on a great Park combined with your always-elite editing 👏

      @@RankingTheMouse Yeah, all things considered, I think the balance in this park between rides and entertainment is what makes this park great. Even though there’s a few meh rides, everything else makes up for it. Thanks for always being so supportive of my vids! Appreciate man 😁

      They do now that they own Fox, but this land was built before the acquisition happened and is licensed under a separate agreement. I don’t know when that contract expires, but I honestly don’t see Disney doing anything with The Simpsons in their parks, so I imagine the deal will be renewed when the time comes.

    Universal loves it's IP and simulators. Not the biggest fan of Fallon (keeping in mind this is a family vlog) - but I'm very happy to see the Tonight show lineage represented at the ride. Thanks for including it! The parade was a parade. Didn't see many shirtless lobsters during my trip to New Orleans, but hey. Bless that gator gal for trying to get the crowd into it. That beignet looked, um, interesting. How did it taste? It's interesting for me, as much as I love the history & classic films of Universal Studios, not a fan of the park. Granted I've only done Hollywood. Oh,and yes Parker I prefer Spiderman too.

      Yeah, I was a big fan of Fallon around the time the ride opened, but not so much these days. I did appreciate the history of the show though, and I wish I had more time to explore that first lounge (there was no wait so I was kinda rushed through there lol). I don’t actually know too much about the real Mardi Gras in NOLA, but the shirtless lobsters were quite fun 🤪 And yesss the Gator Girl was so iconic! She was my fave performer of the entire parade. I do appreciate the shows and walking all the streets, but I feel like they could use another proper thrill ride, or another animatronic-heavy dark ride to round things out.

      @@AdventuresWithParker I appreciate the effort of those impersonating Jake & Elwood. Gotta be tough portraying such iconic characters. I was in New Orleans on Halloween with ECW. Got to actually be in the parade on their float. Looking forward as to the remainder of Season 8!

      listen, this is probably zamperlas BIGGEST project yet, the closure was caused by stress on the trains / wheels (if im not mistaken) so there will obviously be at least some problems. also intamin went through this too where they were bad, but look at them now! also intamin made TTD
